A good paper to edit.

--If anybody wants to edit the Vicksburg Sentinel, he will be edified by the following brief history of some of the men who have figured in that position: Dr. James Hagan took hold in 1837, had a number of street fights, fought a duel with his brother editor of the Whig, and was killed in 1842, in a street fight, by D. W. Adams. His assistant, Isaac C. Partridge, died of the yellow fever in 1830. Dr. J. S. Fall, another, assistant, had a number of street fights, in one of which he was badly wounded. Jas. Ryan, next editor, was killed by R. E. Hammett, of the Whig. Next came Walter Hickey, who had several rows, and was repeatedly wounded; he killed Dr. Maclin, and was soon after himself killed in Texas. John Lavins, another editor, was imprisoned for the violence of his articles. Mr. Jenkins, his successor, was killed in the street by H. A. Crabbe; and Crabbe was murdered in Sonora. F. O. Jones succeeded Jenkins, but soon afterward drowned himself.
