Tbe long colonade Of tbe Treasury building bore an Immense freight ot human beings, and he west front of the Capltol was similarly loaded. The Stat Department attracted much attention by lis brilliant display of draped flags, as did the War Department by Its display of flags and also of archaa and other decorations of evergreens. The national flag In some shape, mammoth or miniature, was to be seen at every available point along the avenue, and apon the various carriages, cars, harness of horses, on the street, giving au exceedingly lively ap pearance to tbe scene. Up to this morning the number of strangers arriving In the etty was not so large as was the case four years ago, when the excitement in regard to the Inauguration of President Lincoln and anticipating that some foul play might be attempted by secession gangs to prevent the President elect from taking bis seat caused an extraordinary rush to this city some days in advance ot the inauguration. On this occasion large numbers wfio proposed to name In order to avoid tbe difficulty of getting lodgings, deferred coming until tho day of the inauguration Itself, and for their accommodation extensive arrangements war as ado by tbe different railroad companies in tbe way of running special trains.

Numbers from a distance stopped over night in Hal more, arriving here by the morning train. So Important a day eonld not well pass without Its due proportion of minor, aud among these was one that something was going on. Indicating that trouble was anticipated lrom some undeveloped quarter. Rumor had it that all the roads reading to Washington had been heavily picketed lor someday, and tbe britiges guarded with extra vigilance, as i)on watch for suspicious characters. Also, that tbe 8lh Illinois Cavalry bad been pushed out from Fairfax Court-house on an active -outing expedition, as if in search ol some of of the suspicious characters.

Also that an undue proportion cl suspicious looking persons in grizzled costume were to be seen upon the streets. Indicating that something was portending; but the day wore on tranquilly. Dame Rumor took a back seat, and was heard no more. For tbe purpose of preserving order the military patrols were doubled, and made fiequent rounds of the streets, but notwithstanding tbe large number ol slrangers In the city, good order prevailed, and bat few arrests were made In either military or police authority s. A large number ef officers fiom tbe Army of tbe Potomac availed themselves of the occasion to visit tbe city, and added not a little to tbe military aspect oi the ceremonies.

Among them were Major General Webb, Cbier of Ma Jor Oeneral Meade's staff; Major General In-gal is. Chief Quartermaster ol tbe armies operating against Richmond; General Sharp, Assistant Provost Marshal General of tbe Artnyof the Potomac; Lieutenant Colonel Barstow, of Goneral Meadu's staif Captains Webster and Rttbinelte, of Gen.

With high hope for the I In re, no prediction In regard to il Is ven'ured. On the occasion corresponding to this, four years ago, all thoughts were anxiously directed to an impending civil war; all dreaded il; all sought to avoid it; while the inaugural Address was being delivered from this place, devoted alto gether to saving the Union without war. Insurgent alien ts were in the city seeking lo u-slroy it witnont war seeking to dissolve IheUuiou and divide the effects by negotiation.

th parties deprecated war, but one of them would make war than let the uatlon survive, and the other wotsld accept war rather tban let if. periah, and the war came. One-eiilith of the whole population were colored til ves, not distributed generally over the Union, but localir.td In the Southern part of H. These alaves constituted a peculiar and powerful lnteieat. All knew that this inleiesl was mehow the cause of the war.

To strengthen, perpetuate and extend this interest, was tbe object fir which the insurgents would rend the Union by war. while the Government claimed no right lo do more than to restrict the territorial enlargement of it. party expected for the war the magnitude or tne duration which it has already attained. Neither anticipated that the causn of might ceaso. even before tho conflict itself should cetse.
