trated on an Americanfamiy, which had settled on
the Yagu river as farmers. The family by name
Boston, immigrated to Sonora fifteen months SINCE
and settled on the river Yagui to plant and trade.
They were taken prisoners by the Indians stripped
and left without shelter, food or clothing and Mrs.
B. was frightened into premature confinement. Mr..
Boston and one little boy, unable to aid the family,

bark Palmetto, through the kindness of Captain
Aguar, while Mrs. Boston remains with her babe
and four little children. @
A subscription was started on board the Lam
caster, and Independent of the cash contributions
which amounted to upwards OF Sl00, the crew
raised the sum of $780, to be appropriated for the
benefit of this illused and much deserving family
A free passage has been offered to the family to
San Francisco in the schooner Storm Cloud, as
soon as she returned from her trip to the Colorado
river.
The consular difficulty here Is of long standing
and as it is well known and understood in all It's
details, it is needless to repeat them here. Suffice
it to say, that as long as an American manof-War
is in port, the representative of our Government
will be treated with due respect, but whenever
that official is not backed by national vessel be
it American or English, he becomes mere cypher.
The causes of this ! hold to be the following:
Never since the last war has our Government been
very popular in this part of Mexico. and all that
be said to the contrary will not convince these
people that the late futile attempts of Walker and
others to ilibusterize Sonora, not backed or
at least sanctioned by our Government. With
this, take into consideration the late very uncon
ciliating conduct of Capt. Porter of the ST. Marys
| in the guano affair, and is the unpopularty Of
| Americans to be wondered at?
| Another fact strange but true: our countrymen
here unlike those in other foreign countries, in
stead of assisting each other, instead OF making
| common cause in upholding common nationality
/ are forever and ever quarreling and intriguing
among themselves, and for their own especial
/ benefit. How can we ask from foreigners 70 be
| respected, when they see that we do not respect
| ourselves?
On Tuesday, June 10, an interesting occurrence
took place near this city-an American wedding
under novel circumstances. The bridegroom Mr.
VIM. Denton, of Illinois. has for some time been
| one of Capt. stones party, and such was pro-
acribed in this province, and forbidden to enter
| the port Of Guaymas. Having been engaged some
time to interesting and wealthy young lady from
1 Lower California, Donna Ellen Canova, he deter
| mined to avail himself of our presence in Guaymas
| and tie the nuptial knot After he was married to
the lady at her home, with the rites of the Caha-
| lie church, he brought her in an American
schooner within seven miles Of Guayinas, and
our chaplain, the Rev. Mr.. Louis, re. married
the couple according to the rites of the Episcopal
| church. After the ceremony, splendid COLLATION.
| was set out and soon after the schooner never
| before freighted with a more interesting cargo,
started on the wedding trip to the mouth of the
