THURSDAY MARCH 14. The Inauguration How th Inaugural was Received The Sail, &o. WA6n:waTof, March 4. Th oold'ere were itatiooed on tho bouse tops . on the line of the procession to act aa sharp shootors in case of riotous proceedings. Several hundred visitors from . New York called on Gen. Scott and the President this evening. Great numbers left the city on the evening trains. The openinir sentence of the Inatisural. "Fsllow CltiitBNs or tub United States," was the signal for prolonged applnuse, the good Union sentiment thereof striking a tender chord in the popular breast. Again, when after defining curtain actions to be his duty, he said, "and I shall perform it," there was a spontaneous and uproar-ous manifestation of applause, which continued for some moments. Every sentence which . indicated firmness in the Presidential Chair, and evory statement of a conciliatory nature was cheered to the echo, while his appeal to bis dissatisfied fellow countrymen, detiring them to reflect calmly, and not hurry into fulse steps was welcomed by every one most heartily and cordially. The closing sentence upset the water-pot of many of bis hearers, and at this point alone did the melodious voice of the President elect falter. Judge Taney did not remove his eyes from Mr. Lincoln during the entire delivery, Mr. Douglas, who stood by the right of the railing, was apparently satisfied as he exclaimed in a "sotto voce," "Good," "that's so, no coercion," and "good again." Judge Taney was the first man who shook hands with Mr. Lincoln, and was followed by Mr. Buchanan, Chase, Douglas and a host of others. A southern gentleman seised him by the hand and said "God bless you my dear sir, you will save us;" to which Mr. Lin eoln replied, "I am very glad that what I have said causes pleasure to Southerners, because I then know they are pleased with what is right." Ob the steps were Gov. King and many influential New Yorkem, Gov. Hoppin and Sprague of Rhode Island, Buckingham of Connecticut, and the entire Cabinet of the outgoing Administration, in reply to questions, Mr. Buchanan said with a wretched and suspicious lear: "I cannot Bay what he means until I rend his inaugural, I cannot understand the secret meaning of the document which has been simply read in my hearing."' . . Mr. Douglas said he does not me-.n coercii n. He says nothing about retaking the forts or federal property. He's all right. While conservative people are in raptures ovt r the inaugural, it cannot be denied that many Southerners look upon it as a precursor of war. They will probably take ft calmer view to-morrow. Mr. Weed is delighted with it, and even Mr. Wigfall publicly declares it a most able paper. Certainly its conciliatory tone and frank outspoken declaration of loyalty to the whole country, captured the hearts of many heretofore opposed to Mr. Lincoln; and its firm enunciation of purpose to fulfill his oath, to maintain the Constitution and laws, challenge universal respect. The arrangements for the preservation of peace were admirable. A large force of special police with conspicuous badges were distributed all along the line of procession nnd about the Capitol, but their more presence was generally sufficient to insure order. In a few cases where individual fights occurred, they interfered so promptly as to prevent collision being general, so they immediately dispersed every gathering of people who manifested the least improper excitement, or attempted to rocirerate sentiments Intended to be offensive or incendiary. The several Companies of United States Artillery, all under arms, were on the street near their quarters, with horses hitched up and their riders standing by, rcry!y to vault into the saddle at an instants notice. ' Files of moulted troops were stationed at different points of the city to convey to the head quarters prompt intelligence of any disturbance. mi . i f it. r- . --i xne turn out oi mo district muiuii wn quite imposing. The Washington Light Infantry looked quite well. They are a fine looking set of young men. The Na tional Rifles, the cot ps whose secession sympathies are well understood here, failed to participate in tne parade The Inauguration Ball last night', for which such extensive preparations had been made was great success. It was very fully attended and passed off satisfactory to all. Mr. Lincoln with his family, ac eompanied by Vice President Hamlin and family, Senator Douglas and other distin guished personages entered the ball about 11 o'clock, and alter a brif promenade received the personal congratulations of such as chose to be presented to him Soon afterwards the Presidential party proceeded to the supper room, and subse qucntly somn of the party, Including Hen ator Douglas and Mrs. Lincoln who were partners, danced a quadrille. . The delegation then re-formed and marched to the residence of Hon. a. Cam "I" . . eron, who appeared in answer to their calls and addressed them briefly. Tbe company then proceeded to pay their respects to Hon. Andy Johnson, of Tennessee, at the St. Charles Hotel. He came out and made sn eloquent and earnest Union speech, endorsing the President's Inaugural with out qualification; Gen. Scott. They also called on The!

