THE FIREMAN'S PARADE!.
Yoatorilay dawned fair and bright, and a Lan
early hour tho fancy uniform?? of tho firemen
might ho soon flitting in all directions. The diffor
out machinoH wore poli.hod until they ehono liko
burnished gold, mid when crowned with the
WTcatha bestowed by fair .banda thoy presented an
appearance that fully Justified the enthusiastic
pride of the boya.
At elovon o'clock tho diffcront companies met on
tho Citadel Groon, ond wore marshalled by tho
Chief and his Assistants in tho following order :
1st, Tho Chief, ABBiBtanta and Superintendent;
next, the Hook and Ladder Company; the Eagle.
Vigilant, CharLo?ton, Morion, German, Palmotto,
Hopo andStonowall Firo Engine Companioa. Thoso
hand cnginea had volunteered to act aa an oacort
to tho steamers, and were arranged according to
tho dato of thoir roapootivo chartora. Tho steam
cra wcro governod by tho samo rules, and filed
into Uno by seniority,.tho Pioneor loading off, fol
lowed by the Pheonix, ?Stna, Washington, and
Young Amorica. Tho procession marched from
tho weat sido of tho Green, down King btreet to
Goorgo, through Gcorgo to Mooting, down that
Btreet to Broad, whero they counter-marobed. the
steamers tailing positions according lo tho order
prescribo-.l for playing off.
Along tho whole route a large crowd had gather
ed, many of thom marching down with the pro
cession, whilo tho windows w^ro crowded with
tho beauty of tho city, uSBcmblod to do the firemen
honor. -The Court HOUBC, City Hall, Gnard Houso
and South Carolina Hall, aa well as tho private
houses in Mooting strcot, bolow Broad, woro ono
mua? of human beings;-the ladies of courao pre
dominating. Ev*ry arrangoment was mado by
the anthon i ioa lo preserve order and decorum,
mid several amnsing Bconos occurrod when tho po
lico would sally after tho refractory boya who
would not slay behind tho rope.
A platform had boon laid in Mooting street, a
short distanco below Broad, for tho streams to bc
played on. This was covered with a coating of saw
dust, which waa renewed as often as it washed
away. Tho spaco between tho ropes was kout cloar
of citizens, and rcBcrved exclusively for the fire
men mid judges. A strong police force, under the
chargo of Lieut. MiNOTr, enforced the regula
tions.
According to the plan adopted, tho order of
playing off was determined by drawing, and tho
Wallington took tho precedonco. This engine
mt decorated by a huudsomo wreath around her
aii chamber, and had a bluo ponnant flying, in
scribed with the words, "Our Johnny," in gilt
lottora. Thohoao reol had also a very tasty wreath.
It waa not long before steam was raised, and
everything being prepared the Waehingtonianu
bteppod to tho front, and in a short timo throw a
stream to the diatanco of 160 feet. Just at thiu
time, when tho ongino was under full play, the
nir chamber burst, which complotely disabled her,
and she was obligod to rotiro from tho field,
subdnod by circumstances that could not be con
trolled.
Sho was followed by the Young America, This
cngino is difforontly constructed from the others,
being mado by H.UILEY, of New York, on the rota
ry prinoiple. She was also decorated by wreaths
and other ornamente. Groat interest was mani
fested by the firnmon at this juncture, and when
the Young America succocdod in throwing a Stream
of 11)3 foot 9 inchos, the enthusiasm passed all
bounds, and cheer after clionr rent the air.
Tho Phoenix, long a favorite company, wa.i the
next in ordor, and as she whcoled into Uno she
elicited the admiration of all hor friends. Hor
! air chanibor was decorated by a neat wroath, and
from her boiler tho bluo flag, with tho letters "Little
Frank," was flying. Tho hoao rcol was ornamented
by two vory beautiful wreaths, pr.*3onted to the
company by some fair admirers of tho Phoenix.
Tho Pheonix being, liko tho Young. America, of o
different make from tho others (the JEFTOBDS pat
torn), hor playing was closely scanned, and consid
erable) satiH?actUm was expressed when the
?troani roachod 189 feot 8 inches.
Tho gallant JEina then led off; her surroundings
wero in perfect koeping with hor roputation, and
her flag, bearing the name of hor ProBidont (Little
Nod), floated proudly in tho brooae. The ZEtne
boys wont to work with a will, and succocdod in
distancing tho Pheonix by a few inchos-throwing
0 water to tho distauco of 191 feet 3 ?nobes.
