PHILADELPIIIA, Spectal Dirpatch 80 The Trivune. AN UNPARALLELED DEMONSTHATION, PuiLApxLreas, July 4=12:80 a. m.—The watceh-night of the century has been observed by the people of this city with all the ceremo- nlals and enthusiasm that so importaut an occa- slon could tuspire, The sceno presonted by the streets of Philadelphia during the ontire even- ing, and continulng cven at the present writing, has been ono of uuprecedented novelty and {npressivencss. It was expected that the Philadelpbians would * Iay themselves out," as the plirnse is, In the celebratlon of the national suniversary, aod, knowing that the cyes of the whole cguniry were upun them, the citizens long since doetermined to produce and carry out a programme greater than had ever been attempted on any similar occasion. For the past month the officials and prominent rosldents havo been In wlmosi constant consulta- tion us to the best means and measares to be taken for securing tho grandest results, and thelr unagimity of fecling and action has led them on to success. Already Philsdelphia wears proudly the significant wreath of laurol, s having produced the biggest Fourth of July celebration on record. TIE IRRUPTION OF PREEDOM'S TIOSTS. Beginningyesterday with carly mora the tralus from all quarters of the land came, overladen with eager sight-scers. The cxpress-trains on the Pennsylvunia Road—and what rond here- about {s not the Penusylvania’al—all carried cxtra cars, in many cases double the usual num- -ber, while countless oxcurslon trains and boats rushed hitherward the livelong day. Although the exerclses were not to commence before ovening, the, principal streets down town were filled with o great crowd constautly in the fore- noon, though there were no processions or pub- lic displays whatever to attract the people. Chestnut street was 8o junmod ns to scri- ously impede travel. Many of the throng, from thelr long lincn<dusters, carpot- socks, and umbrellas, could bo readily distingulshed 0s pilgrims hemmed in between train and hotel, and thelr weary, un- shaven faces scomed to besocch pity from the heartless crowd. More thnes than tho tradi- tional stick was ¢ver shakcn at did the. stroet~ cars becomo blockaded. Passongers from the Centennial grounds were frequently stranded at Blxteenth stroct, and people desiring to go the opposita dircution, like the poor playors in “ [umlet," “ tore a passion to tatters' in vain cfforts to sccuro transportativn, DECORATIUN. Becking for an adequats reason for this ex- traordinary and uncalled-for filling-up of the thoroughfares, I at length came to the conclu- slon that oll this multitude wers attracted by tho procesa of decoration that waa golng on at ull the stores and resfdences. It fs cortainly true, though strange, that the average grown Philadelphian can gather himself into a crowd at a far smaller provoeation than the gamin of & Western village. Not willing to walt till even- ing for a sight of the flags and banners project- ing from thousands of windows, the people promenaded up and down Chestuut, Market, aua ‘Walnut streets under o sunner sun that shono down rays Lotter than tue projectiles at the bombardwment at Fort S8umter, TOWERRFUL 1107, . It was Intenacly hot all dny, Scarcely a zephyr paraded in the middlo of the Delaware River, and any ono who has been to Philadelphia knows that, when there {a no wind on tho river in sum- mer time, the city is like ono of those furnaces upon which the carly Christlan martyra ‘were stewed, or baked, or served up in paus according to the tasto of the Roman Emperors. I marked tho thennometer only once during the after- noon, and then it stood 00 in the shade, and then I looked aut upondho street, and, sceing the endlesa procession of people on both sldes of the street, marveled. TOWALDS BVENING the atmosphere assutied o more felicitous tone, The crowd, meanwhile, Instead of decreaslng, grew {n numbers, As early a8 § o’clock people began to take up thelr stations at all available .points on tho chief streets. On the stops of the Mint a Inrge group of men and women congro- gated. Even before that hour the minor shops gifted with & flight of steps leading Into thelr salesrooms were early sulzed upon by the great crowds, As to THB UMSTAINS WINDOWS, 1t can only be sald that they were {n cxccssivo demand. Lodgiug-house kecpers on Chestnut sud Brodd strects, I am assured, made enough money out of the rental of their windows to poy thelr expenses for tho entire scason. For eeveral days past thero had been an unexampled demand upou theso particular parties for rooms, and thoy, appreclating the