OLD BERKS-A STATE.-During a close
Presidential election in Pennsylvania some years
ago, and lorg before The lightning line' was es.
l~ablished, a gloomy party Of Ohio politicians
were sitting down in small Office in Columbus,
Ohio, ciphering OUT he returns Of Pennsylvania,
to see il il could possibly be made 10 60 for The
Democratic candidate, and il so happened that
Old Belks was amongst The last counties 10 be
received. All eyes in Ohio we're then turned TO
the sterling D. democracy Of the Keystone county
Of the Keystone State, but it seemed 10 be hoping
against hope, 10 exPec, one county TO change Inc
resri;. as, 10 them, il ,hcn stood. Suddenly how
ever, The Fostman's horn was heard, a messenger
was despatched 10 The Pest Office, the returns
brought in, BeIks was good for 1000 majority for
the Democracy, and Pennsylvania was redeem
ed. Then ii was that Inc eloquent Broush cried
out in a p%aroxism of delight, "By the eternal,
from this day forth, lei old Berks lie called a
State" Ifoh Berks was worthy ci being called
a Sla'e then, we see no reason why she should 70,
nor be called a democratic Coniederacv."

COMMUNICATE


Al a meeting Of the Officers of The 95,h resi.
men, TO cleo, a Lieutenant. Colonel in The place
CT our Lieut.. Col. Holmes, who resigns because
he is about 10 leave The Stale, The following reso-
luton was unanimously adopted:
"Resolved, That We, the Officers of The 95lh
regiment, feel that, in the removal OF our gallant
Lieut.. Col. Holmes from The Stale, we have NOT
only lost one that combines in his character eve-
ry quality that makes The perlrcl gentleman, The
benevolent, moral and useful citizen, but an oiii-
Ger that wonld he an ornament 10 any regiment,
or any service whatever; that, il he were call
ed upon TO acl upon The battlefield, we doubt
not that bis bravery and military talents would
earn Tor him a name mol The least among The re-
nowned; and Thai, wherever lie may 60, or wher-
ever his loI may be cast, he carries with him our
best, warmesl and most heartfelt wishes Tor his
prosperity, success and happiness"
II would he difficult to describe the scene,
which took place during and after the reading
OF the above resolution. There were those who
had been united 10 The same regiment long enough
10 know the subject Of The resolution as every
way worthy of The commentator contained
therein, (it il can be called commendation,) who,
now that they realized that he had lett The REGIMENT
and was about 10 leave his native State, could
rot repress their tcars-soldiers' tears shed al
parting with a ~soldier-proving their appre
cialinn cf tie man. il was a scene loo much
for him 10 reply "hc could only sincerely thank
The board Tor the honor done him." Virginia has
parted with many Of her sons, some gone 10 other
States 10 Try The wbims Of tickle fortune, some
gone 10 The seat OF war 10 win laurels in The hor.
rible clash Of aims, but it has parted with none
in whose bosom a warmer, drawer or more pa
lriolic heart rul>ates. In saving This, as request
ed by The board TO do. | speak lut he sentiments
OF all who knew 1t. Col Holmes.
