WASHINGTON, Marcel.

WASHINGTON, March =.
President Buchanan's inaugural al
dress was not wholly completed till siis
morning. and as there is but one COPY,
there will necessarily be delay in pre-
pairing it for transmission by telegraph.
The day opened by firing of cannon and
ringing Of bells. Weather beautiful.
There is great turnout of people, most
ly vending their way to the capitol. The
sidewalks are completely blocked. The
balconies are full Of immense masses of
living freight. All available windows
were occupied long before the procession
started. The military formed on N. Y.
Avenue.
The procession started for the capitol
about noon, being very long it presented
beautiful appearance. The military Of
the district and community at large, were
fully represented.
Buchanan and Breckinridge rode in
open carriages, surround by the Key Stone
Club, preceded by the military and rep
resentation by lady, of the Goddess of
Liberty, on high platform drawn by six
horses, followed by a mineature ship 6.

and engine companies, the balance of the
procession mainly according to the pro
gramme already published.
Buchanan reached the capitol about Q
O'Clock. A tremendous crowd was wait
ing there to hear the inaugural, and re
ceived him with enthusiastic cheers.
He proceeded Immediately to the SEN
ate Chamber, where the oath was admin
istered by Chief Justice Taney, and after
wards emerged from the building to the
eastern protico of the capital, where a
temporary stage was erected and in the
presence of assembled thousands, COM

SINGULAR PRAYER.-Passing through
the quiet little village of Saline, Indiana,
a few days ago, says the correspondent Of
an eastern paper, fellow passenger point
ed out weather beaten house of worship,
as the place where he once heard, on q
rainy occasion, the following prayer from
the lips Of the staid preacher: "We thank
thee. Lord. for the goodly number here
to night, and that Thou art also here,
Notwithstanding the inclemency Of the
weather."

Selection Of Fashionable Sermon.
The following from the Knickerbocke1
is we'll merited burlesque on the style
Of discourse too common in these days
from dandyjack graduates, anxious Ia
show off artificial learning without know
ing how to apply it:
Text-"And he killed the fattsd calf -
Introduction.-Not necessary to say
much about the Prodigal Son, for nearly
every wealthy family has specimen Of
its own and needs no enlightenment on the
subject. Divide the subject into FIVE
heads.
1st. Speak of the calf and inform your
hearers how the calf should be fatted.-
Give him all the milk of two cows, ex-
cept a tin cup full now and then for the
baby. Here you can make some learned
remarks about the milky way, the belt of
Jupiter and Lord Ross telescope.
ed. He Killed the fatted calf, but not
only the Scriptures. but Josephus and
Fathers are profoundly silent on the ques-
ton how he killed it As this was more
than thousand years before the inven-
ton of gunpowder or firearms, the pre-
sumption is that the old man didn't shoot
the crittur, but pitched into him with a
club-for clubs are very ancient institu-
tons. ....
Sd. Explain why the old gentleman.
instead of calf, didn't kill shoat-
make one horse barbecue, and have
regular time of it.
4th. Inform your hearers what the word
calf means when used in Greek, Latin,
Choctaw or Lockjaw.
9Th. Dwell pathetically upon the mel
encholy degeneracy of the present age.
evinced by the fact that fathers now.a-
days instead of treatings q runaway son
to 'fatted calf, are pretty apt to to treat
him to ''hasty plate of SOUP" made
from the hide Of the calf's maternal pro-
genitor.
Conclusion. in little geology;
talk learnedly about "grapewade" and
Transformation conglomerate." Wind
up the discourse with most eloquent,
affecting appeal to the consciences of
your hearers on the Durham breed of cat
tie. ...

