Southern Liniment!
AND every Southerner will be satisfied by using one dol
lar'a worth, that they have no further use for Northern
Liniments. For Family and Plantation use It has no equal.
It cures Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Strains, Bruises, Burns,
Fresh Cuts, Pains in the Back or Limbs, Cholic in Man or
Beast, and is the only certain Remedy known for Blind Stag
gers in Horses; and every one will find ita savipg of time and

CURTIFIOATEB,
BaixnaiDOK, Ga., April 8. ‘56 —Dr. A. W. Allen—Dear
Sir—From my knowledge of the ingredients composing your
Liniment, and my experience In the sale of it for the last 6
years, I am prepared to say that there is no better, and I think
it must soon supersede all Liniments of like character.
D. J. DICKINSON, Druggist.
Ar.naNT. May. 21, 1858.—Being recently severely afflieted
with an attack of Rheumatism, I procured a bottle of the
at>ove named preparation, and was entirely relieved from the
disease in a short time, from a fsw applications.
I make this voluntary statement for the benefit of the pub
lic, and from a sense of gratitude to Dr. Allen. It may he,
and doubtless is by many who have never tried it, called a
quack medicine; bqt if quackery aiwavs gives as certain and
speedy relief as tLis preparation did, then I am from hence
forth a convert to quackery. Hinbt Mqg*n.

tetters from Texas—Tio. 6.
Dear Dr. Andrews :—For many weeks
I iTuve been prevented, by an unusual press
of business, from writing. At last, however,
a leisure moment has come, and I joyfully
embrace it.
In my last I promised a sketch of the
races, customs, Ac., of Texas. A volume
might be written on this subject, but I only
propose a very hasty sketch, and may not
always be positively correct.
This country, as you are aware, was once
a Mexican province, and still on the South
ern and South-western frontiers we have
some pretty extensive Mexican settlements.
They have settled in groups; and many of
the settlements have grown to the magni
tude of fine business towns. To be correctly
understood, we must refer to some of the
customs of the Mexicans under Mexican
rule.
They are divided into classes—upper,
middle, and lower. The upper class are
owners of large estates and splendid resi
dences, or haciendas, and innumerable herds
of cattle, and coviledos (pronounced cavi
yards) of horses and mules, with any amount
of slaves. The slaves are of their own
race, who have been so unfortunate as not
to be able to pay their debts, and have been
sold for said debts, and bought by their
present masters. Are they not a fine set of
fellows to rail against African slavery ? But
more in the proper place.
These great masters are really a very
clever set of fellows—refined in their man
ners, kind, hospitable, honorable. The la
dies of this class would compare favorably
with the ladies of any of the most refined
nations—polite, refined, good looking, fond of
music and the fine arts, communicative,
companionable. The men are gallant, and
even brave, and very fond of military pur
suits and all kinds of equestrian exercises.
The middle class are moderate livers, pay
their debts, and may get rich. They are the
most unscrupulous of all people on earth.
They have no sense of honor—are pusilan
imous, thievish and merciless. It is this
class that has really given this people their
name for treachery.
The third class, or slaves, are really sHavae
their condition most abject, most hope
less, Our negroes fare so much better that
a comparison would beggar any language
that could call it to mind. They are sought
after by their masters if they attempt to es
cape, just as our negroes are, and the law
allows the master discretionary power over
them,
\ ou know our laws will not allow those
who live in Texas to own white slaves, but
still the difference in the case is well marked
here.
Dancing is a favorite amusement among
all classes of Mexicans, and, like the Ger
mans, they are so fond of the waltz that it
might be called their national dauce. All
classes are fond of show aad amusement. —
The women of nil classes are said to be
honest—that they will guard strangers
against their thievish husbands and relations.
It would no doubt amuse you to see a Mex
ican ftndango, and if I could I would de
scribe one, but can only say, at present, that
the fandango belongs to the two lower
classes, and are free to all, even to strangers
of other nations, who are disposed to pay
the required fees. They dance all sorts of
dances, use all sorts of language, and gener
ally all get drunk.
The native Americans, or citizens from
the older States, next claim attention. Yon
already know that the pioneers of this State
were, many of them, men not much noted
for good morals, or their scrupulous observ
ance of law. Many of them were so re
publican in their notions, and such lovers of
liberty, that they were obliged to “leave
home a while” for exercising their liberty
where the law forbid.
