Unhappy Mexico.

The prescribed mode of expressing the peoples choice for President thereof has lately been observed, but the people are not submitting to the results. A few weeks ago we published the fact of impending revolution in the neighboring State of Sonora which some of our readers thought would not prove to be a fact. A friend in Guaymas, under date of 12th inst. writes us as follows:
 I presume you have heard of our row or pronunciamiento ill Guaymas about the garrison of this port revolting on the night of the 29th ultimo, killing their commanding of ficer and three others, and making the rest prisoners.
 One Jesus Leya immediately as- stunned command and proclaimed Por- firio Dias as President. For four days they hold the town levying during the time contribution of $15, 900 on the merchants, and also by threats of seizure of cargo of goods recently arrived from Europe, belonging to Mir. Bartninz-Prussian Consul-in- duced him to pay $30,O0O cash. Mir. B. Is one of the firm of Stortzel, Bartninz & Go. of Mazatlan, and was here at the time. At the end of four days, the whole force of revolted men, some 300, left on two vessels for Ag- rabampo, the coasting port of the in- terior town of Alamos, which place they expect to take without trouble.
 The State Government of Sonora, on receipt of the news of the revolt, immediately organized a force of 800 men and sent it to Guaymas, but not arriving in time, was sent to Alamos by land. As yet we have not heard the result.
 The foregoing shows the instability of the Mexican Government; how in- secure 1t leaves all business thereun- der; that while Juarez in his late message to the Congress which re- elected him, plead for the encourage ment of commerce to and from Mex ican ports, the Government is unable to protect what 1t already possesses. The fact is repeatedly demonstrated that trade by both sea and land under the Mexican flag, is insecure. While the officials beg for a revival of indus tries, they cannot, CT do not, give what they have, legal protection.
 A few days ago Cachise and his band of Indians stole over 100 head of l cattle from near Fronteras. An ex- press to the latter place for help found | all the troops off to Guaymas; and on going to Santa Cruz on like errand, there found the same condition of things. Thus it will be seen that while Cachise and his warriors are, un- opposed, robbing the northern Sonora revolts and robberies along the coast towns are going on by Mexican citizens and officials.
 The annexed dispatches show as bad a condition of public affairs in other parts of the distracted republic:
 MEXICO, October 30-via Havana, November Sth-Anarchy prevails in many of the States of Mexico. The revolution in Nueva Leon still con- .inues, and the revolution movement s spreading in other provinces.
 The revolutionists of Zacatecas have Invaded the State of San Luis Potosi. Numerous bands of men are sack ng the villages and haciendas in the States of Hidalgo, Mexico, and the Federal District. Robberies have ,een committed in sight of the gates l # the city. The authorities of the State of I )axaca have neglected to promulgate a he election of Juarez.
