The Killing of Van Dorm by DIR. Peters.
Correspondence Of the Richmond Enquirer.l
CHArrANnnGL Tnasdaz MAY ID

A gentleman just from Spring Hill, in Mawry
county, gives me some particulars In regard to
the death of Van Dorm. The facts are sngu-
larly tragic, and 10 time of peace would create
q national fnrore The crowded condition OF the
great war caDvass, however, will distract the
public eye from q quiet domestic melo drama.
Since taking up his quarters at Spring Hill,
Van Dorm has been upon terms OF criminal in
timacy with MIRA. DR.. Peters. She was Miss
McKissiek- handsome and intelligent.
Her family ia one of the highest respectabilty
aud considerable wealth. Her husband has been
one of the most esteemed citizens--an amiable
man, member of the State Senate and o
heavy planter. A brother, Major Petets, ia
Chief Quartermaster to Gen. Polk. The pair
have been married (second marriage on the part
OF ahe gentlsman) for about Ave yeSrs.
On tho day of the occurrence, DR.. Peters
called upon Van Dorm and obtained pass 10 go
to Nashville, Van Dorm gave is readily, doubt
less feeling glad TO get rid of a disagreeable
aud dangerOua incumbrance. They were Alone
together in an upper room, and it ia supposed
that Petess shot from back OF Van DOfn's head,
which was eplit in twain by the bullet. The re-
port was not heard, however, and Peters mount-
ed his hOrso, rode away, crossed the lines with
the pass previously obtained, and entered Nash
ville. He has been, learn, received with
marks of distinguished welcome.
The body of Van Dorm WAC coffined and sent
of for interment. Mrs. Peter3 has returned to
her 0wu family.
These are the facts, haTd and dry. Rumors
of the conduct OF Van Dorm, not only in this
one instance, but in others near Columbia, have
been prevalent for some time Without doubt
he has acted very badly. My informant tells
me that he has degraded the cause and disgust
cd every one by his inattention to his duties aAd
his cohetant devotion to the ladies', and that to
the exclusion of all else. Wine and women
have ruined him, as they have ruined many
another brilliant, but reckless man. That Van
Dorm was Q man of daring genius there can be
no doubt Being handsome, with dark, flashing
eyes, magnificent moustaohe, superb rider,
shoWy address, quick-witted and graceful, he
was also man of sagaoous foresight, keen,
intelligent, but wholly and thoroughly unrelia-
bic. He always sacrificed his business to his
pleasure. He was never at his pos. when he
ought to be. He'was either tied to a womsn'a
pton.strings or heated with wine

ROMANTIC The Chicago Journal gives q
curious development which Was made few
days ago, following the death of certain Mrs.
Bradley. whose husband had also died few
weeks before, leaving her enormous wealth.
During her husbands life she had had lover,
who was also married, between whom existed
bond, stipulatiug that they should marry each
other when both were freed from legal impede
ments, l.. e., their respective partners then liy-
log. The gentleman's wife, it appears, was the
first to take herself good-naturedly off, and
soon after followed the lady's husband 10 the
mean time. however Mrs. Bradley had found
still q third lover, whom she liked the best, and
30 refused 60 comply with the condition OF her
bond. To this document was attached q pecu-
mary penalty, and the discarded lover conmenc.
cd suitupon it,which the dckle widow prop ,esd
TO defend. Her wedding day was fixed, and
everything in readiness for the ceremony, when
she suddenly sickened and died, leaving her RI
val suitors In the luroh--the one losing the
amount OF his bond, and the other his bride, with
the balance of her fortune, which now goes to
her late husbands relatives.

Gov. Seymour's Welcome to the 18th
New York Regiment.

