THE DEMONSTRATION OF THE WORKING- ‘The parade and demonstration of the work- ingmen Iast night, in furtherance of the eight hour movement. was certainly a very large, imposing, orderly and well-conducted affair. An effective feature of the procession was the ‘working representations ot the different trades, and which was carried out with great success, with printing presses, forges, -anvils, ruling- machines, paint brush: adzes, trowels, sail-needles, boiler-! &e., in full operation. w a At the City Hall, wher@tiie speaking took place, the crowd was one of the largest we ever Saw assembled in Washington. The iuterest felt by the wives and families of the working- men in the demonstration and the eight hour movement, was shown by the fact that notouly the spacious steps and landings of the City Hal) was almost entirely occupied by them, but numbers were also seen standing patient- ly in the muddy streets for hours, to witness the procession, or to listen to the addresses at the stand. » PrESONAL.—Messrs.

The Freedmens’ Bureau has received from the Superintendent in charge of the Sth district of Virginia, his report for the month of Octo- ber, from which it appears that all of the freed- men and refugees in Fairfax county are self- supporting. There are no camps in the county where freedmen are congregated. There are one hundred and thirty-five colored people at Fair- fax Court House, thirty at Fairfax Station, and about the ssme number at Lewinsville. Em- ploymenthas been obtained for the freedmen, and there is not now one in the county who is dependent on the Bureau for support. The deportment of the colored people in the county has been very satisfactory, they appearing to appreciate the blessings of freedom, and no cases are reported where the former owners of slaves have attempted to oppress the freed. men in any way. STATE DEPARTMENT. We are pleased to state that Mr. Frederick Seward has sufficiently recovered to resume the duties of Assistant Secretary of State. He has not been in attendance at the State Depart- ment as yet but he transacts official business at his residence. To-day, for the first time in six months, he attached his signature to a number of despatches. Hon. H. N. Conger, who was acting Sec- retary of State during the disability of Mr. Frederick Seward, is now absent in New Jer- sey. but upon his return to Washington will take charge of the Emigration Bureau of the Department, as Commissioner. INTERNAL REVENUE BUREAU. Hon. Wm. Orton yesterday retired from the Bureau, he haying resigned his position on the 25th ultimo, to accept the presidency of the United States Telegraph Company. Hon. E. A. Rollins, bis successor, has entered upon the discharge of his duties, as has also Mr. D. E. Whitman, who succeeds Mr. Rollins as Dep- uty Commissioner. Tne clerks of the Bureau yesterday after- noon assembled in the rooms of the Deputy Commissioner to bid adieu to Mr. Orton, who Was addressed in bebalf of the clerks by Mr. Pike, to which the late Commissioner replied in feeling terms. GOVERNOR PARSONS. Goy. Parsons, of Alabama, was at the White Honse again this morning in consultation with the President. It is understood that at one of his former interviews with the President he urged the abolishment of the Freedmen’s Bu- rean, alleging that it has caused much trouble in the southern States. Should the President even favor this policy, he will doubtless take no action in the matter until he hears General Howard's report, who is pow on a tour of in- spection im the States late in rebellion, under instructions direct trom the President. THE FARBAGUT NAVAL COURT-MARTIAL. This court met to-day at 12 o’clock, when Lieut. Col. Marston, of the Marine Corps, charged with conduct unbecoming an officer, in misappropriating a large sum of Govyern- ment money, who plead guilty yesterday mitted a lengthy written statement in defense. The court was then cleared for deliberation upon a verdict, and up to 2 o'clock p. m. was yet in secret session. The case of Commodore Craven, charged with neglect of duty in allowing the escape of the rebel ram Stonewall, will next be taken up—probably on Monday or Tuesday next. QUABTERMASTER’S DEPARTMENT. The (uartermaster’s Department is now about adopting measures for the recovery to the United States of Government horses sold by army officers, or purchased by them of offi- cers who had no authority to dispose of them. A large number of horses have thus been gob- bled, and their recovery and sale would bring in a handsome sum of money. —_—_—_——————— PARDONS. The President now devotes a considerable portion of his time to the preparation of his forthcoming message to Congress. Conse- quently he has granted no amnesty pardons for seyeral days past, and the applications are beginning to accumulate on his table in large numbers. THE CASE OF CAPTAIN PETTIT. The Judge Adyocate of the Court Martial, of which General Green is President, is engaged tu-day in arranging the papers in the case of Captain Pettit, keeper of the military prison at Alexandria, charged with the ill-treatment of prisoners entrusted to his care. The case will doubtless be taken up to-morrow. GENERAL LONGSTREET. Theex-rebel General Longstreet is stopping at the Metropolitan Hotel. INTERNAL REVENUE RECEIPTS. The receipts from internal revenue yester- day amounted to $2,100,635.71. TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. >—- British Troops for Canada. New York, Nov. 2.—A special to the Times trom Montreal to-day, says five regiments of British troops are expected there soon, to pro- tect the city from the Fenians, a Tne SILK MARKET IN FRANCE.—The Paris correspondent of the London Times writes that the general ppinion at the Lyons silk market is in fayor of lower prices, and nothing will change but orders from America. Fears, however, are entertained that hopes of finding market in that quarter are illusory, at least for this year. The high price of raw material induces manufactureys to confine themselves to the production of very fine silks, of which the price is remarkably low. The purchase of raw silk isconfined to single bales, according as their stock is exhausted, but no large sales are effected nor long credits. 87 Admiral Charles Keele, R. N., expired at Holloway, England, on the 9th of October, aged 70. He entered the navy in 1807. He was midshipman on the Jaya, and was severely wounded when that ship was captured by the United States frigate Constitution. &J-T wo Italian editors, one of La Patria, the other of 11 Popolo, have had a long and fatigu- ing duel, during which the noble sportsmen fired twelve shots without effect. a7 The famous Thames Tunnel, England, has been sold fora million dollars to a rail- way company. ®7 Ata concert given in Killarney, Ireland, recently, “God Save the Queen” was hissed. #7 The harbor of Norfolk, once one of the best in the county, is rapidly filling up.

After being hung up and let down several times, without elicit- img any information, they were found to be dead. ®@7 There is apprehension of a dearth of food in Nerth Carolina before the next crop is se- cured. The present crop is very materially injured by the protracted drouth which has prevailed. The crop has been very limited in some parts of the State, where there were mil- itary operations on a large scale.

The ship, iz the Navy Yard portion of the procession, had bard work in getting along the route, in consequence of the telegraph wires, but men employed with iong poles raised the wires soas to allow the ship, whose masts reached thirty-three feet from the groand, to pass under in safety. Atsome point along the foe one of the tracks was broken, and after reaching the City Hall some of the poles with which the men raised the wires having been broken, the top-gallant mast had to be let down, that it might be taken back to the Yard safely. ——_—e———.
