An election was hold in
Fauquier county, Va., on the 1st inst., for a Senator to replace the late
J. K. Marshall, and for a delegate in place of
Mr. Payne, resigned.
Mr. Alex. J. Payne was elected to the former place.
Mr. Sampson P. Bagby was elected delegate over
Col. J. E. Scruggs by about 30 votes.
That portion of the county in which the strength of
Col. S. lay was overrun by the
Yankees, or it is almost certain he would have been elected.
Mr. Bagby, we learn, is a gentleman of excellent sense, end will represent
Fauquier excellently.
