GUAYMAs, April 2l, 1851.
 The coming elections are not caus- ing undue excitement, but there seems to be some danger apprehended tor next Sunday, the day on which they take place. The Governor is down here, and will remain until af- ter next week. He brought down with him some thirty men srmed with cavalry swords and carbines. which, suppose, are the militia which will guard the polls and re- press disturbances. They parade the streets in pairs. Happy thought" maybe they are there to cOerce .he election.
 II. B. NJ man oi- war Gannet was in port few days this week, and left yesterday, going to Oregon. The officers went out shooting, and ar rayed themselves in theIr shooting jackets and KnIckerbOckers, looking 'blarsted funny, you know" The Captain passed his time spider-and bug hunting around the bay, and no doubt made larger haul than the quail shooters.
 The railroad is progressing very favorably, there being somewhat more than forty miles of track now laid We get an HermosillO mai4 daily, and the Tucson mail comes In much more regularly and one day in advance. A daily stage takes the passengers at Noria del Valle, thirty miles out from here. The company allow peo- pie 10 ride on the trains to that place as matter Of accommodation, and charge them S1 50, but the expected passenger cars being still on the way, people must sit On flat cars, without seats, in the hot sun. This Is very uncomfortable, and onel Ooks as black Us his Satanic majesty is supposed to be by the time he gets to either end of the track. This will be remedied as soon as possible, and if, as it is said, the tram commences to run to a new station 45 miles from here in a few days, we shall be able to go to HermOsillo in a few hours.
 wonder some of your restaurant people don't think of obtaining their oysters from Guaymas. They are ever so much bigger than the CalifOr- nia oyster, and very fine and fat. They could be purchased here very cheap, and if sent SO as 10 arrive m HermO- sillo as the stage leaves for Tucson fresh. The 1aquIs who bring them to town will give 100 for two bits, and sometimes, as several oysters are gem erally clustered together, instead of 100 IL turns out that you have got 900.
 Easter passed of very well here, after the women had had an intOXi- eating week of prayeT-morning noon and night. The church was al- ways full of them, with IA man here and there leaning against the wall, taking it all m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday the church was not closed al all, and you could bear the mutteTed litanies clear around the block.
 We had quite little love episode here, in which Romeo was a Mexican and the Juliet an American girl, lately arrived from Arizona with her papa and mamma. Romeo and Juliet wanted to marry badly, but the ineX- urable CapLlets would not hear of ii. Suddenly Juliet disappeared and the air was full of walls from the mamma, who accused Romeo of being the ab- ductor. She threatened hIm and had him arrested. Then he was cursed and set at liberty. After little hunting around town Juliet was found, and 6s the restaurant business was failure, the Capulets left for parts unknown, while Romeo was lett behind. As he also skipped in short time, l think he must still be prosecuting his unhappy suit.
 NIT. Paulin, who jumped his bail al Tombstone, cane down here last Saturday, having made his way from HeTmOsillo on foot, go- -as-you- please. This must have amused him, as l recollect his failing al the amateur day race last year at Levin's Park, for which he was none the worse oil, Us the manager did not bother himself much 10 recOmpense the winner either. con the next morning there arrived Deputy United States Marshal, MT. Burke, who gob- bled MT. Paulin ID very short time and put him in jail. Next morning he took him of on the stage and might have got him as far as Her mOsillO, may be, if that unhappy gO- as-yOu- please propensity had not sud denly taken possession of MT. P, and he vamOosed. Burke came back and IS still here. Paulin has not been heard from since, and l would not be astonished if he was well on his way to Chihuahua by this time, still go as-yOu- please.
 It is not out of the way here 10 pay a tribute to the Governor of Sonora, Don Luis Torres, in regard to his promptness in assisting our officers when coming to this State on extra dition trips, At all times, even when the proper papers have not yet arrived, he Is willing 10 cause the ar rest and detention of the MgItives. Could We but have efficient officers sent out, the prisoners would not all escape on their way back.
 I don't know how IL is that fugi- tlNCS U Ab ANA N'NG mas. It Is the veriest rat trap for them, and probably about the only place in Sonora at which they will surely be arrested. What, with the American Consul's positive determin- atiOn to see all criminals who want to make this State place of refuge for their villainy, taken back; the will linrness. of the authorities and good chief of police, the boys are sure to be nabbed at once. There remains to them afterwards the chance of getting away from tle officers, and they are not slow in taking it.
