A Dangerous Ground.

The ship-load of American emigrants
who were recently reported to be pre-
pairing to join the proposed American
colony in the Mexican State of Sonora,
will be interested in hearing that the
land grants on which they propose to
settle are occupied by Indians of power
full physical build, brave and warlike
temper, and resolute disposition to
hold their domain by force of arms, if
necessary, against all comers. The
Mexican Government, in granting fifty
leagues of fruitful territory to two resi-
dents of California, Samuel Brannan
and Manuel Castro, partly in liquidation
of claims and partly for the purpose of
founding colony, did not grant posses
sion of the territory as well, for the
very good reason that it never had it,
and is not likely to get it for some time
to come.
Sonora is beautiful, rich, and fertile
territory; but whoever proposes to settle
in itmust fightfor existence, andis pretty
sure to have his hands full.
