Highly Interesting from Mexico--COndltiOn
Of the TexlaD Prisoners.
We received yesterday by private convey nce
from the city of Mexico, full account of the con-
dtion of the Texan prisoners near that city, to-
gether with a lis, of their names, including all
those who have died, either from the rigors of the
climate, the atrocities of the Mexican Govern
ment, or any other cause. This intelligence the
most accurate and the most comprehensive which
has yet been published this subject in this coun
try, and must be extremely interesting to the peo
pie of the United States, and especially TO al
those throughout the Union who may be connect
ed, by relationship, or otherwise. with these poo
and unfortunate prisoners.
The Texian prisoners, whose names are annexed
have been confined for long time in the Santiago
prison, near the city of Mexico, having no means
of communicating the knowledge Of their wretched
condition to the people of the United States, or OF
interesting the Government in procuring their re-
lease, have adopted the somewhat novel mode, and
the only one in their power, of communicating,
through the benevoence of private Mexican gen.
teman, knowledge of their terrible condition,
through the columns of the NeV York Herald.
Accordingly we received yesterday communica-
ton from Of the prisoners confined at Santiago,
which was brought to us by the gentleman from the
city Of Mexico, to whom we have Just alluded.
His great kindness and benevolence towards these
poor men have drawn many tears of gratitude from
their eyes. We learn that on their arrival at Mex
leo, he visited them, relieved their wants. covered
their nakedness ministered to them in sickness and
on the unfortunate death of many of their compa-
nions he had their bodies decenty Inferred in order
TO prevent them from being thrown upon the CON-
mons prey to the turkey buzzards. The grateful
terms in which the prisoners, from the Interior of
this dungeon, speak of this generous hearted mans
kindness, would draw tears from any human being.
We annex the following very important list ofthe
prisoners and their condition by the last accounts,
which were about the beginning of February
This list comprises the names of the men
who crossed the Rio Grande the 18th Of
December, 1912, to attack the town. Those not
marked are men in the castle of Perote or in the
Hospital. Eleven were suffering from the epide-
mic, and at the date OF the communication sent us,
twenty, in the simple but affecting terms of the
writer, were in the ditch to suffer no more ~
