Editors in a Row.

We learn from the Hannibal Journal that a
personal collision recently occurred between the
Editors of the Whig and Herald, published at
Quincy, Ill. The circumstances thus detail
ed by the Journal:
''Brooks (editor of the Herald) was passing
in front of the Quincy House, when Morton, who
was sitting in chair, got up and struck him in
the face, knocking off his hat. Brooks then drew
n revolver, and fired at Morton, the ball striking
the shoulder blade. and glancing off without do
ing any injury The latter, who was unarmed,
then drew a chair at his antagonist, when Brooks
attempted to fire the second time, but his pistol
missed fire.
"a large crowd gathered around, and determi-
nation Was expressed to hang Brooks if he did
not leave in twenty -four hours. The excitement
however. subsidized. The cause of the affray
commenced with publication by the editor of
the Whig in reference TO brooks management of
the Post Office The latter retaliated by pub-
fishing Morton as ''iar, fsscoundrel,' and
''puppy."
