The Political Meetings. —Should the weath
er prove favorable, tbo Union Mats Meeting to be
held in this place to-day will most! likely be one of
' the largest meeting ever held in this county. From
information received from the different districts,
the turnout promises to be very large, and the ri
valry for the flag, to be presented to the district
presenting the largest number in procession in-pro
ponion to the number of voters, will be spirited.
The ground selected for the meetings is the lot of
the Altoona Gas and Water Co., at the head of
Julia stree:
The Democratic meeting, on Monday evening
next will lie a grand affair also, should the weath
er be favorable. Great preparations are making
and it will be a grand effort to rival the Saturday
evening meeting. Our people herefof both par
ties, know how logetupcrediiablejdemonslralions,
an d’a good nalured spirit of rivalry is commend
able, adding to the attractions and credit of both.
The speakers announced for the Democratic meet
ing are lions. 3eorge Northrop, Wm, H. Witte,
Robt. Lambert*, C. L. Polling, R. L. Johnaton,
Win. A. Wallace, Phil. S. Noon and others.
Our town has always ocen noted for the qniet
and order observed on all occasions of large de
monstrations of any kind, and we hope that at the
meetings of to-day and Monday our reputation may
be preserved. In several other places there have
been di-turbances at political g itbeiings, resulting,
in some instances, in murder, and always to the
disgrace of the town and participants. We hope
we may not have ro chronicle a single infraction of
the law at the meetings -referred to. None but
rowdies will attempt a disturbance at either, and
no sensible persan should pay attention to them.
A Fashionable Faklob.— How many people
do we call on from year to year, and know no more
of theirJeclings, habits, tastes, family ideas and
ways, thkn if they lived in Kamschatka ? And
why ? Because the room which they call a front
parlor is made expressly so you shall not know.
Thev sit in u back room—work, talk, read, per
haps. 'After a servant has let you id and opened
a crack in the gutters, and while you sit -waiting
for'thcm to change their dress and come in, you
speculate as to w hat they may be doing. From a
distant region the laugh of a child, the song of a
canary bird, and then a door clasps hastily to. Do
they love plants? Do they write letters, sew, em
broider. crochet? Do they ever romp and frolic ?
What books do they read?. Do they sketch of
paint? Of .all these possibilities, a mute and muf
fled room says nothing.
A sola, six chair*, two ottomans, fresh from the
upholster’s. a Brussels carpet, a centre table, with
four gilt books ot beauty on it. a manic! clock from
Paris, two brome vases —all these tell you only in
frigid tones. “ This is the best room,” —only that
and nothing more; and soon she trips in in her
clothes, and apologizes for keeping you waiting,
asks vou how your mother is, and you remark that
it is a pleasant day, and thus the acquaintance
progresses from year to year. One hour in the lit
tle back room where the plants and Canary birds,
and children are, might have made you fast friends
for life: but as it is, you care no more for them
than for the gill clock on the mantel.
On. Excitement. —The oil region excitement
bids fair to rival that of the California and Pike’s
Peak gold regions. Stocks fluctuate considerably,
nevertheless there are many fortunes being made
on short notice. The number of, oil companies
now organizing will run up the capital invested in
the greasy fluid to somewhere in the neighborhood
of §50,000,000. One company in New York
starts with a capital of $5,000,000, par valne.—
While many are destined to realize handsomely, a
large number will get their lingers burned. Great
care should be exercised in selecting stock. As
an evidence of the yield of one well lately struck,
on Oil Creek, we copy the following from the
Pittsburgh Commercial of yesterday (Friday)
morning:—
A dbpaich was received in the city yesterday
announcing that on Tuesd ty morning a flowing
oil well of the capacity of fifteen hundred barrels
per day was struck on the Egbert Farm, situated
about eight miles up Oil Creek. This well is the
property of the Maple Shade Comiwny. whose
sti ck is princi|>ally held in - the East. The dis
patch containing this ue < s states that tile informa
tion concerning the strike was furnished by eye
witnesses, who have no interest in the qpll. We
heard yesterday of large oil strikes in the West
Virginia oil region, but could learn no particulars.
Compliment to the Altoona Brass Band.—
The Huntingdon Globe , of last week, in noticing
the attendance upon political meetings and the
music at each, says: “ The Altoona Brass Band
was at Warriorsraark, and the Boalsburg Brass
Band was at Moorsville. Both 'excellent hands,
bat the Altoona ‘a little more so.’”
(J* Jas. 11. Dysart & Co., have purchased the
coal mine of Messrs. Cooper. Blackburn & Porter,
at Lilly’s Station. They intend to keep a full
supply mined at all limes,- and be ready to fill
orders for large or small quantities, on short
notice.
Lanterns, Badges. —At Will Patton’s may be
fonml a full supply of lanterns for political pro
cessions. Also, appropriate badges for the differ

McCamant was admitted to practice law in the
several Courts of this county. Tlte Standard says
he passed a creditable examination.
The following is old but good : A “ side judge"
In one of the country courts, in speaking of the
important and honorable office he had held for
several years, said the presiding judge never con
sulted with him only on one question, and that
avas after li-:-. ning to three or four windy pleas of
■an hour’s length each he turned to me and whis-
Jiered, “ Isn't this bench made of hard wood ?” I
told him « i thought it was.”
