In the nidst of the most,dreary deserts there ate oasis on which the weary traveller may find fresh water to slake his thirst, and cool shades in which to lie down and rest his weary limbs; so. too, in tho midst of the excitement whichjlias agitated the minds of the people for the past, six weeks, there is an occasional lull, or oasis, caused by meeting in social capacities, in which wo for a while forget the perils of tho Lour. One of these oasis, in the excitement of the times, we have bad in this place, the character of which is explained by the following cobbesposdknck; Uos. L, W. Uall, ' . , . , ■ .

Kiadlv and Trult Yours, V 3l r Lons .W. HALL. To Mc«?rs. Shoemaker, PiTC.ur.NS, IjOwtufe and others. The capper was served up at the Logau House, , on Thursday evening last, nPhalf-past 0 o'clock. ) About fifty persons were present and partook of [ a repast which, for richness and variety, .would j have done honor to the “Continental” or “St. \ Charles.” It was a grand supper, embracing ! fiih, flesh and. fowl, vegetables in season and out > of Bcaeon, substantial and luxuries, with a wind ; up of desserts “too numerous to mention.” We are pleased to note that there was no wine or . other spirituous liquors at the banquetj hut the ■ absence of these did not in the least detract from the “feast of reason and the flow of soul.” The repast elicited the universal praise of the guests, and fully- sustained the high reputation of the proprietors of the Logan House as,cater ers for theemost cultivated tastes. A vote of thanks unanimously tendered them. The supper over, Gen. Potts arose and stated the object of the meeting and supper, and' ten dered to Mr. Hall the compliments of those pres ent, assuring him of their high regnrd fordiim | as a fellow citizen, and their approbation of his i course as a public officer, and more particularly as the representative of this Senatorial District. At the conclusion of Gea.i P.’s remarks, Mr, Hall arose and responded in on address occupy- ! ing some ten or fifteen minutes. He thanked | those present, in very courteous terms, for the i evidence they had, thus given him of their ap-| proval of his public acts as their representative I in State Sepnte, arid also of their kind feelings \ toward him. He referred to the fact of his hav- | ing settled in Altoona .a briefless barrister, some ! six years since, with but little expectation that | he would now occupy the position of Spcakcrof j the Senate of the great and noble State of Pena.- : sylvaoia—also to the fact that this district and ; county had been honored by having two of her j representatives, in succession, elected to the posi- I ties of Speaker of the Senate—referring to Hon. John Cresswell, of Hollidnysburg, who was elected in 185 S, and himself. Ho then referred to the difficulties Of the nation and expressed hia sentiments thereupon in a manner which met with universal approval arid- shewed that he was'the right man in the right place in this cricis. He was frequently cheered during the delivery of his remarks, which were well re ceived by all present. Calls were then made foi’spcechcs from others who were present, hut all delined, except Dr. Gcinmill. • He put in a plea for the profession he represented, to the effect that they, as a general thing, were not speakers, and generally conveyed information more readily by an ominous shake of the head ‘ an( l a wise look, than they did by ninoh .talking. He then adverted to the difficulties of the Na tion, by whiph party lines had been obliterated, ; and. alluded in a patriotic manner to the Union and the Stars'and Stripes. He was frequently cheered. > On leaving the tabic, the party retired to the spacious parlors in the cast wing of the hotel, where they indulged in singing the Star Span gled Banner” find other national aiTs,‘and en gaged in social conversation until the clock struck twelve, when the party began to dimin ish-all leaving well pleased with their enter tainment. Mr. Hall may well feel proud of the respect entertained for him by his fellow citizens, with out distinction of party, because in this instance party was not thought of. ■ Party feeling, so far as we can judge, is “among the things that *ere” m Altoona. And the people of Altoona s ould and do feel proud of tber representative by his actions has won for himself a name \ roo^°U * 10 State, a °d so high a place in s opinion of bis colleagues and the affairs of t&te. Still higher honors we feel confident await him. Tremendous high wind prevailed at this p ace on Monday last, demolishing awnings, s'gn-boards, Sc. '■ would willingly publish an article signed “Observer,” in defence of the conduct of the Altoona Brass Band towards tho Cornet Band, of Hollidayshurg, on the evening that Cpl. Anderson passed through this place, and in-reply to a very contemptible article in last wtek’s issue of the Blair County Whig, but the writer did not give us faijs real. name, and in a case of this kind it is indispensably necessary that we should have it. :We are not acquainted with the circumstances, and consequently Could not vouch for the truth of “Observer’s” nsser ; tions, which we would have to do if we pub | lisfaed the article without knowing his name.