mutivesof the people applylug for them, ralscd thelr prices propor- tlonately, As muches$100 was pald for the use of a singlorwindow during the evening. GETTING LEADY POR TR PROCKSSION. Near tho cornerof Bruad and Clicstuut streots, at about 8 o'clock, & number of gally-decorated wagons might have been secn leading from all party of the city in tha direction of Broad street. | werecoun! ‘aund a grand series of pyrotechinieal Many of them were drawn by six and elzht horses, and their tops were eovered with ever- greens and Chineso lanterns, The latter were not yet lit, as the day had as yot scarcely fadod into dusk. Boon they wera followed by groups and long lines of workmon all’ drossed In their Bunday opparel and exhibit- ing tho samo signs of excltement that wero manifested fn tho non-participants. The rougher clemonts were not wanting, Among the bystanders at every step waa to be met somo representative of the crackman or pocket-picking fraternity. *Brawny Bill," of the 1sland, contended with * the Swooper " of New York for the first_prize in the lingof ar- tistic workmanship. One countryman, who was g0 foolish us to carry his pocketkook with him, was relieved of $1,200, THE PROCESSION was sdyertised to at half-past 8 o'clock from the mrnumfifln’: and Bainbridge atrests. It was eome time after that before the vast line was formed, although tho varlous companics lind nsscinbled as carly.an 6 o'clock from the factorics and stores. Bany establishments furnished as many a8 000 mplece. some were in uniform of blue or hlack, and all were well dressed und respectable. There has heen no such a representation of the fndustrial classes sinca 1791, when thore was &” grand pa- rade of the trndes-unfons. As this 18 one of the chict manufacturing cities of the Unlon, and as’ all the lieavy manufacturers Lave taken a lively interest Inthe processlon, it can be scen that the number of participanta readily rolled up to an extraordinary fOgure. It would be fdle to attempt an enumeration of tho many flrms represented, composing as they did, every trude and fndustry. Noless than ane hundred different establish- ments Joincd n the ling of ‘tnarch, each one fur- nishing an average of 200 men. There Was one wagon to about o hundred fout marchers, Each wagon was decorated profugely with evergreens, and was supplicd with dozens of Chinese or calelum lights, AN INPOSING NOCTUIINAL BCENT. In passing down the strects the cileets of these gorgeous lights can be hinagined, Thelr radiance foll upon the lofty walls of brick and the countless swarms of Jookers-on, bestowing upon ' them o ore than carthly charncter. Looking down from s third- story window on Chestnut otreet, onc was struck with the welrd aspeet that pervaded the scene in its entirety. Across the street, for a distance each way as far as tho eye could reach, was o line of trede-palaces fully fHumined from cornice to foundation-stone. In the lower win- dows of some were rows on rows of brillfant varlcolored candles,, arranged sometimes In pyramids, and again I circles aud all sorts of queer angles. Al the windows were but masses of hmman heads. Balconies were floored, and upon the summits of the lofticst roofs could be scen the Innumerable bluck dots which stood for so many men and women. The pro- cesslon in organizing formed in four divisions upon Broad street, oceup; ng o distance of near- 1y 3miles, It was after 3 o'clock when the fm- monsy concourse began to move northward on Brond street, procecding amid the acclamations of the populace na far as Columbia avenue. THE GREAT MEF, Prominent in the ling was Gov. Rayes, the Republican candidate, eacorted by about §00 men, The Emperor of Brasil shared with him the honars of the processlon, being nccompanicd by a body-guard of brawny worlkinen 500 strong from the saw-factory of Ylanry Disston & Sons. Among the other “notisl:s present and taking part were Govs, Bagley 17 Michigan, Hartras of Pennsylvanta, Rice of Massachusetts, Lippett of Riiode Tsland, and Carroll of Maryland. Prince Oscar of 8weden was followed by an es- cort of 500 workmen. The Murquis de Rocham- beau was also present, as were any number of forcign diplomats and Commissloners to the Exposition. i disea. ‘While alluding to til sccues that touched the cye, 1 have hitterto furborne from wentioning tiie sounds that saluted the car. Whilo not an interestinz featuro to people of sensi- tive nerves, tho fierce volloy of firccrackers and the musketry of sky-rockets were not wanting. Ali along the streets that had been deslgnated ns the line of march, thers was o contined offense to the ear of this kind.