On the arrival of the 10th New York regi-
ment, State volunteers, at Albany, Cow SEY-
MoUR welcomed them as follows:
Soldiers of the 18th Reeiment-With the close
Of this day will expire the two years for which
your regiment was mustered into the United
States service. Your thnned ranks are most
eloquent Witnesses that your duty, ss soldiers of
the Union, hss been religiously discharged
When, on the 25tb of May, 1861, you were mus-
tered into service, your regiment numbered
eight hundred stslwart men. You went forth
with your banners fresh and beautiful you re-
turn with them worn and tattered, but more
beautiful and more sacred to u.s. for the perils
and hardshipa through which they have been
borne.
! congratulate you upon your return to our
State, and upon the prospect of your speedy re-
union with friends at home. many who went
out with you in the vigor Of manhood and
health have been denied this privilege. The
records Of the battles of West Point, Gaines'a
Mills, Crampton, Antietam and FredeIicks-
burg will account for the five hundred missing
soldiers. Their bones are crumbling upon the
Peninsula and whitening the hills OF the Blue
Ridge. We welcome you, their comrades in
arms, aud in behalf of the people of the State,
whom you have go honorably served, invoke the
richest blessings Of Providence upon you
We will place your torn banners, amid others
which have come 10 us from the battle field, in
the archives OF the State, and cherish them ss
precious memorials.
Soldiers! You are now about to return to
your homes, in the northern part of the State.
You will soon look forth upon che beautiful
waters of Lake Chsmplain, the rolling st. Law.
renee and Lake Ontario, along whose different
shores most of you reside. l'.
You will return to the duties Of civil life, pre-
pared, ve trust, to discharge them with the
same fidelity and honor you have m manifested in
the field.
And now let me give you kindly word of
caution before bidding you farewell, You are
about to enjoy that repose to which you ara so
juatly entitled, and to receive portion of that
pay you have so hardly and honorably earned.
Be prudent, be careful, and do not let the de-
signing or the unprincipled rob you of your
mouey-keep Ii for the hour Of sickness, and for
the aid Of those near and dear to you.
Again, as Governor OF the State of New York,
aud Commsnder-in- Chief of its military forces,
l thank you for your patriotic services.

a. t. Stewards Income Tax.


NEw York, June 1870 all the IMPOSE
tions they ever suffered, our rich men are
beginning to find the one known as the iu-
come tax the most "intOlerable and not to
be endured" Il is quite question which
horn of the dilemma they most dislike; the
figuring up oflast years profits, the paying
of the tax thereupou, or the possible pub
licity of the amount upon which the "hor-
rid" three per cent. is assessed. While
the people of moderate means have little
trouble to tell how much they had left after
paying rent and deducting the blessed six
hundred, rich folks have hard work to get
at the receipts Of 1862 with the critical
correctness suggested by the affidavit at
the bottom of the Assessors blank, As an
instance of this blissful ignorance, 1 NAV
cite the case of A. T. Stewart, who is said
to be entirely in the dark as to the amount
upon which his income tax should be based.
that he has credit tor telling the Assessor
his troubles, and adding that she couldn't
tell whether his income for 1862 was more
or less than tteo millions, but he was will.
ing TO pay the tax ON that amount, as
being in his opinion nearly enough correct
for all practical pprposes.n So saying. he
handed over his check for the neat little
sum of Sizty thousand dollars! There is
little room to doubt whether any other in.
diViduRl in the country will go into the in
come tax business this year with such a
looseness as the New York Merchant
Prince,

FAIRMoET, WEST Va,
June "a. 1868,

Editor. 1ntslligeacer:-With all due re.
spect to your superior knowledge, and
more especially to your military knoWledge,
must beg pardon for troubling you with
my views upon the subject of fortifying
Wheeling. Ia my opinion, if there ever
was an injustice attempted to be perpetra-
ted upon a free people, it is that of forti-
lying Wheeling, while the real State of
West Virginia is being left to the mercy of
the rebel horse thieves and highway mur-
derers, who are now trodding as it were,
with impunity over almost half of our
State. An injustice, surely the like was
never before heard of. TO nse fifty thous-
and dollarsito fortify Wheeling, while the
