ton, which nine-tenths Of the Southern people
will approve. Virginia we think we can an
swer for; and we do not hesitate to express
the belief that whilst she may second her rep

mission of California at this time, she does not
recognise in the success Of that measure any
such encroachment upon her rights or insult
to her dignity as she has solemnly declared that
she would find in law of Congress prohibiting
slavery in the Territories abolishng slavery in the
District of Columbia, restricting the slave trade
between the States.-Richmond Times.

territory now forming the State Of Wisconsin,
which was but few years ago overshadowed by
dense wilderness, will soon rank among the
most important States of the Confederacy. Some
idea Of the large aecessons to the population which
she is constantly receiving, may be gathered from
the sales of the public lands within her border.
The entries of land within the State during the
year ls49 amount in the aggregate to 795,646
acres, of which little 200, 900 were paid for
in cash, and the remainder, nearly 100000 acres,
were paid for with land warrants. During the year
lS48 more than million Of acres of land in the
State were entered, about three-fourths Of which
were paid for with land warrants.
