TIE CHINESE IN CALrFoRNIA.-Ef- forts have been made in California and Australia to keep out Chinese emigrants, but there is no doubt that they will uIti- mately fail, neither country can long do without this cheap labor, and will be glad to tolerate il, however degraded and vis- cous the people may be.
 The act to restrict the immigration of Chinese into California, went into opera : ton on the lst of October. The penalty, fine and imprisonment falls on the masters and owners of vessels disobeying the law. Several ships are on their way from Hong Kong with passengers, but it is generally believed that the act will be held by the Supreme Court 10 be unconstitutional Above that view, if the treaty recently made with China guarantees protection 10 natives of that country in the United States, .he law of California it would seem, must give way before the treaty.

On the 12th inst, at the residence of his son-n-law, Daniel Harshaw, Esq, near flick ory Plain, Prairie county, Ark, ALLEN D0WDLE, Esq, aged 63 years.
 The deceased removed in January last from Prairie county to Conway county, Arkansas has been resident of Arkansas since 1852. In all lhe relations of life he was highly es- teemed. On the 27th of July last, Mrs. Mar tha M. Dowdle, his wife, died at the same place, while on visit to her two daughters residing in this county. Is it not strange that these two estimable old people should each have been called hence while on visit to their children. How often it is in the jour ney of life that joyful meetings are followed by sorrowfu partings. Bat '.there remaineth a rest for the people of God" and the rela- tiyes of both the deceased, certainly have a full assurance that they have gone to enjoy that full fruition which is reserved for those who "have laid up treasure in Heaven" M.

LEGIsLATIvE.-By reference 10 a sym opsis of the proceedings of the Legislature, It will be observed that the members are at work in good earnest.
 On the 10th inst, Hon. ". K. SEHzs. THAN was reelected 10 the U. S. Senate. In our support of Gen. HEMpsrEAp, for that position, we have nothing to regret. If the members of the Legislature are sat. isfied that Judge SEBASTIAN Is the better man of the two, under he circumstances we can bear all the disadvantages of beng represented in the U. s. Senate by him. with as good, if not better grace than those who have been instrumental in keep. ing him in office during his natural life. But let the past be buried in oblivion, and we will hope for better luck next time"
 Hon. c. c. Soorr has been reelected to the Supreme Bench of the State.
 We are pleased to announce the re- election unanimously, of Col J. ". McCoNAuGHEY to the office of Land At torney and State Collector for the State. We certainly could not be better pleased in the selection of a public officer. Col. McConaughey is a gentleman of fine abilities and always looks we'll to the in. terests of the State.

From the Fort Smith Herald, 18th inst. Arrival of the Overland Mail from
 San Francisco.

The Overland Mail from San Fran cisco arrived here on Wednesday nor hing last, having been out p days and some hours, with six passengers. This is the 9th through stage from California, having had no detention from the Indians, but there is no dependence to be placed in the wild Indians, and U. S. Troops are 10 be placed along the entire route.
 We received two copies of the daily San Francisco Bulletin of the 18th and 18th Oct, from which we extract the fol- lowing:
 ARRIVAL AND RECEPTION OF THE SECOND OVERLAND MAIL CoAcH.-The Second Over land Mail Coach arrived in this city yester- day afternoon shortly after o'clock, (having left St. Louis on the goth September,) and was received by the citizens with enthusiasm. The news of the arrival of the mail at San Jose was telegraphed at about II o'clock in the morning, and as it spread among the citi- zens, public expectation was aroused, and the | most lively interest was excited. It was un- derstood that the coach would arrive about l half past o'clock, and long before that hour the streets were thronged by thousands of people, congregated to welcome it. num- bor of persons also mounted fast horses and | lOue out lo meet IL.
 | At a quarter after o'clock the coach turned from Market into Montgomery street The driver blew his horn and cracked his whip; at which the horses, four in number almost seemed to partake of his enthusiasm and dashed ahead at clattering pace; and the dust flew from the glowing wheels. At the same time shout was raised. that ran with the rapidity of an electric flash along Mont gomery street, which throughout it's length was crowded by an excited populace. As the coach dashed along through the crowds the hats of the spectators were whirled in the ail and the hurrah was repeated from thousand throats, responsive to which, the driver, the lion of the occasion, doffed his weather beaten old slouch, and in uncovered dignity, like the victor of an Olmpic race. guided his foaming team towards the Post Office. It is safe to say that no returning conqueror, loaded with bar barrie spols ever called forth a more unani- nous burst of applause than did the dust-be- grimed Delos Cole, "w who brought the good news"
 As the coach sped along Montgomery street Monumental Engine Co.,, Ne fired a salute in honor of the event from the Plaza. As it reached the Post office, at the instance of Postmaster Weller, the assembled crowd gave three cheers. After delivering the mails, the coach proceeded to the Plaza where more cheers were given and more enthusiasm ex hibited.

