THE EVENING STAR. | pes Saad a a eo em W. D, WALLACH, Editor and Proprieter. | WASHINGTON CITY: SATURDAY....... .. MARCH 4, 1865. | THE INAUGURATION. | ge | This 4th of March, 1965, opened rather dis- | agreeably, especially to the eyes of those de- signing to take part in the procession, and Who | did not relish having their “fancy fixins’ spo led by drenching rain and mud-batb com. | bined. The night had been drizzling, and this | morning, about 6 o'clock, a heavy gale sprang up from the south, lasting bat for a few min- utes, but doing considerable damage, mproot- ing shade trees, &c. It was followed by brighter skies through the morning, but as the day wore on it became pretty certain that the | manhood of the processionists was to be tried | by @ march of considerable discomfort. | Either Mud or Dust. | Four years ago, on the occasion of the inau- | guration, the weather was dry, and tornadoes of dustswept through the streets. Commis- | sioner Blake then bad 4 large force of men at work on the night preceding the inauguration removing the dust from the avenue between the White House and the Capitol. This year the streets were covered with athick coating of mud, carrying out the saying that Washing- ton alternates from dust to mad or rice versa. The Perils of the Day. The Engineer Corps, it is reported, made a survey and took soundings of the avenue, for | the purpose of determining the practicability of isyipg pontoons trom the Uapitol to the White House, but it was found that the bottom was too soft to hold the anchors of the boats, and the project was abandoned. The police were caretol to confine all to the sidewalks wno | could not swim. At some of the shallow cross- ings,a sceady stream of people were passing throughout the day, some of whom dashed ont into the xyenue in the most reckless manner, | but fortunately no one is believed to have been lost. The City Last Night. The day, yesterday, which had been rather | disagreeable under toet, closed rather threat- | eningly over head with driving mists and biack skies, rendering it an unpleasant jod for new arrivals to pick their way through the muddy streets of a strange city in discouraging quest oflongings. Carpet-bagged and blanket-strap- | ES strangers were bolting in every direction in a dazed bap-hazard sort of way, and a good many of them found their way to the brilliant- | ly lighted and comfortably warmed Capitoi as if with an eye to quartering there for the night, | In‘the course of the evening the torches of the flremem's procession litup the fog of the avenue with & curious sort of silyeryhaze. A somewhat similar atmospheric effect on a grander scale was obseryed over the Uapitol building, the great roof lights over the two houses fn session illuminating the heavens with @ brilliant halo seen for miles away in the country. An inspiring effect was produced by the manner in which the national flag floating over the Uapitol was thus emblazoned, every foid im the glorious ensign being brought ont in radiant relief. Within the Capitol curious crowds vibrated between the two Houses, now interesting them- selves with the bustle, confusion and noisy whirl of the Honse proceedings, and anon ta- king a sedative by listening to the tranquil debate of the Senate upon the question whether the Smithsonian trust tund interest should or | not be paid in gold; and if so, what about the Indian annuities. Mr. Lincoln was at the Capitol during the night attending to official business, as was also most of the Cabinet. Mrs. Lincoln was also there during the evening as a spectator of the busy proceedings. Representatives hi ae the Army. A large number of efficérs from the Army of the Potomac availed themseives of the occasion to visit the city, and added not a little to the military aspect of the ceremonies. Among ! them we1e Major General Webb, chief of Gen- | eral Meade’s staff, Major General lngalls, chiet Quartermaster of tse armies operating against Richmond. General Sharpe, assistant Provost Marshal General of the Army of the Potoma Lieut. Colonel Barstow, of General Mende’s staff; Captains Webster and Robinette, of Gen- eral Grant's stati; and Captain Howell asd Lieutenant French, of General Ingall’s staff; all of whom came up on & special steamer from City Point. The army in the Shenandoah, at Baitimore, and ail the military posts near Washington, were represented more or less by Officers and men. The Crowd. Up to this morning the number of strangers arriving inthe city was o oF op meee t 's ago. when the exc! she eee sess Wi8tguration of President Lin- colm and the anticipation that some foul play might be attempted by secession gangs to pre- vent the President elect from taking his seat, | caused an extraordinary rash tothis city some | days in advance ofthe inauguration. On this | occasion large numbers who proposed to come, in order to avoid the difficulty of getting lodg- ings, deferred coming until the day of the in- Auguration itself,and for their accommoda- Udon extensive arrangements were made by the different railroad companies in the way of Tunning special trains. Numbers from a dis- tance stopped over night in Baltimore, arriy- ing here by the morning trains. The Philadelphia, Wilmington and Balti- more road run special trains here yesterday and to-day, and make return trips