A correspondent of a vestern jour mi I, writing from New York, givei Mime intending facta concerning ih leading editors of that cily: hid nther a (lingular fact that m ninny ol tho editors ot New York are living in a Btato ut bachelnidum. Bennett, the inimcn:-ely rich editor and proprietor of the New York lit raid, is a solitary bachelor, though ho will soon be forty.

Ot the editors named, Bennett is the wealthiest and most athletic; Ui-id is the ablest and most skillful; Marble is the handsomest and calmest; calm-est; and Hurl but is the most thoroughly thor-oughly polishid man of the world.

Such unions might be expected to provide very brainy successors to the present o 'itors, iu the natural order. |
