Subscribed and sworn to before me this
9th day of October. 1870.
It will be observed that this oath is in strict
conformity with Caldwell's opinion and that,
even under Radical Interpretation, the Super
visor and Inspectors of election will render
themselves liable to the penalties of the en-
forcement act, if they refuse to receive the
vote of any citizen presenting this affidavit
and demanding the right of depositing his
ballot. They cannot evade or deny it.
We earnestly call upon every legally quail
ifed white voter in the State who has been
denied registration or who has been stricken
from the list, to procure copy of the form
of affidavit presented above have it properly
filled up and sworn to; and present it at the
polls on the day of the election. Copies al
ready have been widely distributed through
out the State, and may be obtained by appli.
cation to the Democratic Committee in the
several counties, or by writing to this Office.
We appeal to every man who can take this
oath. to avail himself of the advantage it af.
fords, and compel the officers of the election
to receive and count his vote, even though his
name be not found upon tho books of regis
tration. Should the officers at the polls dare
to refuse, they unquestionably do so at their
peril. .ei-r

From the condensed news column Of tho

all those not contracted for, aud will pay for
them at prices to be fixed by the War Depart
ment. General Bourbaki has accepted the
command of the army of the North, and has
gone to Lille to organize it. Both the French
and prussian armies at Orleans are receiving
reinforcements. The garrison Of Briesach has
made, successful sortie, surprising the Prus-
slams, and killing and wounding many.
The Germans are alarmed by new move-
ments of the vessels of the French feet
They are gathering of Dunkirk, aud a squa-
dron has arrived unexpectedly in the North
Sea. Lights, therefore, have been again re-
moved and the torpedoes replaced in the Elbe
with other impedimeuts to navigation.

bardment of Paris was opened on Friday last

ADVERTISING AGENcIEs.-Amongt the
new businesses which have sprung upinto exis.
tence during the past twenty years, and which
go far to show the progressive sPiri. Of the uge,
is that of advertising agencies. While many
ftbem have proved themselves anything but
beneficial to the publishers of newspapers,
there are honorable exceptions, and among
them we take pleasure in putting FIRST on the
list the firm of Griffin & Hoffman, of BaltiS
more These gentlemen have only proved
themselves valuable adjuncts to the newspa-
pers throughout the country, by their strict
integrity and attention to business, but groat
help to the mercantile community af Balti-
more in introducing them to the people of the
South through perfect system of ofadvertising
in reliable papers in this section. The houses
in Baltimore who have pursued aliberaI system
of advertising have been handsomely reward
cd. The Baltimore Gazette, in an article on
the subject of advertising. pays deserved
compliment to Messrs. Griffin g. Hofmen.-
Its remarks on the benefits to be derived by
the merchants of Baltimore from liberal
system of advertising arc admirably adapted
TO every mercantile community.

WEDNESDAYS NEws.

Reinforcements are constantly joining the
Prussian armies in France, which are now es-
timated to number 100000 men.
It is stated from Valenciennes that il is inn
possible for the Prussians, from their present
positions, to lombard Paris as on account Of
the forts outside of the city they cannot ap-
proach near enough. Their fire-tbat Of the
forts-is spoken of as being so tremendous
that the plains are absolutely swept by it
Their gunners are said to be the best in tho
world.
The unfortifed town of Montdidier has
been attacked and captured by the Prussians,
who made requisition of fifty thousand francs
upon it, holding the Mayor and one of its
bankers as hostages for the payment.
All the pictures and tapestries at st. Cloud
were destroyed by the fire, and the place is
total ruin. German is to be the language
hereafter used in Alsace in all Official busi-
ness.
Some particulars have been received Of what
is spoken of ss the desperate battle of Bag
neaux. The French appear to have been COM
pletely successful, carrying the Prussian po-
sition at the point Of the bayonet.

RICHMOND, October IL, 1870.
James Barbour Esq:
SIR-Your note, dated October 10, was
duly delivered by your friend, Colonel Mosby
In reply have simply TO state that, during
the recess of the Legislature, and while was
absent from the city and State, you offered
me, through the columns of the Enquirer,
what deemed to be personal insult. Upon
my return to the city of Richmond sought
you for the purpose of obtaining reparation,
and found you had left the city returned to
my home and family, but determined. upon
the reassembling of the Legislature, to seek
explanation the first time met you. I met
you casually on the cars, and called your at
tention to the fact that considered myself
aggrieved by said article and demanded an
explanation, which you declined giving, tell
ing me that L could take my redress, aud, at
the same time, placing your hand in your
pocket as if to draw weapon and having
no weapon myself, seized your hand and
slapped your face. You spat upon me, and L
struck you. You now demand satisfaction in
manner which cannot give you, because
it would deprive me- Of my rights as citizen,
and impose upon me some of the penalties of
felony. If you seek any other satisfaction,
shall, of course, hold myself in readiness to
give it to you.
Yours, &C.,

THE PERILs OF BALLooNINa-An aero
naut, named Long. who goes up in balloon
fer the benefit of De Haven.s circus. made a
narrow escape at Norfolk. Va, the other day.
The ascension was exceedingly beautiful, car.
rying the car containing Mr. Long about a
mile high, and proceeded towards Town Point
with startling velocity The balloon made a
rapid descent, absolutely fearful and as it ap-
preached the earth it began to vibrate to such
degree as to require all the nerve and deter
mination young Long was master of to hold
on. At Chamberlain's wharf the car struck
the stay of schooner, and threw Mr. Long
ont, who fell in the water distance of about
fifty feet, and who escaped with few slight
injuries. The balloon in its course carried
away the topmasts of two sloops.
