EDITORIAL PERSONALITIES. The New York
Times thus winds up an article upon the dignity
of journalism;
g Whenever editors raise the standard of mu-
tual respect; whenever they become in fact
what they are in theory-a Profession; when
ever they have common and cmrrent creed of
gentlemanly behavior as editors, no less than as
men, then will the evils complained Of be cured,
and society spared the mereiless infection of
private wrongs upon its notice. Editors ought
to know that the bare fact Of their commanding
the use of the pen daily, does not entitle them
to prosecute the public with editorial quarrels
These are Incidents of their private business,
and ought to be SO treated.

GREAT HAVOC AMONG SHEEP.-For some time

into the underbush and covered with leaves, the
blood of each having been sucked out through a
single wound in the neck. The farmers are now
obliged to watch their fooks, or keep them
within their enclosures, It is believed the au-
thor Of this havoc has at last been discovered,

THE DEMOCRATIC Split IN New YORK. The
New York Day Book gives the following account
of the Democratic split in the State of New
York:
The old Democratic party is split in two in
the middle, and then each half in two again, so
that they are likes quartered apple, The hard
shells are divided on the Nebraska bill, but
united on Bronson. The soft shells are divided
on Nebraska, but united on the Administration.
SO that we do not see how it is possible for any
two quarters to come together. The whole can
be united quite as easily as the quarters, and
as whole loaf is better than half one, there
is q chance that union of the Assembly men
and State Senators may take place, and Bron-
son and the Administration left to fight out their
Quarrel alone -

Aid far Savannah.
One year AFRO i frightful epidemic ragged in
this city, carrying death and sorrow into the
bosom II almost every family, striking down the
native born and acclimated as well as the
stranger, and filling our hospitals and grave
yards with victims from every class of society
Ind from every age and condition Of life. New
Orleans was reduced to a deplorable depth Of
wretchedness Her dwellings were marked with
the symbols Of nourning, her streets bore silent
witness night and day to the desolation which
reigned every where; business deserted her
rnarts, and the chief employment Of those who
ESCAPED the pestilence or survived its deadly
grasp was in attending the sick and dying and
burning the dead. In the midstiof these hor-
rors New Orleans made no frantic appeals to
her sister cities for aid no appeal was needed,
From almost every quarter Of the United States
contributions came pouring into the hands OF
ar organized committees and our charitable
soc;eties and institutions, and the distresses of
the INDECENT sick, thousands Of whom were per-
;shing ia helpless disease and poverty, were
tins relieved to an extent not to be estimated
The people of New Orleans have not forgotten
II, one short year the terrible scenes to which
We have alluded !; and it would be libel upon
their character to say that they had forgotten,
or we're ungrateful for, the kind aid 50 Literally
extended to them in that dreadful extremity
They have now an opportunity Of exhibiting
their sense of the noble efforts once made In
their behalf, and Of discharging 20 some extent
the obligations entailed upon them by acts Of
humanity and charity.
The city of Savannah is at the present in
almost ii not quite as deplcrable condition AZ
was New Orleans one year ago. Her popula
ton is perishing by hundreds before that dc.
stroying scourge, the yellow fever I; many Of her
most respectable citizens have been stricken
down, hundreds are fleeing in terror from the
place, and yet the bills of mortality go up daily
at d frightful rate IN this extremity she i'm
plores for aid, and surely in no city should the
appeal meet with more ready response than in
New Orleans The Howard Association has
already taken the first step towards meeting
the case In proper manner, and We earnestly
hope and confidently expect that our citizens
[inasmuch as the Common Council is not at
present in SESSION. will take immediate and ac-
tive measures to prove their substantial sym
pathy with the suffering people of Savannah.
