The following appears in the New York Evening
Post. We confess to some doubts as to the genu-
neness of the article:
REMARKABLE LETTER FROM GOVERNOR
WISE.
HIS SENTIMENTS ON NEW YORK POLITICS.
The following singular letter from Governor
Wise, of Virginia, to friend in Albany, has lust
been made public, and has created quite sensation
among the politicians now congregated in that
city:
RICHMOND, July Is, 1859.
Dear Sir: l thank you for yours of the sth inst
have apprehended all along that the Tammany
Regency would carry a united delegation from New
York to Charleston. For whom? Douglas. |
know, is confident; but you may rely on it that Mr.
Buchanan is himself candidate for re nomination
and all his patronage and power will be used to
disappoint Douglas and all other aspirants Our
only chance is to organize by Districts and either
whip the enemy or send two delegations.
If that is done not done, we must still RELY on
united South. A united South will depend on a
united Virginia, and pledge you that she, at least
shall 81 De unit Virginia unit and persisent and
sons of popular squatter sovereignty she
must rally to her support ali the South. The South
| cannot adopt Mr.. Douglass platform. 1t is short
cut to all the ends of black republicanism He then
will kick up his heels. If he does or don't, he
can't be nominated, and the main argument
against his nomination is that he can't be elected if
nominated. If he runs Independent candidate and
Seward runs, and | am nominated at Charleston
is plank of the platform at Charleston and Doug
las is nominated, the South will run an indepen-
dent candidate on protection principles, and run
the election into the House. Where, then, would
Mr.. Douglas be? The lowest candidate on the list.
If have the popular strength you suppose it will
itself fix the nomination. Get that, and | am conf
dent OF success ..- ......
Hon. F. Wood is professedly and really, believe,
friend, and of course | would, in good faith, be
glad of his influence, and would do nothing to im-
pair it, and could not justly reject his kind aid but
you may rely upon it that am neither completely,
nor at ALL in the hands of Mr.. Wood, or any other
man who breathes. He has always been friendly to
me, and | am to him, but always on fair and indie
pendent terms. There is nothing in our relations
which should keep aloof any friend of either. He
knows as well as any can tell him, that his
main influence is in the city of New York, and
judge what you say of his country influence is cor
rect But am counting all the time without New
York, and don't fear the result. / am depending
solely upon open position of principle independent
of all cliques, and defying all corners We will
overwhelm opposition in Virginia, and her vote
will be conservative and national.
At all events, shall always be glad to hear from
you, and am yours truly, Henry A. WISE.

A Steamboat Disturbance.

The steamboat Wenona being in trouble at
Pittsburg, some of the owners seized her and
she was laid up. But the captain and crew,
not liking to be idle, got pair Of wooden
cylinder heads made, to replace the iron ones
| which had been taken away to prevent her
slipping off to another State,) and took ad-
vantage of dark night to glide silently
down the Ohio. The Pittsburg Despatch
thus recounts the rest Of her adventures:
son Friday last, ~ we have stated, the
Wenona was hard aground at Whites ripple,
Capt. Florer on board, apparently taking
things easy We have also stated the fact Of
the chartering of the steam tug Hawkeye,
Capt. Jake Hill, by the three-fourth owners,
for the purpose of bringing her back to the
city Previous to starting, however, two le-
gal gentlemen called upon the Mayor, their
object being to get that functionary to detail
his police to prevent bloodshed in the antici-
pated grand onslaught on the Wenona. The
Mayor, however, declined to put his foot in
it," but stated the probability of his interior
ence in case the peace was broken by either
party. The conference with the Mayor was
not satisfactory, and the legal gentlemen left.
They were Joined by two gentlemen connec-
ted with the Central road, noted for their
"pluck." and "some on the MUSCLE" backed
bv at least thirty men, consisting of draymen,
truckmen, porters, &c., bearing handspikes,
draw pins, &c. all being in readiness, the
Hawkeye proceeded on her journey.
Old Captain FlOrer, happening out on the
guards Of the Wenona, observed the Hawk
eve approaching, and anticipating her arri-
val had not been idle. He drummed up
some % men, arming the greater portion OF
them with old flint muskets, some of them
with no locks; others were armed with old
rusty sabres. Captain Florer gave orders
for every man to take stateroom and not to
show himself till the signal was given.
The Ilawkcye came up close, and the lead
cr Of the formidable party sung out-"W
have come to pull this boat of and take her
back to Pittsburg." Captain F.-"All right;
what assistance | can give will be at your
service" The Wenona was soon ahoat,
lines were attached, and all was in readiness
for trip back to the city. Captain F..
stepped down to the boiler deck, and with
two strokes of his hatchet severed the line
Simultaneous with this, the men rushed from
the state-rooms of the Wenona, and with
pointed guns and drawn sabres oyerawed the
Hawkeye party, who took refuge in the hold,
cook-housc, and water closets, each seeming
particularly anxious to put himself out OF
sight.
The Wenona dropped quietly down the
Ohio. and met with no further molestation.
The last heard from her, she was at Wells
vile. and having been provided with cylin-
der heads of iron, was making her way TO
Cincinnati, which port she probably reached

The Young Ladies OF Australia.

The young ladies of Australia are in many
respects remarkable. AT thirteen years of
age they have more ribbons, jewels and low
ers, than perhaps any other young ladies of
the same age in the universe. They prattle,
and very insipidly too, from morning till
night. They rush to the Botanical gardens
twice week, to hear the band play, dressed
precisely after the frontispiece in the latest
reported number of LIE follet. They wear
as much gold chain as the Lord Mayor in
his State robes. As they walk you hear the
tinkle of their punches of charms and mug
gets, us if they carried bells On their fingers
and rings on their toes. The first time
visited the theatre sat near IL young lady,
who wore at least half-a-dozen rings 0verwhlte
gloves. and who, if bare mosquito bitten
shoulders may be deemed beautiful, showed
more beauty than ! ever saw young lady
display before. Generally, the colonial dam
sells are frivolous, laxative. and over-dressed.
They have in brief, all the light, unenviable
qualities of Eastern women. They excel in

Talking Bad for the Teeth.

There is an old story of a man, who as
signed as the cause of the loss Of his wife 5
teeth, "that she had worn them out with her
tongue" This solution suggests the query,
whether the wholesome practice of keeping
the mouth shut" enforced in deSpotic coun-
tries, may not tend to preserve the teeth and
whether the dental structures" of Amcrl-
can citizens freest and most eloquent on
earth--are not prematurely destroyed by UNI
necessary exposure and lingual attriton. If
there be anything in this, we venture to say
that the chances for success in the practice OF
dental surgery in France, are by no means
improving under the quiet and taciturn En-
pcror. BostOa Courier.

II G Soldiers Murdered by Indians.

A letter to the New York Times, dated
Fort Buchanan, in Arizona Territory, states
that Sergeants Kelly and Berry, who had
Just been honorably discharged from the LIST
dragons, and who were on their way into
the States, with their families, were murder
ed by. Indians on the oath ult., and their
wives and children taken captive. The muir
dered men had several thousand dollars with
them and were accompanied by Sergeant
Ryan and family, who was on his way to the
States on furlough. Sergeant Ryan made
his escape, but his wife was also carried of
captive. Lieutenant Lord, with fifty dra-
goons, Immediately started in pursuit Of the
murderers. Some anxiety was felt for Capt.
Ewell, who was out with only six men, az
companied by Assistant Surgeon Irwin.
