The Daily Dispatch.

The Dispatch Of last Monday contained
the announcement that Mr.. Hammersley,
who, since the foundation Of that fine pa
per, has been part owner and contributor,
had purchased one-half Of the paper, and is
now associated with Mr.. Cowardin as equal
owner and proprietor. The Dispatch, as
we think all our readers who take it will
agree, is decidedly the best neaos- paper in
Virginia, and probably not surpassed in the
Union. We bespeak for it the Increased
patronage which it deserves.

Gov. WIsE.-A Democratic paper in
Georgia the Milledgeville Federal Union
attributes the reduced Democratic majority
in Virginia to the influence of Gov. Wise.
It asserts that he was hostile to Mr.. Letch-
er, upon the supposition that he was nomi-
mated in the interest of Mr.. Hunter-and
that his friends, for this reason, refused to
vote for him.
We are not partisans of Gov. Wise, and
have no occaaion to hold him in any special
regard We are under no obligation to de-
fepd him when assailed. But such an I'M
putation as is urged by the Georgia paper,
is certainly unjust We regret to say that
Gov. Wisc's special friends did sustain Mr..
Letcher, SO far as we know, without excep-
ton The Opposition relied somewhat up
on the supposed disafection of Gov. Wise. $
friends, for the cutting down of Mr.. Letch-
er's vote-but in that respect they were dis
appointed. Whether it was from consider
atoms Of duty or policy they voted for Letch-
er, we know probably both. Gov.
Wise has political friends enough in Virgil
MIA to have caused Mr.. Letchers overwhel-
! ming defeat, by merely staying away from
the polls. -Lynchbury V'yimian
