PnaADKi.i niA, Oct. 17e1805V Yesterday was a great day in I'liiladol- phia, Iho grand "Fireman's rarade" of 1803, will be recorded la the nit mils of the city, a an event of ninro thnn ordinary im portance. It wo certainly the greatest civic procession ever held in this country, and most probably has never beer, equalled in any other. The Firemen of Philadelphia Datt, lor months past, been making great preparations lor this grand displuy. Amcntr the numerous companies there was great rivalry to outsuiue ?acli ether in the splcn rtorot liieir equipments. The steam and : i unuu viijjinvs, liunej carringes, oio., were glittering with buaihthed lirass, silver plate ana finding. Hid procession was formed cu Broad street, ai i ss'clock, and was said to be over seven tnitea kuig. I looked on several nours, and tins td was uot yet. It was nearly 7 at night before the head of the column reached its destination at the corner of Third and Chesnurt syrette. The object of this grand expensive, and I think useless display, I have not lieard. The expenses incurred were enormous, and hare been estimated, by gome, st a million of dollars, SDd many, it is said, have raised money by mortgaging their property. TLis estinmte I presume, includes clothing and equipments or men as well as engines, dc. For the first balf hour tie tfrVct is pleasing and interest ing, but tlx; eye and ear both weary, with a long continued display, especially when there is so much sameness. The high prices of almost every thing be gins to be felt more sensibly than people im agine. No one purchases more than is abso lutely necessary. Cotton g6ods have reached a figure entirely unexpected, for which there is no justification. The opening markets of the South, it is true, necessarily requires many goods, but they hnvc not the means to pay for perhaps the half that will bo shipped by opcculutors, and the same scenes will be enact ed that took place on the opening of trade in Ctmfcrma ,when San Francisco was so flood ded with merchandise that much of it was sold for less than it cost in New York. But in the meantime, the manufacturers are reaping a rich harm. A cotton mill is now a for tune in itself. Senator Spraguc, of Rhode Island, who is the largest manufacturer of prints and sheetings in the United States, is adding, it is said, to his already great wealth, at the rate of $300,000 per month, or about six millions per annum. These B"ods are selling at nearly double their vaiue, according to the present rates of cot- ton. ine cheapest goods now are those imported, notwithstanding the high duties which are paid in gold. But this cannot last long. The spirit of speculation now so prcvaleut, must subside, and people be con tent to grow rich on moderate profits, as of old, instead of the extravagant advances now frequently exacted by dealers and manufacturers. LWThk State Election. The election in this State, ou the 10th inst., has resulted in the general success'of the Union party. Tho majority for Gen. Ilartranft over Col. Davis, for Auditor-General, and of Camp bell, over Linton for Surveyor General, will not be less than 21.000, judging from the official and unofficial returns which have been received. The Union gains in tie dif ferent counties have been marked, and in some instances have surprised .the oldest politicians. The endorsement of the recon struction policy of President Johnson, by the Democratic party, did not seem to help it any. When the official returns are com plete, they will be printed in tabular form. Though of the retiring State Senators even were Union and four Opposition, an equal number has been returned in the seven districts of the'same .party views, with an other gained in the Luzerne district, and a chance for one in Frauklin and Adams so tiiat tbe next Seuate will stand at least 20 Uuion to 13 Opposition, and may be 21 to S3. In the House of the Union party has lost cne of the sixty-three Union members of 1801, and have gained one in the Adams, one in Armstrong and one in Franklin and Perry. Three members in Luzerne are bea ten less than twenty on the home vote, and it is probab'o that this majority will be overcome by the army vote. Dr. Early, in dependent Democrat, defeats the notorious Boytr in Clearfield and Elk. The House will, therefore, stand about 30 or 81 to 70 or CO. In the city of Philadelphia, 3Ir. MeMi chael lias been chosen Mayor by a largo nia ority. In both branches of Councils tho Unionists havo a considerable prepoderance In the Select branch parties will stand 18 to 8, and iu the Cuinuioa branch the relative majority will bo about tho same. I . 137" Morton M'Miehael was elected May or, of Philadelphia, on Tuesday last, by nearly 6,000 majority. Some of our candi dates received over 8,000 majority in that city. A bright little girl named Sarah Ann Young, aged four years, recently died, in London, from the fright of seeing an Epis copal clergyman suddenly emerge from tho vestry into the church, robed in his white urpliceo. The child screamed, and was carried from the church in convulsions, and died tho next day. The Providence Journal believe that there is beneath tbe soil of Rhode Island valuable- mineral wealth. It does not sup pose that the coal of this region is compar able to the antbaracite of Pennsylvauia, but is confident that, wun the present cost of - tee latter, it can be mined and burned piofl t b!y.