*. Laat, but by no moana loast, tho Pioneer ap
peared on tho scene, and showed, by tho orna
menta that woro lavishly covering hor, what the
0 membora thought of their not. Owing to som?
? unfor'oeoon occurrence, tho ?onoer did not do hor
solf justico, Dnly sonding 160 feet 9 inchos, when
on provioua occasions, sho had far oxcoodod 201
feet.
Tho Pioneer being tho last to porform, tho plat
0 form waa cleared of all except tho Board of Fire
" masters, tho Chiof, Assistants and Superintendent
and tho presentation took plnco. Tho prize wai
the same that was contended tor in last April, bu
it was refused thoa on account of tbo oxpoctoc
arrival of othor steam engines. Tho Mayor, ii
presenting the cup, said : "As one of'tho city an
thor i ties delegated to inako tho presentation, hi
was proud of tho sneoosa of tho steam onginoe
io The excitement produced by thoso oontosts onl;
?Jj tended to incrcaso tho proflcionoy of the Depart
mont, and should prompt thora to renewed efforti
in the 6amo canso. He considered it a complimen
that tho Young America, one of tho youngest com
p?nica, should havo taken tbo premium, nnd wai
happy to stato that thoy had deserved it. Ile pre
KJ Ronted tho onp as a tokon of the estcoin in whicl
to
IO
ed that it would stirauhto them to zoal in tin
ij causo."
)r Mr. R. S. DURYEA, President of tho Eagle, re
coivod the enp from tho Mayor, and ropliod for th
X) Young Amorica : "As a roprosontativo of tho old
* cat onfiine company in Charleston, ho was prom
IO to rocoiyo tho gift and tondor it to tho oflioorH c
g tho youngo&t, for ho know that in doing so it w_ni
?o bo*pi'08i?_tl by n0 unworthy lips."
? Mr. JHO. F. BMT-OH, Vico-Prcsidont of th
Young Amorica, responded, thanking Mr. Donn?.
for his gonorons allusion to his company, and (?al
to it was thoir proudost boast to act up to their moi

OCU WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE.
. WASHINGTON, Novembor 11.
Tbo Administration has resolved on an aotivo
foreign policy, the partial results of which we have
seen iu tho doparture of Gen. SHERSIAN and Col.
CAMPBELL for Mexico. The annual message will
probably announce that the Government has ex
hibited considerable vigor io renewing ita de
mands on the Engiah Government for a settlement
of the Alabama, claims. A proposition, which lins
boon made for the second timo by tho British au
thorities, to refer theso claims to a mixed com
mission for arbitration, has boen promptly declined
by tho Frc.iidont and Mr. SEWAED, and a roply to
the refusal is Impatiently awaited from Lord STAN
LET. Boforo the controversy is over, sharp words
will undoubtedly bo exchanged, and some of tho
friends of tho Administration go so far as to de
clare that we may soo something grow out of it
more formidable than mere words. A vigorous
course in our foroigu relations on tho part of the
Executive will act as a '"counter irritant" to tho
public pressuro against it on its home policy.
Tho two dofeatod Rndical Congressmen in Bal
timore have been in town within a ^ew days, and
openly declare that, though defeated at the polls,
they will assurodly obtain their Boats iu tho
Fortieth Congress through a contest, trusting to
the immense party majority thore to give them
thoir old places. Tho ground of thou* contest is
of course apparent to every one. They will main
tain that tho majority votos cast for thoir op
ponents came from disloyal persons and should
not havo been counted-but in that view of tho
caBO thoy will havo tho hard fact to upset, that
oj-ery one of thoso votes waB from a registered
voter, and was received by a Board of Election
Judges and Inspectors, .romposed wholly of Radi
cals, who wero at least satisfied of the loyalty and
the consequent legabty of the said votes. It is
doubtful if even the strong partisan majority in
tho noxt Congress will commit such an act of in
justice.
