Thera were three of marshals on act bring those of tha procession propor, one act the marshals of the several Uultd states districts, and another marehals representing fetatoa. It waa Intended that the procession should more at twelve from the White House and escort the President ko the Capitol; but it waa found at that hour that tne Proaident, who bad been all the morning at the Capitol tinning bills, had not yet returned to the White House. Marshal Lam on aad his assistants, however, cacorted iirs. Lincoln out from tho White House, and drove rapidly towards the Capitol. The pcoocesion moved on immediately, and there was at the same time a general move of tho mass or oach crowdln, rorward to catch a glimpse of the President, and, with tho cheering of the crowd, the admirablo music of tho and tne general excitetnent of the scone, thu procession moved through Fifteenth street and again up the avenue.

As the procession passed down the part of thu avtnus leads directly from the Treasury building to the CapltoL the crowd on ctther side had become very dense In the street. Not a spot oa the pavement that oouild command the viow waa varant, while against the walla of the houses all the usual artiiiccs of extemporired platforms were seen. In the shop windows there was a beautiful display of the same nature that processions on show us. Higher up, the pwrlor WlndMM balconies, the windows of saond, third and feorSKories.

While tfie pruoesaion was forming at the White House Ud marching up Pennsylvania avenue, crowds of people waded through the mud to the eastern entronco of the Capitol. Over the main ontrance of the bulliling was erected a very large.and maselve broad and capacious. Upon this re placed chairs and a readtog dtwk; but the rain caused their apocdy removal. Unee of soldiers, in blue orercoaU and mud trowaera, guarded the passage way to this entrance, and were dlatrlbuted about In portions that might havo teemed plctureaque had not th') rain spoiled the effect. The people were admitted to the Capitol only by ticket, and the aorth wing waa alone accewlble to them.

To that, therefore, the great body of the crowd slowly moved; but many portions, with great faith In the weather, planted themselves to the mud around the platform. GETTING CP STAIRS. There waa the broad Bight of marble stepa which tod to the northern entrance, and there was the door, but It waa no easy thing to get up and in. Halfway down from the entrance a file of aoldiera barred the passage at frequent Intervals, and an oratorical captain aa frequently addressed the crowd.

The Senate took a recess about serN la the morning until nine o'clock, when they met to finish the business and go through the necessary forms for the death of the old Senate.

It was publicly announced thai the doors to the 0ap4tol would not be opened until eleven A. but this did not In the lesst delay the rush to the eastern entrance to the north wing.

Owing to the fkct that the rain waa pouring down, the offloers In charge admitted'the ladies, who soon filled the galleries to ovsrflowing.

It waa a national exhibition of the beauty and talent of tha fair sex of ths Unltsd States. The moment that they entered the gallery they commenoed aa Inoaasant chattering, to anch mi extent that It seriously Interfered with the business of the Senate. It resembled very much the noise of the nesting of pigeons la some wilderness.

It was bus, bus, pels, pals, psls? without any osasatlon. Ths ladles evldsntly considered that they were the only personages of any acoount la the whols aflfclr, and that ths Senators who were at below wars not entitled to the least consideration.

There was a momentary delay, and then the Vice President presented himself and waved both hands. There were calls of "Speech," "Speech," and somoapplause when Andy appeared. He rubbed his red face with his bauds, as If to clear up his Ideaa, but did not succeed, and said nothing. A lane waa than opened through the crowd on the ettform, and the Presidential party retired Into the pilot, amid the thunders of ths artillery in Capitol square and the musio of ths hands The IIring of the salute began the moment ths President had taken ths oath, and before the salute'was over ths aaeemblags began to disperse. BMAKINO nr.

Upon entering ths Capitol the Senators returned to the Chamber, straggling In by ones and twoa. The doors and windows of the Capitol building wars thrown open, ami tbs crowd Inside rushed out inth as much disorder as that which characterised the rush from ths galleries aa ths procession lef the Senate for the platform. The Ben atom gathered In squads In different portions of ths hall, saraestly talking over the scenes which bad transpired there before they left fbr the platform. They were evldently In no pleasaai frame of mind. They remained therefor some time for the return of ths Vice President, who, according to usage would be required to adjourn the body.

They waited In suspense for nearly an hoar, bat Mr. Johnson did not make his appearance. Finally the Senators slipped out one by one and disappeared without being adjourned. It Is, therefore, supposed that legally the Senate is still In sssslon, although not one of the Senators la In his seaA. An Interesting scene took place while ths Senators were waiting lor ths return of ths Vk? President.