north at 6 p.m. and © p. m. to-night, and at 11.15 a. m. and 4.30 p. m. to-morrow. Rumors of the Day. So important a day could net well pass Without its due proportion of rumors, and amongst these was one that “something was going on,” indicating that trouble was antici- ated from some undeveloped quarter. Rumor Baa it that all the roads leading to Washing- ton had been heavily picketed for some days, and the bridges guarded with extra vigilance, asifon the watch for suspicious characters. Also, that the sth Illinois cavalry had been pushed out from Fairfax C. H. on an active scouting expedition. as if in search of some of the same suspicious characters. Also, that an undue proportion of “ornary looking cusses” in grizzled costume were to be seen upon the streets, indicating something portending. But as the day wore on in tranquility Dame Rumor took a back seat and was heard no more. Patroling the Streets. For the purpose of preserving order the mill- tary patrols were doubied, and made more tre- quent rounds of the streets than usual. but notwilbstanding the large number of strangers in the city, good order prevailed, and but few arrests were made by either the military or Police authorities. Pickpeckets and Poughs in Town. As usual upon such occasions, quite a num- ber of pickpockets and roughs made their way to Washingtov, some of whom were tracked nere from Boston, Philadelphia and New York by detectives. The military and other detec- tives watched their movements closely, how- ever, and but few opportunities were afforded ,hem to operate successtully. The City Railread. That there should be no blocking up the streets, and cars being blocked in the proces- sion, the railroad company, when the proce: sion was about to move, caused the travel be- tween 17th street and the Uapitol to be sus- nded until after the return of the procession. be ¢ 0 and from the Navy Yard changed track at the sputh gate of the Capitol and those on the western end at 17th street, while the 7th Street line ran all day, except that during the pSssage of the procession the cars jumped the track borth and south of the avenue. Arrivals. As early as Friday morning, hundreds of strangers began to arrive in the city, and each succeedipg train increased the nomber. Near- ly ajl of the rooms of our leading hotels had been engaged a week in advance by telegraph for parties trom all sections of the country. The hotel proprietors made every effort to ac- commodate those applying for lodgings, but pot altogether successful. At nine o'clock yesterday morning, 650 guests were booked” at Willards’. Besides the usual sleeping ac- commodations of the hotel, the proprietors had cots and mattresses placed in the parlors, pas. sages, some of the ac joining buildings, and, in fact, every available space, all of which was | taken possession of by 11 p. m., and it wat | found becessary to turn away hundreds who applied for lodgings. The National Hotel adopted the same measures as at Willards’ and at an early hour last evening, 700 guests had been provided for. The Metropolitan was densely crowded, and 100 guests were pro- vided with sleeping accommodations outside of the main building. The Avenue, Seaton, Kirkwood, and Washington Houses were crowded to overflowing at an eariy hoar, and those who applied for lodgings after the ar- rivals of the late trains, were turned away. The smaller hotels of the city were propor- Uonately thronged with guests, as were also many of the private boarding and lodging Bovses, where visitors were eatisfied with get- tipg sleeping accommodations on the floor. One thousand visitors were furnished with Jogdings by the Lincoin and Johnson Club, and the various fire companies of the city enter- tained a large number of brother firemen from other cities, During the past few days the rauroad com- anies bave been taxed to their utmost eipac- ty, every train, composed of from 10 to 19 cars, being crowded, and often ladies even being compelied to take a standing sea: Itis egtimated that the number arriving daily has reached from 5,000 to 8000 since Monday, and | ana interfere not a little with the preparations | arrival of the procession. | press, sir,” did not work atall.

Darin, the iast three or four days the att8ndance o: | visitors at the Capitol had increased wonder- ‘and yesterday the throng was so im- falys to obstruct all the halls and passages, mense 1s for to-day’s ceremonies. The Sergeant-at- Arms of the Senate held a levee at his office in the Capitol, issuing tickets of admission. These were given to Senators, members of the House, the President's suite, foreign legations, mem- bers of the press, and their respective families. Many, however, availing themselves of Sen- atorial influ‘ nce to secure passes, effected an entrance where they had no business.to come, and not a few slipped in many hours previous to the ceremonies, and patiently awaited the The old trick of shysters, ‘: Member ot the ard non-plussed many a complacent chap who flattered himself with the idea of hisown peculiar cuteness. TheSergeant-at-Arms was courteous but inexorable. The regular repre- sentatives of the press belonging to Congress received tickets promptly; to all others an in- variable refnsal was given. The park in front of the Capitol was stripped of much of the building