At about eleven o'clock the procession commenced ‘moving towards the Capitol from the corner of Sixteenth tweet and Pennsylvama avenue. The military escort evasisted of several bands of music, two regiments of the Emvalid corps, a squadron of cavalry, a battery of artil- leary and four companies of colored troops. ‘The Mayor and Common Council of this city, the visit- fing Councilmen from Baltimore, the Washington fire- mea and tho visiting firemen of Philadelphia (the Good- ‘Will, Franklin aud Perseverance compantos, having their engines along), were noticeable features of the proces- Gon. & lodge of color:d Freemasons waa noticod among the Masonic and Odd Fellows’ lodges in the procession, The lino of march of the procession was decorated ‘with flags displayed from numerous buildings, including the public buildings, and ail the windows along the route ‘Were crowded with citizens of both sexes and all ages, ead there was considerablo enthusiasm manifested at @very stage of progress made by the procession.

THE WHAUGURAL ADDRESS, Fm.ow Counrayusx—At this second appearing to take the cath ofthe Presidential office, there ts leas occasion for an extended address than there was at the first. Then ‘© statement somewhat in detail of » course to ho pursued soomed ‘Sitting and proper. Now, at the expiration of four during which public declarations have deen called forth on every point and phase of the great contest which still abeorbs the atten- tion and engrosses the energies of the nation, little that ig new could be presented. The progress of our arms—upan whieh all elee chiefly depends—is as well known to the public as to myself; and it is, I trast, reasonably satisfactory and encouraging toall. With high hope forthe future, no prediction ia regard to it is ventured. On the occasion corresponding to this four years ago all thoughts were anxiously directed to an impending civil war. All droaded it; all sought to avoid it, While the inaugural address was being delivered from this place, devoted altogether to saving the Union without war, in- surgent agents were in the city secking to destroy it without war—seeking to dissolve the Union amd divide the effects by negotiation. Both parties depreoated war; bat one of them would make war rather than let tho nation survive, and the other would accept war rather than let it perish, and the ‘war came. One-cighth of the whole population were col- ered slaves, not distributed generally over the Union, but localized in the Southern part of it. These slaves constituted s peculiar and powerful interest, Albicnew that this interest was somehow the Cause of the war. To strengthen, perpetuate and extend this interest was the object for which the insurgents ‘would rend the Union by war, while the government Glaimed no right to do more than to restrict the territorial enlargement of it, Neither party expected for the war the magnitude or the duration which it has already attained. Neither an- ticipated that the oause of the conflict might cease, ‘even before the conflict itself should cease. Each looked for an easier triumph and a result leas fundamental and astounding. Both read the same Bible and pray te the same God, and each invokes His ald against the other. It may seem strange that any mén should dare toask 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 drawn with the lash esball drawa with the sword, as was said three ago, 80 still it must be said that the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. ‘With malice toward none, with charity forall, with firm- ness in tho right, as God gives us to sce the right, let us strive on to finish the work we arein, to bind up the nation’s wound, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphans; to do all which mayachieve and cherisha just and a lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations, ‘There was a very large attendance, and the scene wag one of marked interest. ‘The address was received with enthusiastic applause by the crowd, which at this stage of the proceedings was very large. A national salute was fired by a battery of artillery stationed near the Capitol, and the cheering of the people was renewed. The procession again commenced moving, the cere- monies having terminated. Mr. Lincoln entered an ‘open Darouche, accompanied by his son and Senator Foster. After escorting the President to the White House the procession broke up. All the ceremonies were now ended. No accident oc- curred, notwithstanding all the excitement of the occasion and the vast numbers who turned out. Additional Details of the Inauguration Ceremonies. Wasumoton, March 4, 1965. ‘Tho grand vent is over. , Tho inauguration ceremonies aro concluded. The thousands from the loyal States and cities of the North, and the loyal neighborhoods of the South, who thronged Washington to witness the installa- tion of the Chiof Magistrate of a great nation, have been gratified. The morning was dark and gloomy. It rained in tor. rents. The streets were a sluice of mud. Numbers