Quitting Array at Coyington.

An unfortunate difficulty occurred
at COvingtOn yesterday between DR..
Bell and Mr.. 81. L~anderdale, a lawyer.
both well known and respected citi-
zens Of that place. Both of them, it
seems, are Tilden men. DR.. Bell
remarked that he believed the
Courier journal was the only daily
paper in the south that SUP.
ported Tilden, and alluded to a report
that Tilden owned stock in the paper.
Lauderdale referred then to the MS
wer of the Courier. Journal to this.
That it was a lie and that any one
who repeated it, was a liar. DR.. Bell
became excited and demanded to
know whether the remark applied to
him. Lauderdale answered him that
it did not and that he had only re-
peated what a newspaper said. The
Doctor, however, rushed at him iuri-
ously with a knife and succeeded in
inficting three severe cuts in the back
Of the neck, one in his left arm, sew
ering an artery, and another in his
left side near the heart. The cut in
his arm is the most serious. During
the ARRAY, and even after the cutting,
Lauderdale got in some very heavy
blows with his fist, knocking Bell
down two or three times. He did
not know he was cut until it was all
over. He is severely injured, but
hopes are entertained of his recovery.
Bell left town Immediately, but it is
reported that he is very penitent on
account Of the rash deed. We under
stand that both men are married and
were on good terms with each other
before this difficulty. Lauderdale is
a leading member of the bar. This is
the first blood for Tilden this ca
sOn.

BERLIN, Feb. 24.-The North
German Gazette, in leading arti-
Gle, commenting on the proposed
erection by Russia of extensive
fortifcations at the frontier post, of
Roano, Bailystock and Grodno,
says; "The purpose, probably, is
to impress her people with the bes
lief that there is danger of an at
tack from Germany, and thus stir
up popular excitement hostile to the
latter power. IF it be true
that the Russian designs against
Germany, of which General Nailiou-
tine, Russian minister of war, is said
to be the chief promoter, are only
postponed until France isready; then
these Notifications against peace,
full neighbor may be regarded as a
preparation for future aggressive
war. Neither France nor Russia
has ever been attacked by Germany,
and the colossal armament of these
two states, which by compulsion
weigh upon the rest of Europe, can,
therefore, only be based upon an
aggressive policy"
