Mr.. Buchanan accompanied Mr..
Lincoln to the Hall and there took his
farewell leave of him, expressing the
hope, i'll cordial terms, that his admin
istration might prove q happy and
prosperous one.
The Ex-Presidcnt then retired 10
the residence Of District Alto ncy
Ould, where he will temporarily SO.
)jomn until his departure from tic city
tomorrow evening.
On the arrival of the procession at
the White House, the Marshals of the
day were successfully introduced,
when the line being formed, the people
rushed to congratulate the new
President. The rush was exceeding
}ly great.
Thus ended for the day time, the
Inauguration ceremonies.
Though the enthusiasm was not BY
any means equal to that manifested on
former similar occasions, everything
passsd of: quietly. The amplcst civil
and military preparations were made
by the municipal authorities and Gen.
Scott to provide for any emergency
that Nigh arise. During the day the
military patrols were OH duty all over
the city, and the greatest vigilance
was cnjoined upon and observed by
the regulars.
Every available spot was black with
human beings clinging to the rails,
mounting the fences, and climbing
trees. On the outer edge concoursc
OF volunteer soldiers halted, and stool
at rest during the ceremony of the in-
auguration. A great number of flags
were flying, and as the sun s:one
brightly on the gay dresses Of the
ladies, and the Stars and stripes, and
the uniforms and gli1tcring weapons
OF the soldicry, the scene was exceed
ingly animated.
Photographers were on the ground
to take an impression of the scene.
The inauguration ball last night for
which most extensive preparations had
been made was great success. 1t
was very fully attended and passed off
in manner satisfactory to all. MI.

and subsequently some of the party,
including Senator Douglas and Mrs.

WAsu1SGroS, March 4.
Soldiers were stationed on House
tops, on the line of the procession to
act as sharp shooters in case of riotou,
proceedings.
Several hundred visitors from New
York, called on Gen. Scott and the
President this evening. Great num-
bers left the city on the evening train.
The opening sentiment of the In
jaugural Address: "Fcllow citizens of
the United States," was the signal for
|prolongued applause-thc Union sen.
timent thereof, striking a tender chord
in the popular breast. Again, when,
after defining certain actions to be his
duty, he said and II shall perform it,
there was a spontaneous and uproarous
manifestation Of applause, which coE-
tlnued for some moments. Every
sentence which indicated firmncss in
the Presidential chair, and every
statement of conciliatory nature,
was cheercd to the echo, while his ap-
|peal to his dissatisfied fellow country
men, desiring them to reflect calmly,
and not hurry into false steps, was
welcomed by one and all hcartially
and cordially. The closing sentence
upset the water posts Of many of his
hearers, and at this point alone did the
melodious voice of the President elect,
falter. Judge fancy did not remove
his eyes from Mr.. Lincoln during
entire delivery. Mr.. Douglss, who
stood by the ri ght of the railing, was
apparently satisfied, as he exclaimed
(sotto voce) "Good;'' "t',ats so;'' 'no
coercion," and 'good again" Judge
fancy was the first person who shook
hands with Mr.. Lincoln and was
followed by Mr.. Buchanan and Messrs.
Chase, Douglas and a host of others.
a southern gentleman seized him by
hand and said, "God bless you my
dear sir; you will save u.s." to which,
Mr.. Lincoln replied, 81 am very glad
that what have said, causes pleasure
to southerners, because then know
they are pleased with what is right"
On the steps were Gov. King and
many influential New Workers;
Governors Hoppin and Sprague, OF
Rhode Island; Buckingham, Of Con-
necticut, and the entire Cabinet of
the outgoing administration.
