Gen. Floyd and the Enquirer.

--We published on yesterday the letter of Gen. Floyd to the Editors of the Enquirer, in relation to alleged libels made upon him by correspondents of that journal. We subjoin the reply of the editors, published is the Enquirer, of yesterday, with their comments appended:

Enquirer Office, Oct. 10, 1861.
John B. Floyd, Esq; Sir:

--Your letter of October 6th, 1861, is before us. Not recognizing any authority in yourself, either individually or as commander of the Army of Kanawha, to demand the names of our correspondents, we decline to comply with your request.

Tyler, Wise & Alleger.

We declined to furnish the names of our correspondents to Gen. Floyd, because of his purpose to seek his vindication through a court-martial, instead of the usual mode among gentlemen. Whenever Gen. Floyd proposes a personal vindication, the names of our correspondents shall be furnished.
We shall dismiss this letter with the statement that the characters of our correspondents have never been stained by the suspicion of a crime, and that a charge of falsehood against them is much easier made than proved. They are gentlemen the equals of Gen. Floyd in every respect, and what they have averred in their communications we believe to be true in letter and spirit.
