ANNIVERSARY OF THE CORN
WALLIS SURRENDER.

If there is a day in the calendar on which
the once Southern. and the Union element of
Virginia, society can meet and mingle, it is,
this very day; the anniversary of that day,
on which the decisive events, that secured the
independence Of America, TRANSFERRED. It is
true, that there is no preparation for military
or civic display, but the day still lives. in the
hearts of all true Virginians aye, and we may
safely add, in the hearts of all true Americans
The same spirit with which this old State has
heretofore commemorated the events of York
town, 10th of October 1881, still animates
every Virginia heart. YORKTOWN still stirs
the patriotic and generous hearts, let us hope
not only Of Virgsnians, but of all those who
revere and love the Union 1t is true, that
she does not celebrate to-day, as of yore. Size
does not salute the morning sun, with the roar
of cannon and the pride and pomp of mill
tary display. The gust of eloquence andth gen
eral out-pouring of popular joy is not heard,
butt day is still sacred, and the people in
their hearts will observe it; business may keep
on in its usual course, and the people may en-
gage in all their wonted traffic of the hour,
but, from the risingfof the sun to the going
down thereof, the people will feel in their
hearts that it is Nations Sabbath, and thou
sands will raise their thankful voices to the
God of Nations, that they again find them
selves and their households in the enjoyment
of peace, under the broad egis Of the Ameri-
can Union. And why should not Virginia
love the Union Z? 1t is the giant-child of which
she is the maternal relative. 1t is bone either
bone, and flesh of her flesh 1t is baptised in
her best blood, and consecrated by the almost
divine hands of the Revolutionary Apostles.
Its history is her history, and to blot out that
portion which refers to her connection With
the Union, would be consigning, to an ever
lasting eclipse, the brightest pages in all her
glorious existence. She exults in the title OF
Mother of States" and, surely, she is not 50
unnatural as not to exult to-day that her hap
py brood is once again around her in peace
and independence. }ar

Philadelphia, Oct. 16.-The grand parade
of the Philadelphia Fire Department to-day is
one of the most imposing and splendid page
ants ever presented in this country. The pro-
ccssion is composed Of twenty-five divisions,
each numbering from four to six companies,
in all over IA, including over thirty visiting
companies-six from New York city, one from
Boston, one from Albany, one from Buffalo,
one from Salem, Mass, two from Jersey City
| one from Newark, two from Washington, one
| from Lebanon, Pa, one from Allentown, four
! from Camden, N. j., two from Reading, one
| from Harrisburg, one from Pittsburg, and one
| from Wilmington, Del Most Of the visiting
companies brought their. apparatus.
! Many of the Philadelphia companies turn
out with entirely lew engines and hose car
riages, and all the apparatus is decorated with
most excellent taste
Nearly every company in the line is accom-
panied by musicians, comprising the most
celebrated bands in the Union. The weather
is most excellently adapted for the parade, es
pecially as the route is Of such great length.
The morning opened cool and pleasant, with
breeze from the west The streets are crowd
cd with people, hundreds Of thousands are
gathered along the route, which includes all
sections of the city. There are large numbers
in the city, and others are hourly arriving to
see the great show.
The Ledger to-day estimates that the par
ade will turn out more men than followed in
Gen. SCOTS Grand Army up from Vera Cruz
to the Halls of the Montezumas. The houses
along the route are gaily decorated with flags,
and numerous arches are thrown across the
streets at many points. Immense stands have
been erected for the accommodation of specta-
tors. 1t is estimated that the line is nearly
ten miles in length. The drill of most of the
companies is perfect, and their excellent
marching, indicates the military education
most of the firemen have received during the
recent war; The day will be memorable
one in the history Of the city, and a noble in
dication of the worth of our volunteer FIRE
men.
The head of the line of parade which start
ed at II o'clock this morning, did not reach
Third and Chestnut street, the place of dis
missal, until O'Clock this evening, having
marched nearly twenty miles. No disorder
whatever occurred on the route. 1t is esti-
mated that nearly twenty thousand fremen
participated. Three hours and a half We're
consumed in passing given point.

KENTuoKY.-Gen. Palmer, by military
authority, and withoutinstructio from Wash

military passes to all negroes to, go whittier
they would, and has paid no respect TO the
fact whether they We're free by service in the
army, rebellious masters, or to any other cause.
The State Courts deny the validity of his ac-
ton, still recognize slavery as existing in the
State, and enforce the laws which prevent en-
ployers from hiring slaves without the consent
of the masters Innumerable law suits are
the consequence. Those who wish laborers
are deprived Of their own negroes by military
authority, and prevented from hiring others
by civil authority, while the freedmen roam
the country and congregate in camps, wholly
demoralized.
