CoTernor General Gwin.
William McKendry Gwin, Governor Gen
eral of Sonora and other northern 'Sta e of
Mexico onder Louis Napoleon, was born
October 9, 1805, in Summer county, Siale of
Tennessee. He was the eon of Rev. James
Gwin, a Methodist preacher of considerable
celebrity in the South. He applied his at
tention to the study of Medicine and grad
uateJ at Transylvania University, Lexing
ton Kentucky. He lived a short time in
Nashville Tenn , and removed to Vicksburg
Miss., twice to settle there. He never prac
ticed Medicine but turned his mind to law
and politics.. He was admitted to the bar
though he never practiced In 1833 he
received and accepted from Gen. Jack
son the appointment of U. S. Manhal for
the State of Mississippi and retained the
position through the administration of Mr
Van Buren. In 1841 he was elected to
Congress. At the the expiration of his
term be declined-a re-election, which was
strongly pressed opon him by his political
i friend. In 1847 he was appointed by Pres
ident Polk to superintend the erection, of
the Custom House. He resigned this posi
tion and removed to California in 1848,
where he took a prominent pari in the reg
ulation of affairs and 'was elected a dele
gate to the convention which formed the
State Constitution of California. Dr. Gin
and John C. Fremont were chosen Uniied
States Senators to convey the instnune I to
Washington. Upon the admission of the
State the two Senators drew lots to decide
which should fill the long and which the
shori terra. Dr. Gwin drew for the long
term, ending March 3, 1815. He was
again elected United Slates Ser.ator lor the
same Slate and his term expired March 3,
1861' In November 1861, he was arrested
by General Sumner, nnder a charge of trea
sonable language and confined in Fort Laf
ajette. He was afterward released, found
his way to Richmond whence he. left for ;
Paris. Here he gained ihe confidence of
Louis Napoleon and now he officiates on
our borders the Vice Secretary ct the Em
peror of France
Mr. Blair's second visit to Richmond
resulted in bringing Vice President Ste
phens, R. M. T. Hunter and Judj;e Camp
bell to Fortreso Monroe for Ihe pnrpo-e of
conferring with the Federal authorities as
to'terms of peace.. They were met fir.t by
Secretary Seward, who telegraphed to Pres
ident Lincoln to "come on." There they
have been consulting, but we have no pos
ilive information of what passed between
the parties Sensation rumors are plenty.
On Monday a 'telegram to this place an
nounced a gerera! amnesty, a cessation ol
hostilities and a restoration of the Union
upon the basis of the Constitution, and a
guaranty of indemnity to all citizens of the
Confederacy. We are not prepared to
place much confidence io any statements
yet received. However, we will accede to
Abraham Lincoln the honor of becoming a
peace commissionner and give him further
notoriety for having taken the first oppor.n
nity to recognize the Southern Confederacy.
Since writing the above we have received
intelligence that Mr. Lincoln and Seward
have returned to Washington to announce j
thai the commisston ol peace enaeii in an j
entire failure. From the statemen's related i

Rapresnt,divts rf the United Stole of Amer

ified by ihree-founhs oi said Legislature
shall be valid to all m erits and purposes a
a part ol the said Constitution viz..
Article XIII , Scctiow 1. Neither slavery
nor involuntary servitude, except as a pun