Tho fun, and there wers bushels of it, was meant in good part, and was taken s such generally, 5 MOVEMENTS OF TITE LINE, ‘The procession, containing at the start no less than 80,000, passed up Bruad strect as faros Columbla_avenue.

The air was chilly last night, and the mosquito pests were laxIn thelr blovd-letting operations, and no cartridges were exploded in tho tents for the purpose of blowing ur smok- ing them out. When rovellle was sounded this morning, the responsec of tho soldlers was prompt, and Maj, Billy Nevans and his drum corps. made the alr rigg with the old familiar sounds, Cowmissary Kinsley served an excel- lent breakfast, and tien followed guard-mount.

A GREAT CELERRATION, Bpecial Dispatch to Tha Tridune, New Yonk, July 8.—There was no need to Issue proclamations to insure n gencral observ- ance of the 8d of July s a hollday. Everyhody who conld do so accepted it as a duty to be idle, The chief business-houscs were closed in every part of the city, The stages ran as usual on Broadway, but had it not been for these and lve and butchers’ and bakers' carta the city would have worn & thoroughly ‘hollday aspect. The day was not given, as the Fourth usually 1s, to nolay explosions of firc-crackers and bombs, and this une annoying feature of our anoual celebration was missing yesterday, At night thesa demonstrations became more general, but, as they added to the gencral effect of the torch- light procession, they were enjoyed by the peo- ple. Everybody in the streets until a late hour was In the highest spirits and best of temper. THE DECORATION of the city began as early as last Friday and continued up to sunsct yesterday. There were few houses in any quarter that did not display natlonal colors In some form or ancther, but it is a singular fact that the poorer quarters were the tost elaborately decorated, and it must be added, though reluctantly, that the Germans scemed most enthusfastic and active In the celebration. The east slde, from the Bowery to East River put Broadway and all the western half the city, not cxcepting Fifth avenue, to shame in this regard. There waa very little In- genuity shown in the methods of decoration. As a general thing, the ordinary patriot waa content to unfurl flags from his windows, or drape streamers of red white and blue hunting from window to window. In rome scctions, more cspecially on the east side, portraits of Washington, paintings of revolutlonary scencs, or pictures emblematical n dealgn, were placed \In front of bulldings, the frames being draped in nationa! colors. Few mottoes or sentl- ments were shown, The display of bunting waa conflued to the flags of no onc natlonality. Those of all natfons were frequently displayed from tho same house. The British and Ameri- can flags were to be secn on the same roof, and in the German quarter the flag of France was repeatedly found. In the French quarter the German flag was not so often found. One of the most beautiful effects of general decoration with large flaga was visiblein Broadway. The wind blew dircctly across that street, and the flags thus blown outward seemed, 08 one looked the leugth of the street, to form an arch of banners above it. TR MULTITUDES on the streets formed one of the most interest- csting features of the occaslon, The sidewalks, even [n the heat of midday, were thronged with people, who were apparcntly golng nowhere, or rather anywhere their eyes in scarch of the beautiful carried them. The overlonded stages carried parties of six or eight scquaintances from adjolning citivs or more distant suburban towns, who had come solely to look on sod en- Joy themselves. Later fn- the afternoon the drives to the park were thronged as on o Satur- dfli afternoon when the coaching club is out, an AT NIOAT the main thoroughfarc, were well nigh Impass- oble, and ontheline of thotorchlight procession the sidewalks wero packed as they have not been since tho funerals of Lincoln and Horace Gree- ley. Theillumination at night begau an hour earlier thau that set in the officlal programme, bnt