From Our Own Correspondent. gax Feaxcisco, Nov. 1T.—You will have heard of our disaffected workingmen, for the notice of the press has stimulated them to such explotts that they have finally forced themselves fato prominence. Their uprising has been altogethier a new wrinkle in San Francisco, and is one of the im- mediste outgrowths of the late riot in the East. At firet It was simply one of the frequent dem- onstrations against the Chinese, but latterly it has assumed a phase of Communism, snd the gisaffected bave boldly arrayed themselves geainst the rick men as their natural enemies. “The workingmen, so-styled, contented them- sclves for atime with holding open-air meetings inscattered portions of the city, but finally, re- solvingupon a bold move, they marched in sclid phalanx one fine night to hold their meeting in capital’s stronghold, on Nob Hill. . Nob Hill is steep, ungainly, and almost in- sccessible, but the timber palaces of the rich perch comfortably on its steep incline. Kear- ze, the leader, aud his coborts plodded their wavap, and declared war. There may have ‘been )¢ uneasiness among the millionaires, for they had a number of policemen in citizen’s clothes distributed among the crowd, but there was mo active disturbance. Their objective ‘point was & TIE CROCKER-YUNG PENCE. This unhandsome structure rears itself up de- fiantly in the back yard of the railroad magnate, o hideous monument of the obstinacy of two men,—the one rich, the other poor. The rich man has the best of it. He always does. When the railroad colony selected Nob Hill as the abiding-place where they should all dwell lovingly tozetlier, and jingle their riches in cach other’s neighborly ears, Leland Stanford bought an entire square. Tpou one-half of it he located his own dwell- ing,a ereat rambling structure, full of satin, gilt, and bay windows. 1t threw the shadow of immense wealth on the comfortable and elegant but less pretentious house of bis friend over the way. To Hopkins, enother fricnd and partner, he gave the other half of his lot—for a cousidera- tion. Hopkins built a buge castellated and turreted mausion, which quite put to shame the whilom glories of the palace of the indignant Stanford. Charles Crocker, the other raflroad prince, wasthen svized with the fancy that it took a biz house to hold him, and erested Nob Hill with a bizger house than either of the others. He magmificeutly swept from the face of the earth the humbler residences which stood on the coveted land—all but one. A poor but honest undertaker, one Yung by name, saw his opportunity to make a fortune, and asked a fancy price for his bitof land and bis littie house. Crocker could mot see the same upportunity. They caviled, and bargained, snd carried on newotiatious for a mouth or two, but all came to nothing. A rich man is a wan of expedients. Crocker in anger and desperation caused to be erected a broad fence around three sides of TYung's house. It towers darklv a foot or two sbove the taliest chimney. The light and air of Heaven come in througli the chimuey tops and the front dour. They can get in nowhere else. A sullen obstinacy then fell upon Loth. and TYung suffers in silence, while Crocker is said to have contracted a g‘_'cnuinc fancy for the great ugly wall, and emokes bis posz-&mndjn.l cigar inthat portion of his big house which gives him the best view of it. i _ THANKSGIVING-DAY was selected by the workingmen, to whom this fence is peculiarly offensive, for its demolition. The workinsmen Were to have turned outin'a force of 25,000, and, after parading throush the Elreets, to pull down the fence unless it bad Leen remored. Unhappily forthese gentiemen, the Jeaders delivered themselves of certain un- timely incendiary which sub- Jeted them to arrest, and they were Gapped into jail with a _suadenness which quenched their ardor, and interfered seriously with the success of their meetiugs, Among”all the 25,000 followers it was found cifficait to obtain the modest Lail which was asked, sud Kearney languished in jail, issuing Lulletins until e was finally released withina day or two by a quibble of the law. It is more than possible that the litile Thankegiving spree will not come off. Unfortunately, many of the real workingmen Lave been led 'to interest themselves in the movement, but an 1dea of their zeneral charac- termay be rained from the action of one of the leaders, An entersrising bookseller of a _somewhat plilanthropic turu of mind offered to_employ 1his man (Bates by uame) to paint his house. Tistes accented the job, and worked manfully 1oran hour or so, but finally urged that the bouse did not need paisting; thought vainish- inz would be casier, and,” perhaps, a coat of whitewash best of all. - He concluded by pur- chasing 3 pocket dictionary on credit, and has pent his time since in concocting speeches by the aid of this acquisition.

