the minds of the people for the past, six weeks,
there is an occasional lull, or oasis, caused by

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. FeTtisgek, of No. I''Literary Emporiura
beg? leave to announce to tbe citizens of Altoo
na and vicinity, that ho has now, and will con
stantly keep, a full supply of all the School-
Books used in this and adjoining districts, tthich
■will be sold at from ten to twenty-five per cent,
less than they can be bought anywhere else in
the county.. Everything used in the Schools—
such os Slates, Pencils, Pens, Inks, Copy-Books,

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

Wajne, Lieut. SohllUngcr, C. M. Fenton, and

fared by the Federal troops, has turned out to
be a canard. The inventor of such an atrocious
fabrication, at an exciting time like this, should,
os soon os discovered, be dealt with according
to justice. However we may have been hoaxed
this time, we assure all that they will never be

As Address.— At the earnest request of
many of the citizens of Altoona, a Public Ad

on Friday evening, May 31st, commencing at
8 o'clock, by James E. Giffin, A. M formerly of
the “ Chestey Valley Type.” All are invited.

Letter from Maryland.
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.