But really, sir, many a cut-throat came
here and gallantly defended the rights of
Texas, fer which they received grants, then
located, and become good citizens; and, no
hat many a man, who, in the heat of
passion had “killed his man,” and found a
refuge in Texas, has become as good a citi
zen, as patriotic, and as good a Christian as
could be found in any country.
Since Texas threw off the Spanish yoke
and became a Republic, there baa been a
constant tide of emigration from all parts of
the Union to her delightful climate. Among
theae emigrant# were some, yea many, of
the best families from the different States.
To this circumstance, no doubt, Texas owes
her good society and fine laws—the first
equal to any of the old States, the second
in many respects far superior.
Among her admirable laws, are the laws
allowing married women to hold all their
own property and a community right in all
that is accumulated after marriage, those
protecting poor debtors, and the Homestead
law,
Every woman here is allowed to hold all
the property, both real and personal, that
she was possessed of at marriage, or that
she miy afterwards receive by heirship, or
otherwise. This, Doctor, is a good law, and
any one would be conscious of the fact who
would take the trouble to observe its effects
upon society. It is law, and all know it,
and if a man makes a trade with a stranger
he requires his wife to endorse it, and no
one i# offended, so we hear of no cases of
fraud here committed by insolvent husbands
with rich wives. Another advantage—
young bucks who would like to marry mon
ey are a little cautious, as they can only en
joy the income, and have a mistress to obey
beside.
The homestead act allows every family a
homestead worth $2,000 —a yoke of oxen,
or horse, one year’s provision, the tools of
the trade, Ac. This gives a man some
chance to make money and pay his debts,
(if he has unfortunately got behind a little,)
what he never could have done without
means. You may object to this law, but
practical demonstrations are in its favor, for
nearly every man here is good for his con
tracts—not an exception, perhaps, in a thou
sand cases. Our Constitution forbids im
prisonment for debt. The law allowing i t
in Georgia and other States, I had always
thought unjust and barbarous, and it no doubt
originated in the darker ages, when “ man
was allowed to make a hell for hi s fellow
man.” A man cannot make money in jail
to pay his debts, and I look upon the law
allowing imprisonment therefor as a foul
blot upon the statute books of any State.
No man was ever more in favor of sup
pressing side arms, or, as you would say,
“concealed weapons,” while a citizen of
Georgia. I have pressed the statute in the
grand-jury room, and on all occasions, and
verily believed I was doing God and my
country good service. Here, every man is
allowed to wear as many weapons as he
likes, and we very seldom hear of any one
being hurt In a difficulty a man expects
his antagonist to be armed, and they are
careful how they attack each other. lam
now fully convinced that any attempt to
suppress concealed weapons, or side arms,
is not only unnecessary, but injurious to the
common good. Such a law allows the un
principled rowdy (who fears no law, and
will carry them in open defiance of the stat
ute), a decided advantage over law-abiding
citizens.
I should not have alluded to these stat
utes only that they have much to do in form
ing the national character and controlling
the acts of the inhabitants. It is very sure
that tjie law allowing married ladies the
right of holding property equal with their
husbands tends to unite the parties, and
causes them to respect each other’s rights,
and causes many a man to look upon his
wife as his equal who would otherwise be
tyrannical. Such I have observed to be
the case in other States. The fact that the
home and tbe means ot a support are pro
tected and secured by law, removes the fear
of ultimate suffering from the mind of the
woman, and greatly tends to lessen that dis
tinction in society which in other places ex
ercises such a baneful influence. The law
giving the debtor a chance to pay (and not
destroying forever his hopes of living, by
pulling from under him his last prop, and
turning his family out of house and home,
upon the frigid charities of the world, and
immuring him, even, in prison till his family
are not only half starved, but have fost con
dence in themselves and everybody else, and
become quite reckless, and, perhaps, have
resorted to crminal means to keep from
starving), extorts a kind of confidence and
causes man to treat his fellow man with
some respeot. Nothing so totally ruins a
person as loosing confidence in himself. We
have no insolvent debtors here. The poor
man holds up his head as well as the rich,
and acts quite as independent, and, I might
add, is equally respected.