We last week had occasion to 70 to
McGregor, and we we're really surprised at
the rapid improvements which had taken
place since our last visit. Where, then,
nothing but bold bluffs greeted the eye,
may now be seen rows ofstately buildings,
occupied by enterprising business men,
There are several new firms located at this
point, who are intending to bring on large
stocks for the spring trade. -
N. Il NJ. RAILROAD, AND McGRreoR,
Sr. PkrERRs AND NJ. RIVER RAILROAD
The completion Of the NJ. l. N. r. R. will
open anew era, not only to Nc Gregor, but
70 the whole North Of Iowa. We will
then have direct communication with the
Chicago and Milwsudee markets, afford
ing direct outlet to the lakes, which win
tend further to enrich our already prosper
GUS County. This road is detsined to be
one Of the principal throughfares from the
great chain of inland seas to the Missis-
sippi, and its final completion will be JOY
fully hailed, by al who have tho interest
Of the North of Iowa at heart. New mar
kets will at once be opened for the pro-
ducts of our rich and fertile prairies,
thereby enriching the producers, who as
q class. may be set down as the "solid
men" of our State.
But, will it stop here I? No! "West-
ward the Star of Empire wends its way"
The "Iron Steed" will soon cross the
Mississippi, and its shrill whistle and heavy
tramp will be heard on our fertile prairies,
as it with lighting speed pursues its on
ward course to the rich valley of the
Missouri, leaving wealth and prosperity
in its wake. Land now in state ofnature,
will be made to yield abundant and fruit
full harvests. Villages and towns will
spring up; and where but afew years
since nought but the yell Of tho panther,
and the savage war whoop of the red man
was heard, the ear will be greeted with
the merry hum of the spindle and the
sound of the hammer of the busy artisan.

CR1NoL1sE IN RHYME-BY THE PRrN-
TER's DEvIL-A Son OF THE OLD MAN.
A lady with crinoline was walking down
the street-her feathers futtered in the
air--her hoops stuck out feet. She
walked the earth as if she felt of it she
was no part, and proudly did she step
along for pride was in her heart. She did
not see curly dog which walked close
by her side, all save the bushy tail Of
which her crinoline did hide. His tail
the dog with pleasure shook--it Huttered
in the wind, and from the lady crinoline
stuck out foot behind. A crowd the
tail did espy, as it waved to fro, and like a
rudder seemed to point which way the
maid should 60. The curly dog right
pleased was he such quarters he had got,
and walked beside the lady in kind of
doggish trot. Each step the lady now did
take, served to increase her train, while
those who followed in her wake roared out
with might and main. Some held their
sides and laughed so hard, and many fairly
cried. and many even still confess that
day they'd "like to died." But still the
lady sailed along, in crinoline and pride.
unmindful of the crowd behind, or dog
close by her side. But soon an other
dog espied the tail which Auttered so free
it SO provoked his doggish ire he could
not let it be-but with sharp ferocious
growl, for battle strait he went, and meath
the lady's crinoline both dogs were quick
ly pent. They fought 'tis said one hour
or more-the lady nothing knew-but
with her head erect sailed on, and did her
way pursue. Some say she never would
have known at all about the fight, had not
one dog mistook and gave her climb" an
awful bite. But since that day I've heard
it said, the lady ne'er was seen upon the
street, with SO much pride-and sxci

this manner best convince them that we are
their friends and their enemies. In order
to accomplish this object it will be necessa-
ry, according 10 the estimate of the War
Department, 10 raise four additional regi-
ments; and this earnestly recommend to
Congress. At the present moment of the
depression in the avenue Of the country,
am sorry 10 be obliged 10 recommend such
a measure; but feel confident of the sup
port of Congress, cost what it may, in sup
pressing the instruction, and in restoring
and maintaining the sovereignty of the con-
sitution and laws over the Territory of
Utah.
/ recommend to Congress the establish
ment Of a territorial government over
Arizona, incorporating with it such por-
tons Of New Mexico as they may deem ex-
pedient. Ineed scarcely adduce arguments
in support of this recommendation. We
are bound to protect the lives and the pro-
perry ofour citizens inhabitng Arizona, and
these are now without any efficient protec.
ton. Their present number is already con-
siderable, and is rapidly increasing, not
withstanding the disadvantages under which
they labor, Besides, the proposed territory
is believed 10 be rich in mineral and agri-
cultural resources, especially in silver and
copper, The mails Of the United States to
California are now carried over it through
out its whole extent, and this route is
known to be the nearest, and believed to be
the best TO the Pacific.