who had intended to participate in the procession were doter- red therefrom ; but at an early hour the military escort, the firemen and a few of the civic societies, began to as- semble at the rendezvous, notwithstanding tho rain storm, and a continuous stream of people of all sexes, ages, colors and conditions, was poured towards tho Capi- tol to witness the ceremonies there. Carriages were in great demand, Almost incredible premiums were offered for the use of vehicles, The whole population was massed in the vicinity of the Capitol, the Presidential mansion, and along the sidewalks of Pennsylvania ave- Bue. At the hour indicated in the programme the procession ‘was formed; but it was the play of Hamlet with Hamlet left out. The President was already at the Capitol, busily engaged in signing bills as fast as they were enrolled The first sign of the movement of the procession was the passage along the avenue at a rapid pace of the Presiden- tial equipage, attended by the escort of United states Marshals and the guard of black horse cavalry usually on duty at the White House, It contained Mrs. Lincoln and some other members of the Presidential household. Boon afterwards the procession, preceded by a strong force of police, passed along. The military portion consisted of one regiment of infantry (Veteran Reserves), a battalion of cavalry, and a battery of artillery. These were followed by the Fire Brigade, comprising the government and city Fire Departments, and the visting fremon from Phiia- dotphia. This display was remarkably fine,and was one of the most attractive features im the procession. After these came various civic societies, State delegations and political associations, and a large number of citizens on horseback. Taking into consideration the weather and condition of the streets, the procession Was much larger and imposing than was anticipated. Soon after it began to move the clouds broke away, and the sua sbone out with great splendor, giving to the scone e bright and cheeriul aspect. ‘Whilo the procestion was ewrovée, the preparations for the inaugural ceromonies were made in *he Senate cham- ber. Guards wore placed at the entrance on the eastern front, ail the other entrances being closed, and only those ‘Were permitted to enter who were provided with the car- tol of the Sergoant-at-Arma to the Senate.

The preservation of order was impossible, Amidst the confusion and the Babel hum of, voices in the gallery, the Senate proceedings were inaudible, and ttle was done except to wait for the coming of the gréat event of the day. Vice Admiral Farragut and Major Generals Hooker and Bartlett occupied seate on the floor of the fenate, and the diplomatic gallery was filled with the representatives of the various foreign legations, in grand costume, presenting” a brilliant array of chapesux and feathers, gold and silver lace, and sparkling decora- tions of honor, The army was largely represented. Among these were Major General Webb, Chief of General. Meade’s staff; Major General Ingalls, Chief Quartermaster of the armies operating against Richmond, accompanied by Captain Horsell and Licutenant French, of his staff; Colonel Sharpe, Assistant Provost Marshal General off] received an affirmative reply, the pompous gentleman the Army of the Potomao; Captains Leet, Webster and | remarked, ‘That when he left his residence United ‘Trobinette, of Generat Grant’s staff; and numerous other officers, representing the armics of the Shenandoah and the gouth and West. i A few minutes before twelve o'clock the officiat pro- cession began to file into the chamber. First came the members of the Supreme Court, who were seated on the right of the Vice President's chair. Goon after Mr. Lis- coln entered, escorted by Vice President Hamlin, and fol- lowed by the members of the Cabinet, the chiefs of the diplomatic corps, officers of the army and navy who have received the thanks of Congress, Governors, &c., &c., in the order named in the programme of proceed- ings, all of whom were appropriately seated. In « few minutes, Vice President Hamlin briefly and feelingly bid farewell to the Senate as its presiding officer. ‘He was followed by Mr. Johnson, Vice President elect, in &@ speech remarkable only for its incoherence, which Drought a blush to the cheek of every Senator and official of the government who was present, The oath of office as Vice President was then administered to Mr. Johnson, and the Senators elect to the Thfrty-ninth Congress were ‘sworn in, after which the official procession was formed and proceeded to the platform in front of the portico of the eastern front of the Capitol, where the ceremony of the inauguration of the President elect was concluded. ‘The appearance of Mr, Lincoln on the platform was the signal for a tremendous outburst of enthusiastic cheers, ‘When this tumult subsided, the President stepped for- ward and delivered his inaugural address, It ig estimated that from thirty to forty thousand persons were present notwithstanding the depth of mud im which the main portion of the crowd were obliged to stand. 