material which oc- cupied its broad area; and on the marble blocks plank flooring was laid, s0 that no portion of the grounds were left obstructed. The en- trances on the north and sonth sides of the park were enlarged, and nothing neglected that was necessary to afford favorable opportunities to the crowd for comfortably witnessing the in- teresting ceremonies. Now and Then. Four years ago the preparations were of a fsr more warlike character. The city was filled with rebels who proclaimed their senti- ments boldly in the streets, and hinted violence National airs were hissed down in public places of amurement, loyal men were assaulted on the avenue, and cheers tor Jeff. Davis were of common occurrence. For sometime previous to the inauguration there had been threats of bloodshed on that oc- casion, and the military authorities taxed their brains for devices to prevent any such catas- tropbe. Every preparation was made for fighting. The volunteer organizations in the procession were supplied with cartridges, sharpshooters were posted atc on venient spots along the avenue and on the roofs of buildings, and atihe market house a small force of in- fantry was posted for the support of the rifle- | Men in that vicinity. Gen. Scott, with Magra- der’s and Fry’s batteries, were atthe corner of Delaware ayenue and B street, ready for | action, the gunners and drivers remaining at their posts throughout the ceremonies. Gen. Scottin the meantime kept his sconts busily occupied visiting ali parts of the dense crowd and watching tor the first indication of trouble. The day, however, passed off quietly, but the feverish anxiety of that morning. and the cer- tainty of terrible bloodshed following any riot- ous demonstration, created impressions on the minds of those who were present that probably will never be erased. The commandant (Magruder) of one of these batteries referred to left Washingion a few days after, and subsequently was made a General by the rebels. . The Avenue, Pennsylvania avenue, about the time of the starting of the procession. presented a brilliant appearance indeed, despite the unpleasant weather. Thousands of people occupied the sidewalks and the windows and balconies of private and public buildings. The long colo- nade of the Treasury Building bore an immense freight of human beings, and the west front of the Capitol was similarly loaded. ‘The Ntate Depariment attracted much atten- tion by its brilliant display of gracefully draped flags; as did the War Department by its dis- play of flags and also of arches, and other dec- orations of evergreen The national flag in some shape, mammoth Or miniature, was to be seen at every available point slovg the avenue, and upon the various carriages, cars, harness of horses, &c., on the streets, giving an exceedingly lively appear- ance to the scene. Atthe White House. = As early as nine o’clock a crowd began to assemble in tront of the White House, on Penn- sylvania avenue, andin a short time both sides of the street were completely jammed up hy those eager to see the President, but they were disappointed in doimg so, as he was called to the Capitol early this morning to sign a num- ber of important bills passed by both houses ef Congress yesterday and last night, where he remained, and consequently was not in the t five minutes toeleven OMe Meena Lara! and a nom- ber of United States marshals acting as nis aids, entered the east gate of the enclosure leading to the President’s mansion, for the purpose of escorting the President out and as- signing bim to his position in line. At this time it w&s first discovered that the President ‘was at the Capitol, when Marshal Lamon im- mediataly detailed Marshal Millard, of Phila- dejphia. and Marshal Marray, of New Lork, to escort Mrs. Lincoln through the crowd to the Capitol. Mrs. Lincoln then entered her carriage,in company with Senators Harlan and Anthony, and passed out the west gate of the enclosures of the White House, under es- cortof the Union Téght (aard, and drove in advance of the procession to the Capitol. The Procession. = As the hour for starting tue iine of proces- sion approached the clouds broke away aus- pictously disclosing clear sky in the west. The procession formed on the avenue, between 1514 and 20th streets, and commenced to move about half past eleven a. m.. in the following order: One bundred and nineteen Metropolitan Po- Heemen; under charge of Superintendent Kich- ards.

Dickson, Chief Engineer of the Steam Fire Brigade, as Marshal. The Government steam fire brigade, it was expected, would have led off this portion of the procession, but an order was unexpectedly is- sued last evening that the members of the com- panies—Hibernia, Meigs and Rucker—shonld remain at their quarters, so that in case of fire they should not be ont of the way. THE PHILADELPHIA FIREMEN. Chief Engineer D. M. Lyle and Assistant Engi- neer J. S. Robins Good Will Engine, No. 20, headed by the Liberty Cornet Band, and marshalled by W. J. Pascoe, came next.

