An Island Seized.

A California paper states that Gen.
Harvey has ordered detachment of u
nited States troops to take possession OF
the island of San Juan, at the boundary
of the American and British territory,
and establish there military post. The
right of ownership to this and other isl
ands is in dispute between the English
and American Governments. Gen. Har-
ney, it is to be presumed, acts under in
situations from the administration and as
British interests have within year ac-
quired much importance in that quarter,
it is not unlikely that trouble will grow
out of the affair. The boundary line is
the channel of the straits of Fuca, which
are full Of islands, and the dispute arises
upon difference as to what is the chan
mel.

The Next Census.

Next year the eighth census OF the
United States is to be taken. This e.
numeration is one of the most laboriou,
ard difficult tasks which the Gosernmc ut
has to perform. A timely suggestion is
made By the National IDtellige gencer which
i. worthy of consideration, and which We
quote in the hope that it may be needed
before the census takers shall be called
upon to discharge their duties. The sus
gestion is tbi:
"That each farmer this fall. as he gath
ers his crops, shall keep something like
an accurate account of the quality and
value of the sane; and if be will take the
trouble, to make out statement Of the
name aud ages of his family; the number
of acres of laud cleared and iimbercd;
the number and ages of his servants; the
number aud value of his horses and mules;
the number Of bales OF cotton, barrels of,
corr, bushels of wheat, oats, rye, barley;
coru. potatoes, &c, and the value of each
and leave it in some place where any
member Of the family, who may be a;
home when the deputy marshall ehall call
can readily get hold of it. 1t will save
time to all concerned, and very greatly
assist TO make the census returns perfect
complete, aud satisfactory

Vermont Election.

MONTPELIER. VT, Tuesday, Sept 6 1859.
Our annual election of State Officers
and Members of the Legislature took
place to-day. Hiland Hall, the present
Governor, was voted for by the Republ.
cans and John G. SAKE, by the Demo
Gratis. There was no unusual interest
manifested, and the returns indicate the
reelection of the Republican State tick
ct By about the same majority as last
year; also small Republican gain to the
Legislature over last year.
In 2 towns the vote stands: For Gov.
ernor Hall, 6.226; SAKE. 2,657-Repub.
lican majority, 1850. Last year the re.
suit in the same towns was as follows -
Hall, 4.977; Keyes. 2,404.
In GO towns the Republicans have cleo.
ted 5 of their candidates, against 8 Dem.
ocrats, and onos no choice. Last year
the same towns elected 49 Republican:
aud 10 Democrats.

Specie still Going.

Last Saturday two steamers left New
York for Europe, taking with them four
teen hundred thousend dollars 10 specie.
We also see that since Jsnusry Grst no
less than S47 600, 600 were taken from
Now York, and $4,000 600 from Boston
we're carried out of the country. Up to
this time, therefore, about sixty millions
OF specie have left the country. A ques-
tion may here be put that needs some ex-
planation. How do the New York and
other city banks supply the loss of the
spicie they send to Europel From Cali
fornia New York has received for this
gear S2s 100000, consequently the 9TH
er $2s, ,000, 600 must have been drawn
from the country banks and Suhtrcasury
Our readers will thus see that while the
New York banks do keep up their full a
mount of specie, the country is being rob
bed to pay our excessive imports. The
question is, how long is this state of af
fairs to continue without bringing upor
US another financial crisis! 1t is we'll tc
keep this question in view at all times.

During the afternoon session, some res
olutions were introduced endorsing the
Administration of Buchanan, and recon.

S. S. Dreber, Esq, offered as an a
mcndmcut to the Resolutions, that th,
Cou'eDtion adjourn without passing auy

opposite faction, and a warm discussion
ensued. Finally the vote was taken upol
Mr. Drehers anenlDcnt, which resulted

Mr. Drehcr then offered another amend

word "Resolged" be stricken out, an,
others substituted, endorsing the Cincin

This amendment on being put to til
hou-e was likewise lost, and the vote be
iug taken upon the original Resolutions

However the opponents of the admin

light of victory, for the field was we
disputed; and shows what energy an
perse yerance may yet accomplish.
