atf-t .,g ~ts, CALABAZAS, June Z6th, l059. ED1ToR ARIzoN1AN: On the 18th inst, two Mexcans appeared at my house asking for em- ployment, and being apparently good meaning men, Mr. Boyd and myself hired them to do 0 small job of work In about an hour, having completed their work, they deliberately, and in my presence, mounted on my saddle horse, which was staked out in the bottom, and made for Sonora Not having arms about me, 1 could do DO more than see them ride off with my horse; having followed the robbers on foot as far as Mr.. Fnlay's ranche, Twas kindly pro- vided with animals. lg eT g loYHr
 '' desire, through the columns of the Arizo- nian, to give plain and simple statement of the treatment l received in Sonora during my late trip; and to render credit where credit is due, l take pleasue in recommending to the notice of Americans the kindness and good ser vice of Don Jose Elias, of Senor Ignacio, Don Joaquin Quieroga, Jose Maria his son, of Ymi- res also of Dr, Campbell an American, resi- dent in Sonora long time, and at present practcing in Magdalena These gentlemen did all in their power to assist me: in fact am in- debted to Don Jose M, Querago for the capture of one of the thieves, but being advised it would be useless to prosecute, as conviction and pun ishment was next to impossible, and as he had not my property, the best and only course for me was to release him.
 In Magdalena I found many sympathisers among the leading men of the town, though I cannot say any active part was taken by ythem to assist me in the recovery of my horse, or the detection of the thief, with one exception, fer which beg to make my grateful acknowl- edgements to Don Gregorio Gomez and his partner Joseph Rothenhauser, for their kindness and attention. They did everything to assist me Don Hilarion Garcia, gentleman known in this Territory, acted as friend and gentle man, furnishing me with fresh horses, and for which return him my thanks. 5 t1e
 During my stay in Magdalena was not in- suited or molested in any way by the populace, though from good authority was cautioned to be on my guard night and day, being given to suppose that any disorder on the part of the Mexicans or populace would be overlooked and perhaps even protected by one Wenceslao Toribio, Judge of lst Instance, District Judge,) who is sworn enemy of Americans and Amer ican principles. With such influences Ameri- cans will find it very difficult to obtain their just rights, and would advise all those whose business (peasure is out of the question: should call them to Sonora, to be very circumspect in their intercourse with the people, the gffghtest acts being taken notice of and commented on. all white men considered by them political agents or unprincipled villains 'a .i. Since writing the above 1 have learned that my horse was ridden to death, having died in the Barajita. Respectfully

Row AMONG THE FILIBUsTERs. The N. York

E Row AMONG THE FILIBUsTERs. The N. York Hines of the lsT inst, says: cs S
 A number of fllibusters congregated at tho barroom of the St Nicholas last night, and had a fight among themselves Among those present were Col, Titus Capt Anderson Gen. Wheat, Maj. Hall, and Lieut. Peel An altercaton en- sued between Anderson and Titus respecting an old feud, when third party interfered, and Ti- tus knocked him down.. A general melee en- sued, in which Titus drew revolver, but did no damage A policeman arriving took him out of the room As he was passing out, he declared Anderson to be d-d coward, who did not dare to cross the lines and fight him with pistols The disturbance was renewed soon after. The police again interrupted the quarrel and took Titus, thus saving his life at the risk of their own, as the Anderson party seemed very anx- ious for the blood of the Colonel
 The next night it appears that Anderson and his friends attempted to renew their difficulty with Titus, but the police interfered, and took Anderson to the Toombs. f,.jt...L,
 Gen. Walker is in New York, closely watched by the United States Marshal and his officers. The report that 300 fllibusters had landed at Acapulco, turns out to be false. f ,'st

Because we have endeavored to avoid politics, for the present, some people imagine we have Black Republican procivities, which is very far from the fact. s

MEXICAN RAscAIITY- "A few days since four peons on the rancho of Mr. B. c. Marshall, ran away, taking some fifty dollars worth of goods. A horse belonging to Mr. James Graydon was lately seized in Santa Cruz by the authorities, and Mr. Graydon who went after him, notified to leave. The insolence and rapacity of Mexi- can officials in some instances seems intolera- ble, and the better the laboring classes arc treated the more treacherous and thievish they appear. f'"n h'

From Washington.

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE Uerald's Wash
ngton correspondent says: The statement
being made up at the Post-oflice Department
as to its condition, will be completed by Monday,
and the President will then determine as to the
necessity of u called session, which will be as
early as July, should it be determined on.
Although the President will not adopt any
expedient in the way of issuing certificates to
contractors, as has been suggested, an existing
law obliges the Department to issue certificates
of service to contractors at the close of each
quarter, and it is upon these certificates the
Treasury pays the money. This obviates any
necessity for the course suggested, but the large
deficiency already existing may induce called
session, and it looks now as if such would b,
the result.
The Senate has confirmed the following an.
pointments: c. W. Bradley and o. Il. Roberts
residing in China, Commissioners under the
China treaty to settle claims; Mr.. McDuiie, Of
California, Superintendent of Indian Affairs
Mr. Downey, Collector at San Pedro, Califor.
MIA; Peter Wilson, Receiver of Public Money,
at Nebraska; o. Everts, Register of the Lane
Office at Hudson, Wis; +. Warren, Receiver
Mt Marquette, Mich; l.. l.. Brown, United

