JouN DELaxo, Esq., Chief Clerk he In- terior Department, lett here last evening for New York, and will retarn in a few days. At THE WuirTs Hovse.—Senator Cole called ‘hie morning at the White House and had an interview with the President, as also did Secre- tary Belknap. SENATOR CATTELL telegraphs here that his health is greatly improved, and that he will be on hand at the opening of the session in Decem- ber. SunaTor YATES, who has been confined to his bed, at hie home in Jacksonville, ili:mots, with billious fever, is now convalescent, and bopes to be able to leave for Washington in ten days. InvITED TO THE PLYMOUTH CELEBRATION.— The President and Cabinet have received an invitation to be presen? at the anuiversary cele- bration of the Pilgrim Society to be given at Plymouth, Mass., on December, 2ist next. Tax Force To Bg Repvoev.—The rush of work in the Census Bureau has greatly slacked up of late, as General Walker has pushed things vigorously ahead, and soon the work of reduc- tion in the force will commence, probably 25 or 30 clerks going on the Ist proximo. Hon. E. C. IxGERsott, of Illinois, is in town and seems to take his defeat quite Philosophi- cally, though it was provoking to be beaten ibrough the treachery of a defeated candidate for the nomination. Jt seems probable that Mr. Ingersoll may take up his residence in Washing- ten. Jcupor Braprey, of the United States Su- preme Coart, has purchased the elegant house of Marshall Brown, Esq., on the cornerof New Jersey avenue and I sireet, and is to-day mor- tng his furnitnre there. His family Will oceupy their mew home the latter part of the present week. Vinnre Ream writes from Rome, October oth, that she would coon take her departare from the Eternal City for the United States, bringing with her the statue of Lincoin, jast completed, and says ehe hopes to be able to pre- sent it to Congress shortly after the commence- ment of the ensuing session. STRENGTH OF THE ADMY.—According to the aunual report of General Sherman, of officers and enlisted men in the army is 34,570. In com- pliance with the law of Congress, the number of commiss‘oned officers must be reduced from 288 to 2,277 by the Ist of January next. The enlisted men must also be reduced to 30,000 by the lst of July next. SexaTor ScnvRz aT THE WarTE Horse.— Senator Carl Schurz called on the President this afternoon, about 2 o'clock, and sent in his card, but was informed that the President was busy at the time. whereupon he withdrew. The President, it appears, devoved the afternoon to clearing off a file of unanswered private corres- pondence. Army Onprrs To-pay.—Lientenant David A. Griffith, unassigned, is relieved from duty as indian Agent, and will procec J to his home and await orders. Lieutenant W. FE. Horten is, at his own request, trarsferred to ‘6 list of super- numerarics, NAVAL ORDERS To-pay.—Second Assistant Engineer W. B. Bayley to. the Saugus as the relief of Sccond A-.istant J. H.

Allibore de- tached i.om Kans:s and to the United States; M.¢sbipman Frark C. Birney detached from Franklin and placed on sick leave. ConsortpaTion OF Revexve Drstricts.— The principal reform now under consideration by the President, is the consojidation of the ternal revenue districts throughout the coun- wry, but especially in Jarge cities, with a view of fiminisbing the nuuber of officers ard decreas. ng the cost of collecting the revenue. This pro “eeding is authorized by the amended [rternal Kevenue law of July last, and will be carried nto practice within the next two months. It is estimated that the number of disiricts can prop- orly be reduced to two-thirds the present num- ver. This will throw out a many officers, ind the President declines to Ail! any vacancies row existing, in order to lessen the ntmber to be Lereafter removed. pa Se ae Vincixta News.—The Fredericksburg News says: “Mr. Hutton has spent feveral days in arveying the Rappahannock river. He bat au appropriation will be made next wi inter, and that ten feet ot water at low tide may be ecured at our wharves.”’ - The Lexington Gazette says:—“There was a race last week on the Warm Spring mountain vetween Governor Letcher and a panther, in which it is said, the Governor made the b ime of the season Jor a short a ke At ie evere winter, 80 Says the ‘oldest indicative of inhabitant ‘eal, which Jooks like eannel coal, has been found on Mr. Powhatan Moncure's farm in Stafford county, only tour feet below the sur- ace. ‘Tbe valuable property in Montgomery co: ty, known as the Yellow Sulphur Springs, nm Saturday last to Mr. Lauriston Wade of that county, for 000.

