CoMMoDoRE Parker AT HAvANA-A letter from
Havana to the New Orleans Pcayune, announcing
the presence of Com. Parker, says:
Since his arrival he has been engaged in inves-
tigatng the circumstances connected with the inhu
man butchery of Crittenden and his forty-nine COM
panions, and the atrocities perpetraed upon their
feless bouies by the Spanish populace here, have
been informed that several gentlemen of the highest
responsibility have waited upon the Commodore and
related to him what they saw themselves in the
streets and public places of the town the day and

| VIRGINIA CANDIDATES FOR GovERNoR-Geo. "
Summers, who has just been nominated by the wings
of Virginia. their candidate for Governor is one
of the ablest men of the Old Dominion. He comes
from the western part of the State, but is popular in
all sections of it. He is most eloquent speaker
very businesslike and practical man, served in Con-
gress many years ago. and took rank there with the
first men in the House.
Joseph Johnson, of Harrison county, the democra-
tic nominee for Governor Of Virginia. is also one OF
State. Mr. Johnson is the Governor elect under the
old constitutions having been elected by the Legisla
ture and his nomination for reelection by the peo
pie is high compliment to him,--B. Sun.
