a Coop EsrIMATE.-The Richmond Wing a
short time previous to the recent Election, gave
list of Counties, sc. which the Editor set down
as certain for the Wings, electing 50 members to
the House OF Delegates; OF these members, it
turns out that the Wings have elected all but four,
namely in the counties of Taylor, Southampton
Braxton & Lewis, and Randolph and Barbour,
and two OF these were lost by small majorities.
Several other Counties claimed as probable by
the same paper have also been carried by the
Wings 1t is rarely that sc see so skilfu and
close an estimate.
VlRciNn.-The repor; that Wing Delegate
had been chosen from Graysoa and Carroll is
contradictcd Parks, Loco, is rejected. So
the Joint Ballot stands S4 Wing TO 50 Loco, un.
til the contests are settled, when we are confident
of Sc Wing to so Loco.
