It is estimated BY foreign land therefore

aruy OF tue United States bore any proportion
to tho number Of persons bearing tue title OF

tiuent of Nortll America, including tho lakes aud

SOLDIER to four square feet OF territory. Tho
do,nise Of one General, therefore, would not bo
4 matter to interest the whole civilized world.
Hence It happeua that the doath Of Brig
Gen. Daniel X. Boswell by drowning in the Mis-
