Nv the arrival % ne steamship Northern Light,
w. have dates fom I'm Francisco to the 1iih of
August. being two weeks subsequent to those pre-
viously rec,iyed There is very little of startling
inpor; i'll the news, especially as it was anti
ossated by telegraph from New Orleans. We have
the particulars of the unfortunate duel between the
Hon Mr. Gilbert ard General Denver, which
suited fatally to the former gentleman. We also
find notice of another duel, which was fought |
near San Francisco, between residents Of that
city which resulted, however, in the spillipg of
less blood but wi h, no doubt full much salts
faction The Chinese appear to be overrunning the
new State, and if they continue to increase for |
few wears as they have the last twelvemonth, we |
shall expect to hear them demanding that the Go |
vernon Of he State, member of Congress, shall be
chosen from ar org their number The mortality on
board Of vessels arriving at San Francisco is truly
frightiul. We see that vessel which left Panama
with hundred and forty passengers after being at
one hundred and forty three days, and suffering
all kin is of hardships, finally arrived at her dest
nation with only one hundred and forty. seven on
board but what became of the ninety three missing
passengers, we do not learn.
The intelligence from the Sandwich Islands de-
tails the most terrible suffering among the passen-
gers board the ba TX Sarmiento, together with
of murder said vessel. and the execution
of the murderer by Lynch law. The Hawaiian king
dom has entered into treaty Of commerce with
Sweden.
The election for State and county officers, and
also for members of Congress took place in Yer
mont, yesterday. There were three tickets run,
that neither OF the candidates will be likely to receive
q majority of the whole number of votes cast. The
campaign has not been as animated as on former
occasions, yet it is calculated that very large
vote was brought out. We have heard very
few predictions TO the result, probably for the
reason that, as the State has so uniformly given
wbg majorities, il is conceded fact that the cleo
tion this year will not vary the political
plexion of the State In 1851, the vote for Govern
o stood as follows
Williams, whg. =. BIO Robinson dem. ..... .6,S07
Redh.ld freesoil 1902 Scattering. As
II will be seen by the above, that Williams msjo
rity was 1,244; but the relative position of the
democroticand feesoil parties is, this year, different
from what it was last, and much larger demo
cratic vote was no doubt polled. The following
we're the candidates for Governor, Lieutenant Co.
vernon and State Treasurer

The few returns Of the Vermont election, yester-

definite conclusion to the change in party feeling
although it is probable that both the wings and
Old line democrats had great accessions from the
free soil ranks.
Last evening a wing meeting took place in vii.

persons The enthusiasm and interest manifested
very slight; and in all justice, the affair may

According to our Fischbdrg despatch, the dele

After an unusual number Of ballots and a great /
amount OF pickering, they had, last night got the

throughout the country generally manage to settle
their intestine quarrels before the day Of election
We observe that l. Hine has been nominated
for Congress by the free democracy, or Hale party
in Hamilton county, Ohio. They have also put
forth candidates of their own for county Off ,es
Had Chase been nominated instead Of Hale for the
Presidency, this party would probably have done |
better in Ohio.
The Wing candidate having Withdrawn from the
contest the House Of Representatives of Missouri