"137Th Democratic Defeat. Tho re- suit of the State election on the 10th ha so astonished and terrified the Opposition that even their most bitter aud unscrupulous or gans fail to offer excuse (or their defeat, tbey acknowledged that they were beaten In the State by a tmall majority, but fail to give a single valid reason for their lack of success, save that their party was not suffi ciently well organized, and that too much apathy existed among the rank and file. To one who has studied the history of the Democratic party the causes of their defeat are plain and indisputable, and endeavor as they may to whitewash the matter for outside world, to tho leaders of the party the blow struck on Tuesday oHast week by the voters of Pennsylvania was most appaling. It was bad enough for the large cities, where they expected to poll a heavy vote, to de ceive them, but the shock was took great to be easily borne when they heard that Luzerne, where they expected to have thirty-five hundred majority, Blair, Schuylkill, Lehigli, and even benighted Berks, which rarely casts a vote for any man not running on the Democratic party having lost it prestige, lias also lost its influence; and, as it now stands, can never expect to regain an honorable position in this country. No political, organization which opposed the war and sympathized with the enemies of the country when the aid and influenco of every man in the North was ueeded, can expect to have the support of the enlight ened voters of the loyal States. The mis deeds of the democratic party have not been forgotten; nor will they be, until the recol lections of the gallant dead who fell victims to Southern treason and Northern sympathy with treason have been obliterated from the memory of generations yet unborn. TF.KK1BLK IMII.KOU ii:.vr. ACt:i- NINE PERSONS INSTANTLY KILLED. Thirty Men, Women and Children Heported Wounded! One of the most terrible railroad accidents that has occurred during the present year, hap pened on Saturday afternoon, on the Penn sylvania railroad, three miles this side of Lancaster, as the Day Express train reached that point, en route for Philadelphia. The train consisted of seven cars. Tho front axle of the third car breaking, that end of the car at once fell to the track, and as the train' was under full headway, the rear cars ran into the one to which the accident occurred, crushing to death nine persons and maim ing a large number of others rumor says thirty or more. The scene is said to have been heartrending aud sickening in the ex treme. The shrieks and groans of the wounded nnd dying were such as to unman the stoutest heart, and to cause many pntv sengers to leave the vicinity of the accident to obtain relief from the sad spectacle pre sented. The following is a list of the per sons who were instantly killed, or died ft few moments after the accident occurred : Mrs. James P. Barr, wife of the Surveyor General of Pennsylvania. Mrs. Sarah Willet, of New Cumlcrlaud, Cumberland county, Pa. Mrs. Magdaleua Zuttc, of Milwaukic, Wis consin. Colonel Butler, of Lcwistown, Pa. Mrs. Butler, (wife of tho above,) Lewis town, Pa. Wm. H. Butler, (known as "Barney" But ler,) Clerk in the Surveyor General's office, II arris burg. Mrs. riiillips, of Ohio. A daughter, of lira. Phillips, aged about 15 years. Another daughter of Mrs. Phillips, ncd 10 years. It is said that from thirty to forty persons were wounded and there is no cause to doubt tho truth of the report, as it seems incredible tlmt a smallei number would be injured, when the list of killed is so exten sive as above. Amoug those reported wounded are James P. Barr, Surveyor General, and Mrs. Wolf inger. of Ilarrisburg. Capt. Isaac Motlatt, of Philadelphia, is supposed to be injured internally. The bodies of the persons killed were forwarded to the West on the express train of Sunday morning. That of Mrs. Willet was brought to this city, and after U-ing placed in a neat coffin, was sent to New Cumberland. We arc informed that the railroad track was torn up a distance of a hundred yards or metre, and that three or four cars were shattered to pieces. A bar of railroad iron penetrated entirely through the body of ono ot tho men killed. Some of the bodies are said to be horrible mutilated. Among tho parties wounded some are reported as hiving arms ami legs broken, and others sustained injuries of every con ceivable form. The accident is attributed to defective iron in the axle that broke, the car to which it was attached having been iu good condi tion. A Lancaster dispatch to the Associated Press states tlmt but two persons were seri ously wounded, but passengers deny tho truth of it, and place the number at about the figure named in the beginning of our article. The dispatch alluded to also says that tho entire medical force of Lancaster was assembled at the depot to minister to the wants of the wounded. This would be unnecessary it but two persons wero injured. We must, however, wait for facts as they are developed hereafter, it being impossible to