CHICAGO, March 5.
The inaugural Of Mr.. Lincoln was pub.
lished in extras last evening. The Post
(neutraD regards it, with the exception Of
few lneiegancies Of expression, as highly
Respectable paper, and infers from the gen.
eral tone Of the address that his Adminstra.
ton will not prevent speedily an honorable
adjustment Of the present national troubles.
The Times (Dem.) says the whole seems
to be loose, di.jointed rambling affair
The general purport Of the message forces
the conclusion that Mr.. Lincoln has resolved
TO force his doctrines upon the country at
the point Of the bayonet, and concludes BY
saying our own conviction is that the Union
is lost beyond hope.
The IT bune lKep.) is quite cure that no
document can be found among American
State raE ers, embodying sounder wisdom,
and higher patriotism, breathing kindier
feelings 10 oil sections Of country, or stamped
with finer purposes to maintain the Union
ard the Constitution invioIate, than the ln-
sugural address Of President Lincoln.

NAsHIN0TON, MarCn D.
The In suguration Ball last night was q
great cue ,ess, was very fully attended, and
passed Of satisfactorily to all. Mr.. Lincoln
and fami y, MIR. Hamlin and family, Doug
las, and ether distinguished persons entered
the room at 10 O'Clock, and after brief
promenenc received tho congratulations OF
those who chose to be presented. Soon af
forwards The Presidential party proceeded to
the supper room. Subsequently Mr.. Douglas
and Mrs. Lincoln danced quadrille.
New Yarkers numbering at least 500 pro-
ceeded this q. m. TO the White House to
call uron the President. Mr.. Lincoln
came cut. Stewart l.. Wadfosd introduced
the party. The President made q brief speech.
At the conclusion he was greeted with a
hearty round Of cheering, after which sew
eral gentlemen shook hands with him, but
he found 1t necessary to break away from
the company.
The delegation then reformed, and
marched to the residence OF Hon. Simon
Cameron. who appeared in answer to their
| calls, and addressed them briefly.
The COMPANY then proceeded to pay their
respects to Hon. Andy johnson Of Tenn, Al
the St. Charles Hotel. lie came out and
mndo an eloquent and earnest Union speech
endorsing the Presidents inaugural with
out qualification. They also called on Gen
/ Scott.

A new Agitation n Charleston.

The rebels begin to CANVASS with an air Of
seriousness the suggestion whether the Fed
eral Government will not embrace in it's plan
for reinforcing Fort Sumter, the landing OF
troops on Jarvis Island, with the view Of at
lacking the batteries In the rear. This con-
tingency has not been thought OF up to this
time. Military men here do not disguise that
in pushing the Federal Government to &C.
cept this ns actual warfare, in it's length and
breadth, this method OF reinforcing Fort
Sumter will be rendered an extreme proba-
biliiy; and the operations may so widen as
to include the city OF Charleston, produces a
state indicative Of new idea and the sense
OF an unpleasant possibility. Would it not
be interesting to see this rebellious old city,
where there is more actual despotism than
ever at any time existed on this continent
the hot-bed of the great crime Of destroying
this Union, in the hands OF Gen. Scott-the
rebels scattered-some Of them visited with
the doom due to traitors everywhere-the

From Special Correspondent Of the Eve. Post.


WAsHISGroN, Feb. &c.
The reports Of Lincon's inclinations, az
given out IN conversation, are colored by the
personal feelings Of the narrators. One of
these reports makes him shy that no plan OF
compromise yet suggested satisfied him.
Gov. Sprague and Judge Ames, the latter a
Peace Commissioner Of Rhode Island, asked
a special interview, which was granted
They arc snid to have urged Mr.. Lincoln's
assent to tina Guthrie proposition. Mr.. Lin
coln objected, on the ground that it recog-
nizsd slavery in the Territories, and he vac
elected TO keep slavery out Of the Territories
Judge Ames then reminded the President
elsc, that the proposition, ms amended by
Rcverdy johnson, only applied to .prcsentn
Territory. Lincoln insisted that it would
BY fair Inference, apply TO future ncquisi-
ton, and asked Ames il he could get the
Southern men in the conference to ADOPT 90
amendments that this recognition OF slavery
shall not apply to future acquisitions Of Ter
ritory.
To this Judge Ames 10 reported to have
answered, .probably not" Lincoln was
then reminded that Rhode leland voted for
him chiefly as M old-ine Whig. This, be
remarked loosely, was the worst reason bio
had vet heard assigned for bis election
Rhode leland, observed one Of the gentle
men, is 4 little behind the other Eastern
States on the slavery question. Lincoln re.
piled to this assertion OF Rhode Islands po-
lisical back wardness by an anecdote Of .
Sunday School in Connecticut, where boy,
in answer to question respecting the Attri-
butes Ut the Deity, answered that they bad
three Gois IN Uonpecticut, out In Rhode
Island, where be came from, thsy had no
God at all. Az the Commissioners retired,
Mr.. Lincoln said perhaps he had been too
unreserved, and they might consider the re-
marks as unsaid. sWe wish we could" was
their response, as they left the room. This
story II part Of the current anecdotes OF
"Old Abe" and has produced quite scnsa-
ton here. | cannot vouch for the details OF
this report, but believe il TO DO in tho main
correct.

cuisines IN Cairo.

Last Saturday there were one hundred and
eighty loaded freight cars on the levee in
front Of the city, being the arrivals Of the
day previous. Besides this enormous guam
tity OK freight, the depot was full, both our
large wharf. boats were full, and large
amounts were stacked upon the wharf. We
are told by q gentleman in tho forwarding
business that there were no less than three
thousand tons of freight here for New Or.
leans and points intermediate.
Notwithstanding the fact that during the
past ten days the Mississippi has contained
sufficient water to allow the largest class
boats to come out from St. Louis fully load
ed, there has been 20 porceptibe diminu,ion
in the receipts by railroad. The whole vast
interior of our State seems to be full OF sur
plus produce now seeking outlet by the Hi.
nois Central. As an evidence Of this we
need only remark, that the amount of money
collected by the RAILROAD agent hero for
freight alone, during the past thirty days, il
$l65, 600; and that il the business OF the
coming thirty days continues rs it has com
menced, the receipts from that source here
will reach over two hundred thousand dol

j. W. Furney writes to his paper from
Washington, relative to bis impressions OF
Lincoln, as follows:
have at last had good look at our new
President. He is about the length anti build
OF Henry Clay, though not 80 graceful. lie
has the same large mouth-tho same long
arms the same tall form. do not recall
any body, now, who resembles him more
than your fellow citizen, Samuel V. Merrck,
the great engine builder in the First Con-
gressiona district. Indeed one 10 fair
picture Of the other, only Merrick's hair is
light and Linooln's dark, and the new Pres
ident is not 80 heavy in frame as your Phil

easily and frankly, and without the exhibi-
ton Of the slightest nervousness. de be-

embarrassing. Not to speak Of the earnest
appetite OF the great body Of his party for
an adjustment Of our political troubles, be
sees six or seven States out Of the Union,
ana others threatening 10 60; anu 70 THESE
vexations are added financial complications
wholly unprecedented and startling. Then
come the combinations and conflicts between
aspirants for Office, high and low, and the
certainty that the usual heart-burnings will
be the sequel. Lincoln means we'll, and |
think will try to do we'll. lie unquestona-

at the hands Of the people as indeed any
other man would deserve who proposed 10
