Cincinnati daily press. [volume] (Cincinnati [Ohio]) 1860-1862, 1861-06-01

Editors in New York have an advantage
ove their brethren in smaller cities, from
the greater demand for all sorts of literary
work that always exists. There is scarcely
a leading editor or writer whose produce
tons are confined to the journal with which
he Is partieularly connected. Bryant, " in
stance, Of the Post is a frequent contributor
TO the Ledger. So are Willis and Morris.
Dana, from 0 to 10 in the morning, is at
Appleton's, working away at the Encyclops.
6iG; at noon be goes to the Tribune, remains
until q, arranges the correspondence, &c.
At 9 P. NJ. he is back again, and remains
until IL, supervising everything that goes
into the paper, giving directions for editorials,
&c. Ripley, the literary man ofthe Tribune
is associated with Dana in the Eacyclopedia,
and does reviewing for magazines.
Hurlburt, late Of the Times, the most
brilliant man at editorials in town, is now
New York correspondent of the London
Times, and does the Hamilton theatrical
matters for the Albion. Lately he has made
a lot of money in stocks, and don't care much
about doing leaders. Wilkins, or the Herald
[He ig now dead.-Ep,],, apparently blase to
every thing, is one Of the most Industrious
and painstaking of scribblers. Besides writ
ing a daily leader, and the dramatics and
operates, he contributes a feuilleton to the
Weekly Leader, sends q weekly letter to
the London Morning Chronicle, ditto to the
New Orleans CreStnt, and usually has some
thing on hand in the shape of a comedy or
farce. His Henrietta" was played between
forty and fifty nights consecutively at Wal
lacks, which was a particularly cheerful
thing, as it gave the author fifteen dollars
for each performance. John Bonner, COM
mercial and financial editor of the Herald,
and a strong writer on subjects connected
with trade, devotes half of each day to edit
ing Harper's Weekly. Goodwin, ofthe Post,
when not at the Office, fires away OF his
History of France. Charles Hallock, Of the
JtHrndl Of Commerce, contrib utes many of
the cleverest articles in HdTper's Magazine.
Leland, besides editing, Vanity Far, is a
regular contributor to the ,Knicker6ocker,
Frank Leslie, the Times, and ever so many
other papers. Halpine, whe has Just run
down to Washington to do a bit Of war with
the sixty second, gives his day lights to the
Leader, and from nine 70 twelve at night is
one of the editorial staff of the Times.
Nordhof, who has taken Bigelow's place on
the Post, gives half his time to the Harper's.
Nc MILAN, a very clever man on the
Express, does letters to papers elsewhere.
Richard Grant White, of the World, is one
of the regular reviewers on the Atlantic
Monthly. Stedman, who edits the evening
edition of the World, writes poetry and prose
for all sorts of magazines. ~
Adam Badeau, one of the principal literary
men ofthe Express, is a well paid contributor
T. the weekli0s and nonthlies. Tom Thorp
THE Bee Hunter" when absent from his
desk at the custom-house, writes and
illustrates papers for the Harpers. R. II.
Stoddard, the poet, also q house
clerk, does considerable outside literary
work. These are a few fthe many clever
men on the New York press, whose brains
are, as the market reporters say, in steady
demand at fair prices. Indeed, there il
scarcely an author in town who is not more
or less employed on the daily and weekly
press, and the same may be said Of the
clergy. Ward Beecher is a weekly con-
tribuior to the Ledger. DR.. Bellows, DR..
Prime, DR. Osgood, DR.. Stevens, DIR. Hawks,
MilbuIn, and Others, are recipients Of liberal
sums for articles furnished the dAilies,
weeklies, and monthlies.