have been duly convicted, shall exist wiih

Stc. 2. Congress shall have power to en

The Promised Pcacs.. The greatest boon
the Administration is now capable of be
stowing upon the county, is peace. VVe
were promised it speedily if Lincoln ws
re-elected. He secured bis re election in
some wa-, but there is 00 peace yet. li he
will secure it to os, we will freely forgiie
him every 'folly he has committed, and
Heaven know they have been as numero os
a ihe sands upon ihe sea shore. Shall we
have peace ? The honest, intelligent la
boring masses of Ihe country are becoming
deeply interested in the solution ot ibis
question. They see the war was criminal
unnecessary, and desire lo gel. out of il
belore becoming embroiled in a war with
other nations. Shall we have p-ace with
the Somh triving lo her all her rights, or
Sonera.
- While lha Abolition heresy has been run
ning over our. land and feeding the admin
istration at Washington with hatred to the
the South .and to her institutions, and
therein preserving the pretext for war, be
cause they declare that we cannot have a
permanent peace without the complete an
nihilation of Slavery, he French powers
have taken advantage of our inability to
oppose them and have established an Aris
tocracy, over the ruins of Mexico. - Max
imilian. is there situated and holds the reign
of government. And it is not to be sup
posed he will yield his anthoriiy upon a
tormal request of the United Siaies author
ities nor of ar.y nation on the globe. He
cannot be made to deert his conquest
wiihout lorce, and that force must necessa
rily be sirong. Louis Napoleon is engaged
in the enterprise and having secured a ces
sion by Maximillian of Sonora and other
northern States ol Mexico which are rich
in mineral wealih and productions he will
if in his power sustain the French domin
ion pf Mexico.
These States are convened to him by
trust deed. to be held and governed by him,
under Mexican protection as security for
the payment of the claims ol France against
J Mexico. Lonis Napofean has appointed
Dr. Gwin Governor General or Vice Secre
tary of ihe Emperor to the French.
Sylvester Moury, a graduate of West
Point and a skillful engineer gives a full
account of the wealth oi Sonora in a work
enti'led, ' Arizona and Sonora, the Geog
raphy, History and Resources of the Silver
Regions ol North America" in which he
says :
To appreciate what wonderfeTinternal re
miree Sonora has, one hould visit the
Hacienda de la Alameta, fifteen mile- (rorrt

or ol La Labor, owned by the Astizarans

ited. A flour-mill ol the best description,
with abundance of water power; soasp

the wool for which, and the dye stuffs, are
"town on the place ; a wasort manufactory
i also carried on for the pole use of the fla
cie'.da tobacco is also produced, of ex-
ce lent qnali'y : orances, Jernops, pome
I grana'es, and other tropical fruit, ol deli
j cious flavor are grown ir. abundance. These
j place- are sirnply principalities, where a
man has all the products of the earth under
tribtitf at hand. The larie cotton mill near
La Labor, at San Migael, has been offered
to San Franci.-co capitalists on liberal terms.
The cotton can be raised at its very door.
Indigo, Brazil Wood, cochineal, and other
dye stuffs, grow spo'-taneou-ly in the Ya
q oi and Mayo Valleys ; also coffee of the
best qcality. '
He writes at length of the mines of gold
silver, copper and lead, which are numer
ous. We have room onlv for the following
small portion of his interesting statement :
San Xavier is distant about 140 miles from
the port of Gnaima in a northern direc
tion, and about the same distance southeast
from the city ol Hermosillo, approachable
from both points by an excellent wagon
road This is one oi the oldest and richest
mineral districts of Sonora. There are
many mines situated wninn a radius of
about three' miles, viz., La Bronces, Las
Cri:ze'ita, Las Amicsenos, Las Tumbres,
La DiviMon, La Nauuila, Las Ainmos, La

Mr. Editor : , '
Djr Sir I will requeM a
small space in 3-0 valuable paper, for the
publication of a few lines, which 1 am
about to write forjhe benefit and interest of
onr friends at hrfne. And especiafly for
oar aged pareni e Columbia whose sons,
h)n the 12it, 0 September, 1864, connected
themselvei with the 209th Reg't P. V., and
marched to the front. We first struck Vir
ginia soil at Bermuda Landing, where we
were al'owed to remain on!y a few days,
when .we were ordered to the front to do
picket dnty. During nine weeks we re-
1 maned there, having fifty two hours of
picket duly to perform out of every seventy
two hours, besides onr regular drill, yet the
boys enjoyed good health. On the 15th of
Nov. the Rebs gobbled our pickets at that
place, capturing twenty boy s of our Reg't
and a considerable number from otr er regi
ments. Among the captured was our brave
Colonel, Capt. Lee of Company F, and
first Lieut, of Company B Company F, lost
some twelve men prisoners and one woun
ded. Francis Pealer of Columbia county
was slightly wounded. Oscar Pealer and
Gideon BeishUne from Fishing Creek Col.
co., were among the prisoners. Tne pick
ets kept op a brisk fire tor several days,
which confined us within our works for
ninety-six hours in cold and rain wiihout
any sleep and only common daily rations.
On the 20'h of Nov. we broke up onr "amp
and marched to the left of the Federal
works along breastworks and threw camps
to the extreme left, a distance of twenty
miles, where we did picket service four
days and then marched back to the front of
Petersburg, onr present situation. On ihe
28th of Nov. we struck our tents at this
camp and were soon after connected to the
1st Briiiat'e, 3d Division, 9 h Army Corps,
In a short time our Brigade was ordered to
cover the retreat of the 5th Corp, which
was our making a raid commonly known
as the "Apple Jack" raid. While doing
this our march was mostly in the night,
amid snow and mud to our knees and often
through creeks. The courage of our Lieu
tenants alone, kept us from beina taken by
guerrillas. At length after marching a dis-
tance of twenty miles we reached the banks j
of the Nolaway river, abor.i 2 o'clock in the 1
morning. Our blankets and clothes being
wet, our load was heavier ihan usual and
the toys were completely worn out in
marching this dista-.ce in ten hours. Being
cold and wet the boys soon had the rebel
fence on ihe fires, by which they warmed
ami rtrivil ilioif rlrlh and Innk a shnrl nan t
while the 5tb corps was crossing the pon
toons on their return. The boys would oc
casionally sl'p out and capture turkies
chickens, and pigs ; in fact they took their
choice tor the country was richly blessed
with everjthing Ihe heart co ild wish At 4
o'clock the same day we were ordered back
over ihe same ground we came, and with
greater rapidity. Many did not get in camp
till the day afier the regiment camped, but
none regretied their trip for the rich supply I
fully repaid us. We are now on ligh' duty ;
and enjoying pretty good health . I am sad '
to inform the people, especially the parents ,
ot Fihing Crerk. that Co. E, since the raid
have hurried two rf her brave sons. On ;
ifie 3 1st td December we were called lo in- '
ler the remains ol Samuel Laubauch, and
011 ihe 18th of January 1S65 we were re i
called to the burial ot Piuiip P.autz. a son of
John Rant. It if faid he troubled himself :
to leah on account of the inhuman treat
ment his father is receiving from the exe
cutive of ihe government he was fighting lo
maintain. Thus two ol our brave boys,
have passed away, and two more family
fireside made vacant. How many brave J
men are yet to fall is unknown. May God j
cause peace 10 prevail once more in our I
laud.