9 ~ At the conclusion of the proceedings on the platform, the procession was reformed, and the newly inaugurated President, with his attendants, was escorted to the White House, During the afternoon the numerous trains were crowded with returning visitors to the inauguration, and the streets have becn kopt crowded with the marching and-countermarcling of delegations, fire companies and military bodies, preceded by bands of music. The President’s reception thia evening was a tremen- dous jam. All the nobodies of the country wore there. It took two Rours to ride from the gate to the White House door, and as much longer to get to the East Room. All the arrangements were abominable. The President shook hands with every- body, and sald, ‘How do you do? At ten o'clock his glové was half torn off, and he looked pérfeotly ex- hausted. The cry, “We are coming, father Abraham, five hundred thousand more,” was too much for him. ‘He bas greatly improved in personal appearance lately, and dresses in good taste. Mra, Lincoln stood at some distance from the President, and bowed to all comers. Bhe was dressed in light drab and an overdress of lace, and her hair was eo elegantly arranged that she appeared to even greater advantage than usual. She was always surrounded by a throng of cavaliers, Captain Robert Lincoln was present, in uniform. Svcretarios Seward and Stanton supported each other in extending conversational hogpitalities. All the notabilities at the inauguration in the morning ‘were at the reception in the evening. Thecrowd went from one to thc other. Transfer the names, and you haye all the distinguished. Fred Douglass, another Negro, and two negro women, were in the East Room, and marched about with the rest ofthe company. None of the ladies were extravagantly dressed, and none of the dresses made a display in the jam. Altogether the re- ception wae a mixed affair, in which every one was un- comfortable and all were satisfied. Miscellancous Washington Telegrams. Wasuoron, March 4, 1865. THE NEW YORK CUSTOM HOUSE APPOINTMENTS CONFIRMED. The New York Custom House appointments, including that of Mr. Wakeman, were confirmed by the Senate in executive session to-day. Senator Spmgue attempted a fierce speech in opposition to Mr. Wakeman, but was enable to securo sufficient votes to arrest the confirma- tion, THE CIVIL APPROPRIATION AND OTHER BILLS BE- FORE CONGRESS. ‘The Civil Appropriation Bill as originally reported con- tained large appropriations for the coast survey, light- house establishments, and other objects of a miscelia- neous character, This being considered an “omnibus” bill, the House added new features and the Senate weighed it down with heavy, appropriations, mncluding at least four millions of dollars for reimbursing Miesourl for the expenses of calling out and subsisting the State militia and appropria- ting seven or eight hundred thousand dollars to repay the moneys advanced by Pennsylvania in cdMing out her militia to assist in repelling the invasion of Gen. Lee. The Senate struck out of the bill a material amend- ment fnserted at tho instance of Mr. Davis, of Maryland, namely:—That no person shall bo tried by court martial or military commission in any State or Territory where the courts of the United States are open, except persons actually mustered and Commissioned or appointed otherwise by law in the military or naval service, or rebel enemies charged with being spies. When the disagreeing votes of the two Houses were sent to ® conference committee, the mana- gers compromised all their differences excepting the amendment, of Mr. Davis, which it was proposed should be acted ‘upon separately. Many of the members of the House, however, preferred losing the bill to surrendering the clause in question, and so by dilatory motions they de- feated it. All the other general appropriation bills were passed, and also tho bills to establish a Bureau for Refugees and Freedmen ; to authorize the coinage of three cent pieces of copper and nickel, and to prohibit the iasue of frac- tional currency under five conta. ‘The Bankrupt and the Iitingis and Niagara Ship Canal bills were lost in the Senate, while the bill to pay extra compensation to the builders of the tron-clads was also lout. Nothing was finally dene with the Camden Railroad Company bill, the House bill remaining in the Senate, clogged with amendments MOVEMENTS OF GENERAL MOSQUERA. General Mosquera, ex-Preaident of the republic of Co- Jombia, returned from the" front yesterday. With the Aiplomatic corps, he attended the inauguration to-day, and wes the only foreign representative, besides Mr. Ro- mero, the Mexican Minister, who went upon the platform tohear the inaugural address. A distinguished dinner ‘Patty was invited to meet him this evening by Mr. Ro- eto, after which General M. returned to New York. “CALIFORNIAN WANTED IN TRE CABINGT. A new development has been made to-day in regard to the organization of the new Cabinet.

