THE JEFFERSON GUN.BoAr HUMBUa.

The story attributed to Commodore Stewart.
that Mr.. Jcllcrson's gun-boat system originated
in the purpose Of a descent upon Cuba or that
these boats were afterwards assigned to such
purpose. is pretty cilcctually exploded by an
editorial in the National lntcligcncer, backed
up bya communication on the subject from the
pen of gentleman distinguished, the lntell-
gcnecr says. no less for his scholarly attain
mcnts, than for the high position he has long
held in the public service. The historical facts
citcd BY the writer, and the conclusions he de-
riycS from them, are such as should satisfy Mr.
Jciicrson's worst enemy that the gun.boatS III
question. publicly and privately declared TO be
for harbor defence, and unfit for maritime en-
petitions, could not have been destined for
descent upon the insular territory of nation
with which. however unpleasant our relations
might be- we wcre.still at peace.

GOV. WISE SUPPORTS MIR. LErcHER

The following correspondence will silence the
uhispers of those who have been assiduously
circulating the report that Gov. Wise would
not support Mr. Letcher. 1t will be seen, that
though entertaining the highest personal re-
spect for Mr.. Goggin, Gov. Wise deems 1t TO
be the political duty of srery Democrat to
exert every effort for the election Of Mr.. Letch-
cr The party in Virginia is united, and will
poll its usual majority. No efforts, come from
what source they may, can divide the Demo
cracy of Virginia and Henry 4. Wise. lie has
led the Democracy to victory, and they have
honored him-and, as long as the principles oil
the party are preserved, the party and the
Governor are inseparable. In 1855 his triumph
was their glory--in 1859 their success will be
his pleasure. Everything for principles, and
nothing for men,
