Editors Register and Adrertissr
We, the undersigned, members Of the late
Gen. Van Dorn's staff, having seen with pain
and regret the various rumors aIl5at in the
public press, in relation TO the circumstances
attending that officers death, deem it our du-
ty to make plain statement OF tbs f.cts In
the case.
Gen. Vsn Dorm was shot in his own room
at Spring Hull, Tenu., By De-. Psssrs, cidz,n
of tia nsjghborhood. He as shot in the
back of the head, while engaged in writing
st his table, and entirely unconecinus Of any

him Ave minutes later ssiting In his chair,
with bis hack towards his saamy.
There hsi fssn friendly visits between

Gen. Van Dorm had never seen the daugh-
ter of his murderer but opce while his 90
qusintance with Mira. Peters was such a. to
convince us, his staff officers, who had every
opportunity of knowing, that there was no
improper intimacy between thsm; and for
our own part, Wa axe lad to believe that there
wsrs other aud darker motives, from the fact
that DR.. Peters hsd taken tho oath Of ale
glance to The United States Government, " hlle
ia Nashville, aoous two weeks previouAly y

that hs had remarked 10 Columbus, short
