Board Of Public Rprkr.

We learn from the Enquirer of yesterday that
Col. Edward J. Armstrong, of Barbour has becn
nominated by tue Winchester Convention as the
Democratic candidate in the Third District, for
Commissioner of Public Works. The Enquirer
pronounces this an excellent nomination." and
says that it will command general commenda-
ton in the State" The public are also indebted
to the same journal for the information that Col.
Armstrong was member Of the Reform Conven-
ton Of 1650-51. We are ashamed to confess that
this is the first time we ever heard of Col. Arm
strong, and we Of course have nothing to say
at present either for or against his nomination.
1t Is humiliating TO us, certainly thus to be COM
PEELED to acknowledge our ignorance respecting
this new Democratic luminary, but we derive
some little consolation from the couvc ton that at
least nineteen twentieths of the people of this
Commonwealth are in the same uneuviable pre-
dicament with ourselves. The majority is with
US, and that's some comfort.

THE TEXAS INDIANS.

Accounts from Texas state that the Indians are
becoming decidedly hostile and daring in their
depredations the frontier along the upper
Brazos. party of Witchtaws recently stole
number Of horses from Fort Croghan, and:made
good their escape. They were pursued by Mai.
Sibley, who went into the Indian agency, situa-
ted about thirty-fve miles from Fort Belkuap
where he found party of Camanches and
Witchitaws holding talk with the agent. With
the appreciation of the Cainanches, Major Sibey
made prisoners of eight of the principal warriors
OF the Witchitaws, who were Immediately dis
armed. He then made arrangements to send
two of the prisoners back to their village for the
stolen horses, and with this understanding, in
which the Witchitaw Tvs apparently acquiesced, the
whole party went to Sleep About twelve O'Clock
at night, the principal chief of the accused In
dams sp ang up, drew pistol which he had con-
cealed and shot one of the sentines through the
heart, and was himself Immediately shot by an
other sentinel. AS the chief fell, he repeatedly
stabbed the man he had shot, and then buried
the knife in his own breast. Daring the confu-
sion which ensued, the other Witchitaw prison
ers made their escape. Upon examining the
tent occupied by the chief who had thus put an
end to his own existence, it was found that pre-
vious to killing the sentinel, he had with his own
hand put to death his wife and child a buy about
eight years of age, evidently expecting that he
would be killed, and preferrng to be the murderer
of his wife and child rather than let them fall
into the hands of the whites. 1t was thought
too, by the officers, that he made the self>sacr-
flee in order TO aid the escape of his companions.

TWILIGHT.

Sweet twilight comes. with gentle step,
And dusky mantle, wet with dew.
And throws her shadowy form athwart
The sunset SKY, of golden hue.
!, pensive, stray, with lingering step,
And mute upon the buried past,
Of days gone by, Of fearful hours,
And joys too feeting, long to last.
I think upon that Silly eve
When first we met in halls Of light;
When first thy face of beaming love,
Broke on my gazing, raptured sight.
feel again thy soft white hand,
AS when it first in mine was prest
Isee those starry, lovelit eyes,
That beamed on me and made me blest
But twilight deepens into night,
And sad thoughts gather round my heart;
The Visions 6ed--I feel, alas
That we are doomed. for age to part.
It's sad tbs sad. to think that we
Should e'er have met but to be parted:
To roam alone, in this drear world,
And weep apart, both broken hearted.
The stars come forth, in beauty bright
And glitter on the dark blue sea-
While not cloud obscures their light
And ashley shine. l think of thee.
Think of thee-ah never more,
Can that thought tear from my heart;
While LIES burden bear that thought
Shall in my bosom claim part
The spell is broke, l wake me now,
And cast my dreams of love away,
To cold, hard hearted fate bow.
And rouse me, now, to busy day
But when sweet twilight comes again,
And throws her dim veil DER the world
My Borrowing heart i'll bleed afresh,
And all my sad thoughts be unfurled.
