Gov. WISE has written another remsrka-
bic letter, private, by the way, but by an
inexcusable breach Of confidence, il has
found It's way into the papers.
Itappears that the letter was written to q
confidential friend Of Gov. WsE's, residing
in New York. That gentleman. on q visit
TO Albany, while 10 conversation with other
gentlemen, found those parties hostile TO Mr..
WISE, on the grounds Of bis intimate rela.
tions with FERNANDO WOOD and the control
the Ex.Mayor was supposed to have over
him. The gentleman who is highly hon.
orable man, and perhaps smart enough for the
intrigucs Of bis opponents, incidentally sta
ted in spirit friendly to Gov. WISE, that
he knew the imputations against him TO be
uniounded, but he would not be credited
unless he produced the proof, whereupon
he showed the letter to Mr.. CASSIDY, of the
Argus, in strict confidence, who asked per-
mission TO lay it before DEAN RICHMOND;
this was demurred to, except upon the sol.
emn assurance that it should not appear in
print. II is now known that special copies
Of it were made. The Tribune says the
Governor does well not TO count on New.
York, since his late attempts to tax, and
thus Increase the price Of oysters, would
very naturally array against him both the
Hard and Soft Shells of his party. Here
is his letter, which is certainly a political
cur osity:
