This remarkable regiment was or.

1861, was composed ofthrcc companies
from York, two from Fairfield, two
from Pickcns. two from Lancaster and
one from Richand, The companit

B. by John l.. Miller, of York; Com
Company y by Edwin Il. Bouktcr. Of
Richland; (who the orator Of the day
said was the peer Of any man;) Com

Col. Dunnovant did not continue with
tho regiment long after its organiza-
ton. Having been promoted, he left
it before 1t was ordered to Virginia.
Col. Dixon Barnes, Of Lancaster, then
succeeded to the colonelcy. 1t was he

the words of Capt. Kinsler in his ora
tion to-day, "No trucr or bravcr heart

After Barnes fell, Col. Cad Jones, of
York, succeeded to the command. lie
in consequence ofill health, was soon
forced TO resign. Then John L. Mil
Ter, Of York, succeeded to the COM

ing an intrepid, but wos SOON killed in
desperate battle. Then Col. E. Il.
Bookter succeeded to the command,
and it is said he fully sustained the
gallant conduct Of his predecessors.
And he, too, fell in the tlickcst of the
fight, and in the expiring agonies Of
death the last words that were heard
to fall from his lips werc, "Fo,10u,W,

Good Eatin' in Virginia.

A gentleman travelling in Virginia last
summer had occasion to take stage ride
in order to visit the Natural Bridge. Rid
ing on the seat with the diver, he fell into
conversation with him, and found that he
was an old hunter who was a veteran in
killing dear, bear and smaller game. Pass
ing stream, the traveller inquired if it con-
tanned fish.
Lots on EN- was the reply. What
kind?"
s'Mostly trout" said the driver. ''Al
these mountain streams are full of trout"
"They must be fine eating, was the next
remark. Zine eatin'!' exclaimed the driv-
er. "You just go up to the mountain and
ketch half dozen trout about twelve inches
long, clean 'em without washing 'em rub in
some salt, roll 'em in injun meal, and bake
in the ashes-good eatin'! why, stranger,
by heavens, they beat ham!"
