Mr.. Albums skill more than they do him.
We understand that the Adams ticket has
| prevailed in the Borough of Norfolk. and in the
counties of Norfolk, Elizabeth City, Princess
Annc, and Nansenond. The fredericksburg
Herald OF yesterday states that the Crawford
tickct had succeeded by large majoritias i'm Ca
roline, Stafford anu Spottsylvania. I'm the county
OF Fairfax, the vote for Crawford, 76--fIr
Jackson, %. From Petersburg the accounts
are contradictors-one stating that the Adams.
another that the Crawford, third that the Jack
son ticket had prevailed. These. partial sue
cesses will not change the result. i've have no
hope but that the Crawford ticket is elected.

The trends of Mr.. Crawford are greatly dis
appointed and chagrned at the event of the
Presidential Election in this county!
Ailcr boasting that 3-4ths of the Freeholders
OF tins County were in favour of MIR. Crawford
hrs ticket prevailed over that of Adams, by a
majority OF o votes only and there is good
ground for believing that had a sufficient mum
Der OF Adams tickets been received here and
had his friends exercised the same personal in
fuence as was practsed by the friends of Mr..
Crawford, that the former ticket would have pre-
vailed IN this County. Notwithstanding have
not the good fortune to possess 25 acres of land;
still considered it privilege TO exercise my
best exertions in order to counteract the many
arhfices and intrI 'Ies which were resortcd TO
by the friends of Mr.. Crawford! can i'm nus
tee make this declaration, when an attempt was
certainly made TO influence SUCH who, though
decidedly IN favour of Mr.. Adams were not ac-
| qualnted with the forms by which the Presdcn-
tial Election is conducted. The election even
tuated SO very different from their calculations
that they may now at their leisure Illuminate
upon the imbecility of their exertions, and upon
ut
ton!
| The event of the election in this county, must
he truly gratifying to the friends of Mr. Adams
IN the other counties of this State, and hope
may yet be entertained that his ticket has pre-
VALID in Virginia.

Returns from different parts of the State, dis
play the following result: Jackson 622o-
Adams, 2,O82-Crawford, I,17l-Clay, 300
The strength of Mr.. Adams far, has exceed
cd all calculation. Many counties are to be
heard from, and no doubt exists that the Jackson
ticket will be elected by majority of thirty or
forty thousand! His wonderful popularity with
i the grave and demurc natives of PENNSYLVANIA,
Ia the sfrangcst feature lii the whole Presidential
contest.
Mr. CofvIn is mistaken in calling the letters
we published on the state of Mr.. Crawford,s
Fheaiih Anonymous. The signatures are real

The following original lcttcr of Gen. La Fayette
has been placed i'll possession for pGbicarion
ihe critical period ut which il was written, being
the spring OF the year which witnessed the capture
tof CORVALLIS, when Virginia and North Carolina
were overrun by his Lorship and the great cause
bore so gloomy nspect--and Inc cheerful aud
confidus spirit of the letter itself characteristic
OF the tirmiess and decision of its gallant authors
aitogstie give it consider BILE interest This is OF
course euhauced by recent circumstances which nv
replacing Fayette once amidst the scenes of
his military achievements have carried our memo
rle:back To the eventual time when they were per-
formed, and convinced US that the youthful cham
pion of American freedom retains in his advanced
age all the qualities which the confidence, az
iections and admiration of our brave ancestors
IL Is uncertain, for the letter itself furnishes no
p'ooi whether the letter was addressed the CO.
vernon of Virginia OF North Carolina-though
most probably to The latter.

for which, beg leave TO offer my best thanks.
| lie one OF the two armies we are to deal with,
has taken its position at Petersburg-they are
covered by both Rivers, and should our force
he equal TO an action with them, their naval
command gives them an Immediate possession of

whole adjacent country. But our regular force
IS so small (about 200) that defeat must be ex-
pected which might be fatal in its consequent

mans, would know what i am to risk and
what am TO cxpect.
I The want OF arms is no less complained of in
t'iis State than IL is in that of N. Carolina-Ri-
herDen and Cavalry or at least mounted Infan-
try, are of a particular advantage, and such mon
are those which / earnestly request may be OPP
posed to, at least ordered to follow Lord Corn
wallis.
/ BY letter from General Greene to General
Sumner, | find he has ordered the new Leyies
to be assembled against the troops that were to
advance through your State-hog far it will be
proper to take these nan out of the state am
not able to ascertain until General Greene's in
tcniions are known-but would recommend that
these new levies be gathered in the rear of
Lord Cornwallis's, so as to be able when SO or
dered, TO go TO South Carolina. What Militia
can be collected and armed in the nelghbouring
countless ms far as it will not interfere with the
business Of drafts or the demands of General
; Greene, think they may be sent to our assis-
lance. As to those that are remote, and the new
leyies, wish your Excelency would have the
matter submitted to General Greene, as in my
opinion, it is him whom we particularly ought
to reinforce, and by the time those remote men
are ready bis intentions may be known as TO
their employment. | will add. that have detain-
ed body Of Virginia Militia that was to join
General Greene, and that deficiency ought to
be made up by Militia from the middle and