— l From all that we can learn about the affair, the Altoona Band did nothing more than return the compliment it first received from the Comet Band; and although it would have been more ebristianiike to have' returned good for evil, it is not customary to dp so, and the Altoona Band is not an exception to .the general rule. We hope this difference vihich appears to exist ..between these Bands, whether real or imaginary, may bo speedily 1 ' settled. We see no reason why they should harbor , ill feeling when it is j much more pleasant to be on friendly terms. ! Wo think it might all be made right if either | party were disposed to let wise counsel prevail, j There should be rivalry in endeavoring to excel ; in .'musical perfection, but this should not make them bivd friends. Foijrth or Jolt. —lt appears to us that it would bo right to pay more respect to the re turn of our natal day this year, than wo have for several years post In fact, many persons appeared to have almost forgotten that there was such a day‘as the Fourth of July; or, at least, that there was anything connected with it worthy of remembrance. Now that rebel hands are tiying to overthrow that superstructure of liberty which our forefathers erected on the 4th of July, 1776, we think we should show them, and all the world, that we still remember the day and the men who pledged their “lives, their fortunes and their sacred honors” to main toin and hand down to us that deed of liberty and independence wlijoh they drew op and pro nounced valid on that day. Our friends are now on the way to the battle-field to wipe out the insult which traitorous sons of nobio sires have given to our flag, and we who remain at home should not show ourselves lacking in pa triotism, by permitting the day that mad* us a nation and a free people, to pass unobserved. Wbat say our citizens to Laving a celebration in Altoona? We hopeAhcy will talk the matter over, immediately, and that by next week wc may be,able to report a programme. Q' ' Alioosa, May 21, 4561 Home Guards.— Little importance as some of our citizens seem to attach to the formation of these bodies of Landwehr, there is a significance which attaches to them that raises them high above the charge of being organized merely for amusement, or as vents for the ascape of super abundant patriotism.- The Home Guards may, in time, become to the United States what the National Guards was formerly to France—the defenders of freedom. That such a band of men will do much good no one will dispute, and we therefore are in flavor of arming them efficiently in as short a time as is conveniently possible. For, in the event of troops being wanted in a hurry, the nescessary reinforce ments will be ready at hand, drilled, and to some degree, used to the hardships of a cam paign. We express ourselves in this manner with the full knowledge of what is before us, of the long and severe onflidt we are perhaps called upon to go through ; and would suggest thafl'whilc these bodies of men are drilling and learning to shoot, some means should be used for their proper organization and arming. We have now forir Sof these companies in this place, composed of good and true men, who, if property encouraged, will never call for any aid, in money, from the Government to enable them to defend their homes and firesides. Some of our companies .are uniforming at their own expensd, and all they ask is to be furnished with arms. We believe- this will be done. Giving them Fits. —Our boys nt York arc j anxious to give the secessionists Sts, and we j expect they will get a obance. Tbe “seccshcs” are also said to be anxious to give the “rag tag and bob-tails” fits, but they do not seem to be in as much hurry about it as they mere some time since. We hdieve our follows wilbgive them fits, if they get a chance, but we know that our friend, D. W. A. Bc’.ford, the model tailor up street, always gives fits to all his customers.— By the way, we would remark that he has just returned from the c.ty with a lot of oloths, cas simeres, nestings, and gents’ furnishing goods, which are very nice and suited to the season.— Give him \a call, gents, and he will accommo date you. ■ H.

Everything used in the Schools— such os Slates, Pencils, Pens, Inks, Copy-Books, Charts, Cards, P,ewards of Merit, &c , &c., can always be bad at his place of business. “A word to the wise is sufficient.” .Mat Paett —The scholars and teachers con nected with the Catholic Sunday School in this place, had a “ May Party” on- Thursday last, at which there was a very largo turn-out. The day was beautiful, and wo doubt not they en joyed themselves amazingly. The “Queen of the May” looked bright, and no doubt felt more happy while thus temporarily enthroned amid her plassmntcs and the spring flowers, than ever did the Queen of England, surrounded by her ministers and all the pomp of royalty. Within the past week a .numbor of our enlisted citizens have been paying flying visits tjn .jtheir friends;' Among them we met Capt._ Wajne, Lieut. SohllUngcr, C. M. Fenton, and others.

