MARVELLOUS FEAT 4 {

L @AAAASN
How the efeminate ones Of our cas-
tern cities would star If they were 10
witness the feats Of hardy manhood
which are occureGces in The mighty
West. We find the following ii an
exchange paper:
Dixon OUTDoNE-We thougbtlhat
Geo. Washington Dixon had perform
ed marvellous feat in walking sixty
consecutive hours without rest; but
were yesterday informed by a typo
graphical brother Of a performance still
more extraordinary. He states That
while an apprentice, job of rule and
figure work being promised by certain
time, he commenced work on new
type early on Monday morning and
continued without intermissiorf fs9ss
E6rly to eat his meals until 10 o'clock
on Wednesday night never having
slept moment. This would make
upwards of sixty hours all the time at
work. Dixon must try again.-BQlt'
Clipper.
So much for the IiIIiputians of the
city-7now clear the way for the men
ofthe WesI-We can beat both these
marvellous feats" so far that they
shall never be heard of again:-Wc
know man who while, keeping a
tavern in the Chickasas ration about
the time of the Land Sales, did not
sleep for fifteen days and nights, just
three hundred hours longer than Dix
on's time During these fifteen days
he had forty-fve fights with Indians,
and did not get whipped once. On
the 10Th nighth rode from Old Ponto-,
toe to New Pontotoc, a distance Of IL
miles-went to bed at 10 o'clock gotto
sleep at IL, rose at 4 next morning,
and rode; that day sixty-four miles !,
without stopping, reached the end of
his journey, which was undertaken to
see sick child, by 2 o'clock, 2. NJ.
The same gentleman has rode one
hundred and eight miles in twenty
three hours, and thirly-fve minutes
sixteen miles in one hour-all on little
mare, now in possession Of Rev. VIM.
Mcmahon, Of De. Soto, Miss. He
has kept movable tavern, travelling
twelve miles day and feeding at the
same time an average of from three.
TO four hundred persons each day
for thirty days in succession-his
receipts frequently averaging $500
day, and once reaching as high as
1878. He has been several times
"fat broke" and reduced from the,
Pinnicle ofprosperiry TO the depths Of
adversely, yet has never responded of
working his way up again TO wealth
and independence. He has nearly all
his life been a militia officer, and has
mademore Colonies than there is in the
army lists ofthe United States, Great
Britain and France all together We
shall be believed as to this part of our
story at least, when we say the gentle
man alluded to is GENERAL TIC. Nc
MAcKIN, Of this city.
How do you feel now, ye that have
made such atodo about George Wash
ington Dixon's "feat7"
P.S. The foregoing statement offacts
can be proven to be true if necessary

TO me Publisher Of a Newspaper, TO pay the sub
scriptiou Of third person, and frank the letter,
If toritten By himself"
NorE.-Some subsCribersmay not be aware
OF the above regulation. IL will be seen, that
by requesting the Post Master where they re-

he will do so upon being satisfied that the let

TEXAS-NO, ,

Sir +: In my last promised TO say moth,
ing about the government Of TeraS.
1t will not be necessary for me 70 say
much upon this subject, after informing
you that Texas, has .Studious.y patterned
after the United States, and that many,
very many, of its Old inhabitants are not
sensible that any difference whatever ex-
lists. The Fathers of Texas are the sons
of the Urited States, and we should deem
them unworthy of their high and distin
guiShed birth to have formed a govern
ment different from that which is held up
and pointe at by an admitting world
The Republic of Texas is in fact de-
cendant of the United States, settled upon
its own premises, TO work upoa ''its own
hook" "a chip of the ole block" A
Democratic, Republican Government.
The Constitution is similar to that oil
the United States, being formed by per
sons born and raised under our Conslitu
ton varying however in some few par
ticulars, which the people of The United
States admit 10 be an impro, rent.
1t has been a cause for wonder and as
constituent, that a document SO compiled
ted, so important in all its parts an hear
ings and yet an experiment; should b.
so perfect and SO we'll adapted to tn
young aud vigorous nation of The Unite
States. Time, however has convincet
many, and perhaps majority of our PEG
pie that an Improvement could he mad

The Columbus Rifemen will cele-
brate their 9Th anniversary this week,
by an encampment at Brandywine
spring, they contemplate leaving town
Thursday morning at 6 O'Clock, and
returning Saturday evening. VoIun-
teer companies find no encouragement
in the laws Of our State. They are
placed on the same footing with the
militia subject to the same penalties,
obliged to parade with them, and altho'
they may spend much time in discip-
lining themselves, and money in uni
forming and sustaining their company
yet should it fail, or a member leave its
ranks though he may have been on du-
ty 20 years, if he is under 45 years
of age, he is returned to do duty and
suffer the same penalties with those
who have runthe gauntlet ofmilitia ser.
vice without tythe of the loss Of time
or expense. Other States exempt vol.
unteers from ordinary militia duty, af-
ter service of seven years and some
exempt volunteers from Jury duty
ought it not to be so with us.-We
throw out these hints for those who
hold the destinies Of the State in thei
hands. If they would encourage tn!
organization of such companies as GU
Rifle Company, it would do much tc
raise the military standard ofour State
