Excitement in Hermosilo.

Mir. w. H. Jarvis, in company with several Americans, residents of this Territory arrived in Tubac, from Sonora, on the evening of the 3Oth ult Their departure from Hermosillo was somewhat accelerated from the fact that sin gular excitement existed in the city, and every American was notified to leave at once, under penalty of death for remaining. The popula- ton was greatly excited, thronging the streets, insulting and threatening Americans, evidently with full consent from the authorities, who seemed to share the prevailing sentiment
 In one or two instances houses belonging to Americans were forciby entered by the mob, who threatened general massacre of every America.l in the city, and as the fifteen or twenty there, were scattered about in various places, the opportunity for such a characters- tic Mexican performance was excellent
 There was no particular reason assigned for this sudden and remarkable ebuliton of hostil- ity towards Americans. No cause had been given that any American was aware of. The few Americans in the city were quietly attend ing to their own affairs, when they were beset, insulted, threatened and abused, in an outra- geous style, and under the circumstances re- sistance was useless.
 Hermosiilo has always enjoyed the reputa- ton, amidst all the disturbances and "revolu- tions" which have agitated Sonora, of being a peaceable and hospitable city, where an Amer ican, so long as he respected the laws and GUS toms of the country, was as safe as though un- der the shadow of his own flag, on American soi and we cannot understand why the author ities allowed such hostile manifestations, which tend to create bitter and revengeful feelings Mexican neighbors to pursue, is to treat Amer icans with courtesy and respect so long as they violate no law, and attend to their own affairs. This is all thatis asked or expected; if Ameri- cans do not conduct themselves with decency in Sonora or anywhere else, they must take the consequences But any persecution of Ameri-
 cans in Sonora will sooner or later bring Q se-
 were retribution
 We are heartily opposed to any flibustering
 attempt on Sonora, and the same feeling is
 shared by the inhabitants of this Territory Nc
 greater pest could come upon us than gang
 of those latter-day pirates denominated illi
 busters, and we trust it will be long before Ari
 zona is invaded by another party. We do no
 credit the rumor that Walker and LockridgC
 mediate descent upon the northern States o
 Mexico if they do, it is our belief that they
 will meet the fate which all freebooters deserve
 The people of Sonora labor under grave mis take when they charge inhabitants of this terri , tory with being favorable to fillibustering O any unlawful design upon Mexican soil.- At the same time we do not hesitate to expres a hope that the day is not far distant when il
 fair, open and honorable manner, the Unitet , States Government will extend its laws an , institutions over the State of Sonora. It vii be beneficial to both countries and advance th civilization of the world
