Americans i'll Prison III WeXico.---
Shocking Treutment.

On the 18th ult.. five Americans arrived
at San Antonio, Texas, from California,
having come by overland route from Ma
zatlau, on the Pacific. From these gen
tlemcn the San Antonio Ledger has OBJ
tanned the following particulars Of the i'm
prisonment Of three Americans
In the city OF Durango. Mexico, they
learned in private manner that there
were some Americans in the city prison,
and they afterwards got permission to
visit them They found them in large
stone dungeon, Of so filthy a description
that it was almost impossible for visitors
to remain in the entrance way but few
minutes. The Americans in confinement
were three in number, and tn ir names
and former places OF residence were as
follows William Shirley. Broom CO.,
New York !; William Rogers. Stark CO.,

their chains were removed 10 save their

The flesh is partly healed over these
wounds, leaving the most heart scken-
ing scars. which were all seen by the five
persons above mentioned.
They state that they were imprisoned
on the charge of numbering and rObbing
a man for his money, and they state also
from facts which they are in possession
of, the person who committed the murder
escaped. They have been trying to get
a trial, but hearing is refused them
They have written letters to the Amerl-
can Minister in Mexico several times, and
they have reason to believe that he has
never received them.
Our informauts learned from many re-
spectacle Spaniards in Durango that it
was impossible to get evidence and the
great mass of the people believe them in
noceut. The youngest of these prisoners,
John Gaines, of Dayton, Ohio, is only II
years old.

HORRIBLE OUTRAGE "a very aggrava-
ted case of the hostility borne by foreign
ers to American born citizens, occurred
in Washington city few days since. A
hale looking, athletic German, who emf
grated to this country about 5 years ago,
called a young American born boy, about
twelve years of age, from the public
streets. and when he got him safely en-
sconsed within his own doors, he took a
switch and switched him until he cried
and howled so that he might have been
heard at a squares distance. To be sure,
the american born boy aVQs tile son of The
foreign German, and was chastised for
teasing and annoying poor creature Of
ten seen on the streets. When the boy
joi2ed his comrades again, they inquired
wniiat his father whipped him for; he told
them, ana Sckno Sledged that he deserved
all lie got, and would not have cared for
the whipping, but he did not like to be
licked by foreigner.

BATTLE WITH PIRATES. The pirates in
the East Indies, in spite of all the warfare
waged against them by Europeans, seem
to swarm, and to manifest great daring in
their undertakings. Lately, band loca-

ANNUAL MEETING OF THE BALTIMORE
AND ONO RAILROAD CoMPANY.-The an
nual meeting of the stockholders of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, on the 10th
inst, was one Of the most interesting and
important on the subject of our railroad
matters which, perhaps, has ever trans
PRED. The movement, which YVES com
menced in the meeting of stockholders
lately at the exchange, calling for change
of policy in the Company's affairs, has
been firmly and earnestly followed up. and
has so far succeeded in its object as TO
elect the ticket then unanimously nomina-
ted. The vote was an unusually large
enc, and shows an average Of about 60 90 :
900 shares Of stock in favor Of the new
movement, against an average of about
t,OC0 for the present administration tick
et In this latter is included 5000 shares
of the city Of Wheeling, cast against the
private stockholders movement. Preyi
Gus to the election there vas an animated
debate Of several hours duration on the
question of accepting the Presidents re-
port on the merits Of his policy, and though
there was very decided expression Of
opinion on all sides, and especially in con,
demn4tion Of tho Presons administration
yet all was most courteous and free from
acrimoniousncss. Indeed, the honesty O
purpose, integrity of character, and fdel
ity to supposed duty Of those whose poi
cy it was thought proper to oppose, wa:
conceded by all the speakers.
