We make up from the Washing ton papers the following account of the procession, the icangnration ceremonies, and the attending Incidents: THE CROWD OF VISITORS.

Though the crowd of visitors in delegations was not so great at this inauguration as upon, some former occasions, the number of individuals arriving from a distance for several days past has bee almost if not quite as large as ever before. Our hotels have been, full or fully engaged for several days. At nineo'clcci on Friday morntng six hundred and fifty guests were "booked" at Wli lards. Besides the usual sleeping accommodations of the hotel, the proprietors had cois and mattrasses placed in the parlors, passages and seme of the adjoining buildings. The Natioral Hotel adopted the same measures as Willards', and at an early hour on Friday evening, seven hundred guests had been provided ior.

The Metropolitan was densely crowded, and one hundred guests were provided with sleeping accommodations outside of the main building. TheAveaue, Seatoar Kirkwocd. and Washington Houses were-crowded to overflowinz at an earlv hour. and these who applied for lodgings after the arrival of the late traias were turned away. Ine smaller hotels of the city were proportionately thronged with guests, as were also many of the privite boarding and lodging honses, where visitors were satisfied with getting sleeping accommodations on the floor.

One thousand visitors were furnished with ledgings by the Lincoln and Johnson Club, and the various fire companies of the city entertained a large number of brother fireman from other cities. large number of officers-from the army availea themselves of the occasion to visit the city, and added not a little to the military aspect of the ceremonies. THE AT AJf THE WEATHER. Farly in the morning the temuestoos wea ther which has prevailed during the last week culminated in a severe storm of wind ar. drain.

The sky was black with-clouds. In some parts of the city one could not see to read without artificial light. At about 11 o'clock, just as the procession was forming, signs of fair weather began to-appear. By noon the storm, was plainly spent. Tne clouds soon became thinner, the southern sky grew lighter, glimpses of sunlight illumined th brilliant scene about the east front of the Capitol, and just before the President elect commenced his inaugural address, the sun broke out in its and by the time the ceremony was finished-not a cloud was to be seen in the sky.

THS Pennsylvania avenue, about the time of the starting of the procession, a bril liant appearance indeed, despite the unpleasant weather. Thousands of people occu pied the side walka and the windows and bal conies of private aad public buildn es. The long colonade of the Treasury buildinz bore an immense freight of humau beings, and the west rront oi me tjapitoi was similarly loaded The State Department attracted much at tention by its brilliant display of gracefully orapeo. ngs, as uiu ite war ueparimeni Dy its display or nags and also oi arcnes, and other decorations of evergreen. The national fiag in some shape, mammoth or minature, was to be seen atevery available point along the avenue, and upon the various carriages, cars, harness of horses, on the, streets, giving an exceedingly lively appear-" ance to the scene.

AS THE WHITE HOrSK. As early as nine o'clock a. crowd began to- assemble in front of the White House, go. Pennsylvania avenue, and in a short time both sides oS the street were completely jammed up by those eager to see the" President, but they were disappointed in doing so as he was called to the Capitol eirly in the morning to sign a number of important bills p3 6sed by both houses, where he remained, and consequently was not in the procession, as was expected. At 5 minutes to eleven o'clock.

Marshal Lamon, and a number of United States marshals acting as his aids, entered the east gate cf the enclosure leadiur to the President's mansion, for the purposs of escorting the President out acd assigning him to his position in line. At this time it was first discovered that the President was at the Capitol, when Marshal Lamon immediately detailed Marshal Millard, cf Philadelphia, and Marshal Murray, of New York, to escort Mrs Lincoln through the crowd to the Capitol. Mrs. Lincoln then entered her carriage, ia company with Senators Harlan ard Anthony, and passed out the west gate of the enclcsuie of the White House, under escort cf the Union Light Guard, and drove in advance of the proces-sion to the Capitol. THE PHOCESIOIT As the hour for starting the line of procession approached, the clouds broke away auspiciously disclosing clear sky ia the "west.

