The day was only partially observed as a
holiday An the Departments and pnblic
+ institutions we're closed The House had
adjourned over, but the Senate adhered tc
a lis duties. Much Of the intended military
!. display was marred by the Presidents char.

Flying Artillery, had been ordered and an.
nounced, but was countermauded this morn.
ing by Mr. Buchanan, for pretended polIi.
cal considerations. When that fact became
known, portion Of the Cabinet and other

the couutermand was revoked.

The arrangements for Mr.. Lincoln'S inou.
guration are more perfect and we'll organic
cd than on any former occasion. Senator
Foot, as Chairman of the committe, devised
the plan, which will give security aud

Fort Sumter
The recent rumors Of meditatcd attack on
fort Sumter are discrcdited. No such at
tempt would be made without the consent

signal for general dispersion of the troops
and the abandonment Of unnecessary defenses
which have practically closed Charleston

or other questions, it is more likely to occur
at the mouth of the Mississippi than else.
where Louisiana has assumed arbitrary
control of that river, by only admitting con

Mr. Hamlin arrived tonight, and is quart.

For RoadaH
Five companies of Government troop:
are stationed at Fort Randall, on the Upper
Missouri. 1t is aScertained that Mr.. Foyt

tiOu to be sold, leaving less than enough tc
move one company, so as to prevent thi
force frcm being called into requisition whe
his reasonable conspiracy eliminated il