Messrs Editors: Sixty-seven years ago, there was an insurrection in the region which we now inhabit. The officers of the government were maltreated, their property destroyed, mails slopped and robbed of their contents, and the whole territory of four counties, except the little picketted Fort Fayette, was in the undisputed possession of the rebels. Our government itself was then new and untried, the entire population of tho country, whicb now exceeds thirty one millions, was then barely four millions. Instead of being at peace with all the world, as we are now, we weie engaged in a war with the Indian tribes, nnd bad just escaped from the severe defeat of Gon. St. Clair. Indeed the cond tion of tho whole country was such that Hugh II. Breckinridge, one of the most talented, malignant, basest and most craven spirited of all tho leaders of the rebels, in a letter to his crony, French Coxe of Philadelphia, used tho following language: "Should an attempt be made to suppress these people, I am afraid the question will not be, whether you will march to Pittsburgh, but whether they will march to Philadelphia, accumulating in their course, and swelling over the banks of the Susquehanna like a torrent irre-sistnble and devouring in its progress," Such Was the slate of affairs on the 24th of August, 1794, when Major.Kirkpatrick, a soldier of the Revolution as brave a man as ever served his countrythe pe"-son who dofc nded John Neville's house, until the heat from the adjacent burning, buildings forced its abandonment' who was then an exile in Philadelphia, wrote to Isaac Craig a letter which is now before me. Tbe following extract from it shows that the same difference of opinion as to the proper course to be pursued against rebels existed then as do now. "I find the most of the people of this place are decidedly for suppress ng, by foi ce of arms, the insurrection of our country. A number of the Democratic Society are opposed to the measure, and wish to effect it by milder steps, as they call it. Some of them inveigh against the law, and declare that coercive measures should not be used. Some pieces appear lo Beache's paper aja'nst the measure. Beache is one of the Democratic Society, and all these publications appeir in his paper. I begin to be of Col Neville's opinion that it is a villainous combination, collected together under that name to abuse the Executive and all officers of the Govi rnment." Tims it appears that there were mmy points of similarity between the condition of this country in 1794 nn 1 now. A portion of the popuhtioi of tho country were in rebellion agdnst the laws of the land, just as another portion is now; the public mails were robbed then, just as now; rebels were in possession of this entire country, except Fort Fayette, under the command of the gallant Major Butler, just as the secessionists are now of 3 mill aro-lina, except Fort Sumptar, under Major Anderson, and there were then some miserable caitiffs who talked about peaceable measures, and talked airainat coercion. just as some do now. But happily for our country, we had then at (he head of our government such honest, brave, wise, true-hearted patriots as George Washington, Alexander Hamilton an I Henry Knox, instead of such a miserable abortion as James Buchanan, and such stupid knaves as Cobb and Floyd. The Consequence was here we may as well let Major Kirkpatrick's letter tell the story. He proceeded as follows: "The President has ordered out twclvo thousand infantry and nine hundred c v-alry. Hamilton told me that Gen Mor. gan would command the Virginians, Ihree thousand infantry and three hundred cavalry."According to the teachings of the anti. coercionists of those days a well as of the present, tins was a very unwise and dangerous course; but H. H. Breckinridge, notwithstanding his declarations in bis letter to Cose about the power of the insurgents, was convinced of 'ho wisdom of (he course pursued by Washington. In the History of the Insurrection, published soon after it was over, we find tbe following remrrks on page 84 of his see- ona volume: . "Thus it has been said, that because there has been no horrid battle, there was no necessity for so strong an army. But it was the display of so strong an army, that rendered unn cessary anything but tbe display of it." No doubt if Buchanan had displayed some of the energy and decision shown by Washington in 1791, or by Jackson at a later day, the'sams good results would now be manifest. . C. : An Offer to the Enquirer. The Enquirer has found fault with the Inaugural Address of President Lincoln, and having criticised the document and discovered wherein it supposes the President bas erred, it is to be presumed that it considers itself competent to 'produce a paper adipted to . the times. We are therefore authorised to offer oni hoxdrid dollars to the .editor of that paper, if he will write and publish an Inaugural Address that shall prove, satisfactory to thi Dimocsatio partt, treating upon the same subject, and occupying the same space air Mr. Lincoln's Address. This offer is made in good faith Cin. Goistte. lion. S. W. Pratt, of South. Caiolina. says: "If the prohibition of the-African slave-trade be carried into effect the whole object of the secession movenrtot is defeated." ' - - MoJ. Andorson's Programme. The CfhsrltisttfJ correspondent of the N Y. Times, in s late (titter, says : As i hers is, of doiirse a vast amount of curiosity as to what Major Anderson will do in case of war being declared. I wilt give1 s programme as disclosod to me by a gentleman of such position in society here, both in public and private, that I deom it eminently reliable. Tho gentUmntsays hi heard It lo such a way notiu time sines, coming from one or the ofUcors now at the famous fortres, that he believes it will be