| Turbulent Times In sonora.
TUscoN, A. t., Sept s.-Gen. Serna,
commanding the revolutionists in So
nora, has been here the last week. He
has issued pronunciamento, dated
Altar, Aug. 18th, saying that he will,
in obedience to the wishes of the peo-
pie, continue the fight against the
present government of Sonora to the
bitter end. Forty others have signed
a circular setting forth why they sup
port Serna, which mainly is that they
will not submit peacefully to the con-
tinued rule of Governor Pesquiera.
The new Governor being a near rela-
tive of his, is, in effect, the same thing.
They ask that new election be or
dered, and, meantime, that some one
else be designated to the duties of Gov
ernor, in which event peace may be
had. Numbers of individuals have
left here for Sonora recently, but
whether to aid Pesquiera or the revo-
lutionists, is not known.
The recent outrage on GARLIC has
created strong feeling here against
the Pesquiera government.
The Yazoo Troubles.
WASHINGTON, Sept. Sth.-The fol-
lowing dispatch was received at the
executive mansion last night from
Governor Ames, of Mississippi.
JACKSON, Miss, Sept. 7th.-To his
excellency, U. s. Grant, Sir: Domes-
tic violence in its most aggravated
form exists in certain parts of the State.
On the evening of the first, unauthor-
lied and illegal armed bodies over
| threw the civil authorities of Yazoo
county, and took forcible possession of
said county, from which the Sheriff,
the peace officer of the county, was
compelled to flee for safety, and is still
a refugee. The Sheriff of this county
reports that, since the 4th instant, he
has been unable, after every effort, to
maintain the peace and rights of the
citizens. He reports various murders
byunauthorized and armed bodies who
are securing the county. Warren
county is also reported to be in state
of terrorism from demonstrations of
still other unauthorized bodies, and a
feeling of insecurity prevails in other
counties of the State, and after care
full examination of all the reports, l
find myself compelled to appeal to the
General Government for means of CIV
ing that protection to which every
American citizen is entitled. 1 do not
now make a formal application, under
the provisions of the Constitution OF
the United States, but telegraph you
to know if you will regard a proclama-
tion issued by you in December last,
on the application of the Legislature
of this State, as still in force. The ne
cessity of immediate action cannot be
overestimated, and if your proclama-
tion of December last is not in force, !
will at once make formal application,
in accordance with the provision OF
the Constitution of the United States.
