Later from Arizona.
1t will be remembered that on the 9th OF
May, "A murderous attack was made upon
some Mexicans and Indians in Sonota Val
ley, Arizona, by party of Americans In
this attack, three Mexicans and one Indian
were killed, and one Mexican mortally woun.
ded. There was great excitement in Arizona
at that time, owing to the murder of an
American named Byrd in that territory by n
Mexican, and also on account of Americans
having been ordered out of Hermosila, SO
nora The Americans who made the mur
derous attack upon the Mexicans had organi
zed themselves into body for the purpose OF
driving the Mexicans out of Sonoita Valley.
They acted in the capacity of self-constituted
regulators. Their murder of the Mexicans
raised against them a feeling of indignation
in the territory, and finding there were none
who did not condemn their acts, they fled to
ether parts.
From the Arizonian of May 18th, we learn
that portion of this gang have been arres-
ted. That paper says:
Three of the gang engaged in the murder
GUS affair at the mescal distllery, are in irons
at Fort Buchanan. namely, Page, Bolt and
Scott VIM. AXE, j. Pennington, Samuel An
derson, and man named Brown, are yet at
large. Pennington is very young man, evil

ciates, and as he did not take an active part
IN the affray, he will probably only be re-
quired to give his evidence Axe and An.
derson, two notorious rascals, are yet at large
and we believe Brown has not been arrested
AXE is young man, but has committed sew
eral murders. He was one of the ring leaders
OF the party Anderson is a cowardly sneak
ing fellow, great liar, a carpenter by trade,
and has bad scar across his face Messrs.
Marshall, GraydOn and Hall, with party Of
soldiers, are yet in pursuit of the fugitives,
who it is believed have not left the country
AXE has two fine horses, and has been seen
in this neighborhood since the arrest of his
companions. Mr. Marshall and his party on
reaching Tucson, in pursuit of the runawavs.
received hearty cooperation from the citi
zens. Mr.. Oury furnished fresh horses, and
there was general disposition to secure the
murderers. If watch is kept at the mail sta
tons, they will find it very difficult to es-
cape
The effects Of this raid upon the Mexcans
has been very bad upon the mining compa
MES. which are the chief resources of the
country. One hundred men have left the
C;rro Colorado mines; the Patagonia is de-
serted by its labores, and at the Santa Rita
concern it has required the most earnest eff
forts to keep the men contented. Farmers
will suffer greatly for want of hands, now in
the sensan of corn planting. 1t is disas

The Arizonian also says, that Col. Reeves.

of fifteen men, under command of sergeant,
to aid the citizens in arresting such of the
Sonota valley murderers as were still at
