The special feature of the paper is that it is a Scot tisi. journal, containing notices of every event occur ring in Scotland that can be regarded as of the least interest to natives of the country now residing on this continent. The news of the whole eountry is careful ly collected and condensed, so that no event which it concerns Scotchmen to kno is ever omitted from the columns of the paper. Articles relating to Scottish subjects, original and selected, are also published from time to time aud the more special character of the Journal is sustained by literary features of national interest in the form of tales, historical and miscellan eous sketches, anecdotes and poetry. While thus national in its character so far. these special features occupy comparatively limited space in the eight large pages of which the paper consists, three-fourths of which are devoted to news and other general matter calculated to be of interest to all clas ses of readers, and not to Scotchmen alone. A care fully compiled epitome of intelligence from England. Ireland, the continent of Europe, and all parts of the world is given in every number, with extracts from the leading articles of the British Journals on the most, interesting public topics of the day. With a view to increase the popular interest of the " Scottish American Journal,'7 nd to add to its val ue as a family paper, arrangements have been made for a series of attractive tales, founded chiefly on sub jects connected with Scottish life. The first of these stories, entitled " Clara Howard : a tale of the Cri mean War," commences with the first number of the new volume.

The recommendation in the message of the President that the United States shoald assume a temporary protectorate over Sonara and Chibaahua is founded not only in just right of reprisal for aggravated and long continued oat rages upon American citizens, but upon princi ples of self-preservation, and upon humanity for the people of these frontier States. The condition of these States, although similar in point of misgovernmeat and oppression, is not the same in degree. Sonora contains fifteen millions of acres of land and a ' population of about 120,000 souls, including Indians. Of this number, a reliable authority estimates only Dve per ceut. as being able to read: and write - TW nBiiiber.Qfnhalitnts whB call themselves whiU "gentdde razon" does not probably fine climate, and in the valleys the richest soil. Sngar, cotton, wheat, corn, peas, beans, all the Irnits grow in a luxuriousness and profusion unknown even to our southern possessions. The people are naturally docile, and accustom ed to labor, caring only to be let alone to make the State rich and prosperous by their quiet toil. VV i tli all these advantages, Sonora is to-day in the most miserable condition . The whole State is the prey of the Apache Indians. AH culti vation, except in the immediate vicinity of the towns, is abandoned. The high roads are daily stained with the blood of the people. The whole mining region of the northern portion of the State is abandoned and the commercial world is deprived of the silver which it so much needs. From researches which will shortly be made public through the Indian De partment, it is ascertained that more than one- fourth of the Gila Apaches are Mexican chil dren who have been carried iuto captivity and Annually, hundreds of both sexes are captured. They never return except when familiarized ' with the Indian life. What is this to the United States ? And when s our authority to avenge the wrongs of assas sins inflicted upon a foreign population ? The answer is plain. These have their haunts in the XT niteu States north of the Gila river. From the valleys of its northern branches they descend iuto Sonora and Chihuahua : plunder. murder, and take prisoners, and return with their ill-gotten booty to their homes, where they remain until want or inclination again sends them forth. Secure in their retreat, when they have crossed our boundary line which the Mexican dare uot cross they pursue their way leisurely back. We, in effect, give shel ter to these predatory bands, and become par- liceps criminis in the despoiling of the fairest province upon which the sun ever shown. More than this : Arizona, which has been gradually growing in importance since its ac- qmsion, is made the high road of the despoilers and its development, which promises to auj ment in so great a degree the wealth of the world, is chocked ; our people, the sturdy pion eers or civilization, are robbed: our only mail communication over land to the Pacific through out the year liable to be stopped ; and we have no redress. This wily savage, the Apache, after a severe outrage upon our side of the line retreats into Mexico, where we cannot follow him, makes a temporary peace with the near est Mex'can authority and remains untilja great er temptation offers. Ihe Mexican govern ment affords neither protection nor redress. Our readers will observe that we have touched only one phase of this question. This alone would havejustined us loner since in establish msr military posts in Sonora and Chihnahna. We are assured upon competent authority that! protection by the United States from the A pa - ches will be received by the people wituagrat- itude which no woras can express.