The procession formed on the avenue, between and 20th streets, and commenced to move aboct half past eleven A. in the crdr mentioned in the programme hereto- pubiisned A beautiiui 'lempie oi iioerty car drawn bv four large bay horses, formed a conspicu ous portion the procession. In this car, which was surmounted by a beautiful tent, it was intencea tnat tnere snould be a number of young ladies representing the different States cf the Union, but owing to the threatening state of the weather in tne morn- inr tneir places were suppjiea oy dojs. East Washington Lincoln and Johnson Club, hesdedby William Dixon, president, a rd re arch sled by J. O.

Dulin, was ulso at tractive. With this club there was a fine working model of the Monitor, drawn by four white horses. At interval two guns were fired from the turret by George D. Dice. Tte Monitor had on the bow, "The Union: Our Heme;" and the turret was aailv deco rated with flags, one for each State Aft th turret wrers tw streamers, while on the turret was a captain's pennant; forward, a Union jack, and aft, the American ensign.

This was gotten up in a nandsome maater, under the diiec ion of Mr. Wm. Beron. Captain Bow- its DRttary of howitzers, manned by men from tr.e yard, accompanied the club, and before the procession started fired a salute. The housetops were crowded as were the sidewalks, end there waa much cheering as the procession moved along the avenue.

The visiting Philadelphia lire companies attracted greet attention by tneir beautifully adorned apparatus. The Washington firemen also made a very imposing display. Many Mids were interspersed throughout the whole rrocession, and the line waa one con tinual ring oi music. The procession was one hour iii, passing a given point, ana the iengtn wis probably over a mile. The streets were in an almost impassable condition, which made the display not as magnificent as it would have been, though it was exceedingly beautiful.

One novel fea ture was the colored troops and colored Odd Fellows, with tr eir band. THK RUSH TO TSE CAPITOL. The Capitol was, of course, tbe great centre of attraction. From every quarter the men, wemen and children were pourinar towards it In a continuous stream. Despite the steady drizzle which made umbrellas even of but little use, the crowd began to assemble at an early hour.

The doors were not to be opened to those who had obtained the right of access t-tbe Senate gallaries before eleven A. M. Yet delicate women thronged the east front of the Senate wing awaiting, with much chattering and jostling, the hour which was to admit them. The door was finallv opened about half-past eleven, when the fairer half of creation pusht in with an energy and de termination not surpassed by the most vete' ran sight-seers. They hurried along the halls, up the broad stairways, screaminr, racing, ai breathless, and as tbev rushed imo the gal.eries, disturbed the proceedings of the Senate with a recklessness which it is not ungallant to characterize as unfeminine and inexcusable.

In vain the Vice President called to order with successive raps. The chattering iu the galleries, which were filled exclusively with crinoline outside of the reporter's gallery, still continued, and Senators repeatedly protested that they could not hear what was going on. Finally, however, the ladies awakened to tne proprieties or the oc cation, and comparative order prevailed. The Senate, the members of which confined themselves to the side of the hall on the left of tbe Speaker, eiving a curiously one-sided aspect to that body, kept up the irregular transaction of business till near twelve. The floor was covered with chairs, placed be tween the desks and in the rear.

The latter were rapidlv filled with eminent citizens oth civil and military. At quarter of twelve, the Vice-President elect. Andrew John son, of Tennesse. came into the chamber arm in arm with, ice President Hamlin, and were cordially welcomed by Senator Foot. who was presiding.

Mr. Hamlin took his chair, and Kr. Johnson sat a little to his right. Shortly after ihe me-mbers of the Cabinet took places in chairs in front of the their robes of office, and preceded by Chief usuce tneir way Into tne cnam-ter down the main aisle, ancl were seated in front of the desks, to bis right. The Vice-Piesidentthen rose and delivered a very appropriate valedictory, in the midst of which the foreign ministers and their attaches entered in their gorgeous uniforms, resplendent with lace, with brilliant sashes, and showy rapiers, whilst a few wore the decorations with which they had been honored by their own or foreign courts.