obtain any perfectly reliable statements. Passengers become exeited and frequently magnify facts, while on the' other hand railroaders' lips aro scaled. Auy further particulars we may receive in regard to this unfortunate occurrence will be duly announ ced. Tho accident cannot be attributed to care lessness on the part of the persons in charge of the train, and the defect in the broken axle was such as could not be detected, by any inspector. JJiirrinburg Telegraph. Fueb Masonry. Tho grand officers of the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Ma sons in Peunsylvnuiu have issued an appeal to tho brotherhood of tho United States to renew the bonds of union. They say: "We owe our country aud the world the duty of Lour example. Let us make it manifest. Lome among us; we will go among you. Your templu is our temple; your masonry is our masonry; whither masonic teaching bids us go, let us go together. Brethren, we in vite you, by the great glory of our in destructible Order, by the undying light which illumine our pathway to and from the communion of the croft, by your precept and example, and effort among our fellow countrymen, to begin the great work of re conciliation." A year ago a military commission tried and convicted, at Fort Snelling, two Sioux chiefs, named Little Six and Medicine Bot tle. Their sentence wa not made public till the 25th instant, when an order to hang them was received. A Cincinnati young lady who enthusiasti cally admired General Grant, stole bis tcgar from under hi nose at a reception at the Burnett House one day last week. The bero was too much astounded at tbe audaci ty to prereot or jnnisb the thrfX ITIIE FinKNATN parade. - i A Mngnlflornt (Spectacle From tht Philadelphia Inqolror. It would' be almost inuerlUious in this connection to Indulge in any extensive panegyric or eulogy on the unapproachable magnificence of the grand fireman's pageant yesterday. To say that thi country never witnessed such a scene, or anything like It in point of spendor and completion of detail, would not be departing from the strict line of truth. During Saturday and Sunday the streets of the city wero alive with visiting companies arriving from all points, hand shaking, congratulations nnd Visiting differ ent fire companies' houses by the strangers m thocity; wa without parallel. The weather yesterday could not have ix-en more propit ious for the grand Cnrnival. The rain of Saturday occasioned some anxious forebodings, and many prophesied tlmt the State House Bell would, on Mon day mnrnimr. announce w ith it iron tongue. a postponement of the parade on account of the wcatlicr. Hie day opened, However, clear nnd cold, and by mon was all that could be desired. The streets through which the line of pro cession passed were more than crowded they were packed throughout their entire extent, a distance of over fourteen miles, with a perfect sea of human heads; in fact it was with great difficulty that the police were enabled to force a passage throu"h the living mass for the procession to thread its way through. Stands were erected in dif ferent parts of the city along tho lino of the i 1 l f . 1. ! route, nnd nours Deioro ma procession moved every cliirible spot on them was oc cupied by expectant men, women and chil dren. Probably at no previous public demon stration were so many visitors in the city. On Sunday every hotel in the city was tilled up with guests, and many hundreds had to bo content with napping during Sunday night on sofas, chairs, ami settees. Our reporters were busy during tho entire day Yesterday taking notes for a correct, truthful reliable report of the demonstration, and we present below as complete an ac count as energy, activity und rapidity of mo tion could produce. The line was announced to move at ten o'olock precisely, but, owing to the unavoid able delay in all tho companies getting into line, the first division did not commence countcrniarching,down Broad street until a lew minutes after eleven o'clock. Tho distance between divisions and com panies was remarkably well preserved, and, with tho exception of the halt for dinner, which took place when the head of the pro cession reached Fourth and Wharton streets, there were very few unnecessary delays. Chief Marshal Henry B. Bobb and his coad jutors deserve much praise for the precision which marked everything connected with the affair. The procession was in motion the entire day, and the shades of night had fallen long before the last company iu tho Hue bud passed the end of the route. The crowd stood their ground like mar tyrs, and so eager was the desire to witness the entire procession, that thousands ol per sons went without both dinner and supper iu ui uur 10 maintain me posmou nicy uuu secured at an early hour in the day. The extent of the procession can be ar rived at from the following: A gentleman left the end of the procession a little before six o'clock, at tho corner of Fourth and Pine streets ; he walked along Fourth to Chesnut street, and there met the head