APromotion Declined.

Among the promotions last evening at the election of officers of the Second company, Governors Foot Guard, was that of Private David S. Thomas to be corporal. Captain Thomas declined, and after thanking Major Brown for his friendly offer said: T do not forget, Major Brown, that you served me faith fully in my company during the war, and it seems to be my duty now to try and serve faithfully as a private in your command. It is not only an honor, but it is a great honor to be a member of the Second company, Gov ernor's Foot Guard, in any capacity, a company which you have been so instru- mental in bringing up to its present high standard I think that I can truly say that I take quite as much pride in being private in this command as ever felt as a commissioned officer in our grand old regiment in the Army of the Potomac, and if can do so without giving offense or violating any military law, will respectfully decline your kind offer, and asked to be allowed to remain Tn the ranks with the rest of the boys. :" Captain Thomas was roundly applauded at the close of his remarks.