Allowing every man to carry side arms
toaehes men how to use them, and we have
a set of marksmen that would shame the
best company Kentucky ever produced.—
Many a Texan can ride his mustang pony
at full speed, and throw his body under his
horse’s neck, hang to the saddle only by one
foot, and fire with a six shooter at a wild
hog, fifty yards distant, also at full speed,
and kill it, with far more certainty than one
of your best Georgians could do with his
rifle, resting upon a log, and the hog still,
and staring him full in the face, the same
distance. Texans know their superior skill
in the use of arms, and are always ready to
defend their country against the invasions
of border foes. They are kind, generous,
brave, warm-hearted, true, patriotic.
There is, at this time, a spirit moving the
people of this country, with an energy
amounting almost to enthusiasm, upon the
subject of education. I feai that the rage
for high schools will greatly injure the cause.
What we need is plenty of good country
schools, not colleges in every county, and
schools for oadets at every cross road.
In regard to Churches, we have pretty
plenty, and I am bound to believe that there
is infinitely more religion, of the genuine,
pure, Bible kind, here, than in the older and
more fashionable States. Would yon like a
reason ? Here it is; If a man must judge
from what be sees, in Central Georgia, at
least, he is bound to conclude that preachers,
deacons, and all hands, look upon the indi
vidual who can afford the most costly and
attractive dress and sport the most showy
equipage, as decidedly the purest saint, and
all will speak of such an one as possessing
the “keys of the Kingdom,” and having
their conversation in Heaven,” while the old
grey-headed sire or matron, in plain apparel,
poor in this world’s goods, (but, according
to Scripture, “rich in Godliness,”) is told by
his sanctimonious spiritual adviser that he
can only “enter in” by “ fasting and prayer.”
This is not so much the case here. All,
rich and poor, go to Church together, and
seem to love each other very much, and
“ God is love” and no respecter of persons.
From these circumstances, I am bound to
believe that we have more of that kind of
religion that Heaven approves, and your
fashionable people more of the kind aristo
cratic man likes. But, Dr., I only give this
as my opinion.
There is one more class that I will notice
’ and then dismiss the subject, viz.: the Dutch,
In many places they constitute a large pro
i portion of the population. They are mostly
I Wmdiah, and speak the Dutch language
badly. They are honest, industrious and
economical, quiet, peaceable, pious—mostly
Lutherans. When this people become nat
uralized, or Americanized, they will no
doubt make first-rate citizens. They are
very fond of their national dance—the waltz
—and if you were to see one of these na
tive German girls waltz you would kick Mr.
Billy Goatee Frenchy, who professes to
teach your daughters to waltz elegantly , into
the blackest mud in Ockmulgee Swamp, (full
waist deep,) several miles below Macon.—
They make the waltz an easy, graceful ex
ercise, and never incur the risk of spoiling
t heir curls or knocking off their ear-bobs
with the lower hoops in the skirt of their
dresses.
These Germans are all educated. The
law of Germany gives every child seven
years schooling. Many of them speak sev
eral languages. I recently met a young la
day who could not speak a word of English,
and after several attempts to make herself
understood, she addressed me in the Latin
language, and we were enabled to under
stand and interest each other in a language
that I had never before heard spoken.
Long ere this reaches you I expect to be
far away upon “ a trip to the up country,”
and in my next I may give you an account
of horned snakes and toadified lizzards.
Very faithfully, yours,

For the Citizen.
A Figlit in the Dark.
Ellen Saulsberry was a dreamer, an en
thusiast, a sentimentalist. In intellect we
justly regarded her as our superior. ’Tis
true, she was in a good many of our classes
and invariably stood head. Betty and I oc
cupied a position somewhere about the mid
dle, and was always turning one another
down with persevering pertinacity; while
Sallie remained at the foot, —a fixture.
All four of us were considered equal in tal
entsof Mathematics,and formed a class to help
each other murder Mr. Smith. It must have
been a chord of mathematical sympathy that
drew us together and united ns into, what
our teacher called a “ Free and Easy Club.”
We looked upon punishments as a matter
of-course, and bore them good humoredly,
respectfully, and with quiet ease, Mr. M.
even said gracefully. Betty told me in af
ter years that she over-heard him say so,
though I confess I never did. We were
peaceably disposed, and would not give an
insult knowingly, neither would we take
one without resenting, each would resent in
her own peculiar fashion. E[len with quiet
scorn, Sallie with abusive words, grimaces,
and threatening gestures, until pressed too
closely, in which case she would give a pret
ty fair specimen of her speed in getting over’
ground I Sallie could outrun us all, and was
in better practice. Betty and I gave very
striking testimony of our pugilistic powers
by coming to down right blows.