It ts urged that the systems now prevailing in the Atian- tie and Pasific States are so diverse that it is purely ap- Propriate that the Pacific coast interests should be repre- sented in the Cabinet.

Any- thing relating to him is therefore interesting. Through ‘an officer in bis command, recently arrived, I have ob- tained the circumstances of an amusing scene said to have taken piace between Geveral Sherman and the British Consul at Savannah, which, to say the least, is characteristic of that officer, as well asthe self-sufficient style of her Majesty's officials in the Bouth. On the arrival of General Sherman at Savannah, he | aw 8 large aumber of British fags displayed from build- ings, and haq a curiosity to know hew many British |* Consuls there were there. He soon ascertained that these flags were on buildings where cotton had been stored away, and 4: once ordercd it to be seized. Soon after that, while the General was busily engaged at his head- quarters, @ pompous gentleman walked in, apparently in (great haste, and inquired if he was Gen. Sherman? Having ‘States troops were engaged in removing his cotton from M8, when it was protected by the British flag.” “Stop, sir,” said General Sherman, ‘‘not your cotton, air, but my cotton; my cotton, in the name of the United States government, sir. I have noticed,” continued General Sherman, ‘‘a great niany British flags here, all Protecting cotton; I have seized it all in the name of my government,” k, air,” sald the Consul, indignantly, ‘‘there is any cotton in Savannah that does not belong to me” “There is not a pound of cotton here, sir, that does not Delong to me, for the United States,” responded Sherman. “Well, sir,”* sadd the Consul, swelling himseif up with the dignity of his office and reddening in his face, ‘my government shvil hear of thie, 3 eball report your con- duct to my government, air.”” “Ah! pray, who.are you, sir?” said the General. “Consul to her British Majesty, str.’ “Oh! indeed!” responded the General. “I hope you ‘will report me to your government. You will please say to your government, for me, that 2 have been fighting the English government all the way from the Ohio river to Vicksburg, and thence to thie point At every step I have encountered British arms, British munitions of war, and British goods of every description, at every step, sir, I have met them, sir, in all shapes; and now, sir, I find you claim- ing all the cotton, sir, I intend to call upon my govern- ment to order me to Nassau at once.” “What do you purpose to do there!” asked the Consul, somewhat taken aback. “I would,’’ replied the General, ‘take with me a quan- tity of picks and shovels, and throw that cursed sand hill into the sea, sir. You may tell your government that, sir, I would shovel it into the ses, sir; and then I would pay for it, sir—if necessary. Good day, sir.”” It is needless to add that General Sherman was not again troubled with the officious representative of hor Majesty’s government. CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS. THIRTY-EIGHTH CONGRESS.

Mr. Corrax, in taking leave of the members of the Honee, said:— GexTLExeN oF Tae House or Reraecenranives:—The parting hour has come, and yonder clock, which takes note of time, will soon announce that the Con; of which we are members has passed into history. Honored by your votes with this responsible position, I have faith- fully striven to perform its always complex and often perplexing duties without partisan bias, and with the sincerest impartiality. Whether I have realized the true ideal of a just presiding officer, aiding, on the ono hand, the advance of the public business, with the responsi- bility of which the majority is cl and, on the other hand, allowing no trospass en the parliamentary rights of the minority, must be left for others to decide, But looking back now over the entire Congress, I cannot re- member a single word addressed to you which Dying I would wish to blot. On this day, which, by spontaneous consent, is being observed wherever our flag floats as a day of national re- foicing, with a roar of cannons greeting the riving sun on ‘the rock bound coast of Maine, re-echoed and reeechoed by answering volléys from city to city, and from moun- tain peak to mountain peak, ti, from the golden gate, they die away, far out on the'Pacifie, we mingle our con- gratulations with those of the froemon we represent, over the victories for the Union that have made the win- ter just closing close with joy and hope, With them we rejoice that the national standard which our revoiution- ary fathers unfurled over the land, bat which reb:lion sought to strike down and destroy, waves a8 und! ited at hour over the cradle of a reunion at Charleston as over the cradle of liberty at Faneuil Hall, and that the whole firmament is affame with the br.lliant glow of triumph for that cause.
