HOOKER AND HALLECK THEIR RELA- i TIONS-WHAT IS IN THE-FUTURE. i The New York Times, in an editorial com menting on the situation and the army of. the' iPotooiac, says : F I .It has been rumored, for a few days, both that General HaUeck is about to take the field in pr iotx and that he baa been paying visits to the cimp md overruling certain plans of ilooker's, and tieverthole3i we are asaurpd he bus nut the least, intention of. superseding Hooker. He mrely to supplement bim. As, if this be true, it is a matter which seriously aft'octs tho fuUire of tbe iriny of the Potomac, and, perhaps, tho result ol the war itself, wo think the public cannot prote too earnestly against, anything which promises to inflict upon the inot important portion of our 'whole force the evils tt divil -d comniand. The Army of tho Potoumc is probably already one of the not unfortunate armies tluitevcr twk the fi'-'d, not thnuh any fault of its ovtu, but though tho misfortunes of those who have had charge of it. It wa? organized by a man who would not fierht, and it then, fell into the hands of a man who was willing to tiht, but did notktum Jhow ; and it may be that it is now under the jleadership of a man who is as unfittel for bis po sition, as either of the other two. Hut there can !be no greater mistake than to suppose that two jGeneraU, let them both be ever' so good, are an iirnprovement upjn one, et him be ever s bad. Secrecy, enerey, decision and rapidity, both of jconcepti'-n and execution, are so essential to mili jtary success, that every organization which fails jto Becure them, is worse than useless, let its other (virtues be what they may; and uo organization jean possibly secure them which has two heads. ! If this wore a matter of strategy or of taqtic?, we j might be disposed to let it pass in silende. But i no knowledge of either strategy or tactics ia nes- j sary to enable one to form one's judgment about -pit. A very ordinary snare ot knowledge oi .nu- tnan nature ; and a very slight knowelSt; of his tory, is all that is wanted to enable anybody who chooses to think about it, to pronounce with cer tainty that whether General Hooker he either ablo or incompetent, if General llalieck goes down to advise him, with the power Of overruling him, th result of the coming campaign in Virginia will be disastrous-, and only disastrous. THE LATE GEN. VAN DORNi-A CARD FROM HIS STAFF. -'. Mobile, May 15, 1363. We, the undersigned, members of the late Gen. Van Dorn s.staff, having seen with pain and re gret the various rumors afloat in the public prees, in relation to the circumstances attending that ot fleer's death, deem it our duty to,. make a plain ! statement of the facts in the case. Geni Van Dorn wa3 shot in his own room, at Spring Hill, Tennessee, by Dr. Peters, a citizen of the neighborhood. He was shot in the back of the head, while engaged in writing at his table, and entirely unconscious of any meditated hostili ty on the part of Dr. Peters, who had been left in the room with him apparently in friendly conver sation, scarce 15 minutes previously, by Maj. Kim mel. Neither (Jen. Van Dorn nor ourselves wore suspicious in the slightest degree of enmity in th mind of Dr. Peters, or we would certainly not hnve left them alone together,-nor would General Van Dorn have been shot, as we lound him Ave min utes later silting in his chair, with his back to wards his enemy. There had been friendly visits between them up to the very date of the unfortunate occur rence. Gen. Van Dorn had never seen the daughter of his murderer but once; while;his acquaintance witji Mrs. Peters wa-such as to convince us, his statf ofceers, who had over' opportunity of know ing, that there was no improper intimacy be tweeri them; and for our own part we are led to believe that there, were other and darker motives, from the fact that Dr. Peters had taken the oath of, allegiance to the United States Government, while in Nashville, about two weeks previously as we are informed by refugees from that city that be had remarked in Columbia a short time before, "that ha bad-lost hi"3 land and negroes in Arkansas, but he thought he would shortly do something which would. get them back ; " and fi -,ually, that having beforehand torn down fences and prepared relays of horses, he made his e.-cape across the country direct to the enemy's lin-i-s . Such is the simple history of the affair, and we trust that in bare justice to the mem.iry of a gal lant soldier, the papers that have given publicity: to the false rumors alluded torumors alike inju rious to the living and to the dead will give place in their columns to this vindication, of his name. 4 M.