At the Capitol. # Early this morning the grounds surrounding the Capitol assumed an animated appearance, and rapidly filled up with visitors, determined on securing favorable positions. A line of guards were posted about the stepsof the east- ern front,(all other entrances being closed,) who permitted none to pass except those pro- vided with tickets of admission. Thedoorway leading from the steps to the Senate chamber ‘was completely invested by ladies awaiting the hour fortheir admission; and approach trom. the outside being impossible, a skillful flank movement by the Star reporter on a neighbor- ing window became necessary, and resulted in his trimphant oceupation of the reporter's gal- lery. A namber of the Metropolitan Police Were stationed at various angles of the corri- dors, and a few of the Capitol police posted at the bronze doors between the House and the eld Hall of Representatives, prevented all from passimg over to the Senate from that side unless provided with the necessary pass. The Senate Chamber was arranged at an early hour for the ceremonies. Within the arc formed by the desks around the front of the Vice President's chair, elegant cushioned arm chairs were placed and cane seats sand- wiched between the widely separated chairs of the Senators, while sofas and settees filled up the rear. The proceedings of the Senate ‘Were quite uninteresting, and about 10 o'clock, on motion of Mr. Powell, the doors of the gal- leries were opened to the Isdies. Tha rueh and scramble for svats was characteristic of the gentle sex, and from that time until the Senate adjourned the contusion rendered the proceedings inaudible. At 1! o'clock the gal- Jeries were filled, with no room for more, pre- senting terraces of variegated hues that viein beauty with the finest effects of the rainbow. The time slipped wearily away to the out- aiders, patiently waiting in the mud and rain, while inside the Senate vainiy endeavored to transact business, with loud and repeated but Unsuccessful ealls of the presiding officer upon the ladies to preserve order in the galleries. Vice Admiral Farragut entered the Senate Chamber and quietly sut down in one of the back seats. Next came Major General Hooker, then Major General Bartlett, and others, while the attaches of the several foreign legations, “some gorjus for to see,” leisurely saunte: into their gellery. 3 7 eed At fifteen minutes before twelve Vice Presi- dent Hamlin escorted the Vice President elect to the desk, and soon aftcr the Cabinet appeared, folowed by the Supreme Court of the United The President was seated in front of the Secretary’s table, and the Committee of Ar. Tangementson the left Vice President Ham. lin, the Chief Justices and Associate Justices of the Supreme Court were seatéd on the right of the Chair, the Diplomatio Uorps on the right of the Chair, next to the Supreme Court, heads of Departments on the left of the Ohair. Officers of the Army and Navy who, by mame, have received the thaaks of Congress; Governors of States nnd Territories of the Union; ex-Governors of States; Assistant Sec- retarles of Departments; the Assistant Post- colored | era}. and the Judge Advocate General; Vomp- trollers, Auditors, Register of the Treas- ury; Solicitors of the several Departmenis: Commissioners, Treasurer, Judges, and the Mayors of Washington and Georgetown, oc- cupied seats on the right and left of the main enirance. Members of Corgress, and members entered the Senate Chamber by the mi Pai and occupied seats on the left of the air, — : Vice President Hamlin, in a brief farewell Address, feelingly alluded to his connection with the Senate as its presiding officer, and after referring to the brilliant future of the ‘Republic, concluded by wishing ail a safe and happy retarn to their families. Viee President Johnson followed, referring to his elevation from the ranks as an illustra. tion of American privileces, and proceeded at length upon the subject of the subordination of Presidents’ and Secretaries to the will of the pecple, at the conclusion of which the oath of Office was administered tohim by Vice Pres- ident Hamlin, the Vice President elect taking the bible in his hand and elévating it before the audience, exclaiming, “I kiss this book be- fore my nation of the United States.” Vice President Johnson, after some further remarks, then took the chair, and calling the Senate to order, administered the oath .0 the Senators elect to the 39th Congress, after which the body repaired to the east front of the Cap- ito}. Meanwhile the threatening clouds had dis- persed, and the sun lighted up the «pomp and circumstance of glorions war’ In the pirks most cheerfully, and brightening withits beams the snow white dome and upturned faces of the throng, a well accepted omen of the better days just dawning on the country. As the President, followed by the imposing cortege that had filled the Senate Chamber, stepped out from among the columns et the eastern portico, and in his unassuming way came into full view of the throng, a loud, long and en- thusiastic cheer welcomed him, with many repetitions, that seemed as though they would not be checked, even by the expectation for the inaugural, Finally the tumult subsided, the privileged visitors to the Senate Chamber clus- tered on the porticoes and at the windows, and in the universal hush, the President addressed the people as follows: The Inaugural Address. Feillow-Cofntrymen: At this second ap- pesring to take the oath of the presidential of- fice, there is less occasion for an extended ad. dress than there was at the first. Then, a statement, somewhat