There was a fight this morning in front of the Navy Yard gate and a Union man was shot. The Secessionists are determined to bring on a revolution. An attempt is being made to nominate H.A. Wise as candidate for governor. He is a scoundrel. Although Lether has been in but a few months, they will follow Texas for [Lether] is a Union man. If the state is carried out I will leave on the first boat. The Northern people are not going to give up Washington, the archives, nor their nationality. They will not consent to dating their nation from 1861, and neither will the South. I want to be on soil which will not be invaded. Individuals mentioned include Captain Levy, Hamlin, Jno. C.
