AFFAIRS IN VIRGINIA.
A Richmond Editor Attacke ed.

RICHMOND, VA, March ia personal
rencOunter took place this morning between
Mr.. James A. CowardiD, editor of the Dis
patch, and Mr.. y. FulkersOn, member of the
House of Delegates from Washington county.
1t appears that Mr. Covardin, who in COM
pany with two gentlemen, was walking along
Main street near the post-office, was accosted
by Mr.. Fulkerson with the remark, '.ThiS is
Mr.. CowarClin, believer" when Mr.. G. inn
mediately answered, Yes, sir, and You are
the scoundrel Fulkersol; know YOU" At
this remark Mr.. Fulkerson either struck at
or drew back to strike Mr.. c. with a cane.
when the latter closed with Fulkerson and
seized him by the throat. A short scuffle en-
sued, when friends interlered and separated
them. The difficulty originated in remarks
made Mr.. Fulkerson in the House of Dele
gates some time since in regard to the edito-
rial columns of the Dispatch, to which Mr..
Cowardin made some severe personal re-
joinder. Much contempt was expressed at
Mr. FulkersOn's conduct, as he is a young
and robust man and Mr.. Cowardin is over
sixty years of age and was entirely UMPIRE
pared either with cane or other weapon for
the assault.