Letter, from “ Dixie”
Gain* Fkrbe, V aeon’s Gap Station, )
Nashville & North-Western R. R.,
Oct. 29, 1864. j
Dear Tribune ; “JJixie” having a few leisure
moments, thought he would devote a short time to
scribbling. 'As you no doubt observe from the
heading of this epistle, I have changed my ‘‘bead
quarters,” or rather, to use a “war” phrase, I have
changed my front. T am now located, for the
Am e being, vyith one of your worthy townsman,
he having tender his immediate control, or super
vision, at this point,isomc sixty of Bchj. Butler's
contraband property cutting wood for the "U. S.
M. Railroads, as also two other camps on another '
line of road, viz ; Camps Franklin and Brentwood.
This ramp is named in honor of your worthy j
townsman, who established the location and put
the necessary machinery in motion to cut and de
liver fifteen hundred cords of wood per month.—
The camp is located about pine miles from the city
of the N, & N. R. E. along the bank
of a sparkling mountain brook, just in the edge of
the native : forest. -My Sanctum Sanctorum is
built from the natural growth of the forest, and
covered with material taken from the giant oak of
an hnndred years, or more, without the aid of that 1
.article of modern improvement, a saw mill. My
Sanctum is JO by 12, and chinked and daubed in
the true pioneer style a! architecture, and “ niver
a window,”;except a lonely pane of 8 by K> glass,
set belween the logs just above the rude table upon
which “ Dixie " is now scribbling.
- This, truly, is a romantic spot. Here the grey
knd black squirrel leap from limb to limb in their
native security, and tlie robin and the thrush sing
their notes ifitbe early morn, not harmed by savage
,wild, nor hunted by the less expert sportsman of
the present -day. But every thing here seems just
as God created them, fearing not their enemy—
man. Were some of your northern sportsmen
here (and up embargo, upon hunting) they might
easily glut their desire for killing that which to
them seem such sport. The forest is dense here,
lining the road upon each giiie for twenty
miles or upwards. The beach and white wood
(known here wood) predominate, with a
slight intermixture of the various species of oaks,
some cedar, chestnut, poplar, walnut, ash and
hickory, allgood wood; for the use of citizens and
ihe locomotives. The location of the camp at this
point will bp from bight to ten month.ut least, as
Uncle Samuel requires the cutting of at least thirty
thousand cords wood, so you may judge of the
operation of your late townsman at this point.—
‘ This road (N. & X.) lias been all completed by the
U. S. Government since the opening of the Re
bellion, except some twelve miles, from Nashville
out. The road is a .good one for this country,
nearly alt stone ballast and heavy T rail. It
strikes the- Tennessee nvev at a point called
JohnstonviHc, in honorof our next Vice President.
The town now resembles what Altoona once did—
a town compicnced in a frog pond and a forest.
(Dear Tribune, understand me, no imputation
upon your heat city now.) JohnstonviHc can be
reached, at'all stages of water, by steam boats,
which is not the case with Nashville, as some ten
miles below, that city' lire what are called “ Mussel
Shoals,” and at a low stage of water no Scat can
reach the city, consequently you see the import
ance of the N. & N. R. R. to Uncle Samuel/to
supply this- vast and stupendous Army of the
Mississippi. i x
There are. some five .warehouses, eight hundred
feel long, at Johnstonville, to contain "or receive
the Government freight from the boats until it
can be shipped aboard of the cars The place
numbers some three to four thousand inhabitants,
including the Garrison. It is altogether a mili
tary town now, but will at dll times be a point of
some importance. .The road, along its entire
length, is heavily guarded, to resist any attack
that may be made by guerrillas. They have
attacked th*e road several times in the last three
months, bu| to no effect. The guerrillas are fast
playing out here, as well as the McClellan men.
The weather here is lovely. It reminds me of
the early September weather in the North, The
foliage is scarcely yet changed. Fanners are yet
cutting second crop grass for hay., Such your
readers may not believe, but it is nevertheless a
fact. most now close as it is time'for “ Mule ”
and “ Hard Tack.’’- : From yours, as ever.

Harper’s’Fekbt, Oct. 31st, 1864.
j Messrs. Editors t —One word in behalf of the
I 12th Penn’a Cavalry. Having heard that it is
reported at; home iliat our regiment has been dis
mounted for cowardice, I beg leave, through the
columns of your paper, to inform .our friends at
home thatrit is a base falsehood, and the author
neither a soldier, the- soldiers friend nor a gentle
man. On. the contrary, the regiment has never
been disnjrentcd, but we have received horse*
from other, regiments, that were dismounted for
cowardice,; to remount our men who were dis
mounted in action.
If you wish anything in reference to the actions
of the regiment, I would respectfully refer you to
Gen. Dcffoeyea; or acting Brig. Grn., Tibbctt,
under whose command'the regiment has been
during the summer campaign. It is not roy place
to speak of the doings of the regiment, but I will
venture to mention a couple of charges in which a
portion of pur men took part. In one case, when
the rebels were retreating from Gettysburg, Pa.,
a detachment of the 12th Penn'a and Ist New
York cavalry, numbering IGO men, boldly attacked
the enemy! capturing three cannon and three hun
dred and fifty loaded wagons, and over seven hun
dred prisoners. They' secured their prize while
the bewildered rebels were' making arrangements
to repel. w|iat they suppose! to be the attack of a
whole cavalry corps. In arfother instance, Capt.
McDonald, of Co, M., with a detachment of fffty
meh, charged the rebel infantry in the streets of
Fredeiick iCity, was repulsed at first, but rallied
his men and charged again, leading the charge in
person, ranting the rebels, and killing, wounding
many of there: The captain fell seve
rely wounded, three balls having passed through bis
body, and his horse was pierced with seven ballets.
These are sketches of our campaign. After deeds
I of valor like these who dare brand us ns cowards.
