Movements or Mz. Lincotn.—The rush for the Star on Saturday, to get at the facts of the case whether Mr. Lincoln was really in town or not, was —— en orci’ boy Bewspaper eales jut very many our repul Mean friends, who bad set their bearts upon Meeting the President elect at the cars at 4 p.m , and nowhere else, utterly refused, we regret to my, to credit the report of bis unexpected arrrival, despite our very explicit and circumstantial ac- count of that affair. No, indeed! They weren’t to be sold, and Committeeman Schreiner and otbers of the Republican Association de! proclaimed their purpose to be at the cars in the afternoon to receive Mr. Lincoln according to theirins'ructions. Hadn’t Mr. Lew. Clepbane and the Wide Awake delegation gone on in the morn- ing train to Baltimere to meet Uncle Abe? Of course they a it was all right. The storv that Lincoln was already here was a dodge to keep the republicans away from the cars when he did ertive. Thatewould’nt work. No, sir-ee! Meantime, Messrs. Eckloff, Hodgson, and T. B. Brown, of the Republican Association, might have been seen mounted neon the top of a big furniture wagon wending its way slowly down Indiana avenue, said wagon being further laden with no end of fiags, banners, and other decora- tions wherewith to ornament the “Wigwam” for the eye of the President elect on bis way from the cars. They drove slowly, we say, as if dubitating whether to drive at all, ‘halting between two opinions,” whether Abe was here or there, and ‘whether to decorate or no. A halt was made and a delegation sent to the railroad station to get “‘the facts of the case.” There their souls were glad- dened by the positive assurance from Gil that the President elect bad not arrived, and to the contrary they were even then making the neces- sary arran; 1s for the extra train to bring him on from Baltimore. So the party concluded it was safe tounloed their wagon and bang out their ‘vanncrs. AT THE STATION. On Saturday afternoon there was a lively scene in and about the railroad depot. It having been announced that Mr. Lincola would arrive by a special train at 4 o’clock p. m., and the report of bis arrival by the morning train not being univer- snily credited, at an early hour squads of the incredulous were seen performing wonderful feats of jocomotion through the rain towards the depot, lL anxious to get a “sight” at Mr. Lincoln. The necutters’ sheds were even invested by a regt- ment of “‘irrepressibie femaies;” disconsolate N. V.’s paced up and down the platform; truant urchins, with fearful visions of the wrath to come, da tragedy in which they, with indignant *-parlents,”” would play conspicuous parts, boldly declared that ‘they'd see Linctam anyhow;”’ while here and there sauntered a bungry office- seeker, whose wistful glances at the cake-stand bore unmistakeable evidence of a lean puri well 28 of an em “yearning apparati Meonwhile four oeeek arrived on Les , and no special train made its apy ince. Presently the ‘Stars’? came out one by one, and as the minds of the unbelieving became illumined, there was a general expression of countenance as though somebody had been sold; but as the rain was pouring down in torrents, there was no escape, and the crowd indulged in one or two jokes, a little whistling, and considerable swearing. As the bour for the regular five-o’clock train ap- proached. the anxiety was again manifested by “serouging,” on the part of those who were in the rear of the crowd, and the arrival of Mr. Seward and Mr. Washburn of [il , added to the excitement. The train having entered the depot, four carriages were driven up to the rear car, from which Mr. Seward soon emerged with Mrs Lin- colp, who, with “‘Bob” and Eddie and Willie Lincoln, nurse, servant, &c , became at once the -— = somos cpscen ee stares. A few policemen oj a way for the party, who were immediately passed from the car Lay Apion riages and =e ily driven off, while the crowd lunged after through rain and mud, as if deter- ‘ined to escort a Presidential party anyhow. > AT WILLARD’s. No until the arrival of the afternoon train from * Baltimore was there much of a rush to Willard’s, and then the halls, parlors, and es of that immense — were crowded ina trice. Con- Spicuous among the deeply interested ones during the afternoon was the form of the man who voted ‘for Abe Lincoln in Fairfax county, Va , and was ‘afterwards taken to 8 printing office by his polit- ieal opponents, and daubed all over with print- er’s iok, and then rolled in a feather bed. He Seemed in fine spirits, and not particularly anx- Jons to force bimself upon the notice of Mr. Lin- coln at present; doubtless depending on his more superior claims to notice when he should think to urge them. Sort se Coys age Mr. piaeee head. udge Douglas, about 2 m ; and afterwards eateon who <= time ———— _— bim. ‘was warmly greeted by President elect, -% ex; gt the General his thanks for tbe “gimoy marks of attention he had shown him, Fy fally in detailing an escort from his home the capital Gen.

Among the callers upon Mr. Lincoln were the venerable Frank Blair and his son, Montgomery Blair. Atalittle before half-past five o'clock p m., Fourteenth-street entrance to Willards’ wrs surrounded by quite a crowd of curious ple, despite the heavy rain then falling, anxious to eb a first glimpse of the President's lady and : Deo when they should arrive.

