h this was divided. Florida and Texas were reserved to the slave States, making, together, 333,624 square miles, and by the Missouri Compromise a portion of the Louisiana purchase was left to the South, amounting to 158,896 square miles. Total to the South, 492,520. All the remainder, viz: 977,600 square miles, or nearly in the proportion of two to one, were accorded to the free States! Since that division, the only territory acquired was that under the treaty of peace after the war with Mexico. This contained 665,486 square miles, and was all free territory. Of this, the North obtained the rich State of California, containing 188,981 square miles; Utah, 220,196--making a total of 409,177, which the Northern States acquired from a war to which Southern treasure contributed the principal portion of the means, and Southern rebels contributed the largest number of soldiers. New Mexico remained, containing 256,309 square miles of not very desirable territory to any section; yet the

Killed and wounded in the late battle. --The Lynchburg Virginian says: We regret to see that many of our acquaintances in the counties of Frederick, Jefferson and Berkeley, were either killed or wounded in the battle at Bull Run. Our gallant friend, Alex'r. R. Boteler, than whom a more chivalric son of the South does not live, served as a private in the company of his friend and neighbor, Dr. V. M. Butler, and was wounded in the action. Mr. Boteler was one of the first to shoulder his musket when Harper's Ferry was threatened, both in the Brown invasion and at the commencement of the present struggle. The Captain Avis who is killed was the jailor at Charlestown during John Brown's imprisonment there; and Captain G. W. Chambers, of Harper's Ferry, was the man who shot Aaron D. Stephens. Braver men than both these never drew a sword, and they each rendered service in Mexico.

hould the usurper's minions dare meet them in fair field and open combat, they may prepare to sink under heavy blows inflicted by their stalwart arms, nerved as they are with devotion to their country's cause and a determination to hurl the ruthless invader from the sacred soil. Without disparagement to other companies of the Regiment. We would notice particularly the Columbus Guards, commanded by the gallant Captain Roswell Ellis. This company served gallantly and with distinction in Mexico, was long under the command of Colonel Semmes as Captain; by him to was drilled and trained, until it had attained such perfection that when Capt Ellis worth's celebrated Zouave company, some year or two since, boastingly challenged any volunteer company in the Canada or the United States, to meet them in friendly contest to try their skill and proficiency in the science of war, they boldly took up the range thus defiantly cast at their feet; but, for some reason to us unknown; doubtless goo
