We have already published an account ct
the late difficulty between Mr. Bolts and Mr..
Hawxhurst, in Richmond They have both
furnished statements of the affair Tor publica-
ton Mr.. B., in his statement, says he refused
to give his hand to H. when the latter offered
it, and explained why he did so, detailing the
occurrences at the late Radical Convention, and
concluding with "Mr. Hawxhurst, your con-
duet has been such as not only to disgust every
decent and respectable white man, but there
wasn't respectable colored man in the crowd
that would not have felt ashamed to have
been guilty Of your conduct, and there
fore I-don't care to hold any intercourse with
you" Mr.. Hawxhurst, in his statement, says,
Il arose as Mr. B. was approaching and extern
ded my hand He said, No! Hawxhurst, I
will not take your hand, nor will any gentle
man, and will tell you the reason. You so
packed and arranged the African Church on
the day of the Convention, that no respectable
people could get in you induced DR.. Bayne,
Of Norfolk, to offer and push an adjourn
ment of the Convention My answer was,
Both of those statements are false; and
then he went on explaining what he had done,
and attempting to exonerate himself from the
charges made by MIR. B.

The New York World, Of yesterday, says :
THE cholera seems to have obtained a foot
hold 10 this city, but fortunately, as yet the
cases are few and far between. There are,
however quite u number Of deaths from dar-
rhael disorders, and people cannot be too care
full how they indulge in new potatoes and
the unripe fruit" The same advice ought
to be given in all the cities Alexandria has
been, and continues to be, very healthy, but
every precaution in diet, and in the use
Of disnfectants, and cleaning and keeping
clean, the cutters, alleys, streets, yards, &c,
should be continued.
