The Vest Assembly Surprised hy a Violent Storm in the Afternoon, Special Ditpolefi to The Tribunt. Mr. Vbrnon, 111., Aug. 14.—Tee railroad trains of last night and to-day brought im mense crowds ot visitors to this city to enjoy the soldiers* reunion. Ml. Vernon never en tertained so many distinguished soldiers or civilians as upon this occasion. Gen. Sherman arrived by special train from St Louis at noon, and met with a grand reception. A mild sun and cloudless sky ushered In tho day, and all the signs betokened uninterrupted enjoymeat At 10 a. m. the military companies from Belle ville, Shawneetown, McLcansboru. Fairfield, Ccntroila, .Mt. Vernon, and other places, with tho Governor and staff, and dis tinguished soldiers and civilians la car riages, followed by a long procession, on foot and horseback, formed In lino and marched to the music of numerous hands through the principal streets to Casey Grove. Here a vast multitude had assembled. The exercises nf the day began on tho grand stand. The sea of upturned faces that filled the brood expanse was a study for a painter. Co). Casey led off with a flttcen-mlnutc address ot welcome on behalf of tho city and county. Qov. Culiom was then Introduced and entertained tho crowd for ncarlyono hour with a well-wrlttcu speech, eulogizing the soldiers, and creating among that class o! his hearers tho liveliest enthusiasm. This day. a* I understand It, has been intended os a reunion of cjtitana of Illinois who have been participant! In the struggles In which the Mato and nation have been engaged. Out I see around me many citizens of other Htates. as well as our own, who were Identified with these struggles, and whoso fittno is now coextensive with tho continent, —even with civilization itself. They were partici pants in the sitae straggle in which you boro so honorable a part, for, when freedom aud Union are at stake. Stale lines dwindle Into insignifi cance, arid we become all ono people. The terms of your call is a summons to all who have ever borne arms In defense of the rights of the people of Illinois and of the nation, and this wmud Include tho soldiers of every wsr since the foundation of the Republic, fur the occupation of Illinois soil by American citizens antes hack to within two years of iho Declaration ot independence. Out, lellowcitlzens, there Is one class of Amer ican soldiers who are not represented here to-day except In the persons of descendants of honored ana patriotic sires,—the soldiers of the Revelation. Of another class a few scattered and honored rem nants still remain among us, and I am glad to see u few representatives here to*dsy. 1 mean tho soldlcrsof the war of 1812. They. 100. ore pass ing away, out the memory of the daeds widen they performed in resisting the encroach ments of an arrogant foreign power will norer pass away, They are a part of history, and have left their stamp Indelibly Impressed upon the memory and in the gratitude of the nation. In larger numbers and In more vigorous presence wo UK-el face to faco with those who pzrilcipatud in the Winnebago campaign ot IH'iT. ami In 1118 OLACKIIAWK OAMPAIO* of 1801-'S. lint death has thinned your ranks dor* too tlic“Q latter years. Where are Duncan and Whitesides, Hcyuolds, Mills, UoWltt, Fry. Thomas, Casey, Anderson, lireese, Ford, and others? Ail gone to that "undiscovered country from whoso bourne no traveler returns." There, too, was that grand figure now grown to bo the grandest In modern butory, who with cvrr-yonth lui spirit shared to the ntmust the dangers, excite* tnents, and amusements of the frontier camp,—tho genial friend, the popular and high-minded clti* zen, the, persitaelve and convincing orator, tho earnest rind Incorruptible . statesman, the man who .took upon bis shoulders the burdens of a nation’ In the most perilous period of Its history,— tho martyred President, Abraham Lincoln, ile was then, as aver alter* wards, a prominent though unassuming figure In the events of his time, hearing his full share, as thousands of others did. In the protection of the settlers of the Northwest from savage violence. As we look over thie bright galaxy of naraaa, one I* surprised at tbs namoer of men afterwards dls* llngulshed In public Ufa then Included among the population of the Infant State. If we Include (Jon. Taylor, then on duty In tho Northwest as com* mnnder of the United Slates troops, there came from the participants In that campaign no loss than two Presidents, three Governors, two or three Lieutenant-Governors, Judges of the Supremo Court, liepreseniattvos In Congress and (be Legis latures, besides hundreds of Inferior ofllcers, The compeers of such mania civil life wort to he found in (ne Persons of Daniel P. Cook, Ellas K. Kane, John McLean. (Joy. Pond. Samuel Lock* wood, and Judge Stephen T, Logan, all names In timately identified vmb the history of tho State and nation. Coming down to (be history of TUB AMBIIIOAH WAR, we bcsln to stand on more familiar ground, and a number of distinguished forms ayala rise up snd cluster around us. First among tho number we see tho grand and soldler-llko form of John J. Hardin as ha dashes down to death, but maxes sure of victory for the American arms at Uncna VUta. We see tuo gallant and honored statesman illssoll, (he veueruus, patriotic Irish soldier. Shields, tho hero of two wars, and the survivor of wounds that would have been the death of four ordinary mou: tbe brave and accomplished soldier, the brilliant orslor. Senator, snd Colonel, B. L). Haksr, ■aciiflced at Hall's bluff In tbe late Wars besides n host of others, living and dead, that we mluht name. Then there comes a lung list of younger but equally gultant spirits, who, though occupying less prominent positions, served to form n link between the bcruie days of (ho .Mexican War and that bitter struggle still fresh la the minds of all. as «re dally see tbe scarcely yet sunken mounds of its victims scattered from one end of the laud to the other.—tbe War of the He hellion. In looking over toe list of the prominent actors In that smuggle, one la surprised to see now many rccehed their early training In the Mexican War, and nnll*t;sbould|oegin without the name, next to the martyred savior of the Kepuolle. the captor of VtcxsDurg, (he leader of that grand succession of victories which resulted m the fall of Klcbmond snd the surrender of Least Appomatox t'ourt-Iluuso, (be greatest Captain ot tuo age, Ulysios b.

