LATER FROM THE SOUTH.—The steamer Senator, which arrived at San Francisco on Friday, brought advices from San Diego to Oct. 1st, from Los Angeles to the 4th, and from Santa Barbara to the 6th. The following intelligence is from the Clamor Publico, published at Los Angeles: Gov. Pesqueira was in Hermosillo, recruiting men for his army. Those who would not serve were fined $25 and banished to the frontier, in the Valley of the San Pedro. A battle had taken place at San Antonio de la Huerta between 400 of Pesqueira's troops, under the command of "El Cachorra," and the Yaqui Indian Tanoix, in which the latter was defeated; whereupon the government forces marched at once for the Yaqui country, which they will "clean out." The Apaches continue to make incursions into Sonora and Arizona. They have lately stolen 118 head of cattle from the Americans at the Colorado river. They also stole 135 head of cattle near the Picacho, from Francisca Rueda. Arizona is in disorder, on account of the hostile feeling between the Americans and Mexicans. Murders committed by one race and the other is not uncommon—the quarrels being national rather than personal in their character. Don Manuel Monteverde, Don Manuel Inigo and Don Manuel Escalante, were in prison in Hermosillo, under charge of having excited the Sagin Indians to insurrection. An estate belonging to Don Manuel Gandara, had been sold by Governor Pesqueiro, for the benefit of the widows and orphans of the soldiers killed during the campaign against the partisans of Gandara.
