thinks it may replace marble, and adds. that owing

can be cast into the most delicate and intricate

MASSACHUSETTS, U. S. SENAToR-The result
of the ballot yesterday in the House, demonstrates
that Mr.. Sumner cannot be elected to the U S
Senate unless there is change of votes in his favor
from those opposed to his election, which cannot
be anticipated. We honor the indepe ndence and
patriotic devotion OF the national democrats who
have thus far defeated The unfortunate combination
which threatened to place the democratic party OF
Massachusetts, in hostile attitude TO the whole dem
ocracy of The Union. They have saved the State
and the country from this disaster. and we ear
nestly beseech them to adhere, with inhexbe firm.

sued. They may rely upon it that the gratitude o
the nation and the applause of all lovers of the
Union will be theirs. Boston Post, January lGh

I,,d;aus.-N the late treaty with
the Indians the disturbances still continue. We
quote from the Austin State Gazette;
"a gentleman, just from Gonzales, where he
met Capt. H. L. McCulioch, has kindly furnished
us with the following particulars OF an engagement
with party of Indians, near Goliad, by portion
of Captain McCullochs company
Lieutenant King, with seven men, came upon
body of eleven Indians, who were in possession oil
a considerable number Of horses, which they were
driving off: he Immediately charged upon them,
and fight ensued in which Lieutenant AIng was
slightly wounded. Night coming on, and the In
dams having sheltered themselves IN the timber,
he drew off and returned to camp. Inc next
morning Captain McCulloch started IN pursuit,
and about twelve o'clock came in sight oil the In
dams, then only seven in number, from which it
is supposed that several were killed in the fight OF
the preceding evening. Capt. McCulloch chased
them about fifteen miles, when the Indians having
left all their horses, and disencumbered themselves
of every thing calculated to impede their hight the
pursuit was abandoned. The horses, which were
afterwards ascertaned to have been stolen from the
neighborhood of Goliad, were recovered and a
considerable amount Of booty thrown away by the
Indians in their flight. This party is said to have
been Lipans, tribe which we observe were par
ties to the recent treaty made near rredericks-
burg"
COLORADO RAFT.-We are gratifed to learn
that the Commissioners of the Colorado Navlga-
ton Company have made arrangements to re- COM
mence the work for the removal of the raft IN the
Colorado. They have engaged the services OF w
Ward, Esq, and intend to place gang OF twenty
or thirty negroes under his charge, to remove the
logs and other distractions. The Commissioners
were in doubt for some time whether it would be
more advisable to remove the raft or open new
channel around it. The majority have determined
to remove the raft, and they hope that in few
months the navigation of this beautiful river Will
be opened for the first time since the lines of civil
ization extended to its banks. [ Houston Tele-
