Fauquer and Culpeper. In the former, Mr. Robert E.
Scott has been defeated by democrat, consequence Of
the course he pursued in the last legislature in resisting
the anti -Wmot resoutions and in the latter Mr. Jones
Green has been defeated by Mr.. Barbour, (democra)
who has the honor of being reelected in county which
