THK BANQUET OK TUB 50TH.—'The survi vors of the 50th Reg Prnn'a. Vet. Vol., who held their fourth annual re-union here yester day, concluded their very interesting session with a banquet at the Ward House last even ing. About fifty comrades and a few "home guards" sat down to the elegant collation at 9 o'clock. After the tempting bill of f ire had been disposed of, Col. OVKRTO.N , retiring President of the Association, aked the Secre tary to read letters from Comrades who were unable to he present, ('apt.

This was followed bv some interesting and amusing ex tracts from the dinrv of drummer SHAKER, giving the author's tirst ezperieuce in the ar mv. Col. TELFORD, in response to a call from the President, made a very neat little speech, in which he referred with pardonable pride to the proud record of the 50th made in six states and on thirty-two battle fields. It was ne'ver driven in disorder hefors the enemy.— lie hoped the re-unions would he kept up and that in the world to come everv member might be permitted an eternal re-union where there are no wars. Col OVKRTON feelingly referred to two brothers who were conspicuous members of the regiment and called upon one of them. Comrade KFNDAIX, whom he had not met until this occasion since he was taken pri.s onei, nearly twenty years ago. for remarks. The Comrade responded in a very entertain ing little speech, in which he recalled many in cidents of army life facetiously referring to his capture by the rebels, with over a hundred other members of the regiment and incarcer ation in rebel prisons. Having been brave soldiers, he earnestly counseled his fellow comrades so to live that after the battles of this life they may enjoy that peace which re maineth for all the soldiers of the Cross. A song being called for. Comrade G HOUGH FARRAR graphically recalled the circumstan ces under which he first heard that pathetic and beautiful ballad, "Just before the battle Mother " The whole company,with subdued' voices, joined in singing it.

Revs. SAYIIK, ARMSTRONG and FURNCII. were severally listened to with great interest* Col. OVKKTON was loudly called for but ex cused himself ou account of the lateness of tlie hour. As a Hitting finale to the most interesting and enjoyable affair, all joined in reverently singing the National hymn, " America," and at 12 o'clock Chaplain H. ARMSTRONG pro nounced the benediction, when the President declared the exercises of the rc-uuion closed.
