Letter from Gov. Letcher.
A correspondence between Gov. Letcher, of Virginia, and a person named Jas. S. Brisbin, of Centre county, Pa., is published in the Enquirer of yesterday.
To a full understanding of Gov. Letcher's letter, it is necessary to publish that of his correspondent, and we therefore give them both:
Centre Democrat Office,Bellefonte, Centre County, Pa, November 15th, 1860. Governor John Letcher, of Virginia. --Dear Sir:
The present position of South Carolina and the sympathy manifested for her by many of the southern States, is to some a matter of amusement — to others a matter of alarm.
The disunion sentiment, which has been growing gradually in this country since the nullification of 1833, has at length assumed huge proportions, and, in my opinion, this spirit of rebellion should now be crushed, and effectually crushed.
If we are to have disunion, let it come now; we will never be better to grapple with the monster than at the present hour.

Federal troops and Southern Defences.
The New York Journal of Commerce contradicts the report, circulated in that city by a Republican journal, that an order had been received countermanding the departure of troops for California on the 21st inst — the object of the supposed order, according to the gratuitous hypothesis of the Republican paper, being to hold those troops in readiness to meet certain contingencies in South Carolina.
The recruits at Fort Columbus, in New York harbor, are mostly raw levies, and if it were necessary to add 200 men to the garrison of Fort Moultrie, they could be had from the superfluous force of eight veteran companies now concentrated at Old Point Comfort — With the single exception of the arsenal at Fayetteville, N. C., it is said that no military work in the Southern States has been recently strengthened.
The Republicans seem impatient for the work of coercion to begin, and are gloating over the idea of Federal bayonets dripping in Southern blood

Commercial.
Yesterday all the Banks suspended specie payments.
Of course, everything is at sixes and sevens for the present.
The rate of Northern exchange could not be settled.
There was little for sale in the city, and that was sold for 6 per cent. premium.
North Carolina notes fell to 5 per cent. discount and South Carolina to 10 per cent. Gold was not offered except in very small amounts, and was held at 6 per cent premium.
The Banks had questions to settle among themselves as to what notes they would receive on deposit, and what they would not. It must be some days before things are settled upon a systematic basis.
The business community, however, seemed more cheerful and satisfied, and a better feeling prevailed generally.
People still, however, look forward to political affairs with doubt and anxiety.
Chicago, Nov. 19.--Our banks to-morrow will throw out the notes of the following banks:--American Exchange Bank, State Bank (Shawneetown,) Bank of the Commonwealth
