General Isaac I. Stevens, U. S. A., was killed in an engagement 

 near Fairfax Court House, Virginia, Sept. 1, 1862. His labors in the 

 explorations and surveys on the 49th parallel north latitude, when Gov- 

 ernor of Washini^ton Territory, form a valuable addition to our knowl- 

 edge of the Physics and Geography of the North American continent.
