The Banner is justly entitled to a large circulation, and we hope Mr. Richaiidson will meet with the encouragement and sue cess that he so justly deserves, though single handed. The Times. Notwithstanding the '"bard times" and the general scarcity of money, there seems to be no disposition on the part of creditors of our district to distress their debtors, further than is barely compatible with their interests. Property is now fetching fair (rather extravagant) prices, for even more prosperous times; which will, doubtless, greatly assist those (if they will avail themselves of it) who may be deeply indebted, in extricating tnonisclves from the pressure consequent upon nn over-stretch of their credit. There is fur less suing, to the ensuing March term, than was anticipated; which we think mainly depends upon the quantity of cotton yet unsold, with public confidence that times will take a decided > .V turn for the better. It may be. that an oc casional and a slight pressure in these days of extravagance and indefinite credit, may act beneficially upon the masses, since they are the only checks that we, as a people itiiii \yiiicu 10 |>rev?*iuour greater injury arising from this state of tilings.

The San Francisco lleaald has nil interesting letter from the Colorado of the West, dated Port Yuma, Nov. 28, in which the writer gives the following description of the new territory known as the Gadsden Purchase. The Herald says the writer is an intelligent gentleman who has resided for some time in Sonora, and who has traveled extensively over the territory. Our readers will remember that it has been described as barren and worthless for agricultural or any oiuer purjioses. i ney win in; agreeably surprised to find tlisit, according to tlie annexed account, it abounds in well wattered valleys,is eminently adapted for stock breeding, utters great facilities for a lively trade with Mexico, abounds in gold, silver, and copper mines, is easily accessible, lias a temperate and healthy climate, and a soil of extreme fertility. Hut we will let the writer of the letter describe the new, and, as it appears, very valuable acquisition. lie says: The new territory, recently purchased by the United States, in the north of Sonora. seems ill ready to attract considerable attention, if I may judge from a numlter of settlors who have made Tuxon their permanent place of residence, and the exploring parties who are now crossingthe country in I various directions, in search of gold, silver, and copper mine?, all of which undoubtedly i abound. The new boundry line has not been run yet, and I am therefore unable to say with any degree of certainty what towns will be included; it seems, however, generally understood, that besides tho town of | Tuxon, Tubac, Tumtieacori, Santa Cruz, and j Calabas, fonn part of the American actjuijsitiou. Although but ji very narrow strip j of land, yet the country abounds m fertile, I well watered valleys?is eminently adapted i for stock breeding?otters great facilities for j u lively trade with Mexico, and has a speedy prosperity to hope, even without the mighty i agency of the Pacific Kaihoad, and the hid deu treasures of its mountains. From California, as well as from Sonora, all the valleys of the country are perfectly accessible, by conveyances of every kind. ! good wagon mads leading into and out of it. ! The climate is temperate and healthy, avoidi' ing alike the extreme heat of Lower Sonorsi and the rigor of the North, and the fertility of the soil is extreme. The couutrv nosses sos every element of prosperity, ami oin Government would, instead uf a thinly populated, and now apparently worth ess terri' lory, find a populous ami nourishing one, if il were not for the curses of-the Northern States of Mexico, the Apaches?who. since 1848 have committed upon the small villages o! Tuxon depredations to the amount of 811, 000. Tuxon is the most northern and hirg est village of the new territory, and count: a population of 500 souls. It is an ol> Spanish presidio, erected as a safeguard against the Apaches, but now almost entire ly useless, and in a state of decay. A nuin ber of so-called suldiers, however, are. slil kept there, under command of n captain whose principal business is t<? ruin as innel as possible the inhabitants.

The limits of ai ordinary letter would never permit ine to ex plain to you the villainous impositions un der which thp nrwir hut iniliuti'i/.i.e , of this territory are suffering; it \voul< not express their feelings simply to say tlia they are glad at the prospect of a ehang of government; they are in ecataeies abou it.
