We care not what persuasions may be eesayed upon them, those nominal Unionists of the body who fail to sustain the Unionnom- | inee of the expected caucus of Wednesday night pext, may regard themselves, in advance, as being utterly repudiated here. While we have no authority to expressa preference on the partof the Government as between any loyal men who may be candidates for the position under the rule adopted by the caucus ef Jast Wednesday night, as a citizen of Maryland as deeply mterested in the State’s future as any other man identified therewith, the editor of the Star cannot refrain from ex- preeting his preference, in view of all the cir- cumstances involved, in favor of the Hon. Mr. Creswell, emphatically the standard bearer of the Union cause upon the Eastern Shore throvgbonut the past tryingtwo years. Recog- bizing the necessity of consolidating tne Union party throughout the State. and of soerganizing it upcn “The Shore” as to secure it a ma- jority of the popular vote hereatter. past per- adventure, we see as little good sense in tem- porizing On the part of the Union members of the Legislature with men, as with measures. ‘Their duty is to take the bull by the horns—to put forward their really representative man, Creswell—ana, in his election, to demonstrate | to the country that their purpose is to stand by the Government in all the issues which the treason of the times bas forced upon the United States apd the people thereof. THE PRESIDENTIAL RECEPTION. Tranguration day (Saturday,) closed in a very gratifying manner with & grand public reception at the White House by the President @nd Mrs. Lincoln. I: was apnounced that this would be a dress reception, but in conse. ; quence of the city being filled with strangers trom al! parts of the country, and in anticipa- tion of an unusual crowd in attendance it was deemed proper to make it @ public Teception for the people, without confining visitors to the usages customary at dress receptions, and measures similar to those of New Year's day @ Were adegted and a platform erected from one of the large windows of the East Room, by Which the visitors conld Pass out without com- | 4ng in contact with those who were passing in ae main sntrance of the building. Mes were received about YZ OSA RASEE ‘wom we noticed Secretary Stanton and fami- ly, Secretary Welles and fami y, Secretary Seward ard family, and Attorney General Speed and family. At 8 o'clock the gates were thrown opens when a grand rush was made by at least two thousand persons to €@in admittance to the building, and the hustling and jolting was terrific. Some of the more unfortunate fe- males who were caught in the surging mass: actually shrieked with pain, while several fainted and were carriedaway. It was im- possible to let all into the Mansion at once, but at each opening of the doors the same scenes were renewed, and after parties did get into the vestibule some of them presented | @ doleful appearance indeed, with dresses or | coats & good deal the worse for the muss. Persons were arriving 4s late as 11 o'clock: | Snd at times the walks from the ayenne to the White House were completely blocked up. The bour for closing the reception came before aly sueceeded in getting in, and thus many were compelled to return home without paying their respects to the President and Mrs. Lin- colin. The Franklin Hose Company, of Phifadel- phia, called ina body about 9% o’cleck, and Were presented tothe President. The Perse- verance Fire Company, of the same city, were received in the afternoon at 1o’clock, by Mr. Lincoln, in the East Room, when each mem- ber was introduced to him separately. Notwithstanding the immense crowd, the reception was very brilliant, the attendance of elegantly dressed ladies and distinguished gentlemen being very numerous. It would be impossible to mention allof the notable jper- gous present, and we therefore refrain from Pparticularizing. The President, who was attired, as usual, on such occasions, in a plain black suit, with white kid gloves, was in excellent spirits, not- withstanding the fatiguing ordeals through ‘which he passed during the day, and received @ll Dis visitors cordinily It is estimated that he ebook hands with between five and six thousand persons during the course of the eve- ning. Mrs. Lincoln was also kept fully occupied Jor hours in receiving the throngs anxious to be presented to her. She was dressed mos; ebarmingly in an elegant white satin dregs, the akirt tastefully draped with black lace, a rich Diack lace shawl, white lace barbe, costly pearl mecklace, Ac., &c. In the southwest corner of the East Room a stand was erected. from which the Marine Band discoursed sweet music.

There is information from Richmond to the effect that Lee’s project for the fature military operations of the Uonfederacy was to make & defensive quadrangle, with Richmond as one of its angles. The four points of the quad- rangle were to be manned each with 69,000 negro troops, who could, it was thought, be relied upon for defensive duty, leaving Lee at liberty with his white army, as a moveable one to march in any direction threatened. The failure of the rebel Congress to promptly pass the measure arming the negroes, and the rapid advance of Sherman and Sheridan meantime, have now made Lee’s plan impracticable, doubtless. THE EVACUATION OF PETERSBURG. There is reason to believe that the rebels are pesitively contemplating the evacuation of Pe- tersburg. This movement has been rendered necessary by the extent of their lines and the unparalleled thinning of their ranks by de- sertion. The position occupied by the enemy’s extreme right was valuable only so long as his supplies were forwarded by the Southside road; and the capture of Wilmington having made that read unavailable for transportation, the sacrifice necessary to the protection of that line is no longer an object. During the Jast few weeks formidable defences have been thrown up along the north bank of the Appo- mattox, and mounted with seventeen heavy guns, bearing on the salient approaches, Others sre being placed in position, and the statements of deserters from day to day con- firm the report that upon the completion of this new line Petersburg will be aban- doned. By this movement Lee will «co contract his right as to form a right angle of his line, a portion of which would thus be always be in a favorable position for supporting the rest in case of an attack by General Grant. The enemy long since ceased to make any vigorous demonstrations upon our lines, but has confined himse!t to the defensive, and maneuvering fer the purpose of inducing us to attack well fortified positions. AN accounts from Richmond daily become more. discouraging for the rebel cause, and agree in reference to the demoralization of both the army and people. The contraction of the enemy’s lines is regarded by themselves as a dernier Tesor'; @ eacrifive of a strong advanced position, by an experiment which promises no more success than did the occupation of the present formidable line of defense in the open- ing of the campaign. Wherever the enemy contracts his line we can do the same. The relative strength of the two armies can in nowise be affected by such movements, and the withdrawal of the enemy's right only brings our left closer to Richmond, with no greater obstacles nefore it than haye beer con- fronted during the past three months, BRIGADE BANDS. Hereafter, by direction of the War Depart. ment, all members of brigade bands, when found unfit for field duty, instead of being traneferred to the Veteran Reserve Corps, will be discharged the service of the United States, on the usu | certificate of disability. AN mem- bers of brigade bands who have been trans- ferred to the Veteran Reserve Corps, and are RAWAR thaLcoxns wil}, if found, upon a proper field duty, be discharged the service ef the United States. po ee eee REBEL DESERTERS.

