Promotion.

--We are gratified to learn that Brig Gen. Earl Van-Dorn, who recently so signally distinguished himself by the capture of United States troops in Texas, has been promoted to the rank of Major General in the Confederate States army. There is no officer more deserving of the honor. In former days, when in another service, he rendered most efficient aid to his Government; and his career since the South has thrown off her allegiance to that Government has been full of promise. Gen. Van-Dorn arrived in Richmond on Sunday, and is, we regret to say, quite sick at the Exchange Hotel, though his friends anticipate his speedy recovery.
