The recent visit of Gov. Letcher.
--The prompt notice taken by Gov. Letcher of a note addressed to him from Cincinnati — said to be from the same person who informed Secretary Floyd of the John Brown raid, some time before it occurred--(and warning him against another raid on Virginia,) is mentioned in the Lynchburg Virginian. Governor Letcher visited this city in connexion with this information, and it was by his advice that the military of this city, last week, resumed their nightly drill, to be in readiness for efficient service whenever called upon.--It is needless to say, that no apprehension whatever is entertained of any movement calling for military interference — and that the advice of the Governor was only to make "assurance doubly sure."--Alex.