Messrs. Sumner, Crimes, Wilson and Hamlin were standing In close proximltv to each other, earnestly conversing, when a respectable looking colored gentleman, with cane In hand and a bundle of papers under his arms, approached the group. He bowed very cordially to Senator Sumner, who returned the nod somewhat coldly, and, much to the dlaappolntment of those who witnessed the scene, did not rush frantically forward to bis su.braca. Mr. Sumner seemed busy arranging the papers on his desk, and this occupation laated so long that the oolorsd Sntleman, who waa supposed to be the new Supreme counsellor, had time to try his politeness upon ths other Senators In ths group.

He met with DO better suocess In that quarter. Nothing dnunted, he again pushed for Senator Sumner's desk, apparently thinking that he should be all right ths moment he confronted that Senator In tliia hs was disappoint'd. Senator Sumner received him with an air of coolness, turned his upon his colored friend, and Immediately addressed with a cordial welcome one of his white constituents The aforesaid negro, beginning to think he found hla way Into the wrong plsce, left somewhat chopfallea, and inarched out of ths hall, mutIsrlng something shout the glorv of being a ingro In the meantime the windows on ths ean and north side of the building were tilled with ladles holding their sk.rta down, with umbrellaa, and watching the procession as it passed by uu its return to lbs Whits Houso. THK rtOPU LRATINU. The people who poured out of tbs Carltol were swallowed up in the crowd outside I ke a drop in the ocean Men, women snd children were all mixed together and with mud.

Ths mud of Wsablngton has liees previously mentioned in this report; but the wading through It to away from the apltol wss ths worst Cut the performance. very body was knes deep at t. Such puslilDK and rrowiilng and Jamming and tUuuuiug waa nsvsr Warn Mothers begg'd tor ths of their chtldren. Fathers shoaMsvsd and llkf crush was ynim at ths carriage way of the east wiug It is a woadsr that nobody wm kill ad there Several ladles (hinted ud had to bo carried off The suffered auiat Soldiers knocked negro women roughly about and called very uncoinpl.memory names. It seemed us if waa a reaction from the aaUslavery sentiments of the luaugural, and every negro boy got an extra pueh on acrouut or hla color.

There were no remarks about the oeremonias, for all were occupied in taking care of themselves and each other. Confusion worse confounded reigned supreme. Incident was disgraceful to our military least one of whom was a United stales ottioer? came out of the Capitol, stepped up to a carriage and ordered thi driver to take them to Wlllard's. The driver refilled, saying that ho waa engaged to take home a party or ladies who were witnessing the inauguration. The officer said he did not care for that; he must drive to Wlllard's.

wUiingly or unwillingly. The driver again refused, and waa very roughly handled hla oarriage and horses being forced from him and driven off by the offlcor orderly. The drivercalled a guard and started in pursuit The two parties reached Wlllard's together, and the gaard took the la custody and restored the carriage to Its owner. Of course the officers were exhilarated. As the phrase here Is, they bad inaugurated too often.

Among the crowd was an old lady, who said that she bad come all the way from Tennessee to look at Andy Johnson sit right dowa on the Vice President's chair. Upon this theme she dilated, declaring that she wits now a mighty proud woman. She assured her audience that the rebels were mighty SMSSt, and could do a mighty lot of things; but tbey could not stop bar tongue. This fact waa coaceded by all who heard her. The soldiers finally surrounded her and bore her off In triumph.

Many of the spectators remained at the Capitol park to see the priH-essiou reformed; but still Pennsylvania avenue was fairly blocked with people. There was a great rash for the Baltimore depot, and extra trains rua all day. All the restaurants were filled, and sating saloons wura extemporized out doom. All the darkeys la the land seemed to be collected on the avenue after the ocremoniss were over. Many notable people had to foot It home through the mire.

Carriages and cars could not run until the procession had passed. The day was now very bright and clear, and the scans on -the streets was extremely picturesque. Back to White The Presidential party hurried into their carriages at the Capitol and took places in the procession. Senators Foster and Henderson rode in an open barouche with ths President. Just as ths barouche started, littls Tad, the President's son, ran up and climbed to a seat beside his father.

Senator Anthony rods In a close carriage with Mrs. Lincoln. The marshals and ths President's body guard formed an escort The President bowod right and left to the people, but did not take off his hat. There was soms olnpj 'ng of hands, but no cheering, except in front of Wlllard's. Besides the cavalry, Infantry and artillery already doflcr bed la the procession, there were some features not seon lu the march to the Capitol.

A model Monitor on wheels and a Temple of Liberty were not. bio The Temple was tilled with small boys, some of thcin black, who sang "Kally round the Flag," and shouted the battle cry of freedom out of all time and tune. Young ladles weru to been on hand for thla work, but could not be found. Negro soldiers and Odd Follows were prominent. Two fire compuuies from Philadelphia made aline appearance.

