0The Dispatch also commits a mistake In
SAYING that 2 General Malone has already
had the benefit OF the action OF that section
OF the State in which his greatest strength
lies.' Southampton, Isle OF Wight, Surry,
GreensTille, and Cumberland have acted ;
but neither Dinwiddie, Prince George,
Sussex, Nansemond, Princess Anne, Bruins.

j The Wing is itself in error as to Green's
vile. The Tribune almanac gives theVote
for T1LDEN in Greensyille at 548, and the
State Central Committees table, as pub
lished In the Whig, assigns to that county
only delegates. The Whis is also in error
asto Norfolk county. Only one township
in that county has acted, and that ownship
Instructed lis delegates to vote against Gen
eral MALONE. TazewelI has only IL dele
gates, and they ARE all, instructed to vote
for TERRY on the first ballot, to which ballot
all OF our figures necessarily had reference.
So the Wing Is an error here, too. The

means by its statement. The Norfolk ledger
says that Princess Anne, or one district OF

we can, aud we can guess as well as the

more Opposition to him than to all the other
