Baltimore, Nov. 21st, 1859.
Hon. Henry A. Wise, Governor of Virginia,
Charlestown, Va.
The telegraphic agents of Associated Press sent your
remarks, as reported in to-day's Baltimore American, which I sent you, to the
entire Eastern and I believe, the Southern press.
I send you New York papers by morning train to-morrow. Our agents at Wheeling, Benwood and Moundsville have all made full and diligent inquiry, and report by telegraph to-night, that so far they have seen nothing of suspicious men, or other indications of a gathering to rescue the prisoners.
W. P. SMITH.
