Of the conduct of the blacks, under the state'pf things, the following extracts from the Jgmaiai Gazette, will furnish our read I ers with correct ideas: ".The apprentices," snys the Kingston .Chroicle, " are treated by the special magtraites and their subordinates, as - spolichild ron. They are petted, humored encQgruged in idleness and waste of time and taught to expect indulgence which tholeirimasters cannot nford to give theim gratis--and when denied these indulgencies they.jre encourage(i imn the bmelief that they are ill treated and imposed upon.

Wharton, late Minister Plenipotentiary from Texas in the United States, soine particu lars of his distressing captivity and mirae ulous escape firom the dungeoas of his Mex iean oppressors. On the 17th of April last, after a fight of more than seven hours, the Independence in which lie was passenger surrendered to two Mexican 18 gun brigt. The combat IMd capture took place almost in sight or the Colonel's residence from which he had been absent for months on a mission to the United States. Ile was carried to Mata muras and confined for four months in a low damp and dark prison, where he was almost sullbeated with heat, continually torniited with liens, exceedingly incom moded by tihe stench of the llospital, which was next door to him, and deprived of his rest every night by the screams of the sen tiiel uttered every fifleen minutes within a few feet of his head. For four months such was his situation, dependant for sustenance entirely upon his own resources, shut out froan the light of heaven, except what the narrow gates of the dungeon admitted, and demlied even the privilege of medical aid, when languishing undei an illness, brought on by the rigorous privations of his ca ptivi ty. flis escapei however was at last effected, the details of which cannot now he made public, for fear of compromitting the safety of the miagnaninmous individuals, residents of Matamtioras, to whose aid he was indebt ed for delivery. On escaping from prison lie wts corn plled by the treachery of his guide to re main hid in a low prickly pear thicket for eleven days, within hearing of the drums and sentmiels of M atamoras. and very often npproached within a few yards by the sol diers and itidiais in constant search for him, tempted by the magnificent price of $5000 set upon his head, dead or alive. In this thicket of thorns lie could not stand erect, being taller than most of the bushes for fear of being discovered, nor for the same reason could lie build a shelteragainst the burning rays of an August sun, almost within the topics. During three days and nights lie tasted neither food or water. liis sufferings under these privations, were inexpressable, and such as none can realize unless taught by experience. After suffer ing 11 days in this situation, a guide furn ished him with a horse, and he started on his journey home. Doubting the fidelity 0r1t uh Atjmiq'qe Wgin.,snA t oit provisions, a pilot or knowledge of his route -when after 15 days lie arrived. Oi asking Colouel Wharton how lie sus tained himself under these heavy trials of I heart, body and mind, his reply was, that lie existed under time hope &. confidence that a day of retribution and vengeance would arrive, Whei prone to the dust his oppressor should be hurled, Their muane-their iature withdrawn from the world " He was a firm believer in the truth of a sentiment uttered ly him in his first speech for his country, delivered in this city in De cember, 1835-it was this: "That the ball of revolution now started in Texas, would never cense to roll, till the cannon dis charged from the heights of Bunker's Hiill should he answered by klmdred peals, re echoing from Cape lorn. and proclaiming the glad tidings (if the emancipation of true Americans from the shackles of civil and religious oppression.' It was an ardent conviction of these truths that animated hin in the struggle, andm1 sustainied .iantimng Una turc under the pressure of unmitigated suf foermgs. r The following statement showing the proporio of nutricious miatter contained in the articles therein named respeiively, will demonstrate the erroneousness of the notion entertained in favor of aninal food.
