Ihr Island Of san Juan.

SHALL IT BE SURRENDERED TO GREAT BRlIAiN.
We have read with interest some correspon-
dence recently submitted to the U. 5. Senate
by Hon. J. Gregory Smith, President Of the
Northern Pacific Railroad, in reference to the
San Juan Island question This island is at the
extreme northwest corner Of Washington Terri
tory, at the entrance of Puget Sound. and is Of
great consequence, as its possession involves the
control Of that Sound on which viii be the Vest
ern terminus of the Northern Pacific road.
Mr.. Smiths letter is as follows:
WASHINGTON, Feb. -, 1869.
DEAR SIE As the consideration Of the treaty
recently made by the United States minister,
MIR. johnson, embracing the San Juan island
question: will soon be, if it Is not already, before
the United States Senate. beg leave to hand
you two communications bearing upon the sub
ject which contain much valuable information,
as the authors are personally familiar with the
Pacific coast the one from the Hon. George
Gibbs, who has resided in Washington Territory
some Il years, having been connected with the
northwest boundary survey as geologist; and
the other from G. Clinton Gardner, ESQ, the
assistant astronomer and engineer Of the expedi
ton.
These gentlemen speak from personal know
ledge, Mr. Gardner having himself surveyed the
water-lne between British America and the
United States. AS well as all the channels exist
ing between the various islands in the gulf Of
Georgia and the archipelago of de Iaro.

ONE DAY.


We said our love would last, we knew,
Such love as ours could but be true.
And time, and change, and stormy weather,
Would bind US closer still together.
How well that day do I remember,
Twas bright, and fair, and IN September;
We sat beneath the elm trees shade, rs-
And vows and promises we made. .y -
You said, while just tinge of sadness,
Bedimmed your eyes-else bright with gladness,
"Dost think, dear Nell, thou'lt always be y
AS much in love, as now, with mel"
"And, pardon-but art sure you do ff
Love me, cen now, as I love Youl"
And then-lest you had spoke amiss-
Stopped all reply with hurryins kiss.
Then laughed and said, 'dear Nell you know
I did not mean exactly So
But then-my love for you is such,
Iscarce can hope yours is as much"
Iwept little, remember,
On that bright day in fair September; 7-
And you were glad TO dry the tears,
That swept away your loving fears.
"oi love-" said, 'how glad I'd be -r
To die, and prove my love for thee"
Your lips, caressing mine so nigh,
Begged me to live for you-not die"
All, velll how clearly remember .s..
That bright; fair day, in that September,
When, meath the elm shade, you and
Questioned our hearts, and kissed reply.
How sad, and strange, and bitter too,
Are thoughts of then, and thoughts of you;
For brittle VOWS we made that day,
And lived to find our idols clay.
Yet still, cannot help remember
That happy day, in fair September,
When meath the elm-shade, you and I,
Questioned our hearts and kissed reply.
