" Being a Whig gain of four Members, and leaving thre
districts to be heard from. Amongst these is the AbinU
don district, concerning which the Richmond Whig f
the 3Utn ult., has the following : . J :
f' A rumor has reached oa that Andrew S. Foitotij,
Whig, b elected to Congress from this district, represent
te for many years past by Geo. W. Hopkins, Esq., now
Minister to the Court of Brazil ; but we still regard the
result as doubtful The only actual returnsB that hare
reached us are the following : jj
Fulton, W. McMullen.L. Goodson.L;
Wythe, 322 198 92
Washington, 334 149 410
Smyth, ; 120 maj.
J 776 347 502
' Thus far, it will be seen, Fulton'a vote is nearly eqoa
to that of both of his opponents combined. The coun
ties of Scott, Russell, Tazewell, Lee, Grayson and Car
roll to be heard from. The contest is supposed to lie
between Fulton and McMullen." f
In addition to the gains which the Whigs have made,,
it is worthy of notice here, that three other districts have
been lost by majorities so small, as to amount in the ag
gregate to but little more than a hundred votes, viz : Mr
Dromgoole is elected by only 18 votes, Mr. Bocock by
I2,and Mr. Atkinson by 78.
In the' Legislature the Whigs have, thus far, gained
fifteen and lost six.
P. S. By this Friday) morning's mail we have the
gratifying intelligence of "the election of Andrew S.
Fcltos in the Abingdon District, and the assurance, of
a strong probability of the election of MeComas, (whig,)
in the Kanawha District.
. . In the Legislature the Whigs have gained 18, and
lost 7 nett Whig gain 11 equivalent to the annihila
tion of the Locofoco majority of 22 last winter ! ! The
Whig majority in the next House of Delegates, should
there be no farther change's in the few counties that re
main to be heard from, will be 10 the Locofoco majori
ty in the Senate the same.