Five theutres opeucd their doors on Mon- day night with fresh attractions, but there were not five audiences. The Kiral are here with a stock of most atrocious scenery and a wonderfully-fine ballet. Dumnpier, an Australian tragedian, is at the California, where Mrs. Bowers has just achieved a mbst signal failure. We have an original Amcrican comedy by local playwrights at the Grand Opera-House, and lastly, “The Danl- chefls” at Baldwin's. This wonderful play in- troduces two old favorites to California—Miss Fauny Morant and Mr. Charles R. Thorue, Jr. The flight of years is never realized till the mark of therr effacing fingers stands boldly out upon one wLo has been long absent. Miss Mo- rant’s crown of white hair and marvelously-in- sreased avoirdupois flashed unfamiliarly upon the sizht of - her old-time admirers, but her charm of speech remains unchanged. But twenty years will chanze a woman’s ap- pearance. Mr. Thomcé alwaysknown here as * Charley Thorue, left San Frandisco a rough diamond. He returns cut, and fined, and polished by the Iapidary of metropolitan experience. (s departure some years azo was uot long coutemplated by him, but was perhaps the best thing that ever happened to him. He was at that time playie uuder Tom Maguire, known as the Napoleun of managers. An altereation took place one afternoon be- tween Napoleon and Charley Thorne_regarding Walter Leman, an actor who must have been playing old-man parts ever since b was born, aud, according to appearances, long before any one clse was born. Chuarley Thorne and Tom Maguire parted in anger. Napoleon was thought to have met Lis Waterloo long since, but fortunc’s wheel bas revolved for him once again, and one of his first moves bas been to reintroduce Charles R. Thorne, Jr. Mayruire has taken Baldwin's Theatre, a most luxuriously appoiuted little house, and the star of his juck bas risen once more. The opera scason inaugurated his_house, and the new dramutic compauy in “The Danichefls”” have eiven a tone o the theatre which it lies with the manazement to sustain. THE MAR X has set in pretty briskly, and che fashionable world is busy getting up toilets and buy wedding-presents. A rather notable affair o curred last week, the notices of which have rather petrified the readers of the dailies with astonishioent, as no one scemed to realize until now that we are in such an advanced state of aristocratic civilization® The Post, or court journal, could produce nothine more * toney than the following: - ManmiEp—In this city, Nov. 6, at the private chapel of the bride’s father, by the Most Rev. Dr. J. S, Aleman; chinshop of San Francisco, as- sisted by the Very Kev. Jobn Pendergast, V. G., and the Rev. Thomas A. Mcshen, Itobert, =on of Richard Tobin, Esq., counselor-at-law, to Katie, eldest d. terof D. C. Oliver, Knight of the Golden Cross of St. Gregory the Magnificent. A epecial blcssing from hik Holiness Pope Pius IX. was received by telegram for this happy occasion. The telezram occupied a conspicuous place on the table among the wedding presents, and awed the vehalders with a proper realization of 11\1.«: complete sounduess of the unew nuptial knot. We do not get married like that every day in this country. ANOTIER SAVINGS BANE has collapsed, but this time rather a small affair. It is only for some £20,000,—a trifle in the midst of the creat wreeks of some of the others.

The wire-pullers ol the Nevada mines would have an immense fortune if they have all the porpliyry they report. Singularly enough, some outsiders have made a littie motiey in the Ophir rise, but the insiders soon stopped that little pleasazutry. There would neither be <o many mnllionaires, nor so mauy dead-broke, if the outsiders could have a little fling sewi-occasionally. Jassamra. TO MY SCHOOLMATES. (Memoria in Aeternu.)

