AR,zoyA.-T1e Warrington Unios Of the 10th
rst is rdebt,d Lieut. MowIy for the follow e1-
tracts from letter describing the condition Of Affairs
ia the Gao sden Purchase The writer Is one Of the
oldes, residents of that gon and intelligent and
reliable man. Lieut. Mowry has letters from other
parties to the same general effect lie has aIresoy
presented mass evidence 10 the Secretary OF Sate
upon the subject of his mission, and is full Of conf
dence that Congress sill organize Territorial dov-
eminent over that country:
"GADsDrS PURCHASE, July 20, 1857.
1.-THE condition Of the Purchase has been extremely
bad since the unfortunate and pjudcious expedition
of Crabbe into Sonora and at the present time but
little better than field of guerilla warfare robbery
ard plunder. The exasperated state Of feeling be-
tween the Mexicaps and Americans prevents inter
course ard commerce, upon which the Territory Is en-
tirey dependent Americans are afraid - venture
into Sonora for supplies, and Mexcsns afraid to Ven-
ture over the line. =, .,,
clustering invasion have been treat badly in Sonora,
and driven out of the country; and Mexicsas coming
into the Purchase with supplies and animals have been
robbed and pundered by the returned hlhbusters.
THE Americans in the Territory are by no means
harmonious these subjects some IN favor OF hii,
clustering and others opposed to III some in favor OF
numbering and robbing Mexcans wherever found, and
others opposed TO il 1t results that we are in state
of anarchy; there is no government no protection 70
life, property business no law aud no sehrespect
or morality among the people. We are living ~
perfect state of nature without the restraining inna,
e1ce of civil or military law, the ameliorson Of
society.
"Ihere have not been mary conflicts and murders,
because every goes armed to the teeth and dit
ficulty is always fatal on one side or the other.
"In the midst Of all this the Government has blessed
us with custom. house Callabszss to collect duties
upon the necessaries of life, which, by chance sad
running the gauntlet, may get from Sonora. God
send that we had been left alone With the Apaches;
we should have been a thousand times better Oh in
every respect.
In this state of affairs il is scarcely to be expected
that the people will meet together in a convention.
There was no arrangement for that purpose up 10 the
time of nv leaving and none could be made. We
have never had any orders of election from Santa Fe,
nor heard OF any convention We are as far removed
fiom the Rio Gande as from the Atlantic in communi-
cation .
drew the bill introduced into the
Senate last Congress he is unfit representative OF
our interests That bill would not give satisfaction to
any interest.
Settlers want Spanish grants confirmed, 90 they
can buy piece of land and hold it-not to bs en-
coursged to squat upon grants then finally be elected
as in California.
{" The treaty guarantees the validity OF Mexicsn
grants. Miners want the privilege Of preenption ON
mines abandoned or otherwise, to the extent OF 30O
wards on the vein for each mantle mother vein 70
hold the branches by owners paying $50 TOR every o
yards."
Other advices speak of the rapidly increasing popi-
aiion of Arizona by immigration from California aud
the South States aud the earnest prayer Of
the people that Congress will take early steps to
organize and protect the Territory.
