The DEATH OF EARL VAN DoRE.-The
disgraceful death of one of the prominent reb-
el leaders of the Southwest is not Inconsistent
with the tenor of his life. He was that officer
of our regular army by whose treachery a
part of our forces were made prisoners, in vi
olation Of formal and solemn agreement
signed BY the traitor Twiggs, guaranteeing
them safe conduct out Of the state; with their
arms, eolors and train, Van DerH endeavor-
ed to corrupt the privates and persuade them
to enter the rebel service. They refused to a
man; and. whether sung by their faithfulness
to the flag be had Just outraged, or whether
frSm pure recklessDess and contempt for hon
orable warfare, be caused the force to be stop
ped, disarmed, and held for long time as
prisoners of war. His fellows and superiors
in rebellion. Davis and Twigs, approved of
bis dishonorable course, and the former made
him at brigadier-general and then major
general as a reward.
He was rollieking spirit and rough II
der, and for time it was supposed be would
be one Of the most valuable officers of the in
surgeDt army. But we have heard that his
twO-fold treachery affected bis selfrespect as
well as the estimation in which he was held,
and be was not the same man, after he had
once broken she parole of TWigs and consign-
ed his late companions in arms to a military
prison, that he had been. He was not Eauch
prised as general, for, though brave leader
in attack, be did not know how to plan; and,
like many Of the old army officers, long train
ed to the management of small forces, he was
better able to handle a squadron than divis-
ion. In the campaign where be was pitted
against Roseerans he got himself constantly
into trouble, and was beaten with ease by
man whom the rebels used TO speak contempt
ously of as only kerosene lamp maker.
A boaster, lover of strong drink, loose,
Tulgar, reckless and lawless man, Earl Van
Ooru was a fair type of the moral products
If slavery, and of that class which stirred up
he rebellion in pure contempt for law and
light. His shameful death was fitting close
o his shameful career-N Y. Post.
