The Barbour Jef,r soniaR. Of the 9TH instant
publishes statement. 10 some particulars differ
ing from that of Chidester. II notices the fact o.
his arrest. by virtue Of a warrant Issued by Gov
Wire, and says that Chidester's version Of the at
fair substantially conceded by the Ohio sheriff who
arrested him, was, that when residing In one o
chs counties OF Kentucky, bordering on The Ohio
river, negro man slave escaped into Ohio, and
ChIdester having reason to believe that he val
lurking ia the vicinity OF HIS (Chchester's) mo
tber's, who formerly lived I'm Harrison county

vas IN the act of carrying him back to Kentucky
when hos. of AbolItionists rose In arms, rescued
the negro, aud Chidester seeing his life in danger
mousted horse, furnished by friend who cauTh
IL up under the excitement Of the moment, upoI
which he fed into Kentucky, turning the horse
loose upon the bank Of the Ohio river. He wal
afterwards indicted by the grand jury of Cham
pagn county upon which requisition was ma d.
aud granted.
The Enquire, commenting upon the case, while
It cannot advocate horse stealing in Ohio as q re
taiiation fer slave stealing in Virginia, appeals te
the North to bear it out in the position, that the
prompt exTadition By the Governor of Virgins
of fugitive from Ohio, charged with horse
stealing, requires equally prompt extradition by
the Governor of Ohio, not only Of fugitive slave,
from Virginia, but fugitives from justice charged
with stealing slaves.