A short time after our egg and salt sup
per with Slake, Dllen invited us to spend a
night with her. He father was absent and
her mother felt quite lonely. Sallie excused
herself, but Betty and I went. Just about
dark, a carriage full of Mrs. Saulsberry’s re
lations unexpectedly arrived, which occa
sioned some little alteration in the sleeping
arrangement, and Ellen, Betty and I were
sent up stairs into a large room in which
were two beds. Neither of us would agree
to sleep alone, consequently were compell
ed to sleep “ three in a qed,” although the
night was insufferably warm, and not a
breeze was stirring. “Ellen,” said I,just
before going to bed, “had we not better
lock the door?” “U no! its of no use,” —
replied Ellen. “ Why Ellen are you not
afraid?” asked Betty. “Certainly not!—
afraid of what!” “ I wish you would lock
it, neverthelss.” I remarked, taking my
place on the back side of the bed near an
open window. “ I v’ould’nt be as scary as
you are for anything ! My mottoe is, “Fear
not, but trust in Providence, wherever thou
mayst be!” With this quotation from El
len still ringing in our ears, we fell asleep.
Sometime in the night I was disturbed
and finally awakened by a succession of sin
gular noises. I listened. The sounds con
tinued, low and muffled, as if soMe one was
cautiously creeping around the foot of the
bed. Was it only a mouse or was it some
body ? I listened again scarcely daring to
breathe!
The darkness was intense ! and not the
faintest outlines of any object in the room
was discernable. Then I heard a subdued
scraping on the floor and a tapping, which
made my hair stand on end, and my eyes
expand to to the size of ordinary saucers. —
What could such mysterious noises mean ?
While I was trying to think of some proba
ble cause, the coverlet was gently pulled! —
Yes, I knew it was some person, a mouse
could never do that! What must I do!—
Scream! I might be murdered! O, if
Betty and Ellen would only awake! Could
I not wake them! Fear rendered me pow
erless to move and cold drops of perspira
tion stood upon my brow. Again was the
coverlet pulled, and then a hand —yes a hu
man hand was gently laid on one of my un
covered feet! My blood almost curdled in
njy veins! Ten thousand thoughts• flashed
like lightning through my brain! I thought
. of escape, by jumping out of the window
and breaking my neck l I thought of leav
ing’ Betty and Ellen to the murderous de -
signs of a midnight assassin ! I could not
do that I would share their fate! Then
I thought of our mothers, how shocked they
would be next morning when we were dis
covered in bed, with our throats cut from
ear to ear! Os what the Coroner’s inquest
would be “murdered by some unknown
s person or persons.” Perhaps it was some
NO. C3U
housebreaker wishing to rob, and whs trv
ing to satisfy himelf of our being asleep be
fore he commenced hi? robbery I I thought
I would snore, and let him know that he
had little to fear from us. if he would take
what he wanted and leave. I snored. A
low, half smothered chuckle answered me
and I felt a tight pressure of the haud on
my foot Something must be done, and
quickly! I would try to wake Ellen, nois
lessly. I made an effort to move, and did
move, although, only my arm, I set stronger.
I laid my band on Ellen, and after giving
her two or threee severe pinches and as
many digs in the ribs succeeded in arousing
her. 1 placed my hand on her mouth and
whispered low in her ear. “ Ellen there is
someone in the room, at the foot of our bed.
He has his hand on my foot now. Wake
Betty!” At that instant the hand was ta
ken off of my foot and grasped one of Ellen’s.
u O—h Imy goodness gracious Mollie!”
Thanks Ellen for that scream! It relaxed
my nerves *nd gave me power to act! I
sprang up in the bed, at the same time
somebody leaped into it, and we grappled.
I was no longer powerless, my blows fell
fast and struck home, although dealt at ran
dom. I was fighting for my life, and fought
with furiyus desperation ! “ Ellen wake
Betty, and tell her to help me fight!” I
screamed. “ O—h Mollie, now I lay me
down to sleep”—sung out Ellen rolling her
self up in the counterpane. “ Get up your
self Ellen and help me fight!” “Amen
Mollie,” squeeled Ellen as she finished roll
ing herself into a ball.