in detail, of a course to be pursued, seemed fitting and proper. Wow, at the expiration of four years, daring which public declarations have been constant. ly called forth on every point and phase of the great contest which still absorbs the attention and engrosses the energies of the nation, little that 1s new could be presented. The progress of our arms, upon which all else chiefiy depends, is as well known to the public as to myself; and itis, 1 trust, reason- ably satisfactory and encouraging toall. With hig. hope for the future, no prediction in re- gard to it is ventured. On the occasion corresponding to this four years ago, all thoughts were anxiously directed to an impending civil war. All dreaded it— all sought to avert it. While the inaugural address was being delivered from this place, devoted altogether to saving the Union without war, insurgent agents were in the city seeking to destroy it without war—secking to dissolye the Union, and divide effects, by negotiation. Both parties deprecated war; but one of them would make war rather than let the Nation survive; and the other would accept war rather than let it perist. And the war came. One-eighth of the whole population were colored slaves, not distributed generaily over the Union, but localized in the southern part of it. These slaves constituted a peculiar and powerful interest. All knew that this mterest was, somehow, the cause of the war. “Lo sirengthen, perpetuate ard extend this interest was the object for which the insur- gents would rend the Union, even by war; while the Government claimed no sight to do more than to restrict the territorial enlarge- ment of it. Neither party expected for the ‘war the magnitude or the duration which ithas already attained. Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with, or even before, the conflict itself shorid cease. Each looked for an easier triumph, and are- sult less fundamental and astounding. Both Tead the same Bible, and pray to the same God; and each Invokes His aid against the other, It may ccem cueuge thet any should dare to ask a just God’s assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other Men’s faces; but let us judge not, that we be not judged. The prayers of both could not be answered—that of neither has been answered fully. The Almighty has his own purposes. «Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh.” It we shall sup, pose that American slavery is one ef those of- gences which, fn the providence of God, must needs come, bat which, having continned through His appointed time, He now wills to Temove, and that He gives to both north and south this terrible war, as the woe due te those by whom the offence came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attri- butes which the believers in a living God al- ‘Ways ascribe to Him ! Fondly do we hope—fervently do we pray— that this mighty scourge of war may speedily passaway. Yet, if God wills that it continue until aH the wealth piled by the bondman’s two hundred and fitty years of unrequited toilshall be sank, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by an- other drawn with the sword, as wassaid three thousand years ago, so still it must be said, “The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.” With malice toward none; with charity for all, with firmness ir the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation’s wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the bat- tle, and tor his widow, and his orphan—to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and a lesting peace among ourselyes, and with ‘li nations. At the conclusion of the address, the pro- cession was formed and moved towards the Executive Mansion, President Lincoln ac- companied in his carriage by his sun, Master “Taa” Lincoln, and Senator Foster, of Con- necticut. Next followed the carriage of Mrs. Lincoln, who was accompanied by Senator Anthony, ef Rhode Island, then tha carriage of Robert Lincoln, and next two of the For- eign Ministers, succeeded by the Civic pro- cession. The Military Escert. ‘The military escort, consisting of the First Brigade Veteran Reserves, Lt, Col. Johuson, asection of 4th U. S. artillery, Lieut. King, and 2 equadron of the i6th New York caval. ne Capt. Leary, all under command ot Col. ile, made a fine appearance, and added much to the attractiveness of the precession. The Baltimore Visitors. At 11.20, the Baltimore delegation having arc- rived, were conducted to the Council Chamber of the City Hall by Alderman Utermehle and Coun*ilman N. Larner, of the committee of receplion. Alderman Utermehle introduced the delegation t~ the Mayor and Councils of Washington. Mayor Wallach welco the guests to Washington, and assured theif of the pleasure it would give the corporation to make them comfortable during theirstay. Dr. Way- son, marshal of the delegation, responded briefly, in appropriate terms The delegation consists of the president (Jamés Young, Esq ) ard twenty members of the First Branch, the president (Daniel Harvey, Esq.) and ten mem- bers of the Second Branch of the Baltimore Conncils, John A. Thompson, Esq., register, and Samuel McCubbia, comptroller of the city, John F. Plummer, Eey., the Mayor's secretary, and the commissioners of finance, E. T. Elli- cott and F. Littig Shaeffer, Esqs; also