ted to preside over the new organiza
ton" Cutler S. Dobbins, of Martin
County, was put in nomination for
Prosecuting Attorney This gentle
man was an officer in the army short
time, but resigned on account of OBJ
jections to the administration and

balls. $3.50 8'o
A lawyer from Martin County sup
ported the nomination of Dobbins in
aspeech, a during which he boasted of
Dobbins' record as to co1nselling re-
sistanee to the draft -"the wicked

Gibson, s. FL. Taylor and w. C. Ad-
ans were also put in nomination.
Il Fifteen ballots were had before a

III temper was displayed. On the fif-
teenth ballot Cutler S. Dobbins re-
eeived twolthirds' of the. votes, and

the 14th between the Prussians and
the Federals near Aschaffenburg.
The former were entirely successful.
The town was in flames and the Fed
erals were retreating The Prussians
were marching on Frankfort, which
town had been evacuated by the Fed
,eral troops. : The Diet had been re-
moved to Augustenburg where the

those in Venice, thus had no railway
connection with Vienna, so that uh-
less Cialdini be disIodged, the Aus
trians cannot render aid in thes i'm
pending battle with the Prussians.}
y. The Times of the 10th says whateV-
er forces the Austrian Government
may have succeeded in gathering
around Vienna, it is still doubtful
whether it will itself be equal to the
task of withstanding the victorious
: Prussians, who, according to all cal
culations, should assemble before Vi
emma tomorrow or the day after. IF
anything was needed to render the
Austrian people hopeless it was the
tidings of the irreparable disaster at
Aschaffenburg, which must have
reached Vienna. ,5 H. ar- uMHrl
Pressed by. -deputation from the
Vienna municipality inquiring the
Emperor's pleasure in regard to the
defence of Vienna, the Emperor at
once removed the peoples apprehen-
sions by replying that Vienna would
be treated as an open city, and added
that he would limit operations to a
defence of the line of the Danube,
which might bring the Prussian at
tack on Floridoff, a village two
or three miles from the gates
of Vienna, where the zAustrians
have an intrenched camp as Tete
Du Ponte. Should the Prussians
however, attack Vienna, they would
certainly attempt to cross the river at
several points, and In case of success,
the open city would unavoidably fall
into their hands.

FORNEY's ULTIMATUM.-1n a speech
which he made in Philadelphia last Satur-
day night, Forney spoke of the southern
people and the proposed amendment to the
Constitution as follows:
"They must by this time have learned
THAT WE OFFER NO MORE TERMS. These are
the last. [Applause.] These or nothing !;
and these possibly will not be sufficient to
crafty the insatiate appetite of American
patriotism if there is longer rebellious de-
lay. do not, for my part, pledge myself
to the theory Of the immediate admission
of any of these still revolving and disaf-
fected States that ratify that amendment.
Each such insolent State must come to
Congress with free constitution and o
clean bill Of health" (Cheers.]

TUESDAY. OCTOBER ., 1856.


From the Wheeling Intsllissncsf, Radical. /,
A curious case, involving civil rights OF
. black man, IL pending In the CAlenit
to come up for trial at the next term. The
facts, as we learn them, are these u
About the expiration Of the term Of Jo-
seph johnson as Governor Of Virginia, Al
fred Meade, q colored man, who had saved
some money as waiter In the Richmond
hotels, found himself able to buy himself;
he being a slave. Governor johnson owned
bis wife, and 1t was arranged that the Co.
vernon should become the ostensible pur.
chaser, Meade furnishing the money. This
programme was carried out through Mr..
MunfOrd, then Secretary Of the Common
wealth, who testifes that Meade did fur
nish the money paid for him. This arrange
ment was partly to facilitate the purchase
and partly to enable Meade to remain In
the State, and near his wife, without dis.
turbance, the Virginia law being very severe
on free negroes. Meade came to Western
Virginia, and was allowed by EX-GOVERNOR
johnson to shift for himself, to make his
own contracts, come and 60 when and
whittier he pleased, work for himself, and
appropriate the rewards Of his labor. In
this he prospered 50 well that he accumu-
lated money, which he loaned at different
times to the Ex-Governor to an amount
over thousand dollars, receiving notes OF
hand therefor, payable with interest. The
principal and interest now amounts to be.
tween eleven hundred and twelve hundred
dollars.
The case stood thus when Ex-Governor
Johnson left his home in Harrison county
to engage in the rebellion, When he re-
turned he found the relations between him
self and Mr.. Meade somewhat altered, the
latter having the same status before the
law as himself. Mr.. Meade applied for
payment of the notes. MIR. johnson re-
fused, and Mr.. Meade has brought suit to
enforce payment.
Mr.. johnson claims that Meade was his
slave at the time the transactions took
place, and that Meade's money was his
money that in borrowing Of Meade he
was only borrowing Of himself, and that
therefore he does not owe anybody else. He
also claims that Meade was giving him this
money for the purchase of his (Meade's)
wife, and that when enough had been paid
over she was to have her freedom.
Mr.. Meade claims that he was free
man, and that Johnson had admitted the
fact, and that the admission can be proven.
1t is certainly true that Johnson's claim to
the money because it was for the purchase
of the woman's freedom has no force even
in law, because his part of that contract,
if it ever existed, never was performed.
He did not give her her freedom. That
was given her by public law.
