So 1t CHANGED few days SINCE as the Hon. Mr
Hickman was leaving the House of Repressnfa-

tected Freesoiler, ran up and Seized 8fr Edmund
son, who struggled very violently to iniict further
indignfhes upon the afrighted Timour
According to our Information, Hickmanss hat
had been knocked off, and he had staggered back
with an aspect and attitude of the most abiect
alarm. Mr.. Keitt cried ont in loud voice to Hick
man, PICK up your bat and go away sce cd,st
itod asis man all dayn' and added to Mr. Breck-
inrIdges who was passing at the moment fsTake
him along.a The bewildered Hickman collected
his hat and mechanically obeyed the conservative
counsel, and soon, like one Of the discounted he

has he been since heard from 50 far as we are ad-
wise.
We have taken some pains to procure from an
eyewitness responsible narrative of this afair
because we deem it proper to show the American
people that those who are sowing tile seeds of ir-
reparabie strife between the descendants of com
mon ancestry-those who taunt q brave people
with cowardice-those who threaten confederate
equals with subjugahon by force have not the
courage to protect their own personal honor, nor

The heroic Hickman evidently belongs to the
same class with Greeley, Sumner, Redpath and
others. who, under the fanced security 81 an esi-
toral garret, or seat in Congress, libel all whom
dignity or distance prevent from iniicting personal
punishment upon them.
In this case, the impudent and impotent threats
Of this Bohaail provoked Col Edmundson to infiet

man, or any one for him, feels aggrieved Ut the
public indgnity, or at any of the allegations of this
narrative, they can find Virginians upon whom to
display their prowess without even the trouble Of
crossing the Potomac.
