"a New Volume.

This number commences the third volume
OF the COURIER since the war. From small
sheet, we have RI turned to tho size attained
in former years This has not been accom-.
pushed without severe effort and considerable
,outlay Our patronage, though not as large
asfn former years, is steady and constantly
increasing A slight effort on the part of
friends would render the COURIER more re-
muncrativc-c enable US thereby to make ii more
rcadable-aud one Of the permanent institu-
tons of the District.
POLITICALLY, an ominous cloud illumcs the
prospect. But We arc not without hope. A
brighter day will dawn for this great land, and
its host of liberty loving, energetic people -
Let us have patience with our manifold trials
and troubles; let us ply tho peaceful ovoca.
tions Of life, and bury the past in renewed
conflicts for advancement in the future. There
is work for all the Church, the Teacher, the
Laborer. Our District is rich in natural re-
sources, let us never tire in developing them
Our climate and soil are the favored Of the
earth, let us invite the laborer and the arti-
san to enrich us by their labor and SKILL
Keeping these things in view, we shall emerge
from lowliness and poverty, to strength and
pospcrty. Ours Shall be the pleasing duty
to assist in passing our people, "dry shod,'
from this pestilent Egypt, to the "promiscd
land| Gi,o(us help in the work.
Mail facilities is one of the needs Of this Sec
tion. Our anomalous condition makes ere
construction" in this matter, difficult; but
excrtion is being made to restore maifarrange.
ments to their former desirable condition.
This will greatly enlarge our present circula-
ton and increase our patronage generally.
The price of the COURIER henceforth will
be Two Dollars per annum. 1t affords an
excellent medium for Merchants and others
to spread their business before the public
Liberal deductions are made to those who ad.
vertisc by the year. ~.