Redfeld, Indian Agent for Michigan.
Hon. r. III. Gillett, who has been for Ion,

Additional from Mexico.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE Southern
mail, which arrived here tonight, furnishes
New Orleans papers of Saturday. The brig
Minititlan, at New Orleans, furnished advices
from Tampico to the goth ult. The Tampico
papers manifest considerable alarm as to the
results Of Miramon's expedition, though they
consider Vera Cruz in a most perfect state of
defense. More than four thousand men, says
the Prisma, can be concentrated at Vera Cruz
at moments notice in case of attack, without
including the commands of Generals Leave and
Prejo, or the army of Oajaca, numbering one
thousand men, now before 0riaana.
All counted, the Liberals have for tho defense
of the city about 5000 available troops. On
the other hand the Prisma docs not think
that more than q thousand men could be spared
from the cities, which are now held only at the
point Of the bayonet by the reactionary party,
and expresses the opinion that Miramon will
have to depend almost entirely upon the army
with which he set out for the capital. In the
mean time the war is prosecuted with vigor all
through the interior.

CLEVELAND, COLUMBUS AND CINCINNATI RAIL
RoAD.-The earnings of this road for January
show great increase over the earnings of De-
cember, or of the same month last year. They
are as follows: From freights, $43, ,346 so
from passengers, mails and express, 1923, 1888 81
from rents, $6,l92 SO. Total, S72,923 AZ.
The earnings for February show that the in
ings from sources mentioned in January statis-
ties being $68,lSS 40. An increase is here
shown over the preceding month of $4,7s4 70,
an item which probably no other road in Ohio,
at least in Northern Ohio, can equal. One
secret Of success with this route is the regular
ity of its trains, seldom, if ever, failing to con-
meet at either end Of the route. 1t is probable
that one or more lines of passenger steam
ers will be put on Lake Erie, between Buff
falo and Cleveland, this season, which will cx-
ercise great influence upon travel in that di-
rectiOn.

HAUL OF FRAUDULENT BILLs.-A stranger
calling himself G. W. Morgan, Who had been
staying at the Billings House, Keokuk, Iowa,
was arrested on Wednesday week, on suspicion
of being dealer in counterfeits. On examin-
ing his trunk there was found 1000 in spuri-
Gus bills, of various denominations, on the
Farmers and Drovers' Bank of Petersburg,
Ind. There was also found score of copies
Of Dyes Bank Note Reporter, in which these
spurious notes are quoted at the same rates as
other Indiana paper. AS Morgan had not at
tempted to pass any of the bogus money, he
was discharged; but on Saturday following
(5th) he was again in the hands of the authori-
ties, having been taken from the steamer Adelia
while the boat was lying at Burlington, by the
Marshal of that city. for having attempted to
pass bogus money. Upon searching his carpet
sack 200 of notes on the Farmers and Dro-
vers' Bank Of Petersburg, Ind, were found.
The Davenport Gazette adds: "The Gate
City says it seems from the pains which has
been taken, that a large business was con-
templated in the Mississippi Valley. The St.
Louis Republican gives an account of the ar
rest Of two Of the gang with $50, 900, which,
with the arrest made at Keokuk, will probably
put quietus on the operations of that banking
company for the present. 1t is supposed that
but very little, if any, of the money has been
put in circulation yet"
| large haul Of counterfeit money has been
made in the vicinity of st. Joseph. A mystic
rious carpet-bag, left by mysterious man, at
the house of farmer, was opened, when some
circumstances transpired to cause the mysteri-
GUS man to be suspected. The contents of the
mysterious bag were as follows: 335 gold dol
lars; ia gold So 5O-pieces; 295 half dollars
all of which proved to be made of bogus OF
| spurious metal. There were also 40 $40 coun-
| terfeit bills on the Bank of Commerce. Cleye-
land, Ohio; six $40 counterfeit bills on the
Northwestern Bank, at Wellsburg, Va; twelve
So counterfeit bills on Central Bank, Middle.
town, Connecticut; making the round sum o.
$2,7l7 so, all in counterfeit money. There
was also one piece of bogus metal; one roll o.
gold foil or composition; one large galvanit
battery; one small copper funnel; one bottle O
silver solution; a three-cornered file, and (
package of marking ink found in the sack.

ARIzoNA.-Says an Ell Paso correspondent of
the Galveston Civilian;
see the papers are making great fuss over
Arizona. Between you and me the whole thing
is humbug. The celebrated Mesilla Valley,
] am told, does not contain above twenty thou
sand acres of good land if so much, and there
is no other valley in the Territory that equals
it, Its gold mines are now supposed to be of
no real value, and the silver ones are yet an
experiment, to be tested by future operations.
OF mineral wealth, copper is decidedly the most
valuable in the Territory. The Mexicans, in
making the Gadsden treaty, knew what they
were about; they agreed upon line which
transferred to the United States territory
worthless to them, and Of little other value to
the United States than as route across the
continent, while Immediately below the line
there is really country rich in mineral and
agricultural wealth; besides which the only
railroad route to the Pacific is still below our
present line. Take the explorations made by
the United States, and you will see that the
valley of the Colorado is below the level of the
sea. The intervening mountains can not be
tunneled, and there is almost as little prospect
of going over them. The depression in the
mountains is below, as is evidenced by the fact
that the Gulf of California is formed by the
drainage from those mountains.
