cars which arrive at different periods through the
day from the south, east and west come freighted
with live lumber of all sexes and conditions, on
,her way to Washington to see the great show,
the Inauguration of "the peoples choice" Our
hotels are full, nearly to overlooking, and saw a
gentleman from Washington last evening who in
formed me that the crowd was so great in that city
that he had determined to return to Baltimore,

thought he might perhaps, return to Washington,
and, if he could, see the Inauguration. We have
just heard, through Morse's telegraph, Of the pas
