Beaufort, an1 one in this District"
This is mistake. We have two artillery
companies in Pickcns and we presume there
arc more than eight companies beside in the

that in all the free States and Territories,
taken together, the cclored population in
the same ten years increased from III .S51
to 1876, ,5S0,or l4,38 per cent; and that
in all the slaveholding States the free col
ored population increased only about IL
per cent. 1t is'a fact that within the same
period the slave population of the United
States increased from 2, ,4ST ,445 to 8,204

period, Increased from II, ,105, ,605. to 10,
553,06S, or 1874 percent. 1t is fact
that an aggregate of less than 400, 600
! slaves imported into the United States
since the first settlement of the country
(see Census Compendium, PIP. 83-4), have
increased to 1858, ,S0S, Including those
