The Columbia Gunyqiian contains the fol-
lowing paragraph, in connection with the
mass meeting at the Tunnel:
"Will the Courier be kind enough To give
us some information which may be desirable
for those who intend going. Will there be
conveyances enough at Pendleton to convey
all the expected visitors; what day ought
passengers to leave Columbia will there he
any accommodation at the Tunnel for stayinp
oil night or il not, what arrangements will
be made for nights lodging there? This
information will be very desirable to many
who wish to be present on the imteressiag &
occasion."e
In answer thereto we have . say, that
vehicles for,inyited guests have been engaged
at Pendloton, and we doubt rot hacks and
wagons will be in waiting there and at An.
deraon for all who may como passengers
should leave Coiumbialon v. cdr esday morn
ing, though it you'd be better to do so on
Tuesday; lodging for alarge number of per-
sons can be obtained at The Tunnel, in the
neighborhood, and at Walhalla-the latter
place being only six miles from the former.

A few Words bY the Way.

TO our brethren of the press, who have so
kindly and complimentary. welcomed our pros
porous entrance upon the eleventh volume of
this journal, we tender our hearty thanks with
the assurance that they occupy high place in
our regard and esteem.
To those friends who have. within the last
month, added largely to our subscription list
and to others who have long, generously, AMI
warmly supported us we are truly thankful In
fact, steady increase in the patronage of the
paper has continued since our connection with
1t. With large subscription list, the columns
OF the COURIER arc rendered to advertisers, will,
many advantages.
For our enemies, (and we regret to have it to
say that VIC have logging at our heels n few of
the whitc-livcrcd trihc.) We have an abundant
supply of mingled pity and contcup;.