of tho prcession going down Chesnut street. Consequently, its length extended from Fourth and Pino to Wharton, up Wharton to Ninth, up Ninth to Pino, up Pino to Eighteenth up Eighteenth to Arch, up Arch to Twenty-first, up Twenty-first to Green, dow n Green, to Twelfth, down Twelfth to Chesnut. and down Chesnut to Fourth. Tho procession consequently filled up nearly seventy-six squares. Allowing ten squartta to a mile, this would make tho pro cession ubout seven ami u half miles in length. A number of street decorations were seen at different point. A triumphal arch was erected at the corner of Ninth and Lombard streets. Three or four arches were erected in Pine street, betwecu Second and Fourth, aud a large number of private, residences were draped in bunting. The ii ' oflico !. was gaily decorated with nans, in honor ot our noble firemen, and the National Union Club, in Chesnut street, above Eleventh, had a line display, of lings, tfce. .irr.iuts .ix w.iKin.MiTo:. OKUAT REDUCTION OF TKU AIlMY. Gi n. Grant has reached Washington, and has issued an order which u ill speedily mus ter out of service nearly all the volunteer army. Ho has assigned the artillery for the most part to the forts of tho Northern States; the forts of the Southern seaboard, with two or three exceptions, are to be iu charge of of colored troops. All the volun teer cavalry east of the Mississippi goes out of service forthwith. Other reductions nre in progress, nnd it will not be many weeks, if nothing goes awry, before the army will be reduced almost entirely down to the re gular army. the fkeedmen's nritKAu. The September reports to the Freedmeb's Bureau show a continually decreasing num ber of those receiving rations from the Gov ernment. There are more than M.OOO .'reed men in the district comprising Washington, Alexandria, &c, out of which number only. 803 sick and destitute wero fed at Govern ment expeRc. Many of these are wives and children of colored soldiers killed or dis abled in the service of tbe country. In the Department of Tennessee and Kentucky there were 979 persons subsisted by tbe Bu reau Sept. 20; at present there are none. As tbe incapacity of the colored race to take care of itself is perfectly well known, we presume the 979 are all dead. TUB rnESIDENT ASH THE KOCTII CAROLINA DELEGATION. On Friday last, a delegation of leading South Carolinians, appointed by tho State convention now in session, had an interview with President Johnson, to intercede for tho executive clemency iu behalf of Jeff. Davis, Gen. Magrath, and others. We have not room to go over the ground taken by the delegation, or the replv of the President; but will state in brief that the President maintained himself and tho position of the Government with a just dignity and em phatic ability. Every one cannot but admit this. He said distinctly that tho Govern ment did not seek blood; but that there was a great principle to establish, which was that there is such a crime as High Trenton. After that, he would not indicate what bis course would be, yet be did just so indicate by this admission; that is to say, ho would not interfere with the course of things until after tho trial aud conviction of Davis.

SECRETARY McCULLOCH'S OPINION Or THjCM. Att Important feiprecb from film. Cincinnati, Oct. 13. The Oattttt publishes a speech made by Secretary McCullach, at Fort Wayne, Indi- , 1 . 1 . i- t.;..i. 1... .. : . ana, on Wednesday nigiu, in wmcu iiegirs his views on tiie national finances. lie tnid be was not one of those who teem to repudi ate coin as a measure of value, and to make a sound paper currency tho standard ; on the contrary no belonged to mat ciass ni persons wuo, reirariuni; an eeiuivu un-inui; currency as an impracticable thing among enterprising and commercial peopie,nevcrtne less look upon an irredeemable currency as an evil .jlch circumstance for a time may render necessary, but which is never to be sustained as a policy. By tho common con sent of nations sold and silver are tho only two measures of value ; they are the neces sary regulators of trade. He favored a well secured convertible pa per currency. No other can to any exteut ben proper substitute for coin. It is not expected that there will be a dollar in coin in reserve for every dollar of paper in circu lation; that is not necessary. For all ordi nary home transactions paper currency is sufficient ; but there are constantly occurring periods when tho balances between countries, and in tho United btates between the ditler ent sections, must bo settled in coin. These balances arc insignificant, and, in compari son with the transactions out 01 which tney arise, and when a vicious system of credit does not too long postpone settlements, they arc arranged without disturbing tho move ments of coin. Whenever specie is needed for this purpose, or for any other purpose, the paper currency of the country should be convertible into it; und a circulation not so convertible will not be, and ought not to be, tolerated by the people. The present