THE PERILS OF AN EDITOR.
{New York Herald.) A personal rencontre took place at Richmond between Mr James A. Cowardin, «ditor of the Dispatch, and Mr A. Fulkerson, a, member of the House of Delegates, from Washington county. It appears that Mr Cowardin, who, in company with two gentlemen, was walking along Main street, when near the Post Office was accosted by Mr Fulkerson with the remark, "This is Mr Cowardin. I believe," when Mr Cowardin immediately answered, " Yes, sir, and you are the scoundrel Fulkerson; I know you." At this remark, Mr Fulkerson either struck at or drew back to strike Mr Cowardin with a cane, when the latter closed with Mr Fulkerson and seized him by the throat. A short scuffle ensued, when friends interfered and separated them. The difficulty grew out of remarks made by Mr Fulkerson in the House of Delegates some time since in regard to the editorial columns of the Dispatch, to which Mr Cowardin made some severe personal rejoinder. Mr Fulkerson is a young and robust man, and Mr Cowardin is over sixty years of age.
