By the arrival yesterday of the Mexican
brig Arizona, Capt. Newman, in % days
from Mazatlan, we learn that the inhabi-
tants of that place, as well as others in
the neighborhood, are in very unsettled
state, and almost every person was in
favor Of the late revolutionary movement
in Acapulco and other placeSs 1t was
rumored the day the Arizona sailed, that
the States of chihuahua and Zacatecas had
declared in favor of General Alvarez, at
Acapulco, and they were all more or less
opposed to the movements Of Gen. Santa
Anna. In fact, in Mazatlan, the people
were murmering, but had not the courage
to speake openly. There WAS only one
paper published in that place, (the Espe-
ranza,) and even that had its columns
controlled by the friends of >nnta Anna.
The greatest activity prevailed in Mazat-
Ian in regard to forwarding troops to
Lower California to cut off COL Walker
and his party. Eight hundred had al
ready sailed for that purpose, and about
400 more were to follow in a few days
for the same destination, under the com
mand of Gen. Yanez. The Spanish bark
Linda, was in port with 500 troops on
hoard to sail in three days. The last
news heard from Col. Walker, was that
he was on his way to Sonora.-S F Her.

Gov. Stevens Address on the
Pacific RailrOad.

The speaker went into an elaborate and
somewhat statistical argument to show
that three roads could be built, connecting
the Pacific with the Atlantic States, not
only with profit, bot that they would he
absolutely necessary for the wants of com
merce and the public. The southern
route into, San Diego, from Texas, was
one which he believed from the reports of
the engineers who had made the recon-
nolssances, was perfectly practicable -
The next was a route from the Missouri
State line, known as the central route,
into the Sacramento Valley, and com
municating with this city; and the third
was the route which he had made under
Government orders himself explored dur
ing the past summer. The last named
route he considered not only ms practical
BILE, but as admirably adapted by nature
for the purposes of a national road, such
as this should be. 1t extended from the
valley Of the great lakes on the Atlantic
side, to the valley of the Columbia on
this side. San Francisco and Olympia
were designed and must become the great
ports on this coast, and by this plan both
would be accommodated.
He then gave an account of the explOra-
ton of himself and his command during
last season, and showed most conclusively
that the great bug bear-snow-w which
had been SO pertlnaciously urged against
this route, did not exist. He said he had
caused explorations to he made on both
sides Of the Rocky Mountains, between
the parallels Of 81 deg. and 40 deg, during
the past winter, and there was no mpedi-
ment to horse travelling through the
mountains at any time. There were 40
grades oyer so feet. and the extreme sum-
nit did not exceed 5000 feet, Icing much
less than the South Pass. He further
stated that from his exploration he was
satisfied that the waters Of the Missouri
could he navgated within 500 miles of the
nav gable waters of the Co unbia.
He gave some details of his trip-spoke
of the Indians, and said that all that was
necessary in regard to them was to act
honestly and justly by them, and we need
have no fears concerning them. The
Blackfeet Indians had treated himself and
party with great kindness. Salt Lake,
he urged, should be made a point on the
route. In this northern route, he said ,
not only American but Canadian interest
was deeply involved.
lie tnen argued tnat IT was our DUTY 10
see that our Government placed our re-
lations with the Indians on Il firm footing
and that the whole people Of the Pacific
should urge upon the General Govern
ment the necessity Of making The most
thorough explorations throughout the
whole country. They were, thus far,
very few and very imperfect. He was
now gong to Washington to urge these
matters upon the attention Of Govern
ment.-4S. f. .7dvertiser.