They took their places on the right of the Senate chamber. The Vice-President elect, Andrew Johnson, then came forward to the desk of the Secretary of the Senate and delivered an address, which will be found in the Senate's proceedings. SCE3TKS IS THE SE1TATE CHAMBFR. In the midst of the Vice-President's address the House of Representatives made their way into the Senate Chamber, preceded by Speaker Colfax, filing In each side of the main entrance; shortly after entering, the President of the United States, attended by the Senate committee, Messrs. Foster, Doolittle and Henderson, took tbe seats provided for them in front of the Secretary's desk.

"Vice-President Hamlin then pronounced the Senate adjourned, whereupoa the proclamation of the President convening an extra session of the Senate was read by the Secretary of the Senate. Vice-President Jehnson called the Senate to order. The names of the Senators elect were called, and they were-invited to come forward and be sworn inrwhen Messrs. Anthony, Craein, Fessend en, Guthrie, Lane Norton and Vatea presented themselves, and tbe usual oath' was administered. The procession was then organized to move out towards the portico, according to the programme before announced.

Marshal Lamon leading followed by the Supreme Court, tbe sergeant at-anni of the Senate; the committee of arrangements, the President of the United States, the Vice-President and Secretary of the Senate-, the members of tbe Senate, the Diplomat is Corns, the Heads-of the Departments, Governors, Mayors of Wash-irgtoB. and Georgetown, the members of the House, and others who had been admitted to-the fleor of the Senate. The presence of the crowd, as it poured oat of the Senate main entrance, was terrific. In tbe meantime the galleries were rapidly emptied, and the ladies scugb-t eligible positions for seeing, at the windows, on the steps of the portico- and elsewhere. THB TWATJTrB.TIOW.

The-thousands outside of the Capitol had paiieutly awaited the coming of the President, and the distinguished assemblage which had gathered in the Senate chamber. Every available space was occupied in tbe vast area in front of the building. The admirable arrangements of the military an-i police kept an open track through the immet.se multitude, but despite the mud, which was indisaribable, thousand clustered around the central portico, covered the railroad tracks, crowded the steps, thronged the terraces and filled the windows with a blaze of beauty. Tbe first glimpse of the President through the columns of tbe portico was the signal for tumultuous applause, and as he made his way forward to the platform erected la front of the central portico accompanied by the impeding and brilliant escort, the loudest huzzas rent the air. A few minutes were consumed in seating the distinguished com-panywhen Chief Justice Chase administered the usual oath of ofiice, and the President addressed the vast throng as follows: THE IB AIi Fellow-Ctuntrymen: At this second appearing to take the oath-of the Presidential office, there is less cccasion for an extended address than there was at the first.

Then a statement somewhat ia detail of a course to be pursued seemed fitting and proper. Now at tne expiration ot tour years, during wbien public declarations have been constantly called forth on every point and phase the great contest which still absorbs the attention and engrosses the energies of the cation, li'tle that is new could be presented. The progress of our arms, upon which all else chiefly depends, is as well-known to the pub lic as to myseir, ana it is, trust, reasonably tatisfactory and encouraging to a'li With, high hope for the future, no precictioa in 10 vent urea. On the occasion corresponding to this four years age, all i houghts were anxiously disect- ea to an impending ctvii war. All dreaded it, an sought to averttt.

Whuethe inaugural address was being delivered from this place, devoted altogether to saving tbe Union with out war, insurgent agents were in the city seeking to destrov it without war seekicer to dissolve the Union and divide effects by negotiation. Both parties deprecated war. Hut one of them would make war rather tnan let the nation survive, and the other would accept war rather than let it perish. aim iu war eaxoe. One-eiehth, Of the Whola ruvrmlatinn nara colored slaves, not distributed generally over tbe LTnion, but localized in the southern part cf it.

These slaves consituted a peculiar and poweriul interest. All knew that this intereit was somehow the cause of the war. To strengthen, perpetuate and extend this interest was theobjectfor whichthe insurgents would rend the Union even by war; while the government claimed bo right to do more than to restrict tbe territorial enlargement of it. Neither party expected for the war the magnitude or the duration which it has already attained. Neither anticipated that the cense of thecoEflict might cease with or even before the conflict itself should cease.

