Van Dorn,
To»Hay we publish a card from the staff of
General Van Dorn, which we regard as a very
lame ellori 10 relieve himol some of the odium
which juMiy attaches to his name in connection
with his death. Van Dorn lias been recognized
tor years as a rake, a most wicked libertine—
and more especially ffi late. It he had led a vir»
tuoua life, he would not have died the death of a
tJog— 'unwept, unhonored and unaing."
Think of the universal respect paid to the
memory of the lamented Jackson. The whole
country is filled will) mourning and tears at hia
death, while no man express*! oven a regret at
the fate of Van Dorn. Hero is a atriking illus
tration of the difference between sin and right-
cousnesa—between the devotion of a man’s life
,o the moat infamous and debasing of all human
vices and the moat commendable and elevating
Christian virtues. The country has sustained
no loss in the death of Van Dorn. It is a happy
riddance. He was unfit to live, let alor.c have
charge of such important trusts as he had.

It is an earnest and forcible • appeal to tbe

the glaring want Of rectilnde in certain de
partments, which are most intimately allied

our readers are already familiar with the his

Among the troops which distinguished
tbc-inselves in tbe battles, none won a higher
reputation or played a more gallant and.con
spicuous part than General Thomas’ Georgia
Brigade, composed of tbe 14tn, 36lh, 45th
and 49th Ga. regiments They occupied tbe
front line on Saturday night, though worn out
with long marohing and watching, and open
ed the light on Sunday morning. When or
dered to charge they rushed forward and with
out a halt, swept over the Kteast works in the
face of a terrible fire driving the enemy like
sheep before them. This brigade was the
first to carry the enemy’s defenses and break
their line. _

Resolved. That the State of Maryland shall
never be taken from under the Stars und Strips
under any cirrumstanees, nor any condition, if
it can be prevented by the sacrifice of onr
lives and fortunes; ami to this declaration,
in the prcaonco of Almighty God, we hereby
pledge each other.
Resolved, That the existence of the Ameri
can-nation is to be maintained above ail local
interests, opinions and instuiions ; and that we
declare our solemn purpose that though all
things else should perish, this country and
this Union shall live.
Resolved, That wo doolaro unconditional
support ot the government in any measure it
may determine to be necessary in the prose
cution of the war. and that the war ought to
be praseented until the authority of the gov
ernment is acknowledged, and its flag waveit
unassailed over every part of the national
territory.
Resolved, That the origin and progress of the
rcaelliou leaves no room to dcubt that the insti
tution of slavery has become an instrument in
the hands of traitors to build an oligarchy on
the ruins ot republican liberty; that its contin
ued existence is incompatible with the mainten
ance of republican forms of government in the
States in subordination to the Constitution oi
the United States, and that the emancipation
proclamation of the President ought to be made
atlaw by Congress, and backed by all the power
S laced by Congress in the hands of the Presi-
ent; that traitors have no right to enforce the
obedience of slaves, and that against traitors in

and to the extent they can be used, whether
it be to handle a spade or shoulder a musket.
Retched. That-thc safety and interest of the
State of Maryland, and especially of her white
laboring people, require that slaverv should
cease to be recognised by the law of Maryland,
and that the aid of the united States, as recom-
i tended by the President, ought to be asked and
accepted to alleviate the public and private ins
convenience incident to the change. ,
Resolved, That we return our heartfelt thanks
to Maj GenSchenck, commanding this depart
ment, for the policy he has inaugurated and pur
sued, and that we will support hint morally and
physically, and that we exhort him to go on in
hie good course to the utter confusion of treason

A DESERTER. TO THE YANKEES
On Thursday night last a member of the
13th Mississippi regiment deserted to the pub
lic enemy. He was an ignorant fellow, add
reported a great coward. Ho should have boen
tried for desertion in the face of the pnb
lie enemy. Our loss, therefore, is really a
gain.
A DESERTER FROM TOE YANKEES
Last night a beautiful horse swam the river
and entered onr lines here at the town. He
was taken to Gen. Barksdale, and by the Gen
eral turned over to the 'Quartermaster’s de
partment.
BETUEH OF CITIZENS
Messrs. J. F. Scott, John Howuon, of this
place, and several other citizens of this city
aod vicinity, who were arrested near Cban-
eellorsville during the fight, have been released
and arrived home. There are a number of
others, however, from tho neighborhood, who
ought to be returned who are still held.
A. H. n. BERNARD.
I s<«e by a statement iu the Baltimore Amer
ican that this gentleman, who, it is said; was
arrested during tho first flighting at Frede
ricksburg in December last, is still in ••du
rance vile.” It was supposed by bis friends
that he hud been released, and waa in King
George, at a friend’s house. This acoount
further stated, that under the ruins of his
house, Mansfield, which was burned by our
troops, there was found about $100,000 in
Confederate money. The amouns 1 can’t help
thinking is exaggerated; but it is highly prob
able they may have found some.