the Union Glee Club—in all about sixty members of the delegation, Dr. George W. Wayson and Mr. Lambden, marshals. Aftera few moments of preparation the delegation was invited to partake of a fine collation. While waiting for the call to the table, the Glee Cinb, under the direction of Gen. W. H. Hayward, favored the company in the Council Chamber with some patriotic glees, sung in excellent style. The delegation afterwards joined in the line of the inaugural procession. The delegation are still in charge of the reception committee, and will to-night partake of a dinner at the Seaton House, prepared by order of ths com. mittee for the enter!ainment of the guests, The committee having the visitors in charge— cs Utermehie, McCathran and Noyes, of the Aldermen, and Larner, Wilson and Ruf, of the Council—after the visitors had proceeded to the Capitol and witnessed the ceremonies, took charge of them, and escorted them to the City Hail, where they visited the two cham- bers, and went to the topof the bailding, where they obtained a fine view of the city, surround. ing country and fortifications. White on the top of the building they drank the healte and prosperity of the city of Washington, which, atthe time, they were overlooking. This af- ternoon the committee are doing the agravable towards the visitors, and at eight o'clock this evening the Baltimoreans are to dine with our corporate authorities at the Seaton House, where they stop to-might, and leave in the morning. < Fhe Police. « Thirty policemen, headed by Superintendent Richards, were detailed to form across the avenue in front of the procession, for the pur- e of clearing the way, and another squad ‘Was detailed to rorm a line on each side of the avenue. The police arrangements were admi- rable, and the men deserve much credit for the manner in which they carried out their orders. A force was also held in readiness at head- quarters, subject to orders. . Mounted Military Patrol. Gol. Ingraham detailed a strong mounted military patrol, who were posted at the inier- sections of the various streets crossing the ay~ enve to prevent vehicles from getting in the way, and to assist the police. In this way the avenue was kept clear of obstructions, and the procession meyed along in perfect order. Photographic. Among the incidents of the day were the op- erations of the eminent prcvosrephers, Gard- ner, of 7th: street,and Brady, of the avenue, taking pictures ef the spectacle at the Capitol. The photographs are superb, and will preserve to the future a life-like and remarkably epirit- ed presentation of the scene. Brady also made 8 group picture of all the members of the House of Representatives, @ work of art unsurpassed by any similar undertaking. Closing of the Day. ‘The day will closein an appropriate. man- ner with a public reception at the White House by the President and Mrs. Lincoln, for which the most extensive preparations have been made. similar to those of New Year's day, in anticipation of a large crowd. CONGRESSIONAL. SATURDAY, March 4. SgenaTz—The Senate continued in session from yesterday through the night, until seven o’clock this morning, engaged mostly on the miscellaneous eet ie een (or “omnibus” bill. as it is called,) the chief point of conten- tion and debate being the House amendment of Mr. Henry Winter Davis for securing to all civilians arrested by the military trial by the civil courts. The amendment was finally re. jected by yeas 1+, nays 15. The bill was then passed as it same from the Honse. Various other bills including appropriations suspended by reason of disagreeing amend- ments between the two Houses were finally disposed of by agreeing to the reports of con- ference committees respectively thereon. At ten o’clock the Senate again met this morning. Mr. Morrill reported back from the District Columbia Committee the House bill to prevent the enlistment of crimiaals or persons charged with crime from the prisons in this District; and ft was passed. The galleries on &ll sides of the chamber ‘were now crowded, and the confusion in- creased, so that several Senators declared they did not know what the bill was. Mr. Conness called up the bill to regulate commerce between the several States. The pending question was on the amendment of Mr. Wi'son, that no citizen of the United States shall be excluded from any railroad car, steamboat, or other conveyance, on account of any State of municipal law, or regulation of a corporation, &c., the penalty being #500 fine or imprisonment from three months to five years. Mr. Hale moved to amend the amenament by adding, “nor from any meeting house, church, or hotel;” which was carried; and Mr, Wilson's amendment, as thus amended, was agreed to—yeas 1, nays 14. Messrs. Chandler and Sumner again called for the question on the passage of the pending bill, but ineffectually. In the meantime the Cabin*t members and Justices ot the Supreme Court, the latter in their robes, entered the chamber, and soon the members of the Diplomatic Corps, in their rich and superb official dress, and other dignitaries followed, all taking their appointed seats in front and on the right of the dais. ‘The members of the House also soon ‘came in 4nd the floor was filled. The hour of 12 approaching, Vice President Hemlin rose an delivered a neat