From the st Louis Republican,
We notice TINS paragraph merely to say that Captain
Van Vliet Will md difficulty In relieving himself from

officers the government bad, and he has erred

Captain Van Vlet by the st. Louis Republican, We have
watched the progress Of this conspiracy against

We speak from personal knowledge of facts con-
nected with this crusade against Captain Van Vet and
know that the charges base aud entirely unfounded
The disbursements made by Captain Van vliet amount
ed to four millions instead OF two stated by the cor
respondent Of the Times, aud the charges are
by set of disappointed mule contraclors-

the matter and exonersted him entirely. Now solely
out Of revenge, they bring charges against him with the
hope Of damaging his well known character for integrity
uprigbness and honesty.
For the information Of Captain Van Yliet's numerous
friends here and elsewhere state that these desperate
characters have charged MIN with having received large
sums of money from certain gentlemen who transacted
business at the Fort last ycGr.
