Editorial Convention.

Several of our State exchanges
have recently revived the PROPOSE
ton for q convention of Editors
and Proprietors of the newspapers
of Texas. The HERALD has, in
in years past, and at various times,
proposed the same thing, and we
are still of the opinion that such a
convention, properly conducted,
would materially advance the in
terests of the Press, as well as the
people generally. Our ncighbor
of the News, proposes Austin as
the place, and the 1stof May as the
time for the meeting, while the
Marshal Bulletin suggests Hous-
ton or Galveston, and the LIST OF
June. The Galveston News does
not attach so much importance TO
the proposed convention as some
do, but admits that there are GER
tain rules which it would probably
be well for all newspapers to adopt,
and which cannot well be carried
out by any without an agreement
between them ALL" We respond
that we are in favor of the move,
and would suggest that the conven-
ton meet at Galveston or Houston,
some time during the week Of the
State Fair, which commences Mon
lay, May IL. There would be more
certainty Of a full attendance at
that time. What say our cotemPo-
raries2 On this subject the Mar
shall Bnllctrn has the following well

A numerous circle of frien s in this city
and throughout the South will deplore the
death ANNOUNCED on Tuesday last Of Gen.
Edward johnson, which event occurred on
the 3d day OF March, ia the city Of Rich
mond, Virginia. Gen. johnson was a
gallant and distinguished officer of the
old army of the United States. A native
of Chesterfield county, Virginia, he en-.
tered the army on reaching manhood, and
served with great honor in the Florida and
Mexican wars. In the latter contest
was badly wounded and breveted for GAL
ant services After the war he was pro-
NOTED to the Majority in the old 9th In
fantry, and commanded that regiment in
Gen. Albert Sidney Jchnston's expedition
TO Utah. When our civil war broke out,
Major Edward johnson joined the cause
aud army of the South, aud quickly rose
to Major Generalship, in which capacity
he won q brilliant victory over Milroy,
and large Federal force at Alleghancy,
in West Virginia. He was afterwards
attached to the army Of Gen. Lee, and al
the head Of his division performed bril-
liant and efficient services in the trying
scenes of the protracted war in Eastern
Virginia. There was no more faithful and
reliable division commander in the whole
army Of Gen. Lee than Edward johnson
no; one who emerged from that terrible
conflict with q none spotless reputation Al
q soldier, patriot and gentleman.
But even the military virtues Of THU
gallant gentleman pale before his more
shining qualities as friend, citizen, =
patriot and honest man. In all cirles In
which he moved he was beloved and rev.
cred. With the blunt and stra ightforward
manners of the soldier, he blended the
genileness, sensitiveness and amiability
of the tender devoted friend.
To know him was TO love him TO hear
and see him was 10 be impressed with a
