On Friday morning we. in comtmnv wit.1i tlm i

wo found already tlure, a larire number of la

pialfoitn earn for our accommodation. No pns- j
setigor cars were there. Of course we had tlic j
choice of the seats and cars vet unoccupied, j
and we cheerfully went aboard to the tunc of j
"I>ixie Lind," which the Negro Band of An- j
del son were p'nying for our benefit? As lotifi ;
as we romnincd ai the K.epot sjorej continued |
to come till the time for leaving arrived, when |
four or five hundred were on the train iinpa- I

Along the road ?;t a nnmher o.C places the
the nccominodatini! conductor stopped his train
to ail>l other? to onr already larjre crowd.?
At Six and-Twenty Creek Trestle we look
on board quite a number of ladies ami
gentlemen, and we were resylved lo '-stand
our ground," and so wo did. A bouncing
young la<lv with beauty einniuh took the liber- j
tv of occupying a porlioii.of the seat we were |

When we arrived at Pendleton a ijreaj'.erowd
