The Late Gen. Van Dern.

The staff OF the late General Van
Dorm have published a card, which
the Atlanta Confederacy pronounces
/" a very lame effort to relieve him Of
some OF the odium whic attaches to
his name in connection with his
DEATH" That paper adds: cyan
Dorm has been Reorganization years
as a rake, a most wicked bettine-
and more especially of late. II be
had led a virtuous life, be would not
have died the death Of dog = 'un-
wept, unhonored, and unsung.'
Think Of the universal respect
paid 70 The lamented jackson. The
whole country is filled with mourning
and tears at bis death, while no man
expresses, even a regret at the fate
Of Van Dorm. Here lis a striking il.
lustration Of the difference between
sin and righteousness-beiwee the
devotion OF a mans life to the most
Infamous and debasing of all human
vices and-the most commendable and
elevating christian virtues. The
country has sustained no loss 10 the
death of Won Dorm. It is happy
radiance. He was unfit to live, let
alone having charge Of such important
trusts as he had"

Yet in the same paper containing
these detailed statements Of a loss o

army, there is one of the usual and
characteristic editorials asserting the
whole loss not to exceed 10000!

Hon. G. EalIandiehamr

The following are said to be the
views and opinions of Mr.. VALLAN-
DIGHAM, who is now 10 Shelbyyille,
with regard to bis arrival and stay
in this Confederacy:
Mr.. VALLANDIGnAM comes upon
sompulsiou, and against his consent,
10 the Confederate lines, and is re-
eeived rs a citizen Of Ohio and Of
the United States, in exile : Danish
ed from his country for no offence
except love OF constitutional liberty
and the true principles of his gov
eminent, outraged by the despotism
Of the Lincoln Administration.
Having been forcibly denied rro-
lection in the United States he is
Obliged 10 seek it from the Confed-
crate States.
Whilst, as az exile, be is conf
dent Of kind treatment and consid-
Grafton from generous and hospi-
table people, he desires to avoid all
public appearance or administration,
and 10 live in some retired place as q
private gentleman, fully sensible that
as an "alien enemy" bis residence in
| the Confederacy is solely by the
generous consent of The Government
and people till he can return safely
to his home.
/ He is confident HE character is
well enough known that be ID. inca
pable Of any word or act, either here
or On his return to bis home incon.
lsistent with the relations which be
THUS sustains towards the South du
ring bis sejourn among US.
The foregoing may be relied upor
as foil and correct report Of an in
terview held by one Of our friend.
with the distinguished gentleman who
has been driven into our lines by the
absurd and fanatical despotism of
Abraham Lincoln.
! Mr.. Vallapdigham is a parsonage
of most pleasing manners and ad
dress, without any pretension or os
4 tentation whatever. He is apparent
.f .-f -
jly Al or.42 years Of age, with darl
hair, of a robast and active form
about 5 feet 10 inches in height
:, His eyes ale blue, full, penetrating
and honest. His communication il
unbesitating and sincere, and one
cannot meet him without admirine
and esteeming his manly, genial
straightforward character.
/ We are thus particular in describ
ling the man, for be will doubtless b.
elected Governor Of the great State
of Ohio, in October next. in which
case he will perform one of the mos
Remarkable roles in the annals of tht
American continent. and eventually
be raised TO the seat so foully poliut
