The LATE JOHN v. VAN PELT.

The announcement of the death of JOHN V
VAN PETIT, Z 81, late OF New Orleans, will bt
received by all who knew him with profound
sorrow. H. died at Alexandria on Saturday,
December 4.h, in the thirty-seventh year Of
his age Just bstore his death he was en-
gagged professionally as experimenting en-
gineer on the railway now in process OF con-
struction from Alexandria, via Natchitoches.
to Marshall, Texas. Van Pelt was native
of New Jersey, a descendant of one OF the dis
tinguished early settlers OF New York. lie
was connected with wide circle OF intelil-
gent and substantial citizens of New York
and the neighborng portions of New Jersey.
He was educated at Princeton College, and in
the class of 1852, numbering ninety-seven,
his rank was within two of the first, although
he was the youngest member of the class.
As q colegian he was particularly d!stih-
euished for his attainments in mathematics.
He was much esteemed by his professors, and
much loved and admired by his classmates.
He came to Louisiana more than twenty years
ago, and was employed by his kinsman, the
Hon. Lafayette Caldwell. then in charge Of
the public lands of this State.
He was an accomplished surveyor and civil
engineer and soon won the confidence
of all who had business to transact in
relation to the purchase and sale of State
lands.
The war interrupted Van Pelt's studies and
service. He enlisted as a private, served as
such as long as his health would permit, and
was then transferred to a department where
his capacity as methodical man Of business
enabled him to be very useful to the cause
which enlisted his devoted adhesion and sup
port.
Since the close of the war he has pursued
his vocation of civil engineer industriously
and successfully --sometimes in the service Of
planters, sometimes employed by the State,
and fora considerable period in the service of
the Louisiana Lsvee Company-always CIV
ing full satisfaction and everywhere winning
golden opinions by his intelligence, his in
tegrity, his genial manners and his honorable
department
Van Pelt was thoroughly an honest and
correct man. He knew and followed no
other than the strict rule. His life was gov
erned by the rules Of thorough morality. He
never forgot that he was gentleman. he
never knew that truth could bear straining or
warping. He never wanted anything not
strictly right. He dealt with facts by mathe-
NAUTICAL rules, nor did he ever suffer hope,
fear, interest, bias, affection or imagination to
change or color any statement under any cir
cumstances Louisiana has many good and
true men left, but none truer or better. Men
like Van Pelt are the salt of the earth.
He was married several years ago to one of
the talented, amiable and accomplished
daughters OF the late Capt. Fields, Of st.
Mary, whom he leaves widow with one sur
viving child.

The Republican publishes column OF edi-
torial to prove that certain Democrats who sup
ported the war measures of Lincoln's admins
tration are hypocrites, whilst certain Repub-
licans who were once State Rights men and
Democrats are very sincere and honest
persons. We have tried to understand the
process by which the Republicans arrives at
this conclusion, but we are bound to admit
that we have been entirely unsuccessful But
we have no disposition to dispute the Republi-
cans right to hold and support any opinion,
however unreasonable and illogical-even the
opinion that it is disgraceful to man to have
once voted for Republican men and Republi-
can measures. It would, no doubt, be very
pleasing to the Republican to be able to call
Senator English "Copperhead," and to dis
credit him as q sympathzer with the South
during the war; Failing in this, it seems to
find equal Joy in assailing him because he
was lust the reverse Of these things
For our part, we are satisfied with Senator
English as we find him, without regard to his
course in relation to events which are passed
and issues which no longer exist If it will
crafty the Republican that we should quote q
paragraph from the New York Tribune, which
has not yet appeared in the BULLETIN, we are
quite willing to do SO. Here is the quotation:
Since then we are aware that he Senator Eng.
lishl has on several occasions, when he has been
candidate for Governor, cons snted to, and per-
hans advised some things in the way of political
management, which were very far from being
conducive to the publication OF politics.
That may be the 1ribunes opinion; but it is
not ours. 1t is vague and indefinite charge
which Senator English and his friends can
we'll afford to ignore until it is accompanied
bv specific accusations, and at least some
kind of evidence.

residing along the Blue Mountains, is
said to be eiTectual. Some will not
employ the remedy because they think
it too simple ;others have no faith i'll 1t,
while others often think such wound