Tho Washington companies did not Cavalry were stationed along the route. There wore wide intervals between the different parts of the proeemlon, which was as badly ordered as everything else on inauguration day. New Yorkers prayed for a fsw of the Metrojiolitaa police, who would have kept things In bettor condition than all the force of soldiers and constables who showed themselves everywhere, did nothing, and delayed everything, from morning to night. Ths procession waa disbanded In front of the White House, which the President and party entered without any lyremouy. During the afternoon parades were made of various parts ef the procession, and, as more fiags were fiourishod when ths sun came out, Washington presented a brilliant appearance.

The streets were crowded until nightfall. The Eastman Mercantile College Band, asd various other bands, played at different po nta. The forts around tho oity fired salutes after the Inauguration ceremonies and during tho return from the Capitol. The official parade was over by a littls after two o'clock, and the White was theu put to order for the reception in the evening. Going to the Reception.

Whoa a carriage took position la the tins that led to the President's levee It came to a dead halt at about three-quarters of a mile from the Executive manaloa. It remained motlonleaa In that apet for ton or fifteen minutes. Then the line would advance, and a progress of five or Mi yards would be made. There would be another halt for another miuutes, when once mora the lias would drag Its alow length along for a fow feet and again be stopped short. Evidently the car ri unloaded very slowly, or there waa something more In front than the mere unloading of to stop the line.

What that something more might be, the oouupant of a earrtage three-quarters of a mile away could, of coarse, only conjecture. He had, Lowever, in the meantime to sit paiiontly and amuse himsslf as he might with the reflections en the tutuawou and the quaint ejaculations of tho Digger hackmen as they remonstrated with the guaids, who compelled them to take certain aaaigucd positions, as they philosophized and swore and bullied, in chorus, some fellow hackmen who bad tbe misfortune to be while and Ir.sh. see all dese people heahl Tell you, Uncle Abe'll want five hundred thousand more to-morrow. Yah, yab, don't gil die ul.gah; say, take care dere, white fellow, backing your hack right on my horse! Take tell vert Never mind me, soger, lit go in front dar. spur dem up, data where we want you, sah.

when dls break won't dere be a rush; keep inter line dere." After euorgh a.ul to spare of this the entrance of the oao.n In sight, and reason of the slow progress was mads apparent. Guards planted at all the intranet, ai.ii only a few persons were admitted at a time, and vls.tore were permitted to die la at one door only so fast visitors Ulcd out at another. This waa made necessary by the Jam Inside, as capacity of portico was limited. Cat r.a;*? were only permitted to unlftfl at Kuch stated inlenala as an instalment of orowd already landed waa permitted to onter. Having finally akghlcd lrom the carriage visitors stood in the open dressed or undressed ladles, btreh 'sded and barenecked, all being promiscuously I mailed and squeezed a very den no crowd, and standing in the There wero ten minutes of tbia probi.iluti: then the gave way In front, and crowd behind foiced forward twenty or thirty of those be! ore, and tbe guards once more put up their pieces aciosw the passage and shut off the stream; and so II went on for bourn Nor did thoee who had gone without carriages tare any better or get forward any faater.

They also stood In the mud. A promiscuous crowd tuJed a way from i ntrauce for twenty or thirty Many of ilu-ee must have stood tbua for nearly an hour foro they got past tho lirst guar). The ten or twenty whom we bad seen forred forward by the outer crowd now found thamsclvee to of another crowd, under a roof, to be sure, but still in open air, being in the port.oo At this point thore was another probation of when Sned, and this last orowd rushed In, now really and innlde White House, though us merely la vestibule. took off their ma tiers, which gentlemen put over their arms, na thoro no dressing rooms In uae. Here the gentlemen concluded that It waa uecesaary to keep their overcoats on In order lo keep them at all, and here they fixed their hats In good positions to carried through Jam of the inside passage.

There could, of course, no queetlon of leaving outside garments in the place, aa the left the House by another way.

Lincoln looked weary, but he loeked well, and to who him tar tbe lailioUon of courtesy lie responded readily thai be waa "a live man yet." May tbe time very fhr latent when he will not able to say aa Mr. Lincoln Is mid to bn an awkward man. It ts to a man's credit to be awkward in some situations, aad thoaa are situations In which he has been moat by those who have Insisted upon this point In their Ha waa not at all awkward on tbe platform In tbe morning, where, In front of an assemblage, representative in eume of of every State, he gave utterance few eloquent that make up address.

He would bo a mean aad small man who would not more or awkward In It.

Mrs Lincoln stood near to Mr. Lincoln, acknowledging the courtesy of such of paasers by as ognlned her Kbe was chastely drosand la a silk of a light neutral tint, drub, ornamented v.lth lace. Near lo Mrs Uncoln was Commissioner French, man wbo did not clean Pennsyh an is avenue. The mud of Washington has, perhaps, been mentioned before.
