The Territories Of the Upitsd st.,,,

a. 9N1hEIa
New Territories are carved out Of the far and I
fertile West, with such rapidity, that il il al
most impossible to keep the run Of them. The
following information, therefore, for which we
are indebted to that invaluable publication.
" The .ameTfean Almanac for 1871 Possesses
more than ordinary interest. Il will be seen
that we have seven Territories in all, at the
present time, namely Oregon, Minnesota,
Utah, New Mexico, Washington, Kansas and
Nebraska. A few years longer, and all, with
the exception, perhaps, Of Utah, will be incor-
porated into the Union as States.
