The Inauguration.

The Inauguration ceremonies of President
Lincoln's second term took place at Washing
ton on Saturday last. The inaugural address
s. sort and retrospective. Few foresaw the
magnitude of the war and events have forced
a policy which neither party could have anti
cipated. While the war is deprecated, the de-
termination is expressed to fulfil all the obiga-
tions imposed by it, until it pleases Heaven to
put and end to it. Mr. Lincoln evidently re-
CARDS himself only as passive instrument ii
the hands of higher power, to accomplish {
moral as well as a political purpose in th'
events now in progress.
We have President who will be faithful
to the end, let what will betide. Let him b
sustained with the same fidelity.

do what he could to make other people happy. |
The language OfcOmplaint seldom escaped him, |
and doubtless this life long habit asserted itself
so strongly IN his death-sickness as to cause
him to lay far less stress on the intensity his
disease than others would, and hence his friends
were taken by surprise that a sickness which
he complained so little of should terminate ia
tally,
| He was unostentatiOus- little selfshness
was there in him that he seldom made himself
the subject of conversation. He put on no
airs, but was plain and simple in all his bear
ings and surroundings.
He was punctual in his engagements, broad
and progressive in his views, loyal to the
church and to the country, prompt in his deci-
sioRs when the time came for him to show
which side he was on, aud firm as a rock when
that decision was taken.
1t could not be expected that a man who
took such decided part in the affairs of life

MISSIONARY ANNIvERsARY.--The exercises
at the NJ. L. Church on Sunday afternoon last,
on the occasion of the anniversary of the Mis-
sionary Society of the Sunday School were very
interesting, and witnessed by very large au-
dience. The exercises were commenced by
singing by the school, assisted by the choir, af-
ter wich Rev. I. S. Williams offered prayer.
After another tune from the school, DIR. Cooke
made few remarks in reference to the occa.
sion, when the presentation Of the reports took
place. Each report was accompanied with g
beautiful device and an appropriate motto.
Many of the former showed much artistic abil-
ity in their design, and much skill in construc-
ton, Upwards of twenty classes were repre-
sented, The sum realized was s22l-nearly
$lO0 in excess of last year. The method has
proved the most successful mcals ever intro
duced for raising missionary money. The
above sum added to that contributed by the
congregation in January last makes the total
collection of the church for the year over S4O0.

The Funeral of Governor Cannon.

The mortal remains of Governor Cannon
were deposited in their last resting place in the
cemetery of the M L. Church at Bridgeville
on Friday afternoon last, and thither from all
parts of the State q number Of personal and
political friends bent their way with sOrrowing
hearts. Shades of gloom and sadness were de-
picted on the countenances of from one thou
sand to fifteen hundred persons present to wit
ness and unite in the last respect tortheir late
and lamented friend. The town Of Bridgeyine
was emphatically in mourning. Every place
of business was closed and the door of most
every dwelling in town draped in mourning.
The pulpit, gallery front, &c. Of the church
were hung in black, and on every side in the
community we're evidences of sadness and re-
gret such as is but seldom If ever seen so feel
ingly manifested.
On the arrival of the train the most Of hi
friends proceeded to the residence of the de