this must bo expeeted from an impatient populace, under the excitement of ‘the oceasion, Many lanterns were lighted by 8:30, and explo- slons of firc-works begun cven earlier. By tho hour set for moving TIE PROCESSION the Bowery wasastreamn of light, and os the pro- cession moved north through Broadway its etlect ssacen from adistance was most pleturesquoand beautiful. The swinglug louterns In front of houses;, and the waving torches in the ranks scemed to be a long stream of flame, fluttering, as it were, fu tho wind, At the same the, largo bonfires ot varlous poluts and con- stant explosions of Roman candles und rockets along the route made it clmost aa light as day aud revealed vast crowds on tho sidewalka and the moving masa in proccsslon In strange bLut gorgeous lights and fantastic shapes. The numbers {n the torchlight processfon reached fully 25,000 men. The head bad turned into Broadway before the rear had left the place of rendezvous at Fourteenth strect and Third ay- caue. . . NO MOUNTED MEN were permitted In the line for fear that the liorses would bo frightencd by the unusual dis- play, oud only o fow hacks dng‘?u«l along he supplics of fireworks used “during the marel, The composition of the processivu was certainly incongruous aud cosmopolitan, Ger- mau sluging bands followed the American mill- tin; German Behutzen corps and Irish Temper- ance socictics wera {n adjucent divisions. Trades Unlons and civic sssoclations, snd sceret so- cletica woved in one body. ‘The Ancient Order of Hibernians and the Posta of the Arny of the Republie were in closo company, whits Spaulsh, Swiss, French wsnd Italian assoclations wery combfued In tho sume division, The hour was not favorable to o display of lanterns, but the inro of torchlights aud “the light of the fires and fire masks it up those carricd 8o that their lcfiend.l wera clearly discernible. (he entire march wus past enthualastic crowds, whose general enjoyiment extended to those {i the ‘mndu, 50 that, in passing poluts claborately flluminated or docorated, thie lung- continucd, oft-repeated shouts and cheers wers almost deafentug. The most interesting fuaturo of the duy’s celebration was witnessed AT MIDNIGUT, IN UNION SQUARE. As the procession reached this polut vach divi alon was masacd In the park inclosures, its bands being grouped o tho part of thé plaza frontlng on Beventocuth aud facing /s large platform erceted for the German singing socivties which wera to sing the hymus selected for the occasfon, 'T'he result waa that eight entire divisions were zrouped §n the purk, and tho bands werc com- blne Iu one grand orchestrs of not less than !O‘I Lrass instruments, with o chorus of 600 volces, AROUND THE BNTIRE SQUARD tho crowd of spectators lued the sidewalk: kept in place by platoons of police, whq ha early guarded tlic square from {ntruders. At cacli corner of the syquare the pyrotechnlsts were at work, and botween the alrs which were played and sung, discharged thelr battorics of ckets amid the huzzas of the great crowds around and within the park. At the hourof midnight precisely the ringlng of bells in ulmost eyery church in the clty was heard above the din of rockets, and the musis of the bands and churuscs, aud, & moment later, the deep roverberations of the artillery in tho Yorta of the bay and in various ts of the city added to fl:.u sound with which tho new e¢ra was ushered ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

From treo to treo strings of countleas lanterns were suspended, and tho lamps In the square wero nlso painted in varjons colors, A8~ the hour = advanced, the crowd fncreased, and women and children fainted, and were with difiiculty carrfed out of the throng, It was almost an “honr fter tho start of the processlon tefore its head entered the square and took up the positions sssigned to diflerent portions. Members of the Sanger Verhund were on the platform to the number of 1,000, while many hands that took part in the procession nssembled fn the plaza, he- tween the grand stand and slngors’ stand.
