Gard from DR.. Van buren,.

Editors LnteHigeHeer:
In the last issue of your sheet you notify
your patrons aud readers, that Dr.. Van Blu
rem was arrested and brought before the
Provost Marshal under suspicion of being
accessory in attempting to enter the vaults
of the Custom House.
Were acting strictly in private capa-
city 1 should permit the announcement to
go by UNDECIDED and deem it beneath my
dignity TO offer any rebut in the matter
But as gain my livelihood by the profess
sion to which have the honor to belong,
and believe the article published in your
paper is we'll calculated to do me much
harm, lam necessarily compelled to ask
that q full statement be placed before, tho
public.
The whole facts in the case are as fol-
lows: a soldier came to me and said that
a subordinate officer or clerk In the Pro-
yost Marshals Office had authorized him
him to present me to the Paymsster.
went with him, aud when 7 saw the Pay
master, he seat me to Major Darr's office,
and there l was Immediately dismissed,
without being asked a question. i inquired
OF each of the above officers TO know why
had been brought before them, bat nei-
Their gave me any definite answer; and un-
til read the article in your sheet, was
not actually aware that had been arrest
ed.
You give the cause of my arrest and add,
that there being no evidence against me,
was discharged, which would infer that my
case had gone through proper investiga-
tion-when the facts were had not even
been informed that was under arrest
neither was there any charge to my knowl-
edge made against me. Itmay.b be that the
"subordinate officer" who sent for me and
instgated the movement intended the ac-
tion as an arrest-and my acquaintance
with Major Darr was probably my only
saving grace. Or, as you say, am a
stranger" in the city, aud it may be a
military necessity to arrest every indi-
yidual simply because he is stranger "
However, as above stated, have for some
time had the acquaintance OF Major Darr,
and before the said arrest. had the honor
of knowing many highly respectable gen
tlemen who would have ia trying hour
vonehed for an unfortunate stranger who
is entirely. unacquainted with the weak
spots In the Surveyor of Customs vaults.

between three and four thousand of our

bloody days of Friday aud Saturday last.
The loss Of the two days to us of killed aud
wounded could not be less than 5000, and
that of the rebels must have been con-
siderably greater, and the end is not yet.
Iregret to say thatI was obliged 70 handle

pecially of the I'd and Sd regiments. both
of which have suffered severely. Col.
Thoburn and the division he commands
were last evening at Fairfax Station and

imposed on by host of idlers who have
joined the army and yet seize all occasions

of this, the Nashville Union says:
From high military authority 1t is learn

number actually on duty does not exceed

Twelfth virglnia Regiment.

Editors LnteElignesr:
Having returned this morning from
visit to the Twelfth Virginia Regiment, It
may be gratifying TO their many friends
and acquaintances to learn how they are
situated. Four of the companies, A, B, E,
and G, were ordered to Buckhannon on
Tuesday. The remaining six are enca Up
ed near Olarksburg. With very few ex-,
captions they are in excellent health and
spirits. Those six companies are required
to detail eighteen men each, daily-;welve
for picket and six for camp guard duty
This materially interferes with company
drill-that is With the whole company OBJ
tanning speedy knowledge of it. Withal,
they are making rapid advancement, as
only such men can.
They have a stringent liquor law at this
post, and it Is rigidly enforced-at least as
regards the private soldier. This is no in.
situation. It was refreshing to see couple
OF such places ''cleaued outp by detRch-
ment under our good Capt Curtis. They
had to yield up the treasured jewel"
though they used it only for the baby when
| it was sick; "and there's no harm in that,
I'm sure"
It will, know, be comforting 10 the fam
lilies and friends of those men to learn, that
whilst exposed to many temptations, they
manifest by their becoming department
that they are men of principle. 1t was my
happiness to be quartered with Capt. Cur.
tis' company, and during my stay among
them have no recollection of hearing {
A profane word, or vulgar language from ont
of them. This is only as it ought TO be, bu
it is saying much for camp life. But from

Lougstreet, commanded in the different en-

Only about one-hAlf of the entire army
was around Washington, he says, as far as
his means of knowing goes. but reinforce

their .sindependence."

that the next night after the attempted rob-
berry be had guard of three men inside
aud in front of the rooms occupied by him
in the Custom House. III addition, he had
a wicker door constructed and light kept
burning, SO that any one of the outside
guards could see into the very room where
the vault is. Why could not this guard
have been mounted Wednesday night aud
all nights previOus2 1t was just as cheap
to have it done one time as another, and
just as necessary.
We have no desire to say more than
is called for about this matter. We would
have let IT drop with our remarks Wednes-
day morning, but for the very insulting card
which the Major addresses to US this morn
ing. He smarts under our comments and
the public censure, and he wants to Insults
us all he can In an insiuuatiug and under
handed way, for having dared to discharge
an honest duty to the Government. We did
not say all, nor the worst that could have
been said about the gross neglect of duty
that has prevailed in the Pay Department
here. We never mentioned that for many
nights thousands upon thousands::of dollars
were kept in the vaults of the Collector in
the Custom House, when there was not a
lock on his uauit, and not a soldier or ciOil-
ian left TO keep tOatcA cf it. Yet that was the
fact, and it presents dereliction of duty
even more gross and amazing than that OF
the other night.
With these comments we leave Maj. D.