Tbe Dtrnoc racy of the North will coin

ihe year 1865.
The New York News needs no testimony
beyond its plain unalterable record in sub
stantiate its claim to being and 'hating
been the most earnest, able and consistent
Slates' Rights Journal in Ihe land. We
have no excuses to invent for modification
of sentiment, nor hsve we 10 p!l ''ex
pediencj" in pfrlliation of inco isiitenrv..
Onrpihha been rtraig'.t forward. Our
columns are belore the people, not a line-
in mem trial we wou.j cancel nor eenti-
, ment Wf would rerall, nol an as-ernon
thai requires an explana ion, not a word
that we regrei 10 have ufered, not a prin
ciple advocated that we have no stood by
and will stand by to the last. S.ieh has
been our past record, so will be oor tniur.
We do not, however, a-k the Democracy
10 sustain ns in nor mission a a reward
for the service we have done, but in con
sideration of the good work that we pro
pose to do. Ths Nw York News for 1865
will not merely imitate its predece-sors, it
will excel them. It shall be noi only the
fuesi exponent cl Demociatic principle,
but the best ii'trpaper io the coontry.
lieretoiore it m hail no superior as a ve
h'cl of news, hereafter it shall have no-
. ? .-...., .a irno-
! catic co.emporaries. None have a tempi-
, ed latterly, to compete with il in the publi
cation 01 Souther.! intelligence, as our
I ysem of exchange with SoTnherii journals
I lafiles ihe tagacity and enterprise 01 our
rivals.
A glance at the column- of The News
devoed lo 'Southern and Northern per
sonals'7 will remark the extraordinary suc
cess that has attended our enterprise in
that direction. We are in daily receipt f
letters expressing the thanks ol those whor
through ihe medium ol the ''Personals' in
The News, have been enabled lo receive
tidings from their friends and relatives in
the South, and the heart of many "an exile
and wanderer has been gladdened through
1 fiat instrumentality by words of affection
and hope from thoe mourned for as dead.
The New York News has become o
popular in the rural districts that othv r ile
tropolitan j niriials, in publhing their
stereotyped boa-t of "the largest circula
tion ol any weekly journal"' are constrain--ed
10 make an exception in our favor Id
is a significant circumstance that since the
Presidential election and consequent de
mise of War Den.ocracy, the subscriptions
to ihis paper have been unusually numer
ous. ',
The Agricultural Department of The
New York News renders il an invaluable
companion and assistant to the farmer .
and its Cattle, iVlaiket and Produce Ra
ports are more reliable and full than those
of any other journal.
The Daily News will forfeit one thon-.
sand dollars it, in the above. Department
competent judges should deny its saperl
oriiy.
