"I regard it as a truth that bad it not

The Austin Convention was a
body of practical, sensible men,^á£it
tbeir newspaper projéct is impraiCti
cable, and will not succeed. Oeatral
committees may do very well for
the management of party organiza-
tions, but when they attempt to run
newspapers they will fail. Such at
least is our very decided opinion.
Such a scheme may work amoothly
enough until the point is reached
where the^bmey is to be paid, but
right at thtWy0'11*' it will miscarry,
and the babe will falL still-botn.—
There are a great lífrgl most excel-
lent men of ample TOeans among the
Democracy of Taiaa; buttha best
of them, and those whose resources
are largest, will soon tire of a news
paper, or anything else, which lives
aa a mere pensioner upon the chari-
ties of tho party, and which depends
for its subsistence upon party taxa
tion. Individual interests, talent
and energy are indispensable to sue
oess in any new paper enterprise.
And backed by just such appliances,
tho party has already ap orgfa at
tho capital. Let good men through

Indian Raid in Burnet.
We have received aouie additional and
interesting particulars from our corres-
pondent at Cedar Mill, of the late Indian
raid, which we commend to the perusal
of our readers:
It is supposed the Indians crossed the
Colorado at Wolia's crossing,* Bome fifteen
or twenty miles above here. Tbey made
their headquarters in the dense cedar
bcakes along on Morgan creek, where
they sallied out for four nights in succes-
sion and .committed -thejí deprec(atipní
upon the peaceful citiaena West of the
town of Burnet along the North Gabriel.
They did not follow tbeir usual plan of ,
dashing in upon the communities itudj ¿V*

(rather in*oi nigWB' time, but they re- P°J,. „ ,, ... .
mained for four days, operating in every
direction at iriglrt, and taking reluge in
day tffeio in the dense cedar brakes. On
the ¿tight of the fifth inst., they made a
genera) laid throughout the county, but
tU only obstacle to their excesses, was
neulouu and unftiuching champio^of for anatta^when
Democratic princtjtles and woasurct*
tlirough the country apparently without
any caution; and by the noise they made
in collecting and herding horses, aroused
the people, who ran out to wateh from
their stables and fence corners, that they
might thereby for once surprise the sav
ages. They wire fired at a great many
times during the night, but whether to
atiy effect is not known,
otwithstaudingit was night the tou-
zens collected together, ana proceed^
to th head of Morgan creek, to guard a
certain noted Indian pass. Another