valedictory, referring tothe fact that through the four years of his service the republic had been afflicted with war to preserve its own existence, de- volving upon the Senate the consideration of most important measures in connection with the struggle, and expressing his gratitude to Senators tor the manner in which they had supported him in the discharge of his duties, atthe same time giving assurance that he had always desired and aimed to regard the riights and feelings of all. He closed by introducing the Vice President elect, Hon. Andrew John- 80D, 88 ready to take the oath of office. Mr. Jonneon then came forward on the dats ‘ont e Chair and addres: fe ‘announced: as ‘wholly by the Et Sree: le that he was there to take the oath as Vice esident of the United States, and we were yet a nation. It was not because of your President, your Vice President, your Secretary of State, your Secretary of War, your Secretary of the Navy, or any or all these, because of your Su- preme Court Judges, who like the rest, wera creatures of the people, that the nation, that the American government, had been preserved It was because of the people, and because this government was so closely connected with, and was of the people. He himself wasa ple- bian, and he wished to snnounce it here to the Winisters of foreign governments before him and to this vast multitude that all this power of the nation was because of the ple. It was by. them and through them that the nation had maintained this great struggle, and was putting down its enemies, and this Union had been and would be maintained. Tennes- see was & State of this Union, and he thanked God and the people that she was. The power of tbe people had made her such, and would keep her so. He wished to annonnces this fact, as well as repeat that other general idea of the power and efficiency of our institutions through their popular character. . Mr. Jobnson, after further enforcing these views, announced himself ready to take the oath ot office. He was then sworn in by Vice President Hamlin. Mr.Hamlin then announced the 35th Con- gress expired by limitation, and the Senate adjourned. Vice President Johnson now assumed the chair, and called the Senate to order. The President’s proclamation for an extra session of the Senate was then read. The uew Senators and those re-elected for new terms, were then called to be sworn in and they came forward and took the oath of office. The Senate subsequently returned to the legisiative chambr, and then adjourned till 12 o'clock Monday next. Hevsr.—The House after half-past seven o'clock in the evening was eugaged in the con. sideration of not only general appropriaton but bills of other character, The usual contusion prevailed throughout the proceedings. Mr. Cox introduced a resolution of respect to the Speaker for tne dignified, able and cour- teous Manner in which he discharged the du- ties cf the Chair, and he (Mr. Cox) supported it in @ neat little speech, Mr. Dawson, of Pa., seconded the resolution and endorsed the remarks of the gentleman from Uhio. The resolution was passed, three or four members only voting against it. The army ao Tea bill wasin danger of being lost. The Houce had inserted a prom- ise that no part of the money sfould be paid to the Illinois Central Railroad Company. This the Senate struck out, and two Commit- tees of Conference had failed toadjust the dis- agreement. Mr. Thayer cffered an amendment, so as to bring the subject before the Supreme Coart of the United States, to adjust the legal point, upon which, he said, the disagreement rested. After debate Mr. Morrill moved that the House recede: and this was agreed to, and so the bill was passed Mr Schenck, trom the Committee on Mili- tary Affairs, reported a resolution requesting the President to direct Gen. Augur to repeal the regulation which requires colored persons to obtain passes as a preliminary to leaving the city. The House transacted much miscellaneous businese, and atatew minutes past 7 took a recess till 8. On reassembling, there being but few mem- bers present a recess was taken for 10 minutes. Mr. Davis, of Md., made a report from the committee of conference on the civil and mis- celianeous appropriation bill. All points were agreed upos, except that which precludes civilians from being triea by military tribu- nals. Mr. Pendleton unsuccessfully moved to ad- journ. 5 Mr. Mallory moved to lay the whole subject on the table; Dut tne motion was disagreed to. The civil appropristion bill was lost trom i uses. "tne hour of twelve having arrived, The Speaker delivered an eloquent and pa- triotic address, concluding as follows: “We go hence, with onr official labors ended, to the Senate Chamber, 4. the portico of the Capitol; there, with the statue of the Goddess of Liberty looking down, for the first time, from herlofty pedestal, on such a& scene, to witness and participate in the inauguration of the elect of the American people, And now, thanking you most truly for the approbation of my official conduct which you have recorded in your journal, I declare the Honse of Repre- sentatives of the 36th Congress of the United States t djourned sine dic. This speech was applauded. COND EDITION. 