carried out to th letter. The hittory on Cummings' Point, Morris Island, being now considered impregnable, although distant only three-quarters of a mile, and Fort Johnson being also in such a position that he cannot effect much thore, he will bo forced to allow thim to Are away at his weak (land) side, whero the walls are only four feet thick, while he will turn the Runs of the other side of ths pentagon against Fort Moiilttie, and will destroy all the houses on Sullivan's Island. This side will stand an assault for weeks, as the walls looking seaward are twelve leet thick. The slaughter on Sullivan's Island will be fearful, with his terrible Columbians pointing there, and tho men of that place (three thousand) will be fearfully out up. Damages by day will be repaired St night. As a dernier resort, if reinforcements do not come, he will point the long-range Columbiads at Charleston, and sholl the city. This he thinks will bring about a truce, and a capitulation of some Kind will be enterod into, which will result either in an honorable withdrawing, or a mors terrible commencement anew, when the motto will be no quarter. Rut, adds my informant, Major Anderson will never sur render the Fort except upon the most ex plicit instructions. Rather than do this, he himself will firs the mine which will send to eternity himself and every one of his com paniona. . 1 judge, from all I can elicit through dili gent inquiry, that by the 4th of March there will be in Charleston and the points that pre fect the city, lull ten thousand men, and over one hundred pieces of tne most approved kind of ordinance, I really am at a loss to know why they concentrate so many troops at tbe island a.UUU men are surely not re quired to man seventy guns, the present number 'but voluntoers pour in, and as thoy come they are sont down, while every day you meet with heavy baggage-wagons, loaded down with stores from tbe Quartermaster's Department: Castla Pinckney will shortly have a sham fight with the iron-plated float ing battery, to test Its mottle. The Louisville Democrat comments upon the Address as follows : - We have read over the Inaugural Address oi Abraham Lincoln; and ean only say It is about what we expected. He denies tbe right ot secosston, and or course, he holds tbe laws of the United States valid in the seceding States. The Constitution says, "He shall sue that the laws are faithfully execu ted." This he swoars to do; and says he will do, "as tar as practicable." lie could hardly say less; and what he will do depends on the meaning he will attach to the ' practicable.'' The requisite means referred to, depending on the people, are very slender at present, and from the tone ot the message wo do not apprehend any attempt at what could be properly called coercion. Indeed, it is not possible to teil what, under the cir cumstances, he will do, cither to hold tbe forts or collect revenue. . He has not tbe means provided to do one or the other; and the modification, "S3 far as practicable," is well put in. Tho truth is, the President is powerless to extricate himself from the obligations of the Constitution. He cannot surrender the forts, if he desired; nor say on the back of his eath to see that the laws aie faithfully executed, that he will forbear their execution. He modifies "aa far as practicable," "unless the people will withhold the requisite means, or direct othorwise." He says what is true, that the President is trusted with no power to fix the terms of tho separation ol these 3tates. lie pleads for forbearance towards tho close of his address. "Suppose you go to war," he says, "you cannot light always, and when, alter much loss on both sides, there is no gain on either, the old question as to the terms of intercourse is again upon yoU." This h a remonstrance against war. against force. Ha recommends a National Convention as the only body that can adjust this mattor authoritatively, or divide the Union peacebly. In short, although those bent on precipi tation may represent that the inaugural means coercion, there is not a word like it, that is not a logical necessity ef Lincoln's position, and the modifications by circumstances are quite as full ss could be expected. His appeal to the Convention of the people and his earnest plea for peace, indicate anything but a disposition for ooercion. Let the States at once request Congress to call a Convention. Two-thirds of them can doit. That bedy will be competent to adjust matters, or divide peaceably, and relieve the country from the calamities of war. We believe the people of this country will settle this matter wisely snd well. Some may censure the general remarks about ths decisions of the Supreme Court; but the intelligent reader will see that it is hut the nlil Dmneratia doctrine of .Teft'srann and Jackson. If it be a heresy, it is not Lincoln s. Letter from Florida. Tn s private letter received by Mr. S. J. Wadsworth, of this city, from a gentleman in Florida, wears permitted to publish the following extract, which shows the feeling among the people, and the consequences of treasen hich are already being felt : ' "This pnor little State ha seea fit to commit an act of treason against the general Government. For this she is bound to suffer, and is suffeiing now. The county I live in is almost entirely Union, snd it is possible a majority of the people in the S ate would go for union if the vote was fairly put. But the demagogues rule.' The people generally are led by them. They are made to believe Mr. Lincoln intends to set ths negroes all free, snd a thousand like things. I sea nothing ahead bnt trouble; and it is my fixed purpose to return to California as soon ss I oan. I believe if these Cotton States can form a separate government, it will be one of the most tyranical In ths world."

