The Inauguration.

WASHINGTON, Saturday, March 4.-Pres-
ident Lincoln was inaugurated at II o'clock
noon, to- day. Tue weather was clear and
beautiful, but on account of the recent rains
the streets were filled with mud. Despite
this fact the crowd that assembled was ex
edngly large, and thousands proceeded
to the Capitol to witness the Inauguration
ceremonies. Theprocession moved from
Sixteenth street and Pennsylvania avenue
at Ii O'Clock Pres ident Lincoln had been
at the Capitol all day, and consequently did
not accompany the procession to the scene
ofthe ceremonies. Two regiments Of the
Invalid corps, squadron of cavalry, a bat
terry Of artillery and two regiments Of color
ed troops formed the escort.
The mayor and councimen of Washing
ton, councilmeu from Baltimore, the fire
men of this city, and the hremen from Phil
adclphia, the Goodwill, Franklin and Perse-
verance companies, each company drawing
its engine along, were also in the procession.
Among the benevolent societies present
were lodges of Odd Fellows and Masons, in

The News.

The news from Shermans army contin :
ues to be of an indefinite character The
rebel papers are either profoundly ignorant
of bis movements, as none of them agree in
locating him, or else they are purposely con-
cealing the particulars of his march In the
meantime it is the opinion of Gen Grant,
and the same obtains credence in military
circles that Schofed has succeeded in eff
fecting junction with bin at or near Fay
etteville, N. q. Florence, S. c. by one of
Sherman's thanking operations, was captured
and occupied by our cavalry.
A dispatch summarized from rebel narra-
tive, gives detailed description of Sher-
mans occupation of Columbia, S. G. Apart
from the interest which attaches to it, as
showing how complete was the destruction
of the rebel capital, the tribute paid to our
splendid Western army is remarkable, com
ing as it does, from rebel paper. No plum
dering or marauding occurred. The army
was under strict discipline, and marched as
if it had been out only a day. instead of
weeks No private buildings were 70 bbed
and no ladies were insulted. The men were
in the best of spirits, in good condition.
looked well and were we'll fed and clothed.
This is the rebel COMMUNICATION. That such
an army, rejoicing in the prestige of success
an army that has never yet been defeated,
can meet with misfortune is well nigh an
impossibility.
The nomination of Hon. Hugh McCuIloch
as Secretary of the Treasury has been con-
firmed by the Senate, and the new Secreta-
ry has entered upon his duties. The confir
nation will give very general satsf elton.
The first news received from the Shenan-
doah in relation to Sheridan engagement
with Early was erroneous in the statement
that the rebel army was captured 1t was
defeat cd and driven out of Charlottesville
but succeeded in making its escape after
losing some prisoners At last accounts
Sheridan was moving with the main body
of his army upon Linchburg the supply de-
pot of the rebel forces in the works around
Richmond.
Admiral Dahlgrens official report, al
though it does not furnish any details of
material difference, fully confirms the pre-
vious announcements of the capture and oc-
cupation of Georgetown. S. G., and the ad-
jacent fort, mounting fifteen heavy guns
