A letter from Sonora, dated June
18th, gives the following information:
This has been truly an eventiul
day. While quietly in the Office, at
tending to business, our ears were
suddenly startled by the quick report
of the unmistakable Colts six shoot
er. The streets was soon cleared,
and on taking look, ! saw the mar
shall, Mr.. Mcfarland, backing down
the street, exchanging shots with a
Chileno, whom he had attempted to
arrest. The Chileno was still adyanc-
ing, when one of the constables fred
and shot the assailent in the breast,
killing him dead. During this me-
lee the Mexicans and Chilenos at
tempted rescue, whereupont the fight
became general between them and
Americ ans, which resulted in the kill
ing of two Mexicans, and wounding
three others. The fight soon after
subsidized by the foreigners retreating.
It is expected that there will be a
general attack on the Americans to-
night, but if they should wake up the
Yankees, they will catch Tatar,'
as we are all prepared. Truly these
are exciting times.
Two of the murderers of Captain
Snow were arrested this forenoon
and on being tried and calmly con-
victed, they were taken off and hung
by the people. They were subse'
quently buried in the same grave
they had dug for their victim.
The people in their might are ris
ng,and the account they will have t.
settle with the murderers and thieves
who infest us will be a warning t
them in the future.
Murders occur frequently in Sono

appeared in Sonora Herald, part

Major Hamilton was told by an
officer of the army, in Sonora, that
in case the Mexican Government
failed to afford protection to the in
habitants Of that State, application
would be made to the United States
for annexation. Something must be
done, or the whole of Northern Next
co will be deserted.
Sonora affords the finest pasture
lands in the world, but here, as in the
adjoining States, the inhabitants are
in the greatest dread Of the Indians.
Nearly all the ranches have been de-
serted, and the people have fled to
the towns and villages. Sheep and
| attic were very scarce in Sonora.
A terrible row occurred at a new
town called Melnese, near Carsons
Diggings, about two abandoned fe-
males, in which one Or two Amerl-
cans and three or four Mexicans
were killed.
| A great many Mormons from the
Salt Lake Valley, have arrived in the

many Of the tribes are represented as
having committed numerous acts of
treachery. A company of volunteers
from Shasta Valley, and several 9th
er parties were in arms against the
Indians, who are represented as be-
ing brave and well armed. A fight
occurred between party of about
ten whites and thirty Indians in the
valley of Smiths River, in which
four OF the latter were killer Seve-
raj other skirmishes had taken place,
in which more or less were killed and
wounded.
The troops undercommand of Capt.
Reyes, U. S. Army, on escort duty to
the Indian Commissioners, arrived at
Los Angeles on the 10th, en- route for
their respective posts at Monterey
and San Francisco. The three COM
panies of the I'd Infantry under COM
mand of Major Heinzleman, former
ly stationed at Camp Yuma, Colora-
do river, have been withdrawn to San
Isabel, a point sixty miles from San
Diego for the protection of the ferry.
Juan Antonio, an Indian chief of
the Cahuillas, and who led the Indi-
ans in the attack upon Irving's men,
had become alarmed by statements
that a party was coming from Los
Angeles to destroy him and his tribe,
and had left his rancheria at Apoli-
tan on that account. On the I'd of
June he was met at the rancho of
San Bernadino, and a truce was
made with him.
From the Star we learn also that
Maj. Hamilton, who had been to
Durango, Chihuahua and Sonora, for
sheep, had returned to Los Angeles.
Three ofhis party had been killed by
the Apache Indians came into camp
with apparently friendly intentions
and said that they desired to trade
As soon as the company were put of
their guard, the Indians lanced and
killed Henry Schemidt, a German BY
birth, and an other man, name un
known.
This occurred at Aqua Prieta.-

dams, and the rest ran away. OI
the next day they met the Apaches
who held out white flag, and de-
clared that they desired peace will
the Americans. These and silnila
protestations induced Henry Gray
one of the party, to return to CAM
with the Indians and on the roa
they killed him as they had Schemid
and Arnold. Grey was from New
port, X, but for some time past ha
been residing at Ell Paso.
About the time Major Hamilto
passed through Santa Cruz, the Apa
ches made a charge into that towr