FROM CALIF0RNIA-BY OVERLAND
 MAIL

We are indebted to ED. s. MowRY. Esq, who came passenger by the Over land Mail, for an extra of the San Fran cisco fila CaIJornia, of the 25lh Oct, from which we make the following ex- tracts:
 GEg% Since the departure of the overland mail of the 22d, the storm which was then ra ging, has been followed by another, which commenced at sundown on the evening of the 23d, and continued during the greater part of the night. During no previous year since the discovery of gold has so much rain fallen in the month of October.
 f4P Ebenezer Thayer, late from Boston, committed suicide on the night of the 2Ith by swallowing over an ounce of laudanum.-- He was S8 years of age. No cause is assigned for the fatal deed.
 G- By this mornings mail, there go by the Overland route to St. Louis, E. J. Bacon J. W. Thomas, Hiram Sparlin and J. M. Woodworth. For Memphis-Ed S. Mowrv and two from San Jose. For Los Angelos- C. E. Roundtree.
 GY heavy rain commenced on the night of the 2Tst, and visited all parts off ttiif tiif from which we have heard The miners have been driven from several of the river beds
 GSE' It is reported that rich gold mines have been found on the Gila.
 ery The mail steamer of the 20th. carried off S2,177,39l f5 which com oared with the shipment of October goth. 1857, (S1. .697. .042 3S) exhibits an excess of S480,347 or, or nearly half million of dollars. The combir ed shipments of October this year, amount to S4 o2l,5l2 02, which compared with the shlp- ment of October. 1851, S3.704,A32 36, will show an excess this year of S323,6 ,679 G6.

WHITE RIVER MAILS, &c.-We trust that no one will neglect to sign the petition below, which will be found at the Post Office. The White River Mail Line is our only dependence for the re- ception of mail matter from the Misss- sippi, While Arkansas river has been provided with Mail Agents, White river has been entirely neglected.
 We have at Des Are a tri. weekly line of mail coaches 10 Fort Smith-also, a horse mail from Des Arc to Cotton Plant, from Des Arc to Scarcy, from Des Arc to Brownsville, and from Des Arc to Oak. land Grove. Thus far, neither of these mails connect with the river mail boats We are made subservent, in all matters pertaining to our mails, 10 Little Rock The time Is defined that the Mail boats shall arrive and depart from Aberdeen and the line runs from Napoleon to that point weekly, and from thence to Jack. sonport semi-weekly. Postmaster Gener- al BROWN, through the negligence oI our delegation in Congress, has not been made aware of the injustice con. tinually practieed towards this section o the State, and from recent indications we will be compelled to suffer until other in. nuences than those which have heretofore existed, can be made to bear at Washing. ton. Mail matter for the Western portion of the State is yet sent, Uia. Little Rock while if proper connections were made here with the stage line to Fort Smith, i would reach it's destination without delay and in much less time than it does al present.

Aing, Republican '..... ...... 264.4tO

 Brooks, Know Nothing. ......1 13O,S70
 It will be seen that MT. Parker. the Democratic candidate, was beaten 66 ,0O0 votes. This year he is again candidate |; and It IS claimed that he has been beaten by Morgan { (Repuh can) from 10000 to 2O,OoO majority. The large Know Noth- ing vote of l30000 for Brooks, 1856, has thls year been cast pretty strongly for Morgan. The whole Know Nothing vote will mol, probably be over 50000. The Democrats, although unsuccessful in New York, have, therefore. made a good figh m reducing the majority against Parle from 6G.000 in 1856, to 10000 or 20,00( in 1858.

ILLINoIs.-There seems to be no doubt that the Legislature of Illinois will con- tain majority of five in each house in favor of the reelection of Judge Douglas 10 the Senate of the United States over the candidate of the Aboitionists, Mir.

Judge Douglas has some friends even among the Democracy in Tennessee, who while disa' greeing with him on some points, strongly sympathize with him in his contest witt Lincoln, and believe that his future polit. ical life will be without reproach. While we have none of that generous conf. dence" which excuses error with the hope of future amendment. we shall yet be glac 10 see the hopes of our friends rather thar our own fears realized.
