letter appears in the last "Ralegh Register, pur-
porting TO be addressed by one in petersburg
respecting the prospects in Virgina.-Ihe writer con-
veys base nsnuation against the Editor of this paper
in the remark that UNFORTUNATELY, majority of our
fellow-ctzens not quite as conversant with Mr.
Ritchie's character we, from circumstances, are
obliged TO e--The writer lies too in saying, "Mr. H.
knotcS that Virginia will vote for Harrson but dares
not say So for fear of the effect which such admls
sion might have other States which vote contempt
raneously with Virginia" We know no such thug
On the contrary, entertain confident belief that
Virginia will not vote for Harrson-and so audacious
is this miserable drveler saying "that no Intelligent
man in Virginia entertans the ghes doubt of her
ting for HARRISON that have heard any republican
for time expressing any such belief Irue Geor-
ga and Maine and Maryland have, SO far, gone against
us-(Pennsylvania has gone for us)-but II we nave
hitherto been deceived in those States, 1t IS because
the most intelligent and honorable have been them
selves deceived. Georgia and Maine have surprised
both friend and foe-but no WONDER when our trends
in Maine have been supine though they will right
themselves in November) and honorable men III Geor-
pia now believe from the astonishing number OF votes
and the unexpected result, that she has been carried
by fraud. (See the letter in the last Enquirer See
the developments in Ohio, in Baltimore, Philadelphia
and New York; One OF the most experienced gen.
tlemen in Baltimore county, whose prediction IN 1879
was fully verified by the result of that years election,
assured months since that Maryland would go
for Van Buren, The election has not yet taken place
in that State and friends there still bid US not de-
spar of her AS for Pennsylvania, she speaks for her
self. As for Virginia, the Petersburg calnmniator
ascribes sentiment TO which we have never felt
So far from knotong that she will go for Gen. Harr
son, most confidently believe, that she will go for
Mr.. Van Buren, by strong minority. All our letters;
all our paro information, all the signs in the Demo
cratic papers, assure of such result. We lay fur
ther extracts from them before readers