BN A TE. — Senate met at noon, V = ident Johngon in the chair. See err On motion ef Mr. Morgan, a- committee of two (consisting of himself and Mr. Guthrie) was sppouted to wait on the President and in- form him that a quorum had assembled and were ready to receive any commanization he might be pleased to make. On motion of Mr. Wilson, a resolution was adopted directing the Sergeant-at-Arms to re- move from the Senate part of the Capitol the sale of intoxicating liquors. Mr. Lane, of Kansas, offered’ a resolution, which lies over, proposing to-pay the claim. ants of seats from Arkansas and Louisiana compensation and mileage. Mr. Trumbull calied attention to the fact that a joint resolution had been. presented to the President for his signature, but which he did not sign, directing suit to be brought in re- lation to paying the Central: lilmoia ilroad Company, nd prohibiting any money to be paid land-grant road Wompanies for trans- portation of troops, &c. This resolution did not pass the Senate, and the matter should be looked into. Mr. Clark explained taat the wrong measure had been enrolled instead of a private. bill. for the relief of his friend Ormes. On his motion, the Presidemt was requested toreturn the resolution. The Senate, after a ghort recess, was informed by Mr. Morgan, from the Select Committee, that sae President would send 3 mossage in writing. A message from the President was soon an- nounced. The Senate went into Exe. soon thereafter adjourned. ———_~re C= The Closing Hours of Cangress- The Senate, several honrs before the ad- journment on Savurday, cleared its executive calender of atl the pending Presidential nomt. rations, about six hundred in number, nearly allofa military character, which were con- firmed. ..'vbe_Prestdent sent im the nomination of Jobn D.

The Senate amendments to the Amenadatory In- ternel Revenue, the Amenaatory Tartif and the Indian Appropriation bills were noteveo read to the House, being SOnumerous, but wera @ll non-concurred in bodily, and forthwith seatto the Conference Committess, on whose reports, and with but brief and occasionally imperfectexplanation, they were slepted; ant again, toa bill merely to define the pay of off cers’ servants, twenty or thirty sections were added in relation to military affairs, inciuding an amendatory euroliment bill and kindred objects, and on these there had to be 8 Oommit tee of Conference, and rushed through without an intelligent{inow ledge of their character. The Civil Appropriation bill owes its defeat to being loaded down with extraneous amend. ments, and the want of line to adjast the dif- ferences between the two Houses The Amen- datory Tariff bill imposes an additional duty of two dollars a ton on railroad tron The exira session cf the Senate bas nothing to do with legislation, but will act upon nomina- tions for office, and probably contiaue for two weeks. The Civil bill, as originally reported, con- taived large appropriations for the Coast Sur- vey, Lighthouse, established land surveys, and other effects of @& miscellaneous ¢) This being considered an omnibus House added new features, and the weighed it down with heayy apy including at least four millions of Nars tor the expense of calling out and subsisting the State militia, and appropriating seven or eight bundred thousand dollars to repay moneys advanced for the Pennsylyania militia in as- sisting to repel invasion. The Senate struck outa material amendment, inserted at the instance of Mr. Davis, of Mary- land, namely: That no person sbail be tried court-martial or military commission in 3 State or Territory where the couris of ihe Uniied States are open, except persons actually mus- tered and commissioned, or appointed other- wise by lasy, in the military or naval service, or Rebel enemies charged with being spies. The disagreeing voles of the two houses were sent to aconference committee. The managers compromised all their differences excepting this, which it was proposed to be acted upon seperately, but many of the members of the House preferred losing the bill tosurrendering the clauses in question, and so by dilatory mo- tions they defeated it. All the other general appropriation bills Were passed, and aiso 4 bill to establish a ba- reau for refugees and {reedmen, and to author- ize the coinage of three cent pieces of copper and nickel, andto prohibit the issue of trac- tional currency under five cents. The bankrupt and the Illinois and Nitgara Ship Canal bills were lost in the Senate; while the bill to pay extra compensation to the build. ers of iron clads was also lost. Nothing was figally done with the Camden and Amboy Railroad Company, the House bill remaining clogged in the Senate with amend- ments.
