Mr.. EDIroR:-Our metropolis is city
situated on the banks of the Schuylkill
river, about one degree north of the "Qua-
ker City," and is overlooked by a range of
m ountains called Nevsrsink, on which the
famous First of August" is usually cele-
brated by the prescribed Americans of this
city. 1t is very healthy city, admirably
situated. Its inhabitants are principally
German, and what are known to us as
Pennsylvania Dutch Need | say that it
is in "Old Berks" where the political contest
between J. CLANCY Jones and Maj. John
Schawrtz was held, the former being a
strong Administration Democrat, and was
defeated This county has always been
Democratic, consequently that important
change, it was thought, was the death-blow
to the Democratic party.
The colored citizens are about organic
ing military company in this city, to be
called the Douglass Guards. William S.
Fry, Captain. They have been meeting
for some time in the colored Odd Fellows
Hall, Tenth street, for the purpose of drill
ing. The company numbers some twenty
or thirty persons, all warlike men. They
have not, as yet, adopted uniform, but
the talk is that their suits will be black
pantaloons and coats, and large caps, and
several other additions which / cannot de-
scribe. The "Garnet Guards" of our
State Capital, intend visiting Reading the
first of October next, also the " Star Club
