The Golden Gate, Capt. Ishan,, arrived yester-
day morning, ffty-three hours from San Diego
She steamed up using, however, only her lar
board wheel. She looks in as fine condition as
ever, and leaks but very little. She will soon be
placed again on the Panama route. The steamer
Thomas Hunt, Capt Samson, sixty hours from
San Diego, arrived about the same time with the
Golden Gate. By these arrivals we have the
San Diego Herald of January %, containing la
ter and interesting news from the fllibuster
camp. On the eve of their march to Sonora the
army appears to have been in partial state of
mutiny. Below we publish the last proclamation
of President Walker.
ADDRESS TO THE ARMY.
SOLDIERS OF Sonora: You ure about to under
take most glorious enterprise. You start t.
cross the Colrado in order to defe nd a helpless
people from the attacks of merciless savages.--
For years the population of Sonora has been the
prey Of the Apache Indians. Their property has
been taken from then,-their wives and chill
dren have been massacred, or consigned to cap
aivity worse than death, by the torturing fire of
ruthless foe. The men of Sonora have been
forced to see their wives and daughters ravished;
and babes at the breast have been torn from their
mothers. and murdered before the eyes Of captive
parents. All these outrages, at which the civil
izasion of the whole continent bushes. have been
permitted by the whole Government which pre-
ends to control the people of Sonora. Mexico
has stood, and her silence and inactivity have SC
encouraged the Apache, that he now threatens te
ride into Guaymas, and render the whole country
from mountain to sea, subjects to its savage will
and tributary to its bestial desires. [
You, soldiers, are now called upon to wrest th'
country from the rule. Of the Aplche, and make i
the abode of order and civilization. 1t is posi-
ble that in your chivairous efforts you may be op
posed by the Mexican Government If you are
when YOU meet the enemy let the holiness of you

When you strike at Mexican foe, remembe
Tint YOU strike at an auxiliary of the Apaphe-a
an accessor to the murder Of innocent schildrei
and the rape ofihelpless women. Fill your. mind
with these ideas, and victory will follow you
the plains of Sonora. In such cause failure
impossible, and triumph certain, The God (
battles is with you,l and yo, will be strong, an
