The report of The killing Of Gen. Earl Van born
of Tie rebel army, By an injured and indignant hus
baud, near Spring Hill, Tenn. Is confirmed. His
loss will probably net be regretted by the Confed-
erstes, while the feeling on our side will be that
better man could have been better spared. AS q
rebel officer we liked Van Dorm, for he never gave
the Federnla half the trouble that almost any other
would have giyon. Curtis whipped him badly at
Pea Ridge, and while operating in Northern Mis-
sissppi, Rosecrsns was considered too many for
him. Al Corinth aud luks, Van Dorm was out gen.
eraed by cur forces, and after turning his atten.
ion exclusively to the cavalry branch OF the SER
vice, he had not much better luck
Van Dorm was great favorite with JEFF. Davis,
on account Of personal friendship Of long stand.
ing. lie was native Of Mississippi, aud gradu-
ated at West Point In l8i2. While In the Fei-
eral service, his career, as military man, was
mertorious enough. lie received two brcyets for
gallRntry In the Mexican war, and particularly for
his conduct at Cerro Gordo, aud the battles ofCon-
troras aud Churubusco. lie was wounded in en-
tsring the City OF Mexico. When the present war
broke out he was Major in the crack Second cav
airy OF which Albert Sidney Johnston was Colonel
and Robert r.. Lee was Lieutenant Colonel Our
George Stoneman was Captain in the same regi-
iIncnt, and FitzhuRh Lee was Second Lieutenant.
Resigning with other Southern officers at the time
OF the Secession, he was appointed to a command
in the rebel army and stationed in ToIas whore ho
was whom Twiggs deserted his country and trench.
srousy surrendered the United States troops to the
enemy previous to joining the Confederates him
self.
We have said that Van Dorm was a member Of
the West Point class Of 1912. Among his mates
were Vim. =. Rosecrans, Gustayus W. Smith,
Mansfield Lowell, John Pope, Seth Williams, Ab-
ner Doubleday, ID. II. Hill and James Longstreet.
Van was poor scholar, and in class OF fifty six
stood fifty second in the order of merit, though he
always bore u good reputation for bravery. His
disreputable death is perhaps fitting close to a
life never noted for private virtues.-&. Louis Re-
DlIiicnu.

THE NEWS.

A steamer from Port Reyal, reports having heard
heavy firing of Charleston ON the l. Ith inst.
All the iron,clads which participated in the nto
fight Mt Charleston the Kcokuk of course excepted
have bean thoroughly repaired.
Provost Marshals have been directed to proceed
with the draft forthwith, but it IL doubtful
whether any can be made before the middle Of July
Volunteers may bo called for before that time.
VIM, Corbin and T. p. McGrow, two robc spies,
convicted by Court martial at Cincinnati, and son
fenced to be shot, were executed at Johnson's Is
land near Sandusky, on Friday last.
The rebel raid in Western Virginia is over, and
General Kelley has taken such measures as will
eiltc,ually deter the rebels from attacking any i'm
portant point.
Senators Wade and Chandler, lately arrived at
Washington, from Falmouth, report the Army Of
the Potomac in most effective condition and bost
OF spirits and impatient for an immediate advance
on Lees army.
Judge leavtt, of the United States District
Court has refused tn issue writ of hdb,ds corpus
for the benefit OF Nallandigham. That "worthy'
tr ator is therefore left nt the disposal of the mill
tary authorities.
We have the gratifying intOl lgenco of the cap
turc of jackson, the capital of Mississippi by Gen.
cral Grant. The news comes through rebel sour
ces, being a telegram from Mobile, dated tho llth
instant, published in Chattanooga paper. Tho
dispatch states that the rebels fought all day. but
were unable to save the city This gave General
Grant tho command Of Nicksburg, and would scOm
10 reudpr the fall oftho later ouly II question Of
few days time. II the rcbels could not defend
jackson, we do not see how they can hold Vicks
burg, now that their communications have been
cut oil. The news from the southwest is cheering
and this, no doubt, accounts for the gloomy edito
rial in the Richmond Enquirer, which we publish
in another column.
News from New Orleans, is cheering. Alexandria,
the rebel stronghold on the Red river, has been
captured by Admiral Portcr's fleet and strong re-
bel force commanding its detcuso has beon entirely
destroyed Port Hudson was bombarded by our
fleet a tew days since, and ills reported that the
place has been evacuated by the enemy, Colonel
Gncrsons expedition, from which we havehad very
favorable accounts from time to time, has reached
Baton Rouge, after series of most brilliant success
rs. Every railroad in Mississippi was cut by them,
several important bridges destroyed depots burned,
and whole train of cars laden with rebel stores
committed TO She flames. Among the articles on
board were 5000 shells, destined for the Vicks
burg batteries. which exploded with fearful
crash. The amount of damage inflicted by the
raid Is almost incalculable. The men provided
themselves with fresh horses on the march, and
rode safely into Baton Rouge, accompanied by
three hundred negroes ON horseback, most Of whom
also led horses

There can be no question that the rebel G!naral
Stonewall Jackson is really dead, rs the Richmond
papers of Monday state that he died On Sunday, Of
exhaustion from his wounds and pneumonia. lie
Was shot through his right hand, and his left arm
was 80 injured Ns to ronder amputation above the
elbow necessary, He did not long survive the
operation. In daring and the prompt execution OF
movements in battle, jackson had no superior in
the rebel army. That he was not skilled in plan
ming movements, however, appears evident from
the fact that ho was never intrusted with detach-
ment by Jetf. Davis. Previous to the rebellion he
was Professor in the Virginia Military Institute
at Lexington. lie was very rigid Presbyterian,
aud his religious zeal aud fanatcal- devotion to the
cause of Secession gave him great influence. The
ellicial organ Of the rebel leaders, the Richmond
Enquirer doubtless expressed its true scntimonts
when it snid receiving intelligence that jackson
was wounded, that "hs loss would bc i'll replaced
by tho accession of 50 900 veteran troops"

Advices from Puebla via Havana TO April 2lst
have been received.
The French wore rcpulsed on the 18th in an at
tack on Converts of st. Augustine, Carmen and
MERGED. On the l4th battle occurred ut Alexico,
between a part OF Comonforl's forces aud the
French Both parties claim success, but the chief
design Of Comoufort to dislodse the French from
AleXico was not attained
Reports reached Vera Cruz, April goth, that the
French were driven from Fort Sangarier aud the
hill San Juan, to their former position at Amalcan.
Tho French account disagrees with this and re-
ports the capture OF the church of Carmen ON the
18th Numerous bands of guerrillas infested the
road from Vera Cruz to 0riIabs. Several expcdi-
tons which were sent out to annihilate the guer-
rillns had been unsuccessful.
The French in Vera Cruz entertained great fears
that over million dollars, with a large amount
Of ammunition about to leave for Pucbla, would not
arrive safely.
Comonfort had been reinforced by 1000 mon
from the city Of Mexico, and Mexican reports ex-
press the hope that by overwhelming numbers they
will be able TO annihilate the French invaders.
private letter received in Havana states that
since tho first occupation of Fort San Javier, the
French army have net obtained any advantage.
Several attacks have been made upon various
points, but always with i'll success, and sometimes
with defeat. On the 9TH they opened II cannonado
upon Carmen Fort, which lasted 40 hours, when, a
breach was made. Several columns then pro-
cecdcd to make an assault, but were driven back
at the point Of the bayonet leaving the street filled
with thor killed and wounded. Their losses have
been very heavy,
