MOVEMENTS OF Ma. LIScoLN.-The President
elect visited the Capitol yesterday afternoon about
four O'Clock, and returned to Willards' between
nve and six He wes closely occupied during the
evening with visitors. Gen. Scott had protracted
interview with him. He was also waited upon
by the joint committee Of the two houses Of Con-
gress, and officially notified Of bis election, TO
which he responded briefly, accepting the posi-
zion. Mr.. Hamlin, the Vice President elect was
also waited on by the committee on the same er-
rand. During the afternoon and evening, Mrs
Lincoln also received large number Of visitors
TO-DAY.
Probably the hungriest looking crowd with
which the President elect has been bored since
his arrival here, hung about the portals of his
rooms this morning, from daylight up to IL O'Clock
a. m, when the great soughtafter announced his
determination TO devote the next twe hours to the
of his exhausted energies The anxious crowd
to-day, partook not little Of the Dutch element
local and outside. The solicitous INQUIRIES %
to whether Mr.. Lincoln would be visible at
any time during the dav, poured in thick and
fast upon those stationed there to preserve proper
decorum, and who bad their hands full of cards
and heads full OF messages for several mortal
hours When 1t became generally known and
believed beyond peradv .nture that the President
elect would only be en- during the morning by
those with whom be bad appointments, the leu
.onic .no hausea pplicants for subordinate places
under the lncom ing administration, heaved sighs
OF olt'er osap continent, and tbrustiag their vo-
luminous pf ,itons with jerk into their pockets,
sahosed ,uicker. Several Of these applicants have
king regular visits 70 the vlclklty OF pdflof
NO for several days past, with no result beyond
th e which awaited them this morning. Some OF
.oe aspirsnts for more important positions than
these above al udsd 10, have been dancing syste
matte attendance at Mr.. Lincoln's threshold since
SATURDAY., but have not thus far been permitted TO
bask in the sunshine Of his presence.
Among those with whom Mr. Lincoln had
business appointments this morning prior to his
breakfast hour, was Hon. John Bell, Of Tenn,
who remained a considerable time in consultation
with him; and Nathan Sergeant, "Oiiver Old
SCHOOL, Of yore. A number OF NJ G Is from Penn
sylvania were admitted to brief conference.
Just before the order TO close the doors given
and as they entered, the efforts of an exceedingly
anxious inquirer after truth expected to be pro-
mulgated by the incoming powers, to 'ring inn
with them and pass as one Of the crowd, afforded
no little quiet Amusement TO the less interested
by ISLANDERS.