Each locked for an easier triumph arjl a result Ifss fundamental and astounding. Both read the same Bible and pray to the same God, and each invokes His aid against the other. It may seem strange that any man should dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces, but let us judge not, that we be not judged. The prayer of both could not be answered that of neither has been answered fully. The Almighty has his own purposes.

"Woe unto the world because of offenses, for it must needs be that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom tbe offense cometh." If we shall suppose that American slavery is or of these offenses which, in the providence of Gcd, must reeds come, but which having continued through his appointed time, He now wills to remove, and thai He gives ta both North and South, this terrible war as the woe due to those by whom the offense we discern therein anv departure from those Divine attributes which the believer in a living God always ascribes to Him. Fcndly do we hope fervently do we pray that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sank, and until every drop ol blood drawn with tne lash Ehall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "Tbe judgments oi tne Liora are true ana rignteou3 aito-cether." With malice toward none, with charity ior anr witn nrmness in tne rignt, as u-oa give? us to see the right, let us strive on to fin ish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wount.9, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan. todo all which may cherish a jnstand a last ing peace among ourselves ana wit a an nations.

At the conclusion of the address, the procession was formed and moved towards the Executive Mansion.

Next followed the carriage of Mrs. Lincoln, who was accompanied by Senator Anthony, ol Rhode Islaid, then the carriage ot Konert Lincoln, and next two oi tne for eign Ministers, succeeded by the civic procession The President was lustily cheered as he passed up the avenue, and the ladies waved their handkerchiefs from the windows and balconies, the President frequently acknow ledging the compliment by raising his hat and bowire. Among those present were Secretaries Seward, Stanton, and Usher, with their ladies; Vice Admiral Farrsgut, Major Gen.

Nothing of importance is transpiring in this department at present. De serters continue to come into our lines in lar numbers, 56 having arrived to-day, nearly all bringing their guns and equipments with them, for which they are to-be paid. The number of muskets received from deserters since Feb. 22d, is 240, all of them in gcoa order. In sdditiosto stories told bytbese men they say that two companies- from each iteiiHut of several brigades Los been da- tailed from ihe army defending Petersburg; and sent ta hunt up deserters, thousands of whom are said to be scattered through the country, endeavoring to reach their homes.

This is particularly the case with- the North and South Carolina troops, who are sick and' tired of the contest, and auxious to join their families now within our lines. These men- are principally veterans of three and four- ears' service, and many of them lately exchanged all of them being refused! furloughs, and not paid for a- long time, nor any prospect or getting any soon, tney took French leave.

The Speaker made a brief reply to tnose w.nom ne addressed as bretnren of tbe press, placing a high estimate on their vol untary compliment, especially as they had been impartial and constant observers of his cor duct. The hasty and confused manner in which business was passed through Congress, the last two deys of the session is not among the mrst creditable of the proceedings of Congress.

The senate amendments to the amenda tory internal revenue, the amendatory tariff ana the Indian appropriation bills were not even read to the House, being so numerous, but were all sen-concurred in bolily. and lorthwith sent to the conference committees. on whose reports, and with but brief aad occasionally imperfect explanation, they were adopted; ana, again, to a bin merely to denne me pay oi omcers' servants, twenty or thirty sections were added in relation to military affairs, including an amendatory enrollment bin ana kindred objects, and on these there bad to be a committee of conference, and rushed throngh without an Intelligent know led ee of their character. The civil appropriation bill owes its defeat to being loaded down with extraneous amendments and the want of time to adjust tbe differences between the two Houses. The emendatcrv tariff bill imposes an additional duly of 9i a ton on railroad iron.

The extra session of the senate has nom ine to do with legislation, but will act upon 1 it cininatiot; for office, and probably continue for two weeks. It is lust to tay that the officers and clerks of the two Houses of Congress have been uniformly generous in their accommodations to the press for examining and copying im portant documents and other public papers. As for the members of Congress, they nave re ceived more favors from than tney nave conferred upon the press. The closing scenes of Congress were not disgraced by any personal quarrels, nor were there any prominent and noisy manifesta tions ot dinnkenness as neretorore.
