The information from Virginia makes it very probable that John Nichols, of Stafford, will not be re-elected; but in his place, Gen. Blackwell, a firm and able Federalist. Indeed the eyes of Virginia have been opened in the course of the last 12 months to such a degree that there is more than equal chance a majority of the representatives from that state will be Federal.
