Another outrage.
The following is from u Icxas

The following is from n Icxas pa
per.
Five gentlemen arrived in San An
t'nio, Sept. 4th, who are just return.
ing from Cal'tDrn'a, having come BY
the overland route from Mazatlan, on
the Pa:iic-their names and places of
residence are rs follows:
Richard Nj. Head, Is bb county,
Georgia: John w. Cole, Holly Springs,
Mississippi; Jas. ScI,ooliield, llA,nIl.
ton county, Tennessee; David Spring,
Fort Smith, Arkansas.
From these pelsuus we learn the
following painful disclosure: In tn.
'c'ty OF Durango, Mexico, they learned
in a private manner that there were
some Americans in the city prison,
and they afterwards got permission to
visit them. They found them in IL
large stone dungeon of SO filthy de.
scription that it was almost impossible
tor visitors to remain in the entrance
way but a few minutes. The Amer.
leans in confinement were three III
number, and their names and former
places of residence were as follows:
William Shirley, Broom County, New
York; William Rod gers, Stark Coun
ty, Ohio John Gaines. Dayton, Mont.
gomery county, Ohio. These men
nave been i'll this filthy dungeon four
gears and three months, aud during
two years ofthis time they were chair.
cd down to the floor, in total darkness
where they could not see any person
outthe one who fed there starving al
lowance. At the end of two years the
huge chains around their ankles and
wrists had aocrn Ae flesh off to til.
bone. and such was their horrid con
dition, that the chains were removed
to save their lives and keep them ii
misery the longer. The flesh par;l,
healed over these wounds. leaving lllt
most heartrcnding scars, which wer.
oil seen by the five persons WHOSE
