vILLE.-A correspondent of the Rich. Dis
patch, writing from Charlottesville, under
date of the 10Th inst, says
A murderous assault was made at the
Virginia Midland Junction last night on
Robert Eskew by Charles Drumwright.
The men were employees of the Virginia

friends up to yesterday afternoon, when
both being under the influence of liquor
they quarrelled at the round-house and
fight ensued, in which Eskew succeeded in
knocking Drumwright down and beating
him severely. They afterwards made up
and shook hands and their friends thought
that all unpleasantness was at an end
Drumwright, however, seems to have cher
ishcd some malice, and 80 last night about
7:30 O'Clock while Eskew was walking along
the depot Drumwright walked up behind
him and, throwing his arm around his
neck, struck him several times with large
iron washer over the head, severely cutting
the scalp in several places. Eskew was
carried into barber.shop near by, where
his wounds were dressed by physician.
Drumwright made his escape and is still at
