MIR. Evelyn Evans benefitand the tragedy
of Hamlet drew large and attentive audi
ence to the Opera House on Saturday night.
Seldom has the house been more crowded.
Mr.. Evans sustained the part of Hamlet
with credit, and in some passages, his rendi-

performance of the play was as whole
creditable to all who had part in it. Mr..
Evans at the close was called before the
curtain amid rapturous applause.
Those popular iavorites, Miss Sallie st.
Clair and Mr.. Charles Barras, will be greet

1naugnration Ceremonics.

WASHINGTON, March 4-President Lin
coin was inauguratedl at II o'clok noon to-
day. The weather was clear and beautiful,
but on account of recent rains the streets
were filled with mud. Despite this fact the
crowd that assembled was exceedingly
large, and thousands proceeded to the Cap
itol to witness the inauguration ceremonies.
The first dispatch stated that the process
sion formed while heavy rain was falling. j
The procession moved from Sixteenthstreet
and Pennsylvania Avenue at II o'clock
President Lincoln had been at the Capitol
all day, and consequently did not accom-
pany the procession to the scene of the cere-
monies. Two regiments of the Invalid
Corps, a squadron of cavalry, battery of
artillery and four companies OF colored
troops, formed the military escort. The
Mayor and Councilmen of Washington,
Councilmen from Baltimore, the firemen of
this city and from Philadelphia, the Good
will, Franklina and Perseverance companies,
each company drawing its engine along,
were also in the procession. Among the
benevolent societies present were lodges
of Odd Fellows and Masons, includ-
ing cOlored lodge of the latter fra
ternity. The public and principal private
buildings on Pennsylvania avenue were
galy decorated with flags, and every
window was thronged with faces to catch
glimpse of the President elect.
The oath to protectand maintain the Con-
stitution of the United States was admins
tered to Mr.. Lincoln by Chief Justice Chase,
In presence of thousands who witnessed the
Interesting ceremony, while standing in
mud almost knee deep. The inaugural
was then read, upon which national salute
was fired. The procession then again mov-
ed up PENNSYLVANIA avenue, the President
being conveyed in an open barouch. Seated
with him was his son and Senator Foster,
of the committee of Arrangements. The
President was escorted to the White House,
after which the procession separated.
Everything passed off ina most quiet and
orderly manner, and although thousands
participated in the ceremonies not one acci-
dent occurred to mar the pleasures of the
day.

Bills Passed by COngress-T'he Sem
ate Chamber Crowded with Wis.,


itOrs.
WAsHINGToN, March 4-The Civil bill as
originally reported contained large appro-
priations for the coast survey, light house
established, and other objects of a miscella-
neous character. This being considered an
omnibus bill, the House added new features
and the Senate weighed it down with heavy
appropriations, including ut least four mil
lions of dollars for reimbursing Missouri
for the expense of calling out and subsist-
ing the State militia, and apprOpriating 81
100000 or $S00,000to repay the money adj
vanced by Pennsylvania in calling out her
militia to assist in repelling the invasion of
Gen. Lee. The Senate struck out of the
bill a material amendment, inserted at the
instance of Mr.. Davis, of Maryland, name
ly, that 10 person shall be tried by court
martial or military commission in any
State or territory where the courts of the
United States are open, except persons act
ually mustered and commissioned, or ap-
pointed otherwise by law in the military
or naval service, or rebel enemies charg-
ed with being spies. When the disa-
greeing votes of the two Houses were
sent to conference committee the
managers compromised all their differences
excepting the amendment of Mr.. Davis,
which it was proposed should be acted upon
separately. Many of the members of the
House, however, preferred losing the bill
to surrendering the clause in question, and
so by dilatory motions they defeated it.
All other general appropriation bills were
passed, and also bills to establish a bureau
for refugees and freedmen, to authorize the
coinage of 3 cent pieces of copper and nick
ell, and to prohibit the issue of fractional
currency under cents. The Bankrupt and
the Illinois and Niagara Ship Canal bills
were lost in the Senate, while the bill to
pay extra compensation to the builders
of iron-clads was also lost. Nothing was
finally done with the Camden Railroad
Company bill, the House bill remaining
in the Senate clogged with amendments.
The floor of the Senate Chamber was
crowded to-day to its utmost by Senators,
members elect and ex-members of Con-
gress, Justices of the Supreme Court, army
and naval officers, foreign Ministers in full
dress, Governors of States and Territories,
all the members of the Cabinet and other
distinguished personages. The President
entered the Senate Chamber after the Vice
President had delivered his address, and
while the retiring Vice President was ad-
ministering to him the oath to support and
defend the Constitution, and also the oath
of allegiance, the gallares were densely
filled, thousands of strangers having come
hither to-day to witness the ceremonies
Tonight the Executive Mansion was
thrown open for public reception. The
pressure was immense.

The Mexican COMMUNICATIVE Chief
Promises the Recognition of tlle
COnfederacy.

New YORK, March 5.-The New Orleans
Bee OF the 2Gth ult. publishes private let
ter from Matamoras, Jan. 80, stating: Up
70 this time the Mexican and Confederate
authorities have been simply polite and
friendly. Gems. Mejea and Slaughter hav-
ing crossed the river in civil dress, dined
with each ether; but yesterday Gen. Mejea
and staff, in full uniform, entered Browns
vile, where Gen, Slaughter awaited their
visit with his whole command under arms,
and gave the visitors an artillery salute of
Il guns. After dinner the Confederate flag
was raised and the Mexican General and
staff removed their caps and saluted it, the
former making speech, in which he said
the Confederaey would soon be recognized,
and concluded by inviting the Confederates
to grand banquet at Matamoras, promising
to also salute their flag with 81 guns.
+ The Importance of this affair consists
mainly in the fact that Gen. Mejea is COM
mander-in-chiefo of the Mexican armies, and
is therefore the next parsonage to the En-
peror. i..... f i5os. .55.. \ ....,..,.

Army of the Potomac.

/ HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoToMAc,
March 3-N othiDg of importance is trans
piring in this Department. Deserters con-
tinue to come into our lines in large num-
bers, fifty-six having arrived to-day, near
ly all bringing their guns and equipments
with them, for which they are to be paid.
The number Of muskets received from de-
serters since February I'd is 240, all OF them
in good order. In addition to the usual
stories told by these men they say that two
companies from each regiment of several
brigades have been detached from the army
defending Petersburg and sent to hunt up
deserters, thousands of whom are said to be
scattering through the country, endeavor-
ing to reach their homes. This Is particu-
larly the case with the North Carolina and
South Carolina troops, who, sick and tired
of the contest, are anxious to join their fam
lilies, now within our lines. These men are
principally veterans of three our four years
service, and many of them are those lately
exchanged, all of them being refused fur
loughs and not paid for long time, nor any
prospect of getting any soon, they took
French leave.
A few days ago sergeant was sent out
in charge of a team and six men to get
wood. The men were unarmed, the SER
geant was armed with revolver anda
sword. After getting outside the lines the
mules apparently ran away, but the SER
geaut guided them straight for our lines,
and the whole party arrived safely. They
received for the mules seven hundred dol
lars, which was divided equally. nrao