Editorial Correspondence of the Tribune. Middlebubg, Carroll Co., Md., \ May 24, 1801. / Kind Patrons: — l left the “Mountain City" of Altoona, at 1.25 do the morning of the 21st and arrived at Harrisburg at GA. M. After looking around for a short time I strolled out to Camp Curtin, and was admitted by one of the guards with whom I happened to be acquainted. After showing me the “sights” about the camp, he invited me to take breakfast with him, bnt as the repast did not look very inviting I de clined. The camp-ground was very muddy—in some places ancle deep. I soon came to the canclusion that a soldier’s lifo is a hard one in every respect. The most cGmical and ferocious looking fellows in the camp were a company of raftsmen who master under the name of “The Buck Tails”—each man having the tail of a buck fastened to histcap. T left Harrisburg at 1.15 P. M., on the North ern Central Railroad, destined -for Baltimore. Observe! nothing of importance until I reached York, where I met a number of boys who were waiting at the depot, as nearly every train brings some of their friends to pay them a flying visit. They all look hearty, and seem to enjoy the hardships of camp life re markably well. The train made but a short halt at this station. I bad not proceeded far beyond York ere I could see the effects of the Baltimore mob, on the bridges along the route. Some of the bridges, which were built of iron, and could not be destroyed any other way, were pitched wholesale into the river below Now, however, they are all replaced and the trains move alorfg ns if there had never been any obstruction. 'Nearly every bridge along the road is guarded by soldiers, who have log cabins built for their accommodation. As the train passed along, the passengers cheered the troops and threw out daily-papers to them, over which there would be quitca scramble. While passing one point I saw a number of soldiers coming in from a farm-house, each one having a loaf, of bread which he was swinging over his head. I reached Baltimore at 6 o’clock, P. >1 , and found it to be as quiet as Altoona,,andyscc.cs sionists almost as hard to find as there. Every body seems to regret the unfortunate affair which occurred here on the 19th’hit., but at the same time they appear to bo thankful that ; their beautiful city was not laid in ashes. | I remained in .Baltimore over night, and on | Wednesday morning took the cars on the Wcst j ern Maryland Railroad, for Westminster.' The ■ distance is 34 miles, and we were between three j and four hours travelling it! All along tho 1 route I saw poles with the'Stars and Stripes - floating therefrom, but not a Secession flag | could I see. There are a number of persons j here who preach op the, accession doctrine, but j they dare not show their colors. I have not seen an ont-and-out live secessionist yet. To morrow there is to be a beautiful polo raised a short distance from here, at n place called Key’s School-House, on the farm formerly occupied by Francis S. Key', author of that beautiful na tional air. “Tho Star Spangled Banner.” Tho people of this part of old Maryland are sound ' on the Union question, and go in for the Union and the Constitution unimpaired, and the en forcement of the laws at all hazards: Destructive ness or the Minnie Gun.—A visit to the scene of the Saturday's Collision between the United States troops nnd the citi *cns'on Walnut street in St. Louis, ahd an exa mination of the marks of the conflict will reveal the fact■ that Minnie balls possess all the de structive properties attributed to them. The troops were armed with Minnie rifles loaded with the conical Ipall or slug, which gives that arm its peculiar character. The crowd were gathered chiefly on the north aide of Walnut Street and the houses on this side, from Fifth to Seventh, bear the marks of the terrible shots from the riflemen. The slugs,.in striking Ike walls, tore bricks for a space of three or four inches in diameter, and Whpn thfey struck perpendicularly, pene trated to the depth of six inches into the solid wall. One shot, fired at an angle to the wall, tore away the corner of a brick next the door frame, struck the jdge of the frame, penetra ting through it at least six inches, and went through the door into tho building, lodging in the opposite walls. Many of tho balls struck tho walls as high-Vis the second story—caused, no doubt, by the loose firing of tho disordered troops It is said seventeen rifles wore pick ed up front the scene of action.