At 11} o’clock this morning several gentlemen with whom Mr. Lincoln had appointments called on him. and during the next hour he remained invisible to all comers saye such as had special engagements with him. Afterwards, be received visitors again till 2 p. m. Among those who called on him to-day were ‘Mr. Seward, Gen. Cass and ladies, Hon Preston King, Senator Doolittle, Vice President Breckin- ridge, Gov. Powell of Kentucky, Commodore ¥ others of note. "ietwont 12and 1 o’clock President Buchanan called upon Mr Lincoln, and remained some fif- teen minutes. A th of ladies called during the mornii y respects to Mrs. Lincoln; who quite a levee up to2 p. m. The dispatch to the Baltimore papers that Mr. Lincoln was to give a public reception between 12 and 1 to-day, caused many persons to visit the hotel, who were of course disappointed, as no such reception came off. The projected sqrenade to Mr. Lincoln, pre- vented on Saturday night by the rain, has, we bo been indefinitely y at his sugges- on. PRETTY Goop Mayor Berret was applied to this morning for a copy of the speech he would have made to Mr. Lincoln at the cars on Saturday afternoon if the reception ceremonies had not been so un-ceremo- baton | ik gp in the bud. Mayor B. laugbingly ied that he would comply with the request with pleasure if Mr. Richard Wallach would con- sent to furnish his draught of the route-pro- ramime Mr. Lincoln would have followed, jose same Ceremonies come off! Preszxtation of Eraviets.—Among the many incidents connected with the celebration of Washington’s birthday, we noticed a very in- teresting one in front of the Columbian Armory. The “Washington Rifles” (formerly ‘“ German Yeagers’’) were drawn up and went through their drill exercise in a thoroughly soldierly manner. After whicb, Lient. Colonel Schwarzman, their former captain, presented Capt. Balbach, who is now in command. witha splendid puir of epaulets on beba!f of the company. In a capital speech he expressed high for bis successor as a man, as well as a reliant soldier and scientific military offer. Capt. Balbach, in reply, thanked him, saying that he would try to show himself worthy of the honor bestowed upon him. Mr Balbach is the senior captain of bis batalion, and has command of it assuch. He has been an army officer in Germany, his ve land, and is exiled for participation of himself and men in the revolutiona’ ‘ar for republican institutions in Baden in 1849. which wes ppressed by an in- vading army of Prussians. His wg company of seventy men re |, besides the industrious mechanic, the solid, quiet, order-loving, tax- paying, business community of the Germa These dfficial ceremontes were conducted in the -common language of our country, which shows that the parties concerned are up to the mark as American citizens by assimilating themselves with us, even whilst cherishing traditions of a beloved old home. Onrxaxs’ Court —The court on Saturday took "p the case continued from the previous sittings of Henry Larker. who was bound by two sets of indentures by different magistrates to different masters, Messrs. Toombs and Roby. Judge Pur- cell set aside the indentures, and bound him to Mr. H. 8. Jobnson, to learn the trade of a snddler. The Judge had discovered that he had been a Wild boy, and advised him to give up his old com- forever, and try to make bimself useful to The boy seemed to be much affected, ars, and told the Judge he would try to do better in future. ‘The will of the late Second Assistant Postmas- ter General, Wm. H Dundas, was proved by Philip R. Fendall, Esq.,and other witnesses, an bis widow qualified as administratrix with the will annexed . ‘The court decided upon the case of Dr. Ritchie, administrator of the estate of S. G. Deeth dec’d., overruling all objections of counsel ag@inst the administration, except one of m!nor {mportance. The court stated that he doubted if he would ever appointanon resident administrator or guard- , because such are beyond the reach of process to enforce the administration. He believed it to be the true spirit of the law, if not the strict letter. This declaration was brought out by a question relative to non-resident guardians, introduced in examining the petition of Jas. Owner, for the guardianship and custody of a small boy. ONG: —At the night session on Saturday night, held by the Peace Conference, the following substitute, offered by Mr Franklin, of Pa, for the report of the committee, was adopted by a large majority : Article I. In all the present ated of the United States, not embraced by t! herokee treaty, north of the parallel of thirty-six degrees and thirty minutes of north latitude, involuntary servitude, except in punishment of crime, is pro- hibited. ‘In all the present territory south of that line, the status of persons held to service or labor, as it now ex’ ball not be changed by law, nor shall the righ jing from said relation be im. paired; but the sume shall be subject to judicia cognizance in the Federal courts, according to the common law. When any Territory, north or south of said line, within such boundary as Congress may prescribe, shall contain a popula- tion equal to that required for a member of Con- ress, it shall, if its form of govenment he repub- fie. be admitted into the Union on an equal footing with the original States, with or without involuntary servitude, as the constitution of such State may provide.