Then follow such names os i.ogsn, Oglesby, Mor gan, Prentiss, Morrison, llliks, Lawler, Pugh, True, and sroros of others all familiar to you. who received their first li-ssonsin the art of war at Uuene Vista, Cerro (fordo, (Jheruou*co, or other Mexican debit. Associated with them In (he late War was another notes* patriotic class,— the early sucriflced Wallace; the soldier of two lends, Turchlu; (he liberty-loving and flery Ilecker; cite isdned and gifted Haynle; the generous, brave, and patriotic Mulligan; besides (lens. Palmer, Pumo, lllnaker, Jlurlbul, McC'lcrnand, Cook. Boss. and Imndtedi more, nil of whoso names would be as familiar In your homes as household words. I cannot forget to mention that grand old Roman, the hero of four-score years, with locks blossoming for another and better world, Uuv. John Wood, of (juiocy, who, us Quartorauuter-Clenvral of the Htste, equipped so many of your roeiinents and sull found time to mate occasional forays, at tbe bead of baslilv-unrunUed troops, Into the ene my's country. t\ hat he did ne dm for tho cause, and fur no mere love of glory or inspiration of am bition. The faces of many of these we are all rejoiced to see here to-day. lue history of ILLINOIS AND ITS liW.WJO SOLDIIH* Is so interwoven with that of oil the great battles of tho War that you esu hardly put yonr Anger upon iho name of a single Important engouuuiuoi occurring west of the Alleghenies In wblcu lilmols soldiers aid not bear a prominent, and in many In stances a leading, part.

LABOR AND CAPITAL. The Union of Philadelphia Iron ami Rtcel Manufacturers About to Again Cut Dqwu ' Wage#—The Chinese. Special Dltpa'lih tt> Tht Ttibunt, Philadelphia, Aug. 14.—There Is general uneasiness among the tradea In this dty and vicinity, which is ascribed in part to the National party movements and Communistic and partly to the ciTorts of employers to effect a reduction of wages. The proprietors of the several up-town Iron and steel rolling-mills, in cluding Hughes* Patterson, Stephen Robbins * Son, James Rowland * Co., the Philadelphia Iron * Steel Company, Marshall Brothers * Co., and the Fair Hill Iron Works, employing about t,500 men, will convene to-morrow to consider the matter of a reduction. They at tempted the same thing only a month ogo, and the men went on - a strike. The proprietors had to yield, because the Philadel phia Iron * Steel Company bod several largo contracts to All, and could not afford to strike. The other Arms retired from their position un til there could be entire unanimity among themselves. That time hts now arrived,for the owners have now agreed upon a combination so that if one will stop work the others will fol low. The leading members of the Arms say that there will bo no opposition In the meeting to-day among themselves to the general reduc tion of the tvsges of their men. Whether the new schedule of their wages will be promulgated to-day or on the Ist of September will bo decided at to-day’* meeting. Tho schedule of reduction has, how ever, been agreed upon as follows: Thu “pud dlcra" will got $3.00 Instead of $1.23 a ton; the “rollers" will be reduced from 40% to Blccnts; tho “rougher*" from 10% to la cents; the “catchers" from 10% to i 4% cunts; and tho remainder In tho some ratio. Those employed on lime will bo cut down 10 per vent. All the men excepting tbu puddlers were twice reduced 10 percent this year. The mill-owners claim that the reduction Is necessary In order Co com ?eto with similar works outside of Philadelphia, ho men employed In the mills will not bcllovo this. dhuley & Rommel, wholesale ihoo manu facturer*, bare probably the largest bouts of the kind In too city, employing nearly 800 hands. Four weeks ago they reduced the wages of their men to somo extent, and subsequently Introduced a new foreman. This evening the shoemakers (root this establishment held an impromptu meeting to consider what they esteemed an undue re duction of wages, aa well as the arbitrary course of their now foreman. The meeting broke up In a abort time, with the understanding that the workmen would assemble to-morrow and appoint a committee to wait upon the firm and demand a modification of the new schedule of wages and of the new rule which abolishes cash work. Too reduction concerning which the men complain amounts, as explained by a lastcr. to some 15 per cent on the average, being a reduction of half a cent on lasting call shoes and bait a cent on kid fox. Tho men are hopeful of forcing the employers Into yielding, as this Is understood to bo tho busy season of the year. The house, when working on lull tlidc, can turn out autue B.UUJ pairs of ahocs ft day. Saw Fbimcisco, Cal., Aug. 11.— The Chinese Six Companies pronounce the dispatches from Chicago in reference to the employment of Chinese shoemakers as untrue In every particu lar. They declare they never, as yet, contracted or let the labor of one of Uielr countrymen, ueithcr have they the power or the dfsire to do *u.
