The Overland Immigration.

Messrs. Alexander and Norton, with a
large party of German Immigrants arrived
at Sacramento on the 4th of August, having
left Weston, Missouri, on the 2Sth of Al pr1I.
They gave the following account of their
trip:
The weather during almost the entire
journey has been dry and pleasant. There
was no RAIN experienced on the Platte, and
none In fact until within thirteen miles oil
Fort Kearny. There was a scarcity of
water beyond Fort Kearny, hut the party
suffered little inconvenience, and all came
through In the enjoyment of Uninterrupted
health. None Of the stock was stolen or
lost, neither did any die of fatigue.
The emigration, our informant says, is
by no means as large as usual, and his
means oil Judging OF the numbers on the
route are the more correct from the fact that
this is the third season that he has crossed
tie plains.
The Indians gave not the slightest trouble,
In fact, comparatively few OF them were
seen. Tne stock when turned out were all
leather .hobbled, besides being watched
over bya strong giard, but none of them
were ever molested by theIndians.
The streams were all unusually low
The Big Blue, this side of StsJoseph, usu-
ally not fordable at that season of the year,
did not come above the.horses knees at the
time this party crossed it.
The bridge across the North Platte is a
fine and substantial structure, 800 feet IN
length, The South Platte was fordable.
There was no difficulty experienced in
crossing the desert, feed having been laid
In at Salt Lake.
Messrs. Alexandera and Norton arrived
at Carson Valley on the 18th ult; the a.

Whereas, we, the members of the Kan

Lieut.. Beckwith and party Of the Gem
trail Pacific Railroad Expedition returned in
the Star of the Westr The party arrived at
Sacramento on the Sd of August from Salt
Lake City, via. the Humboldt and Fort
Reading, having left the former place on
tue 9th OF May, and the latter on the 1st
OF August. The Sacramento Union four
nIshes the, following interesting record:
Lieut.. Beclkwith, with his assistant rsl1r-
veyors and attaches to the corps, consisting
in all of sixty souls, arrived at the great Salt
Lake City in November, 1853. In April
of the present year, the Lieut.. with his
party went Eastward again, as far as the

The Drought <xasd Fires:

The Eastern papers are filled with ac-
counts of the frightful ravages of fire, con-
|sequent upon the protracted drought that has
prevailed over the. whole country.
In Maine, large districts of country have
been laid waste by the devouring element,
and great losses Of property have been sus-
tained. So general and extensive has been
the conflagration, that in some localities
numbers of persons, chiefly females, have
become insane In consequence of excite
ment, the result of belief that the gener.
al fire In the woods there is the sign of
speedy ending of the world, in accordance
with the predictions off the Millerites. Some
have been taken to the Asylum.
We clip the following from an eastern
Exchange:
"The forest fires along the valley Of the
St. Lawrence river, in Canada, have been
so much more extensive than usual this sea-
son, that the density of the smoke has at
times seriously impeded navigation. In
consequence OF this tine steamer Bay State
grounded on the 26th ult., on the Ogdens-
burg bar, and lay there about twenty-four
hours, until three other steamers arrived,
and by their united efforts succeeded in
dragging her off,"
Bears, deer, Elk and other wild deni.
zens of the mountains, the forests of which
are on fire, are migrating in large bodies
to more comfortable quarters and astonish-
ing the Oldest inhabitants, within whose
recollection no such visitors have appeared
among them. In the New England States,
the prerailing drought is without parallel,
and viii cause much distress In the West
we hare an abundance for home consump-
ton, though by no means the usual guam
tity Tor expectation. The wheat, hay, and
oat crops OF the West. were above an ar-
arage and viii make up m some degree
the deficiency in the yield of corn. The
oak and hazel mast is unus ually abundant,
and will aid materially In ieeding hogs for
pork. : =,

! From the mining sections Of the State
we have the usual records of lucky strikes,
big Jumps, SC. The scarcity OF water, how
ever appears to be serious drawback just
at present In the field of industry. Some
OF the papers are of opinion that the aver
age amount OF gold produced this year, will
be fully up to that of last year, if it does not
exceed it, though the expectations of the
precious metals viii be less on account OF

From California.

The Star of the West arrived at New
York on the Sth inst, bringing California
dates of August 10Th. She brought ST.
022 2,016in treasure and $50 passengers.
Among the passengers are Gov Davis,
Of Oregon, Lieut.. E. G. Beckwith, Capt.
Morris, Lieut.. Baker, Dr. Scbein and Mr..
Snyder, of the Central Pacific Railroad,
surveying party, and Major Heintzelman,
Lieut.. Mclean and Lieut.. O'Donnell, of
the I'd Infantry, U. S. army.
She brings the important intelligence
that Canton has been surrounded by the
rebels and that the foreign residents had
left the city.
There has been another destructive fire
in California, by which the town of Ridwell,
the county seat of Butte county, was nearly
destroyed.
Political matters remain much the same
as at the departure of the previous steamer.
The San Francisco Times and Transcript
asserts with much confidence that Messrs.
Latham and McDougall, who were nomi-
mated for reelection to Congress, will, upon
their return to California, retire from the
contest, and that by this measure the Dem
ocratic party will once more become har-
monious unit. On the other hand the San
Francisco Herald insists that all hopes of a
compromise have been given up, and looks
upon the chances as altogether in favor OF
Wings carrying the State, unless the
know Nothing" movement should inter-
fere Herewith. This latter association, it
appears, has organized in San Francisco,
Sacramento, Stockton, Marysville, and sew
eral other of the interior towns, and it is
represented to be formidable both in num-
hers and influence.

Several Of the newspapers Of the Middle
and Southern States are working them
selves into fearful passion and giving vent
10 all sorts Of linguistic enormilies, upon
che hypothesis that FRED. DoueLAs 10 about
to be elected TO Congress, in the place Of
GERRIr SMITH, whose resignation takes ef.
feet at the close Of the present session
This business Of borrowing trouble, for the
sake Of getting up an Indignation and put
ting the world in fume, is very common
practice with politicians and party journals
now days; and we are able, in this case,
TO enjoy all the eloquencs 10 which 30 dark

to allow his name TO be used-whether the
people Of his district will consent to use it

he can be elected, has to be sscertsired; ;
and yet the bare mention Of the possibility
that he may hang up his hat as a member
of Congress, has afflicted some with convul-
sions, others With panic, and more with sn
astonishing flow Of exceedingly select and
nervous language.
We confess, we have no anxiety TO see
any Of DoueLAs family occupying seats in
Congress. They are an active race, and
inclined TO be ambitious, fanatical and mis-
chievous. or the two who are the best
known, FRED is probably the most talented.
and STEPHEN the most Inscriptions.
While, as orators, both are exceedingly
fluent, Fred has an eloquence to which
Stephen cannot pretend, any while the
former is, with one exception, the most i'm.
pudent individual in the Union, the later is
that exception. In regard to the sectional
character Of their sentiments, they do not
greatly differ-the one being a Southern
man, with Northern principles, and the
other Northern man, with Southern prin-
clpies Nor are they, in blood, as far re-
moved as might at first appear, Fred being
Anglo Saxon upon the side Of his father,
while Stephen may be said to be eminently
worthy of an euIogy similar to that pro.
nounced by the negro over his master, that
"if he was a white man, he had a black
heart"
