WASHINGTON, Monday March 4 lc0i.
The Inauguration passed of brilliantly. The
morning was cloudy, with a chilling wind, but
the afternoon was bright and sunny, showing
everything in its most cheerful aspect. The
congregation upon and before the east front of
the Capitol was immense, larger than ever be-
fore. heard the number estimated as high as
100 900. | think there could not have been less
than 80. 900. OF course, a large portion OF them
were citizens of Maryland aud Virginia, who
Listened ~ the Inaugural with the profoundest
attention. Mr.. Lincoln's voice was remarkably
clear and penetrating, his manner deliberate and
impressive, so that ] think fully 10000 persons
heard him throughout. ] am sure this mani
festo will make deep impression on the public
mind Of the Slave States, but especially OF the
Border States. Every sentence indicating pur-
pose TO sustain aud MAINTAIN the Union evoked
enthusiastic plaudits. The ten thousand threats
that be should be a,sa.snated before he should
take the oath did not mpel him to make
gesture implying fear or hsse, and he stood
forth q cons spicuous mark for the villains who
had threatened TO shoot him as he read. Mr.
Buchanan looked old and somewhat enieebled,
bat bore himself With complaisance and dignity
WASHINGTON Monday, March a. lo6l.
The Inaugural il received here with very gen.
eral approval, except by SecessoniSts' who stig
matize it A. a declaration of war in the Seced-
ing States.
WAsmsCTOS, Monday, March g. 1861.
We have had the loyeliest sort of day for
the Inauguration, aud everything mas passed Oft
harmoniously. All the arrangements Tor every
contingency were complete.
The Inaugural seems 70 be iayorably received,
though Southern men say it throws down the
gauntlet to the South, and demands submission
under penalty of war. }. $ p

The Inauguration ceremonial passed Oft with
great success, all the appointments being in eI-
celleut keeping and the programme admirably
arranged by Senator Foot. As q spectacle,
nothing finer wa. ever witnessed from the east-
ern p1rtico than that presented to-day. The
multitude present Is yariously estimated from
5000 to $4,000; there was not q sign of dis
order from first To last The tone OF ProPrety
and becoming interest which peryadcd the vast
assembly impressed every spectator who had the
opportunity Of overlooking it.
The Inaugural was delivered in clear and
emphatic voice, which never ialtered throughout,
and reached nearly 10 the outskirts Of the vast
throng. 1t was frequently interrupted with ap-
paule, but most yehemently at the point where
he announced his inHexible purpose " execute
the laws and discharge hls whole constitutional
duty Other passages elected warm expressions
Of popular favor.
At the close, Judge Tsney administered the
oath. and Mr. Lincoln repeated it with much
solem,ty after hun. They then shook hands,
and the Members Of Congress and otner PRIV
ileged persons on the stand rushed forward 10
offer their congratulations. Alter exchanging
these ciylities for some minutes, the procession
was reornod and the new President conducted
~ the White House.
There is but one opinion in al political circles
NJ to the ability directness candOr and purpose
Of the Inaugural. AS state paper, 1t lar e1-
ceeds the expectations of hls friends, and ut
once setties any passing doubt concerning his
success as -Magstrate. Every word OF 1t
has the ring of true Iuetal, and no suspicion has
crossed any mind at all familiar with Mr.. Lin
coins original mode Of thought and expression III
regard to lie inspiration. No other hand touched
il. In the whole history OF the Government no
Inaugural ever delivered Is likely to be more
universally read, or 10 produce ProlouDier ini-
preston. Not syllable of dissent mas
been uttered among the Republicans eoh-
seryatncs who sppiehended toe strong eA-
preston, felt tlrsir nerves breeed aud we're
sxultant over its decisive bat proper tohe'
Everybody lrft the ground realizing that at hast
there was q man IN the Presidency who was
honest true, aud courageous. Southern men iIAe
Wigfal regard ii as significant OF coercion' ana
have already tcIegrapbed to Jefferson DAVIS ana
the leading SecessiOIists to prepare Tor wal

Many of the prominent Union men ut the ooutu
admit that be could pursue 10 other course ana
believe that tho alternative of peace or war Is
fairly presented. 1t may serve 10 prihg the
eouatry to proper appreciation OF the dangers
