tailed acconnt Of the great Presidential progress,

fhe party commencedto assemble at the appointed
rendezvous nsthe capital. It was Indictment Au.
gust weather, the mist gathering in unpleasant
proximity, and the atmosphere being altogether
somewhat bleak. Al the designated hour of de-
parfure every preparation was completed, and
just as the sun broke forth in all his summer
eAugence the train bore its animated freight from
the first starting point of the journey There
was no special train; the cars bearing the 4Presf-
dents party being separated from the others
merely by = couple Of baggage vans. The loco.
motive was decorated with flags and bouquets,
exhibiting gay and attractive appearance. Both
zhe official and nonofficial portions Of the train
were densely crowded, but tile arrangements
being under the direction Of the military superin-
1enlent Of railroads, were very connections.
Dniy three members Of the cabinet accompanied
the President Secretaries Seward and Welles
and Postmaster General Randall; the latter rem
1ieman proceeding only as far as New York,
