GOVERNMENT AND MILITARY COMMANDANCY OF THE STATE OF SONORA.

I have the honor to enclose you a copy of the official report and private letter received yesterday from General Angel Martinez, giving an account of his victory over the traitors in the district of Alamos.

In reply to the general, I inform him that there are no other traitor bands in the State except those of Salvador Vazques and Refugio Canori, from two to three hundred men each—one in the district of Arizipe, the other in Magdalena, both now quiet. I will soon communicate with the general, and recommence operations.

Please communicate this to the President, and congratulate him for me on account of the glorious victories due to the valor of General Martinez.

Independence and liberty! Camp in Noria, February 1, 1866.

J. GARCIA MORALES.

D. Elial, Acting Secretary.

The Minister of War, Paso del Norte.