“ 111 know you in the morning,” I said as
I tried to break the wrist of my antagonist.
“111 know you in the morning” as I tried to
get a finger between my teeth! A well
turned blow laid me on my pillow. And
then Ellen shrieked, “Hallelujah! Mollie he’s
choking me I” up I sprang and met a pair of
hands that grasped my throat and squeezed
it till I gurgled. “I just dare you to choke
me,! I yelled as soon as the hands unloosed
their hold. “I’ll scream as loud as I can I”
a hand was placed on each of my shoulders
and I received a shake that made my teeth
chatter. “I’ll call somebody, I will! Ellen
I told you to fasten the door! Wake up
Betty, I’m nearly done for, I I shouted with
all my might. Suddenly the door opened,
and Mrs. Saulsberry rushed in followed by a
negro woman bearing a light. And who
should be on her knees in the bed, my vis a
vis, but that Betty Mulligan ! “What’s the
matter, girls?” asked Mrs. S. very much
frightened. ‘‘Ellen, what is the matter?”
“Somebody come to kill us, mal” “No such
thing, mam,” said Betty, “it was only my
self. I got too warm in the night and put
my pillow at the foot of the b*d. intendu g
to lie there, but it slipped out, and wh” I
was hunting patting it up, and smo'-th>ng
the countevpane. &c., to find out if thee
girls were asleep, and when I found Mollie
was not, I thought I’d have a little fun, and
jumped right into a brier-patcb. Look how
my hands are scratched!” They were
scratched badly, and the blood oozed out
beautifully. “How did you know I was not
asleep ? I asked. “Why, when I put my
hand on your foot, you snored, and you nev
er snore when asleep.” And Betty threw
back her head and laughed until the tears
stood in her eyes.
“Well I neber seed sich gals afore since I
was born in dis sinful worl!’’ muttered old
aunt Becky, following Mrs. S. out of the
room, who looked anything but delighted
with the disturbance, which Betty observing
was surprised that our hostess did not seem
so very well pleased. A light was left with
us, and after laughing and chatting over the
fright and fight, we went back to bed in the
best humor in the world.
“I say, Mollie, you fought like a wild-cat,
didn t you ? observed Betty reaching across
Ellen, to pull my nose. “Somebody else
did, I replied. “Only defending myself—
Bye-the-bye Ellen, I wish you would repeat
that sweet little prayer I heard you saying
just now. I remember when I was quite
small I used to repeat it every evening, and
it sounded so natural.” Ellen and I dropped
off to sleep and left Betty talking. But we
determined to be even with her, some day.
MOLLIE MYRTLE.
Difference in Wives. —Two weeks since
we were riding in the cars, when a gentle
man came and spoke to a lady directly in
front of us, who was seated beside a sickly
man, whom we thought was her husband.
The conversation turned upon the health of
her co panion, who was evidently a con
sumptive.
“Last winter,” said she, “I went to Kansas
with him. The winter before we spent in
Florida ; and now we are thinking of remo
ving to Wisconsin or Minesota, for she ben
efit of his health.”
The gentleman expressed sopie thoughts
relative to her hardships in thus going away
from her home and friends, and traveling so
much abroad.
“Oh!” she replied, “I do not mind that at
all; if he can regain his health; I like New
England better than any other part of the
country, for it is home; but lam willing to
live anywhere for his sake.”
Her husband made no reply as he heard
these words, but volumes were iu his eyes.
Theincidenthowever,did not particularly im
press us until we stopped at a station about
half hour afterwards. Then a friend entered
the car and took a seat by our side. He
was troubled with bronchial and lung diffi
culty, of some years standing. In course of
conversation we recommended a residence
in a certain Western State, to which he re
plied in substance:
“I should have been there months ago if
my wife had been willing to go. But all her
lriends are here iu Massachasetts, and no
consideration could induce her to leave for a
residence so far away.’
We looked at once at the strange woman,
whose conversation we cited. “Noble wife,”
we said. “One of a thousand, doubtless, in
this spirit of self-denial for her husband’s
sake.’’ There is a certainly a great difference
between those two wives. —Happy Hours.