To all these sensibly-frivolous people, and to a great many more, the doings and sayinis of GEN. GRANT are by far the most absorbing questions of the hour. His comings and goiugs, his lilkes and dislikes, bis opinions and beliefs, have furnished “eopy” for countless colmmus in the papers lately. The General had no sovner settled down in the comfortable quarters prepared for him at the Hotel Bristol, thau those enterprising and frrepressible gentlemen, the reporters, be- wan a rezular siege. The bell-nandle on the hotel first-loor has been kept going in- cessantly by successive visitors, “wanting to know, you kunow,” like the irreverent Clennam at-the Circumlocution Office. When the ex- President gets back to his American lares and penates, he will have a grim and grucsome tale to unfold of desperate assaunits gallantly re- pelled, of curious callers sent empty away from the breach, aud, above all, of ' AWFUL CONVERSATIONS kept up with polite but pitiless dignitaries as innocent of English as the hero of Richmond is of French. All the interviewers are, of course, auxious to find out what the General thiuks of the erisis we are traversing. A declaration for oragainst the Marsbal’s policy—according to ihe interviewer's particular “color”’—wouid be of inestimable value to him. Now, for many good reasons, the General seems fully deter- mived not to commit biwself to any political- opinion whatever; and, s you may imagine he s, in conscaucnce, mot regarded with the most charitable cyes by the press.

" Gen. and Mrs. Grant made a long call at the Elysce on Saturday, which wes returned by Madame de MacMahon. On Monday Gen. Noyes mave A GRAND DISNER AND RECEPTION at his handsome private residence in the Ave- nue Jusephine. The dinuer, for which invita- tions had been gent to a limited namber of guests, almost all Diplomatists_or - Ministers, proved a very brilliant affair. Marshal McMa- hou was represented at the feast by his favorite Aide-de-Camp, the Marquis &’ Abzac. The whole of thie Cabinet, wi c ux 5- ter of Marine, was also_present; besides and Mrs. Grant, Jesse Graut, and Consul There was no ing. Under the peculisr circumstances resulting from the events of the 16th of Mag, this may, perliaps, have been as well. 1 9 o'clock in the evening there was a grand reception, which was attended by Marshal Mac- Mahon, the Diplomatie Corps, and a number of the most pro n'and English resi- dents in Paris. The general coup detat in the salon, as I enterea about hall-past 9, was really splenuid. Uniortunately, Gen. Noyes' apari- ments are not nearly large enough to hold all the sts he is likely to seé this winter. Although 1 rooms en suite were thrown open for the munodation of the company: overerowding soon_grew ducidedly unp! The refresbing suht of the banks of plants and flowers which adorned the salon de reception afforded some slight relief, to be sure; but it was more apparent thau real, and not appreciable without a good deal of imagination. Nothing could weit have been PKETTIER OR MORE EFFECTIVE, however, thau the scene, if this reservation be made. Gen. Torbett, the American Consul (in all the glory of wold lace aud a new uniform), presented ch fresh armval to Gen. and Mrs. Noves, Geu. and. Mrs. Grant, who stood at the ond of the room farthest from the door. The plain black“tlothes ot the ex- President contrasted strongly with the uniform of the American Minister, the white silk of M Grant, and the light blue satin of Mr: A few minutes after 1 bad shaken han the General, a loud buzz and stir in the salon announced the arrival of M 1 MacMalion, T was in_evening-dress, 1 he military medal and the grand cordon of the Lewion of Honor. Tail-coats hardly become the Mar- shal’s peculiar style = ofs beauty, more suited to grace the rude surroundings of the tented field than to the drawing-rovm. ‘The meeting of Gen. Grant and the French President was extremely cordial, and, 1 dare say, would have been still more so but for that little dificulty of languaze, To talk in signs would have been undignified, and 10 ex- cliange ideas without the betpof an iuterpreter was 1mpossible. You may suppose that Gen.

They all stooa in a group close to me, in a corner; and I thought, as I watched the supercllious und easy Duke, the en- ergetic, handsome Minister of the Interior, the small, ugly, but intellectuat-looking Miniszer of Public Instruction, and, lastly, the luckless Marshal himself, that a Providentiafly dirceted thunderbolt—not taxable with Communism by even the most rabid Monarchist—might, hy fall- ing suddenly in their midst, have done good service.

