TO tie Editor Of The State Journal: tss ,ssi
The travelling community in and around
the city of Washington will no doubt hail
with pleasure and satisfaction theprospec-
tive establishment Of new steamboat
line on the waters of the upper Potomac,
as has already been publicly announced.
The promised enterprise will supply at
least two long. existing wants. Besides
furnishing cheap and expeditions means
Of transportation to market for all kinds
of farm produce for the numerous northern
settlers who since the close of the war
have been earnestly engaged in reclaim
ing the impoverished and almost deserted
estates along the Virginia and Maryland
shores, it will afford facilities for travel to
Mount Vernon. which we wonder enterpris-
ing capitalists had not long since supplied.
The number of pilgrims to this attractive
resort for all who hold in veneration the
memory of the ssFather Of his Country
is yearly increasing, and will increase COM
mensurate with adequate means of trans.
portation. The present is q fast age, and
many visitors to our city now, whose So
iourn is limited by press of business, can
not spare whole day to make short
excursion which ought not to require
more than few hours. and SO do not
visit the shrine at all. A new company
has, we understand, been permanently
organized by the election Of corps
officers whose financial and executive
ability, deep interest in their project and
earnest determination are a sure and suf-
fficient guarantee Of their success. They

THE CUBAN PATRIOT NOT HEARD
FRoM.-During the height of the excite
ment over the Cuban massacres, the New
York Herald published letter. dated at
Yonkers, New York, and signed "Walter
Stuart" in which the writer stated that a
brother of his had fallen victim to Spanish
cruelty, and that such was his indignation
and grief at the manner of his taking off
that he would raise q regiment of men
to avenge the deed, and also for
every $50, 900 raised to aid the cause
Of Cuba he would plank down
100000. The letter also stated that
after a certain time, sometime since
elapsed, his postofice address would
be Richmond, Virginia. Enquiry at the
pastoffice here deyelopes the fact that there
are thirty-six letters lying at the office
addressed to "Colonel Walter Stuart
untalled for. One is from this city;
fourteen were forwarded from Yonkers,
New York, and the remainder came
directed to the Richmond office from vari-
Gus parts of the country. It is now
surmised that the "Walter Stuartv letter
published in The Herald was one of the
sensational lodges for which that paper is
SO famous, and that "Walter Stuart''sis
mythical parsonage.