uncoiivcrti blc currency of the United States was a necessity of war; but now as the war has closed, and tho Government ought not bo a borrower, the currency should be brought up to n specie standard ; and be saw no way of doing it but by w ithdrawing a portion of tho circu lation. Ho bad no faith in a prosperity which was the defect of a depreciated cur rency; nor could lie see any salu pain to tread but that w hich leads to specie pay ments. The extreme high prices now pre vailing indicate that the business of the country is in an unhealthy condition. We are measuriua values by u false standard. We have a circulating medium altogether larger than is needed fur legimatc business, and the excess is used in speculations. The United States to-day is the best mar ket iu the world for foreigner to sell iu. The consequence is that Europe is selling us more than she buys from us, including our securities, which ouhgt 1 o t go ubroad, and there is a debt rolling up against us that must be settled in part at least iu coin. The longer the inflation continues the more difficult it will be for us to get back t specie payments, to which we must return sooner or later. If Congress shall, early in the approaching session, authorize the funding of the legal tenders, and the woik of reduc tion is commenced, and cheerfully and pru dently curried on, we shall reach it probably without injury and embarrassment to legal business. If not, we shall have a brief period of seductive prosperity, resulting in wide-spread bankruptcy and disaster. He spoke of the evil tendency of the present in flation on the public morals, converting the business of the country into gambling and seriously diminishing the labor of the country. We are apparently getting richer when morality languishes und tho produc tive iudustry cf the country is being dimin ished. Hu was hopeful that by wise legisla tion we will escape a financial collapse, aud that the currency may bo brought to the specie standard without these financial troubles which have in all countries follow ed protracted and extensive wars. c.ti.irostMi a.m oiti:..

I n v. x ico, Washington, Oct. 17.- From seml-nfnYlal intelligence just received bciC, from Mexico, ) it appears that nioro than out. thousand ! Austrian troops left Jalapo and Pcioto to Biirpiise a force under the command of tiie Liberal General Alatowe, but, instead of Bitcccedin in it, they wero themselves sur prised, anil most completely beaten by their enemies, leaving iu their hands six hundred prisoners and their artillery, consisting of five cannon; in fact, everything. Of the other four hundred they were cither killed, wounded or scattered. In Guadalajara, on the occasion of a trial for the abuse of the press, the people made a great demonstration of republicanism. More than a thousand persons by vocifera tion obliged the public accuser to be silent, and took out of the court the accused antl the counsel fur the defence, bearing them in triumph all over the city, w here large crowds joiued tliein ia feastiug the accused, w hose alleged crime consisted of attacking the Em pire. In the State of O.-ijaca the Liberal upri sing is general, including all the lluasleca, the coast of Tchauntepeg and adjacent ter ritories. General Diaz, who, it is known, made his escape from Puebla, where he was kept a prisoner in jail by the French, is now at the head of the insurrection in Cujaca. The fart of bis being one of the bravest and most enterprisiag generals among tho Liberals, gives to, the movement in that tate, where his influence is pararuouut, an importance which the Imperialists cannot any longer conceal. The Republicans now hold the States of Tabasca and Chiapas, a very large portion of Onjaca, part of Puebla and Vera Cruz, all that is designated as the South, which com prises the State of Guerrero now, excepting Acapulco nnd the Huesteca; nearly, it not quite, all of Tamaulipus, one part of San Luis, chiefly Valle del Matz, and the dis tricts of Venado and Mateharcala; the entire States of Keuvo Leon and Coabuila, except ing their capitals; something of Durango, Chihuahua, aud Sinoloa, and nearly the en tire of Michoncan, Jtc. Resides those sections of the country which they control, they have a great many bands of guerillas swarming in Jalisco, C'ohiua, Ziecetecas, and Buana Lusto, with out mentioning tho Tierra Calicote. In the Statu of Mexico, in Juarutero and Talas they have the daring guerillas, Ugaldo and Fra gose, who with one thousand well mounted men, are everywhere, and always stronger when they are represented as destroyed.

Pipes have been laid from tho gas well to two largo iron works, ono at a distance of over 1,800 feet from the well. Theso work arc heated, and the engines run by means of the gas, and have been found to produce a steadier heat as much less expense than coal. rtKuK.NT.UATio.N of tub South.

The success of t his project, of which theie can be no doubt, will do more for the South than all that thus far the South has done for herself. Camfouma Ei.kctiox.
