MEXICAN NEws.--By the arrival of the Jno.
L. Stephens, we are IN possession OF full files
Of Mexican papers. up to December 3 ; fourteen
days later than last advices. Manuel Gandara
Governor of Sonora, is making vigorous pre-
parations to receive the F'illibusters with mark
ed attention. A large number of Mexicans
and Yacki Indians, who are his personal de-
pendants, were busy at work fortifying the port
of Guaymas, and a considerable body of troops
were in march for Sonora, and were to be COM
manded by General Yanez, who had no doubt
arrived in that State ere this.
Santa Anna had offered the grand cross of
the new Order of Guadalupe to Seneres Juan
B. Ceballos,and Marcelino Castenado, Judges
of the Supreme COnrt; but. those gentlemen
had refused the intended honor under the plea
that their circumstances would not allow them
to bear the necessary expenses accompanying
it. The Dictator, thereupon, deprived them of
their offices, saying, if they were so poor that
they could not accept the honor, they were also
too poor to maintain their posts Of Supreme
Judges with dignity.
A pronunciamento had been issued in Quad
alupe making Santa Anna, Dictator for life,
with the title of Captain General, and the right
to appoint his successor. Several other states
had followed the example, and Santa Anna had
been slavored with the most fulsOme fattery in
the public prints.
Punishment and summary executions were
numerous, among the victims was Don Luis de
La Rosa, formerly Minister at Washington,
who was shot without even the form Of trial
1t is rumored that Mr.. Gadsden, our Minis
ter, is making terms with the Mexican Gov
ernment for the purchase of Chihuahua and
Sonora, and is likely to succeed in his desire.
Such an event would be of much benefit to
both countries
The Mexican papers are filed with accounts
of Indian depredations on their northern from
tier but apart from DEGREES and circulars, the
government seems to be perfectly Indifferent
on the subject.

the following diabolical case of a rape =
One of the infamous outrages thas ever
been our province to record, took place
yesterday afternoon. A man, or brute, or
demon, named Stenning, formerly an sat
tache" of the American Theatre, commit
ted rape on the person of a little girl
aged six years, the daughter of gentle
man named Hall, who keeps a public
house on Pacific street. The police are
on his track, and it is scarcely possible
for him to escape, although the william has
not yet beon apprehended. We have
never, since cur existence as public jour-
nal, been obliged to chronicle an event of
equal baseness and of so demoniacal a
type, except the desecration Of the dead
bodies in the Yerba Buena cemetery.

Das% A Rough & Ready correspondent ol
the Telegraph says in reference to the School
fund -
From the movements at Nevada, it would
seem that the citizens of that place are about
to obtain for themselves the use fall the school
fund due this county from the State, Imay be
mistaken in my understanding of the matter ;
but no less should the people Of Grass Valley
and Rough & Ready attend to their business,
and by so doing secure their share. We have
children enough, within reasonable distance,
to employ one teacher the year round who are
now running at large, and progressing rapidly
in street and bar-room education, according to
California style, celebrity and celebrity. Give
lis a stir,on the subject, anyhow Our people
may be Rough" enough, but / know they
arc alsoays" Ready"
We will inform all parties that the census Of
the children of Nevada township was taken
and the returns forwarded according to law.--
No claim has been made or can be made, for
more than that proportion of the fund that we
have children to represent. Some three months
ago we particularly urged upon Grass Valley
and Rough & Ready the necessity of taking a
census of their children, and applying for their
portion of the School fund. We have several
times since adverted to it. If these towns have
neglected their duty, it is now too late to repent
Those townships which have complied with the
hw do not get more or less money by the neg,

the returns were required to be handed in to the
