Late arrivals from Gusymas, Mszatlsn and Is Paz,
have given us al interesting budget of news from the
northwestern states Of Mexico.
Tne fret item IN importance il message delivered
on the ls Decen Der by Gov Pesqusira Of Sonora to
the State Legislature assembled a. Hermosillo tae
capital He devotes nearly his whole message to the
relations of the Sa-e with tie American Uaion. He
regrets 10 admit that the savage Apactes have during
the last year. Continued their derous and desolsng
forsys toto Sonora ard after ,tang thst the Socorsns
had made great efforts 20 stop The incursious, he
asserts that tie ssveges have their homes on American
territory, and he complains tnat our Government
should allow tribes within its jurisdiction u commit
such -rongs agsins. = n.ighborirg friendly nation.
His language translated by The Aha Is IS follows:
"These Indians are diffcnlt to pursue, and If
exrracrdnery effort Is made Tor tais pnr-
pose they escape across the boundary hue INTO
the United Safes where territorial coOsidera-
tions forbid tbeir chastiseDent by oGr troops.
II il 10 be hoped and expected that the humane aud
Just Cabinet OF Washr gton vii take prompt aud
Efficient measures 70 prevent in tcture AZ Least It's
denizens from crossing lire for the purpose OK
murder and theft. s asserted that our horses, our
mules nay our children, carried away into captlv-
ity by those mercess saysges and sold In the srr-
tory of New. NJ. xco. Ii tBs be true, 1t Is hornoe,
and q ubt uLkpown To the just aud nun5ne Cabinet
above referred 10. These iBdisns who desol1;e our
cCuItry, ard whom Gle not pvrmltei To iolcw are
debizers of the Uolted States and reside and cut-
yaie the soIl near Rio Glls Que hundred leagues
north Of tie line. Taking this into consideration,
il is ny opinion that the Just Ctotet of Washlng-
ton will and ought to tha' thsy do not molest
end murder in friendly neighborng country. |
believe An not in error 10 this opinion. PieJndlced
MeNcars have, donbt u9justly believed that these
incursons Of the ssvsges suffered by that Ju-t
Cabinet in order to increase our msfurtunesi that

for xatlon To the Northern Uoioo that that Union
may be able to to find grounds on which 10 take
the Safe Of Sonora. Such opinions are wrong-there
is such intention with our just ana generous pegh-
bors which IS proven by their own Arizona being in
ike manner devastated by these savsges. There s
even lees protection there tnan here. During the last
year nearly all the Amer ,an settlements on the oono-
ia have been broken up by the Apacne. To protect
Arizona would be TO protect Sonora 1t would end
the Apache war everywhere. But tnis can only be
successfully done by line of military posts through
the very country where these sayages reside ard tail
the soil in the Winter Unfortunately, the Cabinet Of
Washington have lately been engaged IN extensive
and expensive wars against the Mormon nation and
other semi-civilZed Northern tribes. IL sad that
signal victories have beea gained, and laay reason
ably expect with feo~.suferers of Ar sona, that
a portion Of the army be dispatched for the SOUTH
suffi enty strong to subj1gate these rnercless
savages-to prevent them from farther vioistlng
friendly territory and TO prevent the 'nhuman trading
with stolen children and property into New Mexico
PESO queira is right in this omplaint most OF these
sAyages DO reside on American soil, and 1t IS noto-
