From the st. Louis Republican we extract die
following letter:
TUBAc, Sept "a, $780, Editor Repasb1cass !. j An
now enabled to complete my account of the open
violation Of our laws by the Mexican refugees who
have resided for some time upon our hosp;kaFle
soil. The force which has been raised, armed and
equipped here for service in q foreign land was
divided into three parties, and each company will
proceed by different route to the general render
voas at Magdalena. II Is confidently exnectpa
that each Of the three leaders will have 10 many
accessons TO his standard he reaches tile rem
devious, that force of several thousand will be
concentrated at Magdalena, within q few days
when it is proposed to march on HerInosilla, take
Gov Pesquiera prisoner and place conservative
in his seat. The enthusiasm among both soldiers
and leaders of this army Of the North, p is very
great.
The main division under the direction of Don Al
tonic Gandara, took the main road direct for Mag
dalena, d distance Of So miles. His brother Frau
cisco, with an escort, Joined the commanders CO.
maduran and Gabondo at the frontier town of
Santa Cruz. The third and last iIisaInent ieft last
night under Don Remijio Rivera, whose character
for bravery was briefly limited as in my last They
all went well supplied with firearms and mounted
on horses well calculated to perform efficient ser
vice in case it should be necessary to retreat
The Gandaras are actuated more by a desire to
recover q portion Of their estates coH6scafed by
the. present Governor, than by either patriotism
ambition or military spirit Don Reniifo scarcely
goes to redeem Lis reputation for hrayery-taat
is damaged beyond redemption-buti in the division
OF spolls il we are correctly informed he il to be
the Immediate successor Of Gov. Pesquiera, Id
the revolution suGceeds-a very doubtful contin-
gency. Pesauiera overthrown. Remiiio is tempo
rarity elevated an election TO fill the vacancy is to
be ordered, and the valiant Remijio yields the
enouments OF the position to the srecessfrl can
didate. Brief will be his administration may it
be more illustrious than his military renown. The
only qualification ever heard of his having as &
politician Is that his brother is one of the richest
men in Sonora.
The people of Northern Sonora are almost uni
yersaliy Of the Church party, and as Magdalena
the Prefeet, who is i'd favor Of the government de
locto, has been obliged to flee. If The Kevointion
lists succeed in ehecting junction with The Yaanis
and their confederates below, their plans win srIf
| ceed, and the Liberals will be yanqnished. The
| latter. however, are much better drilled in the
science of war, and can repel the ReyolatioHjsts
| even with great odds against them.
Gabilondo, the chosen leader of this expedition
was the second in command at CavoFca when
Crabhe and his party surrendered, and, II was
| thought, might have prevented the massacre had
| he chosen. This feeling has made him very unpapr-
| lar with Americans; he denies having been present
at their execution, and gives explanation of the
affair which, If true exculpatea him entirely. Gabi-
/ londo has had experience in military affairs, and
| has the reputation of being courageous.
No Americans connected with the reyolti-
tionary army. 1t is said that at Tucson Don REM
lilo was offered the services of twenty. FIVE Ameri-
can volunteers, but he very prufently declined
their assistance. The expedition would appear
very like flbnsteT movement had the refugees
accepted assistance from foreigners of so progress
sive stripe as we of the Anglo-Saxan race. The
Americans feel but little interest in the result Of
the struggle.
The GaHdaras have many warm personal friends
who would wish them success in any ordinary en-
terprise, and who, though Liberals in politics,
would care little to see tho present Government
oVeIthrown. 1t will not affect American interests
let the result be what il may, unless some thing
osive is done. Trade and commerce, together
with all the peaceful arts OF civilized life lnnst Ian
gush when civil war RACES, aud our interests are
so closely blended with those of Sonora, that nj
must feel il almost sensihly as iler own people
Peace once restored. we viii not only reap lis
advantages in trade between the two countries
but will secure the right OF transit through the
State, and by means of the port OF GaayaHaaa, have
communication with the San Francisco market.
Capt Ewell has gone to the Rio Grande to at
tend a court martial. Capt. Van Boekelen, OF the
Qnartermaster Department, is to be tried for the
.tttt time on charges of embezzlenent or some
other dishonesty connected with the administra-
ton of his public duty. Capt. Bomford, of the
Eighth Infantry, presides over the Court.
Thirteen head Of cattle and one horse were stolen
by the Apaches on Sunday last. from q rancho
about ten miles from Tucsen. We have not heard
of any other attempt of stealing in this vicinity
but the present moon will scarcely be allowed to
wane without some of our settlers meeting with
visitation from them.
