ARRIVAL OF THE , -
ILLINOIS-
TWO WEEKS LATF.H FROM
CALIFORNIA.
The steamship Illinois, from Chagres, ar
rived at New York, bringing twelve day
later news from California, the California
Vnails to the 16ih or May, ana 500 pas
sengers. The Illinois brings nearly 82,000,000 In
fcolil dual, on freight and in the hand of
assengers.
The whole trip occupied but twenty-five
Maya.
The Legistnlure ttdjotirncd oh iho 6ih ult ,
lifter A Very protracted session of four
Vrtonlhs.
The publie feeling awakened In "lie
Wines on the subject of Chineso emigration, j
) the famous Cooley bill and subsequent
discussions on the subject) threatened at one
time to lead to unpleasant results The
numbers and chancier of this people, in the
State, were exaggerated and misrepresented
to such an extent that in some districts the
miners determined to check the evil before
it became intolerable ; and, as the Legisla
ture had negler.lcd to do anything in the
premises, they fell called upon, in self de
fence, in several . instances, to notify the
Chinese to leave the mines. This move
ment has not been generul by any meansi
nnd even in the few instances that have oc
enned, there was no haishnew used. The
miners hold meetings, adopted their course
of policy, put up the mining claims of I lie
Chinamen at auction, gave the owners the
piocecds of the fates, ami told them to go
sway, la the hands of leas considerate,
just and liberal people than California mi
ners, here would have been danger that
the exercise of such a power would eventu
ally be abused, and the unfortunate Asiatics
ilriven to-want anil suffering ; bul such has
not been the case.
This is a sort of predif position in Lower
California to perpetuate hostility with the
Yumas and other warlike tribes on the
southern borders.
The state of things is favored upon several
considerations not the least of which is a
love of the excitement of Indian wai fare
especially when it is not very bloody. A
tlatachmeut of U. S. infantry and dragoons
recently returned to San Diego, from a three
months' campaign to the Gila and Colorado.
This expedition, commenced by llajor
lleintleman and Major Fitzgerald, was one
of very considerable hardship and privation
though not attended with any real fullering,
bat one of tenor and devastation to the sav
ages. Advices from all parts of the mining dis
tricts are highly fuvorable. In placer, or
surface mines, which, two years ago, with
the imperfect machinery then in use, would
not have yielded an income rqiiiil to the ex
penses of living, miners ate now making
rom four to ten dollars per day. Karth that
will yield two cents per bushel, or, in min
ing phraseology, a cent a bucket, can be
very profitably woiked.
Loiters have been received, giving pretty
certain information that a Filibuster move
ment is intended from California upon the
Sandwich Inlands. Tho particulars of this
expedition are not yet public, but it is said
to bo on a largo scab', and to bo managed,
so far, with some skill as well as energy.
THE NOMINATIONS.
News begins to reach us fiom the South ;
nod here we find that the same degree of
enthusiasm prevails there which has been
manifested at the North. The Goldsborough
(X. C ) Tut riot says, that
"The best endorsement tf Franklin Pierce
will be found in the fact that Virginia nomi
nated him in the Convention, all the South
supported him at once, and if anything more
is required, it will be found in the fact that
Win. U. King, of Alabama, was selected for
Vico President. No better endorsement
ron Id any man receive, than the facts that
William U. King consents to serve on the
same ticket. Cheerfully, boldly, and trium
phantly do we hoist the Hag."
Tho Spirit of Jefferson, at Chaileston, in
Virginia, thus endorses (lie nominations :
"Tho Democratic party united, aid iuvtin
nciable, and we declare our honest convic
tions, from being an rye witness to the
struggle of the past week, that the noniina
will unite more closely the Democratic party
of the Union, and carries with it more cer
tain indications of success, than any ticket
that could have been presented by that
Convontion to the American people."
The Richmond Examiner, in speaking as
well for Viiginia as for the South generally,
says:
'The united Democracy of tho Confedera
. cy from Maine to California, will labor with
zeal and enthusiasm, to secure the election
of Pierce and King. The omens are oil
auspicious. The signal triumph awaits our
efforts ; ami in our triumph is involved tho
security of tho South, and tho best interests
of the whole country.
The Richmond Enquirer, that old and
sterling supporter of the Democracy, says :
"The nomination of Gen. Franklin Pierce
. has met the decided approbation of every
democrat in our city. We have yet to hear
the first murmer of dissatisfaction. Tho
balloting will thow how manfully the dele
gation of Viiginia blood by Gen Pierce as
their second choice, when fully impiesscd
with the impossibility of obtaining the nom
ination of their first choice; and how Gen.
- Pierce eventually received the nomination
of the Convention. The nomination is a
jhoroughly national one. The friends of
Gen. Cass prefer him to all others, as a sec
ond choice, and those of Mr. Buchanan and
Mr. Douglass are cqally satisfied. Gen
. Pierce, it is honestly believed, will unite
the Democratic party of the coontry more
fully than any other candidate.
JVtwroaT. The Newport Daily News
says that daring the last twelve months four
hundred ihoasanJ dollars worth of real estate
has been sold in that loan, tc gentlemen