Somo of the Northern journals are consoling
tho country with the idea that the Radical element
is content with the re3nlt of tho elections against
tho Administration, and Wita neither attempt to
iiupcaoh the President nor pass laws restricting
his patronage. Wo have roaeon bore to think
otherwise. The Radien! membors who are now
dropping in upon us represent an entirely diffor
ont tone. They toll us laws will bo passed re
stricting the Executive patronage, and that provi
sion will be made for an oarly session of the For
tieth Congrosa. As an instance of tho firat threat,
it is already well authenticated that on the first
week-?/ the session a bill will bo put through both
Houses making tho office of tho Superintendent of
Publie Printing on cloctive one by Congress. This
will have the effect of immediately displacing from
ofi'tco CoBNELros WENDELL, the present incum
bent, and, by the way, an old public functionary,
and putting in his p'ooo JNO. D. DEITIEEB, the
Secretary of tho Radical Executive National Com
mitteo, and tho formor occupant of the position.
A bill will also be passed after the holidays fixing
an oarly day for the mooting of the Fortieth Con
groBB, BO as to doprivo tho Prosident of the long
recess from March 4 to Docombor 1,1867, in which
he would bo untrammelled by the Sonato in making
removals. Ao early a day as March 6th ia named
for the mooting of tho Fortieth CongroBB.
As regards tho impcachmont of the Preaidont if
is quita certain that a movement of somo kind will
bo made in that direction-probably by tho ap
pointment of a committoo to inquire into chargea,
oto. It docs not, however, appear that any serious
attempt will bo poraiated in. Tho M. C's general
ly hold too many fivo-twonties and eovon-thirtioE
to legislate for thoir rapid depreciation. Messrs,
BINGHAM and BOUTWELL win, of oourso, mako aome
noiso over tho impeachment, to partly sustain thou
threats mado during tho canvass.
Thoro is something of a disposition on both eidei
of tho houao to abuso Soorotary MOCOLLOOH, bul
ho ia quietly minding his own affairs, and pro
Hcnting now and thon a highly favorable exhibit o'.
tho condition of our national finances. During the
last six months he has reduced tho publio debt
two hundred and ten raillions of dollar a. If Con
grosa is not too partisan to co-oporato with the
Secretary in giving our national finance.') a hoalthj
condition, wo may look for important improve
monts durlug tho noxt six months. -

Thui Synod or Virginia.
A. correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch.
writing from Norfolk, gives the following interest
ing facts connected with the history of the Synod
of Virginia, which wa? in session in Hint eily last
week :
Tho Synod of Virginia consists of about 175 min
isters and about 200 churches. In tho your 1_88
tho Synod of New York and Phihidolphin, which
wau thon tho roprobontativo body of rrosbyterinns
in the whole of ibis country, resolved that it would
bu most conducive to the interests of roliuion to
divido itself into four Synods, subordinate to a
General ABSombly, to bo constituted out of the
whole. Thoso four Synods woro tho Synods of
New York and Now Jersey, tho Synod of Philadel
phia, the Synod of Virginia, and the Synod of the
Carolinas.
This arrangement extended tho bounds of the
Synod of Virginia into Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Kentucky, and rendered another division neces
sary in 1802, at which time tho Synods of Pittsburg
nntt Kontuoky wore ordorod to bo formed out or tho
Synod of-Virginia, loaring tho last named body to
comprohond only the territory indicated by its
name.
Tho Synod of Virginia thus formed consisted of
tho throb ProsbytorioB.of Hanover, Lexington and
Winchester. Tho first meeting was appointed to
bo hold in Lexington in ?Scptombor, 1802, to bo
openodwith a sormon by Rov. Dr. James Waddell,
'.tho blind pro .ebor."
It is interesting to notico the fact that thirty
fivo years afterwards tho acts of the Gonoral As
sembly of 1837 which caused the division of Pres
byterians into Old School and New School were
Hiibmitted to tho Synod of Virginia in a meeting at
the samo placo, Loxington, and lhere the division
of tho Church in Virginia virtually took plncc.
And yet anothor interesting fact is, that twenty
seven years ai'torwards, in 18'_1, tho reunion of
Presbyterians in Virginia was consummated at tbo
same place. By this act tho two Synods of Vir
ginia, which had oxisted since, wcro' blended info
one again, and havo since acted harmoniously to
gether.
The Presbyteries which constitute the Bynmi of
Virginia aro eight in number, and ure all* repre
sented in the meeting which commenced to-night,
viz: Tho Presbyteries of Groonbrior, Loxington,
Winchester, Montgomery, West Hanover, East
Hanover, Roanoko und Potomac. Evory ordained
minister is a member of tho Synod whether ho has
n chargo or not, and evory church is entitled to lay
representation of ono elder.
