Col. CRABB's I'LL STARRED SONORA ExPRp;-
T1oN.-Our files of California papers give full
particulars Of the sad fate the Crabb expedition
1t seems that Crabb was connected, by marriage,
with one Of the most powerful native families of
Sonora, and that on his visit to that place some
ten months ago he had several interviews with
the chiefs Of one of the parties of the civil war
then raging in Sonora ltwas represented to him
that the people of Sonora were anxious to declare
their independence preparatory to annexation to
the United States, for oppression was the only re-
suit of their connection with Mexico and that
with the cooperation of Americans the project
was entirely feasible.
Crabb returned to California to raise men, but
before his return to the of action some sort
OF compromise was made between the contend NO
factions and Crabb's party, unsupported, persisted
in the attempt to establish themselves at Cavoca,
Sonora. So say Crabbs svmpathisers
A correspondent of the San Diego Herald
says
'.All was bad management, want Of experience
ana clear rushing upon d deadly fate. Crabb
entered Cavorca with eighty-four men, All of
these were killed with the execution of the
youngest, said to have been spared by the Mexi-
can commander, Garcia. The name of the surv'.
vor is unknown, but he is said to be a bow of l6
or II. The Mexicans at Cavorca were about 500
strong.
s'Col, r. n. Wood, late Fillmore elector, is
among the dead.
The influence Of this affair upon Americans is
very bad Our prestige is entirely DESTROYED
the Mexicans are loud in their boasts our dreaded
lnvincibiity is gone, and nothing but great vic
tory Will restore it. Even the Indians now say
we are Of no account, and they will kill small
parties when they meet them. Heretofore Amer
leans have had much greater security than any
other people,