A query by Col. Audenreid, “if he would see the representative of Taz Star,” met with ‘Certainly, I will,” and the General was found quietly tarning a partaga into smoke. After the customary salatation. our reporter gaid: “Ah! General sent in your report yet?” General S—“Why, yes, it’s gone in to the Secretary.” Reporter.— But have you some of the figures.’’ General S.— Well, you're welcome to this statement,” (handing over a tabular statement showing the present strength of the army to be 34,70 officers and enlisted men.) “Scattered everywhere, probably” “Oh, yes; Eastward, Westward; everywhere.” “But, General, how does this reduction affect things?” “Well, the number ot commissioned officers must be reduced from 2,43 to 2.2/7, and tae enlisted men to 30,000 by January next. accord- ing to the act of Congress.”’ “Well, General, what's your opinion in regard to this reduction?” “Ob, just simply this. It is an act of Con- gress, and has to be carried out. The army re- duces itself gradually in that way.’ ‘And then you have no trouble at all aboat None atall. Congress has fixed the thing.” “Doe you think this mode of reduction preja- Gicial to discipline or the organization of the army “Now, I can’t answer that. But one thing I do know, that is that we are losing some of ou; best men by it.”’ “How, General “Why the redu ie made in this way. As far as the file goes that’s easy enough of course by putting the brakes on the recruit- ing business, but with the rankits different. A lookout is kept and where we find an officer laggard or indifferent to the daties of his profes- sion, he is at once ordered before an an examin- v's board, and if he goes through he sticks, but if he don’t you krow what comes then.” “Why, indeed, General What 2”? “Why he goes out, and an officer of the large number yet unassigned is pat in his place.” ‘Large nvmber unassigned General ?” “Let me see (looking over some figares,) about 300.29 “But you don’t losse your best men on ac. count of not passing examination.” “Oh! no; not at all, but you see how it is. Good men, as we have plenty of, desire to have come- thing yermanent. A berth in the army has always been supposed to be that, but it is com- pletely metamorphesed now. Some officers don’t know if they are safe and can’t tell where this thing will siop. Theysee thisone go, and then that one, and they tire of the uncer ainty and resign.” 1nd that’s why they leave. No man is willing to give the best years of his life to the profession and the firs: thing he krows find himself out of it, or at best feel uneasy ali the time.” “Then General by the act of Congress it gradual simmering down of the rank and ff) “Exactly; that’s what it is, asimmeringdown. You struck it that time.” “Have you made any recommendations iv your report bearing on this subject, or expr-s- sion of your views in th‘s particalar ?”” “ None whatever. My report is veryshort. It is merely a statement of affairs as they are.” “No suggestions at all, General? You know the public wou'd be more pleased to eee what recommexdat.ons or suggestions you might make as to army matters than to read any othe. information on the subjcct.”’ “I had none to make. Everything is wo-k- ing well, no matter what may be the views « individuals. What Congre:s bas said iz being done, and done so well that very litile work is entailed on us.” “ Your report, then, is a statement of affairs asthey are without suggestions ?” “Just so. The longest part of st is tbe de- tailed table of the surength of the army, vf which you there have the aggregate; and that’s «bout all the public want to kuow.” FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

The Buildings, Machinery, Furnaces, Pois, & Description of the Materials Used and the Processes of Manufacture. Having Occasion yesterday to visit the norib- estern portion of the city, our reporter dropped | inte the new glass manufactory of Jobn Purdy, Eeq., sitvated on N and 6th streets. 1 will be remembered that these works were destroyed by fire on the 1th of April last. throwing out of employment a large number of men, and in- volving a loss of over €2),..9 to the vetor. ‘The old structure was of wood, and nothing was left of it after the fire but the chimney the Ton portion of the machinery. rendered worth - less by the heat. Not t,0us loss, the proprietor ( Boon set about clearing away the rubbish for the erectiov fire-proof building. which bi been fuisbed, avd rew wachinery set up t larger ecale than in the oki stracture, and the works are now in successtul operation. BUILDINGS. ‘The main building ts 7! feet br e2 feet wide, with a wing 3 feet long by 4 feet wide. There & siso a biacksmith and ine room, 23 feet square. The ie built of brick, and covered with a ized iron roo’, and all the grounds are losed by a high doard fence. Every precaution has been taken to guard against another fire. INTERIOR ARRANGEMENTS. The lear, or long furnace used for Snishing glassware, ts 45 teet » The northwest par’ of the back building is used for the ung room, where all the wares manufactured ar and cutting the }, and also turns the fan which supplies the Sraught for the furnace and “glory holes.” The pot-room, where the crucibles are made, is ip the basement of the L of the structure. HOW GLASS WARE IS MADE. The materials for the manufactare ss pamely:—Soda ash, lime, sand, red and ints | oropeetl 4 it takes about 18 in the proper ons a melt ing it around in bis Land, he draws it out with a kpob of red-hot glass ‘adbering to the end, which he takes to an iron table and rolis anti of a uniform thickness, which at the same time elongates the mass, and then blowing in at the other end of the tube, a crystal bul is pro- duced of the desired size, and before It is cool it is formed into a lamp chimney, globe, or tum bier, just as desired. Atthe present time notuing is manufactured here but chimueys, the Sw not being iu readiness tor mo ding. it takes POUR MEN TO MAKE A LAMP CHIMNEY, pamely:—A workman to gather the gias« on the end of the tube and ag od it by rolling it, when it i: barded to the “ blower.” who blows it to the proper size and passes it to the ““shear- er,” who shapes it by opening the end of the bubble and expanding it by means of his shears. He then cuts it off where it connects with the tube. It is then taken up by an instrament in the bands of another workman and held in the ial hole” until it is heated red-hot, and ts ards smoothed off on the sharp edges around the top. This is called “ Jearing,” and is the finishing process. There are two of these tearing furnaces for finishing blown glass, each of which contains six “ glory holes.” The lear- ing Surpace for the moulded glass is not 1m use yet, that branch of the work not having been commenced. The large chimney stack con- tains six of the pots for melting the glass, only three of which are used at presen’, but in a sbort time they will al! be at work. SOMETHING ABOUT TRE MATERIALS USED The sand used for these works is broagtt rem the lower Potomac, and is found to be o! a purer quality than that heretofore used, it con- taining more silica and less iron, thus making a very white glass. [ron in the sand gives agreenish hue, which is not always desirable. Cobalt is ured in giving a blueish color to glass bottles, and other chemicals for various other colors. Indigo is sometimes used, but the heat soon burns it all out of the pots, but cobalt i proof against heat. There is much to interest the spectator in the operation of the glass manu- — and when the Tey cutting and eri process begins and the large lea paneer tg which will be a few woeks, (ue process will be much more interesting. TORIANS DID ALL THE WORK.
