Mowry will soon publish work Oh The

subject, promises 10 be interesting.
The road from San Francisco TO Texas Is
in good condition. The passengers speak
highly of the route, and think the trip can
be made in eighteen days, when The estao-
lishment gets in good working order. The
mail was detained unnecessarily three days
OF Sherman, Texas.
The first mail from Albuquerque TO Cali
furuia over the 35th parallel, when about
sixty miles out from the former place, was
ordered TO 60 down on the Arizona route
to the Pimos, and from thence into Caiiior-
MIA by the Butterfeld route. The emil
grants who turned back unable TO make the
trip, report that their mules had gone hve
days without water.
1t was reported at Fort Smith that Lieu
tenant Beale would go into winter quarters.
The rumor that he had been attacked by
the Indians is disbelieved.
Mr.. McKibben, from whom we obtain
our notes concerning Sonora and the Apa
che Indians. took passage on the 10th uit.,
at Tucson, the principal town in Arizona.
The Apache Indians continued their dep
relations upon the frontiers Of Arizona
and Sonora, whenever opportunities offered
Tor them tcipossess themselves OF Mexican
scalps or Mexican booty. Owing 10 their
vigilance and activity such chances were oil
frequent occurrence. A party OF eight Of
them, however, had nearly been extermln'
ared by company Of twenty MexIcans al
/ Cahon Delegate, pass in the Mountains
about forty miles distant from Fort buch-
anan. The Mexicans set upon them una
wares, killed seven Of the number outright,
and so desperately woundea the eighth that
| he was lett for dead on the ground; during
the temporary withdrawal Of the assailants,
however, the wounded Indian revived and
effected his escape. The dead were scalp
ed, Of course, by the victors. MIR. Mchib-
ben has one of The trophies in his possession
Capt. Ewell, of the Ist Dragons, who Is
commandment at Fort Buchanan, with two
companies under his orders and IN garrison
at that post, visited the Apaches after the
conflict, and had talk with them
They promised 10 conduct themselves peace
ably in future and gave their word that
they would return eleven head Of cattle sto-
len from Col. Titus while emigrating tAith-
err from Kansas. Captain Ewell was as ei-
ficient in compelling good behavior on the
part of his Indian neighbors as the small
force under his command would permit HIM
10 be. The Apaches have long been the
bane Of the Territory, and have al! along
DELAYED the full discovery of the precious
metals there, by preventing persons pros
pecting" for silver ore and gold. The name
of their head chief is Mangus Colorado
He is man OF large and powerful frame
and disposition Tor any mischief. He
stands in awe of Americans, but holds the
Mexicans in extreme csntemp'. The Tor
mer, he saws, always carry their guns be-
fore them and loaded, while the Mexcans
have theirs slung at their backs, and very
often unloaded. The consequence OF the
chiefs opinion is, that his followers Will at
tack Americans only when they can take
them in ambush and without fear OF loss tC
themselves. The Mexicans, on The contra.
~, the attack with temerity and pursue
with fury. A band of Apaches recently
entered the popuIours town OF Tucson anc
| murdered an old Mexican man within Iou'
| hundred yards of the town Plaza. They
formerly lived at the Mexican missions, II
) state OF friendship and intimacy, but re-
, belled many years ago from some unknown
/ cause, and have since manifested dispO
sition of most deadly hostility to them.
! In Sonora, the revolution WAS in full
. progress at the time of our iniormant's de
: parture. The present Governor, Pesquie
: "a, had lost the support Of the rich mel
and merchants OF the Province, who con
s,i,uted his most reliable supporters. III
had received large loan OF money from
the merchants, on promising TO repay tn
same from the customs receipts at Guya
, mas on the Gulf of California, the prlnci
/ pal seaport Of Sonora.
| The funds, however, were otherwise ap
propriared, and his disappointed creditor
l declared for General Canadara. The fore
, IN Ter orders OF Canadara, represented Il
/ former accounts 10 be 5000 men, is consid
erably exaggerated. The population of til
; country, all told, does not eAceeu loo,oo
! souls. OF this number, the males capabl
of bearing arms have been reduced by pro
t Iouged years of revolutions and Indian in
: cursions, until the females exceed them i
the proportion of four or five TO one. Mi
f Mex. thinks, therefore, that so large
force could not be arrayed under the stand
: ard Of one leader. Pesquiera once possess
ed some reputation as an Indian fighter, bu
, is now a drunkard and tyrant, and DIES
1 pissed by very large majority OF the peopl

TO displace him, but may not succeed TO th
Governorship himself, as there are numer