5 O'OLOOK P. M. PRESIDENT LINOOLN’S SEOOND TERM, Since the inauguration of George Washing- ton no similar event bas so stirred the popular heart of the country where that is loyal to the principles of free government, as this insnge- rauon of President Lincoln for a second term. This means, unmistakably, that the people with comparatively few exceptions, emphati. cally approve the policy and meagnres by which he is suppressing the rebellion, And have universal confidence in his energy, capacity and patriotism, as the result of their experience with him atthe bead of American public af- fairs during the past four most trying years of our brief national lifetime. Wesnbmit, to those ‘Who refiect, that this so remarkable display of popular approbation of our country’s Chief Magistrate, means neither more nor less than an overwhelming endorsement of the new ‘departure’ im the course of our national pol- ‘ey—of our public affairs—into which the 80 wide spread treason of the times, now happily gasping in death threes, has precip. itated the country. We need hardly remark that the rebellion has already worked an en- tire revolution in the public mind with refer_ ence not only to the rights and duties of the States, but concerning the obligations which the citizen owe to the State and National Gov- ernments, respectively. In thesame manner have eivil commotions repeatedly worked rev- olutions in the popular readings of English constitutional and other laws, more than once affecting changes without resorting to scratch of pen, which have amounted to well-nigh an entire reconstruction of English rights, if nog of English society. All these eventful tran- sitions have resuited fortunately for the Brit- ish nation; Increasing and strengthening Eng- lish liberty, and amazingly furthering the ma- terial prosperity of the Engush people and the power of the English State in the affairs of the world. We see no reason to doubt that the revolution in our own government, which tna rebellion is so swiftly working, as explained above, will tail to operate as beneficially for @ 4s a nation. THE INAUGURAL OF PRESIDENT LINCOLN. The Star was the first eity paper to present Mr_ Linco!n’s inaugural address to the public; ana our power press was Kept busy for a long time lying the eager demand for it. in pithy brevity, sagacity and honesty of purpose, the address is Linconian all over. FROM POINT LOOKOUT, The steamer Charleston, from Uity Point, Capt. Wheeler, with H. E. Goodwin, Post Quartermaster, and Dr. Thompson, Medical Director at Prisoner Camp, Point Lookout, ar- rived here to-day. Pe The steamer Balloon arrived at Point Look- outon Friday, from Baltimore, with twelve rebel murderers, ' rsught from Louisville, Ky., among them Major Douglas, Capt. Peacher, Capt. Ray, Capt. Moore, Lient. Cooley, and also the notorious Capt. Gurley, who mur- dered Gen. McOook after he had been wounded and placed in an ambulance. The Govern- ment have not yet decided what to do with them, although they have all been sentenced by court martial to death. ‘There are 7,00 prisoners at the Point. The steamer brought up the body of Malcom Woodralf, who died of consumption aboard the boat, aged thirty-five. He belonged at Kingston, N. Y. FROM THE SOUTH. The Rebels claim te h: field—They admit he Checked. The Fall of Wilming . We know, from Northern papers, that the enemy occupied Wimington on the morning of the 22d ult. As the last train left, our Whit- ‘worth battery, planted atthe head of Front and Market streets, was firing upon the enemy, who had appeared upon the causeway on the western side of the Uape Fear River. Their main advance was then checked at Alligator Creek; some few skirmishers pushed forward, but were driven off. Our troops retreated across the northeast branch of the Cape Fear River, at what is known as Big Bridge Ferry, or McKee's Fer- ry. 10 is satu tat our ‘xorces aviempted to burn the railroad bridge at Northeast, nine miles from Wilmington, but were only parti- ally successiul. ter accounts say that our forces had checked the forward movement of the enemy there. If so, it is probable that Schofield wiil next try the Fayetteville route, or attempt to effect a junction with Sherman, Since Sherman bas already been reported as Moving towards Cheraw, there is no impro- priety in indicating the opinion that this may be & Movement by the flank, to cross the Uatawba river, below the railroad, and thence move on Charlotte, along the eastern bank; or it may mean a change of front, with the intention to reach Fayetteville, and be in co-operation with Schofield. Gen. Schofield “‘Checked’’ by Bragg—Preb- able Junction with Sherman, From the Richmond Inquirer, March 2.) ‘he situation at Petersburg is unchanged. Scores of deserters coming into our lines every night indicate that fighting is imminent. The roads are still too bad for serious movements of troops. Itis stated that our forces under Gen. Bragg have succeeded in checking the forward movement from Wilmington, under Schofield, on the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad, and that the latter had advauced no further than Northeast river, 10 or 15 miles from the city. It is thought that Schofield will try to effect a junction with Sherman via Fayetteville, perhaps, An immense war meeting was held in Mo- bile on the 13th of February, at which patriotic speeches were delivered and appropriate reso- lntions passed.
