A NEWSPAPER EDIIoR.-A newspaper editor must.
like the poet, be born to his calling, as, in the ma
iority Of instances, no amount of training will fit a
person for such a post, unless he have a natural taste
and aptitude for that description Of literary labor;
for, although many persons are able to write " lead
ers,'' or &c literary articles" for . newspaper, few
can be entrusted with its editorial control, few can
scent out the libel which turks in almost every com
munication, few can distinguish the report intended
to please the speaker instead Of informing the nation,
and the letters written to serve private interests in
stead Of public ends; still fewer who can tell ut =
glance the kind Of literary or political material which
will promote the circulation Of the journal-in fact.
. good editors great difficulty Is not ms to what he
oolumna Successful editors have MT been great au-
L}hors. but men Of good common seu9e. and their good
eonn,oo sense has taught them t&f write but little

error, in our reply to The Fan Buren Press,
relative to the time the Railroad company
have for disposing of the lands for the first
20 miles of continuous railroad. We stat
ed what our understanding Of the act Of
Congress making the grant meant accord
ing to our reading of the law, which we
have not seen for many months. A friend
pointed out our error, and at the same time
cited us to the opinion given by Gen. Hemp

we had forgotten, and of course our opin-
ion is wrong, and we acknowledge the error

DEATH OF Hon. RurUs CHoArE.-The
following notice of the death of Mr.. Chcate,
we copy from the Memphis daily Appeal
He was on his way to Europe to re-
cult his constitution. He was, by common
cnnse.., the leading al. oea.s and LAWYER Of
New England. He was born October 1:
1779, and was consequently few months
over sixty years old. He was a graduate
of Dartmouth College and of the Harvard
Law School. He studied law for one year
in the Office of VIM. Writ, in Washington
City. He was in the House of Represents
tives of Congess in 1882, and in the Sem
ate from 1S41 to lS45, as the successor of
Mr. Webster, who went into the Cabinet.
His speeches were always able and attrac-
tive. He wa one of the most fascinating
orators in the Union. His distaste for pol,
tiles caused han to quit public life and re-
sumo the practice OF law, where he met
with unprecedented success. He was a
Whig, and void for Buchanan in '56. and
was the authoipf the patriotic sentiment
/" l vote for no barty that does not carry the
flag and keep sep to the music OF the I'm
ion." He was .ruly great and good man
and his death will be universally regretted