A medical gentleman of this city has among his patients one in a bordering town of our sister State of Massachusetts who, having been carried over a shafting a number of times, re- quires surgical attention. A few days since the physician went 10 sce hjs mangled patient, and left directions that some oakum be Trocured as ing for his wounds. The sulferer’s father proceeded to the village pharmacy for the re- quired article. He found the clerk in charee and asked him: ** Have you snv oakum?” With ice at once assuring and pleasant, the clerk plied that he had. And then, with pleasing alacrity, he went to et the article. He hunted through rows of botties, hosts of little drawers, audinto every nook and eranny of the shop, but no oakum did be find, Finally, with a uzzled look, he returned to the counter, and, in faltering tones, put the question: “Is it a fluid or 2 powder¢” The patient smiled, and gained rapidly after the result of the errand was made knowo.

The Statue of the Queen Lonisa- Sans-Souci to Saxony. --From Dresden--lis Gardens and Its Pieture-Gallery~ Raphael’s Hadonna di Santo Sisto. Special Correspondence of The Tribune. DRESDEN, October, 1877.—A visit to Berlin is considered very imperfect if it does not in- clude a visit to Potsdam. A short railroad- Jjourney brings the traveler to this town; but, in order to sce the places which make it inter- esting, one must commit oneself to the mercies of a hackmau. We found one who assured us that be knew the whole order of the things to Ve scen, and resigned ourselves to his guidance, little dreaming that, after five hours of driving to palaces, and of walking through them, we should still come away leaving many things unseen. Our first station was THE ROYAL PALACE, in which, as in the other palaces, every relic of Frederick I is carefully preserved. Here one sees his writing-table, worn with much use. A wmusice-stand reminds onc of his flute perform- ances, which were much praised in his time. A bovkease in one of thie rooms contains French books only. A curious cabinet is shown, in which Frederick was wont to dine with coufi- dential friends. The doors are double, to guard against Jisteners. The centre of the round dining-table was so arranged that it cowld be let down into the kitchen and drawn up again; and the pillar be- neath still contains every convenience for the ascent of the various dishes, ice, wine, ete. Mr. Carlyle himsclf cannot give us an idea of the conversations carried on iu this sinzular isola- tion. When one sces the pains which & mon- arch must give himself in order to be alone with himsclf, or with his friends, one reflects that private life, and even obseurity, are not without their advantages. In this palace is shown a elock which s said to bave Leen given to Frederick by Mme. de Pompadour. Frow this place we wene to THE GARRISON CIURCI, where the sexton grimly unlocked the door of a vault under the pulpit, and showed us two cof- One, of metal, contained the remains of Frederic] he other, of black marble, those of his father, Frederick William I. These two historic personages have, thercefore, never been under ground. “ Dust to dust” appears a gentler sentence than this imprisoned homage. The flags taken from the French in 1813, and in 1570-'71, are displayed on cither side of the pul- pit,—a fittine =ift to the manes of the military monarch. Those battleflars in a Christian church make sad discord with the peaceable and fraternal spirit of Christianity. We now prozecd to the PARK AND PALACE OF . The former is laid out with mucl From a flight of marble steps, si height, one looks down upon a vista of woods and of fountaivs. Some costly marbles adorn this fine inclosure.

Among other splendors, it contains a marbie saloon 100 fect in length, and 3 grotto saloon, of which the walls are entirely covered with tine shells, with minerals, and with pre- clous stones.

The music- stand in this Palace has on it a piece of manu- script-music copied in Frederick’s hand, and covered with a glass. The most valuable works of art collected by Frederick have been transierred to the Natio Musce. Among the pictures that _remain ac Pousdam are_several 'portraits of Barterini, a danscuse, and Frederick’s favorite. The por- teait of his music-master, Quant, is aso shown. In the Ne ce is preserved a pen-and-ink ch of Voltaire, urawn by the band of his al fricnd. A printed page of the latter's i with a correction in Vol- ne.

Perhaps Mr. Carlylehas already told the world the reazons for this great expenditure. We have never got €0 far in his book. With all these residences ready-made to their hand, the Royal Family ol Frus i have fouud it expedient to construct others,—Witness t’i}c Marble Palace, the Palace of Babels- berg, and the Orangery. All - of there have been built since Frede: one of them, the oranzery, was completed as recently us ‘18%. 1t measures 330 yards in length, is adorned With numcrous statu 1k contains oue room in which the mantelpiece is of malachite, with tables, clock, and other or- naments to match.
