"The editor Of the Baltimore Clipper says 10


his paper Of last Monday. under the head Of
"Conect Information" !" that some editors are
constantly boasling OF their extensive cores
pondence and correct information; and vet
these boasters give currency to more false
statements than those who bray less land the
worst Of it is. they make their readers pay for
such statements by publishing them in extra
sheets, as something truly wonderful" How
we have nothing to say for the publishers Of
the extras and their vain boasting; bu. we
take leave to remind the Clipper that Correct
Information 2 especially Of matters and things
! which occur in this city. is not striking fea-
ture Of the Baltimore Clipper. or its Washing
ton correspondent. For instance, the Clipper
Of to day announces that Mr. Samuel Burche.
q valuable and highly respected citizen Of
Washington. died on Saturday last, which is
only three days before the actual death Of that
gentleman, which took place ON Tuesday light

The Washington correspondent Of the Clip
per, whose letter dated Sept. 20, published
last Monday says, the Temperance paper Of
this morning isassharp as ginger beer on Wash
ingion letter writers. The grievance seems to
be that papers printed abroad furnish the city

doubt this is sometimes, but not frequently, the
case, for we will not pretend to deny that
letter writer may, now and then, pick up an
item Of local news sooner than city reporter.
But we presume to say, thai if our city repor-
ters were as careless and reckless about accura-
3 cy as some Of the Washington letter writers
for the Sun and Clipper, who in their eager
ness to give the earliest news, kill Of respectable
ci'izens before their time, the former might
frequently go ahead Of the latter


~ In parting from the Clipper we would also
remind him that, his Washington correspon-
dent in the letter above alluded TO published
on Monday the 28lh insl., has copied from the
Saturday Evening News of the 26th inst, and
that without ,he usual acknowledgement, an
item Of local intelligence in relation to the COM
mitment Of Joseph de la Fontaine. The para
graph is copied verbatim ct liieratm, from the
News, as any one may readily perceive, who
compares the two papers Yet the paragraph
SO copied, purports to be part and parcel Of an
original letter, from the Washington corresponf
dent Of the Baltimore. Clipper! !! What nerr9
