A Neysy Correspondent.

After Mr.. Love killed Colonel
Middleton, at West Point, he sent
the following dispatch to the Gin
cinnati Enquirer:
Mr.. Cockerill: l send you hur-
riedly the facts in the late unfor-
tunate affair in which killed COL
onel Lewis A. Middleton. Hope it
viii prove an item for you. ! get
the Enquirer regularly now.
Yours truly, d. l.. LOVE.
This dispatch brought forth the
following editorial comments from
the Enquirer:
1t is our aim to secure enterpris-
ing correspondents. Perseverance
is also a desirable quality in a gath
erer of news. We have found a
jewel in Mr.. Love, who is manu-
featuring items in West Point.
Mississippi. He appreciates the
value OF news, and understands
that II 1t isn't at hand 1t must be
made. We prlnt this morning
piece Of correspondence from this
gentleman which convinces us that
he has the germs Of genius in him.
He had written us two or three
letters, which were not moved into
our columns, owing to their lack OF
spiciness and freshness and literary
tone. But he Is persevering fel-
low. He was not discouraged by
our failure to recognize his talent.
He was determined to write some-
thing that could be printed in the
columns of the Enquirer. So he
killed an editor, sends us an ac-
count of it, and plaintively and
pleadlngly adds in a pos'script:
81 hope this will prove an item for
you"
After Frank Walworth, the Sar-
atoga youth, had invited his father
around to a New York hotel to be
shot, and had killed him, and had
sent the dispatch to q relative, ~
shot father this morning." 1t was
believed that the climax Of epi-
grammatic GOODNESS In that profes.
sion had been reached. But when
Mr.. Love, the editor of the West
Point Citizen, kills Colonel Middle
ton, editor of the Times, In the
50 ne place, and straightway sends
to the Enquirer an accurate ne
count Of the affair with the hope
that 1t will prove tan item," ard
with the consolatory assurance
that he receives the Enquirer reg
ularly, Frank Walworth must go
to tho foot. We desire to advise
our editorial brethren that we have
engaged Mr.. Love rs travelling
correspondent. We are determin-
ed to have some news. The ranks
Of the profession may be thinned
out, but there Is so much COMPETE
ton thnt'we must be enterprlsing.

The Escaped (lenyictS.

The twenty-thrcc convicts who
made their escape from Richard
sons two plantations last week,
are creating a good deal of unea-
siness in the Eggs Point ncighbor-
hood, where they have been prowl-
ing sincc their escape. A few
days ago they attacked the camp
of trapper on Swan lake, taking
three or four guns, his boat and
other property from him. They
also robbed Richardson's store,
and their cast-oif garments arc
hanging at several quarters where
they have stolen other clothing.
The community is justly indig-
nant at the loose discipline which
enabled so many convicts to cs-
cape, and solicitous also, rs many
Of them were hardened villains,
under sentence to long terms Of
imprisonment, who would commit
murder as coolly as they woald
rob o chicken roost.