In spite of the great draught made upon his thinking powers since last May, Us has brought td tbe present exigency one of the most unprejudiced, calm, philo sophical and vigorous minds to be found in tha cnuntrv. "Honest Old Abe" was all very well for sn electioneering rally, but shrewd Uld adj la raucn more to ine pur-nose about those days. He cannot be fooled, he cannot bs led unwillingly, and he cannot be swerved from on epinion ol the honesty and policy or which he is convinced. He is truthful, regular and temperate. Tobaceo and strong drinks are tabooed from his bill of faro. Ha is generous open and handed he loves tho good and despises the evil and has never yet been detected in a meanness, a profanity, or a breach or nonor. He professes to entertain a profound convie tion that this country is in the hands of God, the Maker and Ruler of all men tbat all things are ordered by His hand, and tbat to Him alone'ean he. as President of this psopls, look for aid, guidanee, and ultimate succeas. If these things its so, what better leader do we want? Physically, be is a remarkable porsdh. Strong limbed, strong boned snd sinewy, rather than muscular, ho can endure great fatigue with wonderful ease. To many hi seems ill, or, at best, greatly worn. This is not the case. He steeps woll, eats regularly, and relishes the constant labor that ia put upon him. 'lhe multitudinous hand shakings, the incessant bendit.g of his body, the everlasting small talk, and tho long, long ride from Springfield, though temporarily wearying him, have put flesh upon his bones, and he stands to-day a heavier man than when be left his Western home. Just at present he feels unsettled. Hotel life does not sgree with him, and he is anxious to be settled, with his family all about him, where he can shut out inquisitive bores, welcome thoso who love him, and attend uninterruptedly to the businoss which he finds at his hand. Mr. Bell, of Tennessee, the Union candidate for the Presidency, bad an interview this afternoon with Mr. Lincoln. Mr. Bell is very anxious for the North to conceJo something. Mr. Lincoln told Mr. Bell tbat he bad concluded to stand upon his platform: viz: Ths Union, the Constitution, and the enforcement of the laws. Who shall tie Senator-. The appointment and confirmation of ths Hon. S. P. Chase to the Secretaryship of the Treasury, opens a contest for the Senatorial succession in Ohio which will be somewhat enlivening. We learn from our Columbus correspondent tbat the selection of a Senator will probably not be made in caucus, but by ballot openly in tha Legislature, tbe houses duly assemblod in joint Convention. This is well, for caucusing in such cases, if not in all cases, is a mean and miserable business. We learn further that the Hon. John Sherman will ia all probability be tbe man cho-en. Public sentiment very generally and very dtcidedly indicates him. If it were not tbat his residence is north of the national road, there would bs but very feeble opposition to his promotion. As the case stands, there will be a clamor about latitudes, and a sharp struggle. We have no respect for the national road as a sectional line entering into, bisecting and perplexing our politics, nor havo the people of Southern Ohio. In our judgment they have thought very little, when justly proud of Mr. Sherman ss an Ohioan, of the distance from his house to tbe Ohio river. So far as the poiplo of this corner ot the State are concerned, we are -onfident that an immense majority of tho Republicans are for Mr. Sherman, and care nothing foi latitude or longitude, and lines isothermal and geographical, in connection with the election. Tbe question of locality is very frequently used in Senatorial contests, and almost invariably employed in behalf ef small men. Never mind the national real give us the roan. Cin. Commercial. The Programme of the Secessionists. It is said here, on the authority of letters from Montgomery, Ala., that a gentleman loft that place several days ago for Washington, who is supposed to have traveled here inoog.,' aad to be now in this city, as a Commissioner from the Southern Confederacy. This gentleman is instructed immediately after the inauguration, to present bis credentials as Ambassador of the Southern Confederacy, and ask its recognition by the United States. President Lincoln is expected to tep'y tbat be has no power in the premises, and cannot give the desired answer. To this the Ambassador is directed to rejoin that be is instructed lo insist upon a decisive answer without delay, and failing to get it, to immediately retire. It was understood at Montgomery that if the recognition of the Southern Confederacy is refused, immediately on the faet being ascertained, Forts Sumpter and Pickens will be attacked, and an armed issue will be immediately precipitated on tbe new Administration, I am unable to obtain the name of .this Ambassador, but the circumstance under which the facts come to me lead me to think there is much foundation for the foregoing statement of the programme as fully determined upon by the "Montgomery Government a few days ago. ' I cannot learn that the Ambassador has any ditcietion in tbe premises, but possibly, bis aelion is to depend on the character of Mr. Lincoln's Inaugural. My impression, . however, is, that - the leaders of the secession movement pro-poso to precipitate war as the only means of giving a new impulse to their movement. Cin.