From the 4«t Is Georgia.
The Columbus Sun says:—“A dispatch from
Lieut. Col. Daniel, of the 46th Georgia, was
received here this morning, dated Meridian,
15th. It stated that Colquitt, with the five
firat companies of the regiment, was in the
fight, and thtthe (Col. Daniel), in eharge of
the remainder did not get up in time. Fur
ther, that Col. Colquitt was unhurt. The lo
cation and result of the fight is not stated.
We presume, however, that it must have oc
curred at or near Jachaon.”
number, howover, is small, and will doubtless
soon be received via City Point.
AN ERROR.
In my letter descriptive of the battle it
seems that I have been misled in representing
A. P. Hill as being left to hold the enemy in
check whilst tbe enemy were flanked by the
other two divisions of Jackson’s corps,
learn from a member of his staff that this di
vision was the third line of battle in the flank
ing party, but the fight beoomiug promiscu
ous it fought up to and along with the first
line, on Sunday morning.
FACILITIES TOR REPORTERS.
It is passing strange that, though your cor
respondent his been with the army now near
ly six months, he has never been invited to
any corps headquarters, and have only called
twice at division headquarters, and at only
one of these by invitation. Yet the corres
pondent of the London Times, who is writing
for the English people, is specially invited to
our general headquarters, where he ie able to
gather many items that would be doubtless
interesting to those who are sustaining this
war by the blood of their first born and their
patrimonial inheritance. For this distinction
1 blame noL the General commanding who is
my model of a soldier, a gentleman and a
patriot; but I merely mention th'S in exten-
uxtion of errors-of omission and commission
in respeit to the recent battles. Let the pros
either be invited to a representation at head
quarters, or be advised that their presence
there during or After a battle, will be agreea
ble, and my impression is, fuller and by far
more interesting details will be furnished for
pnblioation. In saying this, I am satisfied,
too, that the good sense ot the representatives
of the press here in keeping back everything
that ought to be suppressed has never been
excelled anywhere.

Then noble type of the good old time

When Right could grasp the soul of Might .
And bind it helpless at her side,
When Reason glowed in radiant light f
And checked tbe flow of Falsehood^ tide—
Through thee Truth’s trampled in At dust;
The last dim ray of fair renownf
Has flickered ’neath the pois’d one thrust
That tears the noble fabric do
All that thy land could boast of j

Sin rears its throne where Vir|Ee stooj*

To brand a traitor witlfhis shamo?
Lust-poisoned!—nothiwg lingers there
Bat the dim memory of a name.
All that thy nation oaeo hath been,
Ail that a nation e’er.couid be.
Hag faded from th’ emblazoned screen;
And nought is left for man to see
But Folly, triple-dyed with Guilt, »

And the tall fabricAeemen built

Shame, Sin and yfst—base t ri-une -otAd

And the proud ediblciu of thy land,

In whom the soul of Chatham lives
And argues'still ita purpose grand,—

Shut from the gUrious light of day.

Too great, too dear, the glittering gem,
The’r jaundiced aigbt obscured its good.
They staggered ’neath the mighty thought.
That a great nation could he just,

And hurled on thee their hateful thrust.
But walls can’t hem thy influence in;

The Black Flag.
Tho Georgia papers are complaining of the
kindness shown to the prisoners taken at
Rome by Gen. Forrest. Many of the ruffians,
it is said, were permitted to ro m about At
lanta at their own will, and tho officer? eape
dally, were troatod with sem e degree of re
spect by tbe citizens. Similar instances of a
mistaken liencency we find mentioned almost
daily in the nowspapers. If this war were
one of aggression on our part, or tho enemy
ooald bo brought to his souses by kindness,
some reason might be discovered for it. Bat
as it is, both justice and policy condemn it.
In the first place it shocks the sense of every
patriolio man; and, in the second place, it is
an encouragement to the enemy.
After Lincoln’s proclamation in relation to
tho slaves was first received in the yankee ar
my and threats of retaliation wore made on
onr side, there was a great degree of appre
hension, and few raiding or scouting expedi
tions wore undertaken without a mortal dread
of capture. They believed our threats, and
felt in their own hearts that the attempt to
provoke all the horrors of ininirrection and
massacre deserved death. This woe repeated
ly expressed by prisoners taken at that time.
All this wholesome dread of justice has dis
appeared, and now raids are ljttle more than
holiday excursions. If successful, plunder,
devastation, insult, and every species of
been ‘ZrtTi/to sawT to" WMbin^on^Th! ™ n 8 heaped on our people without pun
ishment If checked, these miscreants have
only to surrender, and their carcasses are not
only safe, but they receive treatment which is
sometimes denied even to onr own wounded
men. They are paroled—what they dqsiri
and then escape service in their own armies
as well.aa retributive juetioe from us. 80
that raid making, as we allow it to bo carried
on, is simply diversion, if unsuccessful; and if
successful, its reward is applause, plunder and
promotion,
By the laws of all our States the penalty of
negro stealing or schemes to incite negro in
snrreetion is death; and yet the practice of
.both these crimes on a gigantic scale by the
enemy is absolutely tolerated. A thousand
men, with torches in their hands, and seit-
tering incitements to insurreotion and general
massacre, can ride through the heart of the
country with no more apprehension of condign
pnnisbment than if they were mere visi
tors, and not the most barbarous of ene
mies.
This is not right, and nothing but evil can
corns of it It is shocking to all oar ideas of
justice, and extremely repugnont to every
earnest patriotic sentiment.
Louisiana has been devastated by the ene
my. Her best citizens hive been impover
ished, and are scattered, homeless and often
in want, throughout all tbo States of tbe
Confederacy. Within two days the capital of
Mississippi has boen nearly destroyed by
these some monsters, mal yet, we suppose, the
soldiers from those States will be set down by
s itae people who ooansel war on peace prin
ciples as eruel if they should overtake and
massacre the fiends of Gen. Grant. We do not
agree with them, and shoH* consider the cry
of “no quarter” not only just lint meritorious.
We pray that not one man of these miscreants
may find protection in tho cry of mercy.—

Write Cheerfully.
In writing to your frionds in the army write
cheeringly.' To the at peat, hom o should ap
pear enveloped ia sunshine nnd flowers, and
not in elonds. D.>rit magnify little demouio
embarrassments, which can only annoy and
distress the soldier, and accomplish no good.
Men have deserted and gone home on the re
ceipt of gloomy letters from their iamilies,
and been shot for it. And if no such fatal
result should follo w, any despondency or dark
pictures which your letters may exhibit, must
still have a bad effect. Therefore write ebeer-
ingly to your friends In the army.
