, NEW YORK EDITORS.
 Tho Chicago Republican contains the fellow ;,g sketches of several of the leading editors of New York:
 The largest of New York editors, in point of .;ze is James Gordon Bonnet, while the small est is Henry.J Raym ond. Both-of these men have been bold editors, and yet quite strange ,r the latter has never met the touch of per sonal violence, while the former has been pun ;sbed often and severely. MT Raymond exhib its marvellous contrast between muscle and intellect. His industry for quarter of a cen tvrv mast has been incredible. and he has the ,enutation of being the hardest worker in New York. In this way he has built up his paper, the Times. -1 Y e s- z@
 Erastus Brooks of the Express is of tall, nervous frame, indicating no ordinary degree of power, and yet, with all his ability, he has failed to build up a leading paper.
 As for Horace Greeley, almost everybody knows how he looks, and we need only add that he dresses much better than ia former days. and the famous white coat shas retir- ed from service. We believe the eccentrcl- ties of this peculiar man are entirely unaffec ted, and are the idiosycracies of his nature. MT Greeley has changed but little in twenty years, and wears remarkably well, considering the great amount of work he turns off daily. When we first saw MT Greeley, he was tall slender youth, with peculiar freshness Of countenance and a beautiful simplicity play inc over his features. This was in 1859, when ne was struggling for foothold in the great metropolis has since become stouter' ana while he shows the marks oftime he has not nut off the marks of his early character.
 His chief opponent Thurlow Weed is six feet high and well proportioned, albeit we do not admire his style of continuance, We are glad that these two gentlemen are now united in hearty support of the party to which they belong.
 We have thus referred to the veterans of the daily press and may remark that during twen- ty years or more they have stood at their posts of daily toll with uniform industry, and in each individual case, have gained in weight since the commencement. Not one has died during the term mentioned.
 Among the editorial corps of New York the public interest singles out one as an object of chief curiosity. This is Bennett. There is perhaps an excuse to be found for this, in the fact that no public man has said so much about himself as he. He has even advertised his own personal ugliness, and that, too, in a most indelicate manner. We mights quote from his own columns such references ad nau scum, bat we forbear. MT Bennett is seldom seen and while other editors are open to tho public, his method for years has been seolu- sion. We believe this habit grew out of a sense of danger, arising from the bitterness of his personal attacks, and the frequent re taliatlon which followed. MT Bennett is un- derstsod to make no claim on public sympa thy; he has warred upon society and expects to receive whatever may come. If wealth be the great end in life he has succeeded, sine, his establishment is calculated at two millions but VIC doubt if this affords the expected sat isfaction. In early days MT Bennett was tall slender and exceedingly awkward. He ha since become very stout, and is the largest stoutest and richest of the New York editors He is deseended from an old Scotch Romal Catholic family, was educatedfor the priest hood, and though lifelong scotter of relie ious things, still clings to his early faith.
 Of the religious preferences o. the other ed torial gentlemen referred to, we may add tha MT Greeley is Universalist, and MT Ray mond Presbyterian.
 Of the religious press, MT Prime of the Ol ssrvsr, is large, we'll built man, with quie and unobtrusive manners This correspond with the character of the sheet he issues which is pleasant, readable, and useful p' per. '.y @
 Theodore Tilton of the Independent, is one the youngest of the fraternity, and may e: pect something of . compliment as to, persons appearance. The Independent, although ranl ing among religious journals, is highly liter ry in it's character, and boasts ia it's editor poet of no ordinary ability.
 Bryant of the Euening Post is, as ell kno, the patriarch of the press; he is venerable appearance, august yet cheerful in name and bears the stamp of nature's greatnes His associate and son in law, Parke Goodwin is about twenty-five years his junior, aad is good specimen of humanity.
