AMERICANS IN PRIsoN.-In the Galveston Times we find the follwing horrible disclosures, taken from the San Antonio Western Texan, of the 7th:
 Five gentlemen arrived in San Antonio Sep- tember 4, who are just returning from Califor- mia, having come by the overland route from Mazatlan on the Pacific; their names and pla- ces of residences are as follows: Richard M. Head, Bibb county Ga; J. John w. Cole, Holly Springs, Miss; James Schoolfeld, Hamilton county, Tenn; David Schoolfeld, Homilton CO.,, Tenn; David Spring. Fort Smith, Arkan- sas.
 From these persons we learn the following painful disclosure: In the city of Durango, Mexico, they learned in private manner that there were some Americans in the city prison, and they afterwards gotpermission to visit them. They found them in large stone dungeon, of 90 filthy description that it was almost impos- sible for the visitors to remain in the entrance way but few minutes. The Americans in confinement were three in number, and their names and former places of residence were as follows: Wm. Shirley, Broome county, N. Y.. William Rogers, Starke county, Ohio and John Gaines, Dayton, Montgomery county, Ohio.
 These men have been in this filthy dungeon four years and three months, and during two years of this time, they were chained down to the floor, in total darkness, where they could not see any person but the one who fed them their starving allowance.
 At the end of two years the huge chains around their ankles and wrists had wore the flesh off to the bone; and such was their horrid condition that their chains were removed to save their lives and keep them in misery the longer. The flesh is partly healed over these wounds leaving the most heart-sickenng scars, which were all seen by the five persons whose names are mentioned above.
 They state that they were imprisoned on the charge of murdering and robbing man for his money, and they state, also, that from some facts which they are in possession of, the per- son who committed the murder escaped- They have been trying to get trial, but a hearing is refused them. They have written letters to the American minister in Mexico sev- eral times, and they have reason to believe that he has never received them.
 Our informants learned from many respecta- ble Spaniards in Durango, that it was i'm possi- ble to get evidence to convict them; and the great mass of the people believe them inno- cent. The youngest of these prisoners, John Gaines, of fDayton, Ohio, is only 17"years old.

MR. SoULE's ABSENCE FROM ABRoAD-The Paris correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune, says:
 The statemnet of the London Times and other journals, that Mr. Soule has been fright ened away from Madrid, and that he would not again return, is scarcely worth contradiction. Every one who knows MT. Soule, must know that he is not the man to be frightened from his post by anything. That he sympathized with the republican party, and gave aims to the suf- fering families whose protectors had died at the barricades, is true; but that he leagued him. self publicly with any party, distributed money at the barricades, as charged, or committed any other over act, is false. In sympathizing With the republicans he did not commit as great an offense against the government as did Lord Howden, the British minister, in concealing O'Donnell when there was price offered for his head. In letter received yesterday from MT. Soule by his relatives in this city, he says, that, there being no probability of carrying on negotiations with the Spanish government in the present state of affairs, he has left for lit tie recreation, intending to return at the end of three or four weeks to Madrid. He is staying with his family at Castiglionne in Ariege, a de- partment in the south of France, where Mad anne Soule owns some property. MT. Soule and his son spend their time hunting in the mountains.