LINES.
Like the hues of tho rainbow that pencil can

As they glow in the sky o'er the canvass por-
There are'houahts In the heart that must
sleep there forever,
For language but fritters their moaning
away ;
Of love and of anguish the deepest of foelinp,
Must bprn in the bosom, yet never consume,
As volcanic fires, which earth, long conceal

They err who believe that affection Is sleep

spoken.
And think grief exists but in moaning and
weeping,
Nor know thai tho spirit is silent that's bro

Tho wildest of storms may upheave the wild

While green hill and valley in calmness re

Though slrn-jc'cs the heart with keen ago

Si-NBi-RY, June 1S52.
APPEARANCE AND IIAIIITS OF GEN.
l'lKIU E.
Everybody, of course is anxious to know
something about the personate of the man
who is to be our next President. He is not
Tar Trom five feel, eleven inches, in height,
and finely, proportioned. His face is impres
sive and commanding, and beaming all over
with the light of intellect nnd energy. Wo
have never seen a countenance which exhib
its more lofty purpose, zeal, and undisguised
frankness. With a mind of the highest or
der, and harmoniously developed, lie com
bines the suavity of a child. His habits are
those of a man who believes there is a great
deal to be done, and very little time to do it
in. He is forever at work, and we may safe
ly say, that from Iho first time he entered
public life, no man has spent his powers
more profusely, in carrying out what was al
lotted to him, than Gen. Tierce.
As an orator we will pin him against any
body in Ihe country but his arguments are
none the less compact for tho beauty of dic
tion and the elegance of his gesture. InTjis
love of country, ho is a perfect enthusiast.
Had he a dozen lives to give they would bo
freely yielded up nt her shrine. This salient
feature of his character he may have inherit
ed from his father, who was a General in
tho Revolutionary war, and, we may add, was
Governer of New Hampshire. We delight
in being thus particular (though wo have not
said nil that wo shall say.) Cleveland Plain
Dealer
Army Istf.lmgknrf.. Advices from the
Pacific division of the army, just received,
convey intelligence to as late a date as the
4lh Ap;il from Port Yuma at the mouth of
the Gila river Major Heinlclmnn, who
commands that post, stales that the Yuma In
dians entertain very hostile feelings towards
the whiles, and have for somo time manifest
ed so fierce and ready a disposition to fight,
that he has found it necessary to send out
several expeditions against them. The troops
sent had killed some of the Indians, had
burned their towns, destroyed their crops,
and inspired them with such a salutary fear,
that Ihey now keep at a distance, and fly at
tho approach of any militajy force. The
general commanding Ihe Pacific division
speaks in high terms of commendation of the
services of Major Heiir.celman and his com.
maud, Captain Steele, o! the second infantry,
and Assistant Surgeon Griffin.
A Sailor's Idea of Faith and Goon.
Works. One evening, as 1 was on the spar
deck wailing for my "chum" to come out
of the cabin I was amused with the follow
ing conversation between a boatswains mate
anil a foretopman. They were talking of
one that was dead, and after the boatswain
had said :
"Well, ho is in heaven, poor fellow" the
foretopman replied.
"I wonder Bill whether I shall ever go to
heaven."
''Why not 1" said the boatswain's mate.
"Because the parson says its faith and
gooil works that takes a man- there ; now
I've plenty of faith in our navy, and have
been in action, ae often as any man of my
age ; and have killed my share of men."
'.Mate, that's sufficient, I should think I
hold my hopes upon just the same claims,
I've cut down twenty men in my lime,
and if that oiut good work I don't know
whst is"
,:I suppose Decatur's in heaven.
,;Of course if so be he wishes to be there
I should like to know who would keep him
out, ii ne was uciermineu on it. An, no,
depend upon it, ho walked right slap in."
Gf.n. Pikrce's Generosity. In addition
to Ihe facts about Gen. Pijrce, which have
been given to the public since the adjourn
ment of Ihe Convention, wo are iulornncd
by a personal friend, who was the surgeon
of one of tho ten regiments, that ufter the
battles of Conlreras and Chiirubusco, Gen.
Pierce, in visiting the hospitals crowded with
wounded soldiors, expressed his feeling by
distributing a large sum of money among
Iho unhappy sufferers ; and when he return
ed, on receiving a balance of pay of $210
he added SCO to it, and expended it among
his men. He also by his influence or puise,
procuned them (roe passages by the rail
road. Ho sent money to many old soldiers.
