Organization Of three New Territories


Among the acts passed near the close OF tn
last session Of Congress, and approved b.
President BUCHANAN, is one for the organization
of three new Territories, under the eaphonioui
Indian names Of Colorado, Nevada and Dako-
tab. There being no express provision for th'
protection or prohibition Of slavery within thes'
Territories, in the act establishing them, the!
may be fegardedas crgauiSsd upon the Popular
Sovereignty principle.
The new Territory of Colorado embraces the
famous Pixies Peak mining region, and In
cludea parts Of kansas, Nebraska and Eastern
10 Utahs Il has an area of about one hundred
thousand square miles, and contains about
twenty five thousand inhabitants.
Nevada IL taken from Western Utah and
cslifcrnia. Itinciudes the new sil'er mining
washoe region, and the no less famous Carsor

Dakotah, which is taken from what VAS for.
merly the Territory Of Minnesota, lies immedi'
a,ely south of Brilish America, vest Of Min

lis remarkable fact, and one that should
not be forgotten BY the American people, that
IN the consideration cf the bill which finally be-
came law, and BY which these three terrific.
= fial governments were organized, neither the
s.sineprs ssible conflict gentlemen, who we're
o., pledsed 70 exclude Slavery from al territory
nor the advocates OF that dineIorable logic BY
which we we're to clinch Slavery in all the pnb-
lc domain and there keep IL, against the wishes
yaof the people inhsbiting the territories, united
IN passing new territorial bill, which they had
the power to defeat. These ''irrepressblesY for

territories, combined In the late contest to put

By defeating the Democracy they put the

ENTIRE AND COMPLETE DEFEAT CONFESSED.
The result of the battle yesterday has been
the entire and complete defeat Of our whole
army. The loss eff life in the battle alone
will reach fully thrsz thousand, and two
thousand more will die of their wounds. The
slightly wounded, severely wounded, and
and those wounded who will recover after
amputatior, amount to fully five thousand
more. We have lost hundreds of prisoners,
among them Col. McCook. First Regiment,
Ohio Sherman's splendid battery had to be
abandoned to the enemy. Previous to its aban-
Comment, however, the gunners say they
spiked the pieces. The splendid battery of
the Second Rhode Island Regiment is said to
be dismounted and rendered entirely useless.
The enemy captuled our two large 80 poun-
ders, and then turned them on our retreating
columns. The horses attached to all the
foregoing guns wire cut loose, and brought
off the field safely.

The panic was so great that had it not been
for throwing open the draw on the Long

government. Lieut. G. has been absent on

turned recently as commanding officer with

he was bound to perform, and as soon as he
had placed his feet on Southern soil, be
promptly resigned his commission, and took
position with his native South. Lieut.. G.

DEATHS,

On the 5th of July, 1861, at Fredericksburg. Va, Of
Typhoid fever, Mr.. Reuben w. Wilder, in the 32d year
ofhis age, leaving a father, mother, brothers and sis
tiers to mourn theirloss.
Brother Wilder was a native ofNOrth Carolina, and
had been'a consistent member of Perry's church in
franklin county, n. c., about six years. Last Fall he
emlgrated to Arkansas, and engaged in school teach
ing but on hearing ofthe invasion of the Southern
Safes by a Northern army, he left his school and vol
unteered to defend the South from its treatened sub
jugation by the misguided fanatics Of the North, and
thus a good man has fallen by the wickedness OF
Abraham Lincoln and his advisers.
Sleep on my brother till the morn of the reslrrec-
ton, when thou shalt arise to glory and honor with
Christ your Savior, where wars and rumors of wars
are no more. 7.

SECRETARY OF STATE.-The Hon. Robert
Toombs, of Georgia, preferring active duty in
the field to the office Of Secretary Of State of
the Confederate Government, has resigned
that office and been appointed Brigadier
General in the Confederate army. And the
Hon. r. NJ. L. Hunter of Virginia, for many
years Senator in the U. S. Congress from
that State, has succeeded 10 the Office of
Secretary of State.
Promotion OF GEN. BEAUREGARD.-On
Monday before leaving Manassas, President
Davis very properly promoted this noble
officer from the rank of Brigadier to that of a
full General.
OPINION OF THE LONDON TIMEs.-The
London Times, drought by the Africa says
that President Lincoln's message confirms
the impression that his Inaugural produced,
and that was, that after an Infinite loss of
life and humiliation on the part of the North,
the result will be the recognition of the
independence of the Southern Coincide
racy.
TORONTO, CANADA, July 29.-The Daily
Globe, of this city, says that the sympathies
of the British people are being withdrawn
from the North.
The Leader, the government organ, advo.
Gates the sending of additional troops to
Canada.
INCREASE OF THE ARMY.-The Secretary Of
War of the Confederate States has recon-
mended that 500 regiments of troops be call
ed out. 1t is understood that Congress will
leave the number of regiments discretionary
with The President. AS old Scott saws. lei
there be enough.
In connection with the arrival of Prince
Napoleon at New York, the Richmond Ex-
aminer says:
Next to the great victory, the most i'm
portant Of current events is the arrival a
New York of the Prince Napoleon and tn,
{ Princess Clotilde. This Cisit IS French me-
4 diation IN ats first form. A Prince so pa
, ciic and a Princess of tender years, would
scarcely come to these troubled lands iron
motives of curiosity or pleasure. Still les
I could they intend, like the Prince of Wales,
national compliment.
These people come with a political purpose
