There the Vice President elect took the oath of office, preceding it by an address. Chief Justice Chase administered the oath of office on ths eastern portico, when the Pres ident delivered his Inaugural Address. There was a very large attendance and Che scene was one of marked interest. The President's Inaugural Fellow Countkvjieji: At this second appearing to take the oath of the Prettideniiai office, there is less occasion for an exended address than there was at the first. Then, a statemen t, some what in detail, of a course to be pursued, seemed fitting and proper. Xox, at the expiration of four years, during which public declarations have been constantly called forth, on every point and phase of the ereat contest which still alworbs the at tention and engrosses the enersies of tne Na tion, little that is new could be presented. The progress of our arms, upon which all else chiefly depends, is as well known to the public as to myself, and it is, I trust, reasonably satisfactory and encourag'ng to all. With .high hopes for the future, no prediction in regard to it iS ventured. On the occasion corresponding to this ibui years ago all tho'tx were anxiously directed to an " impending civil war; all dreaded it; all sought to avoid it; while the inaugural address was being delivered from this place, "devoted altogether to saving the Union without war, insurgents were in the city teeking to destroy it without war seeking to dissolve the Union and divide the effects by negotiation. Both parties deprecated war, but one of ttieiti would. make war rather than let the nation survive, and the other would accept war rather than let it perish, rind the war came. One-eighth of the who'e population were colored slaves, not distributed generally over the Union, but localized . in the southern part of it. .These slaves conuf itated a peculiar and powerful tnterest. All knew that tliis inter" esfjWas somehow ih'e cause of the war. 1 o strengthen, perpetuate and extend this interest waa the object or : whiefr- the - insur gents would.ru J (h Uniory fey war. while the restrict the terfitor! er party expect or the duration ed. - - - rt-:.;.-' ' , - Neither anticipate! that the cause of the conflict might cease, even ..before the conflict itself might cease.

It may seem strange that any men ebould dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's fncee, but let ns judge not lest we be judgeil. The prayers of both should not 1 e answered. That of neither has 4een answered fully. The Almighty has Hie own purposes.

HOWUSONIRS OF WAR MAT BE DISCHARGED. During the present week a young gentleman from Gibson county, Tennessee, came to this city for the purpose, if possible, of procuring the discharge of five prisoners of war at miii-iary prisons in the Northwest, lie brought letters to the Hon. L. Anderson of Kentucky, invoking his assistance. This 'morning Mr. Anderson started him to the President with a statement in the following words and figures: PRISONERS OF WAR. Benj. Bobbin, Camp Morton. S. 1) Anderson, Camp Morton. . A. V' A 1 ford. Camp Morton. " W. L. Eastwood, Camp DouglasJ . Jas. F. Thomas, Camp Douglas. I am not personally acquainted with the above named persons, out they are recommended by ten true men (with - whom I am personally acquainted) as proper persons, to be permitted to take the oath and return home. From the recommendations and information received, 1 ask the President to permit tbem to be released on taking the- oath of Decentr ber, 1803. Lc. Anderson. In 1 ha forenoon of to-day, the young gentleman referred to appeared at the President's with this paper and asked to be permitted to jiresent it, fie was' informed by C. O'Leary, who h in charge of the door of the President's o trice, that lie coold not le permitted to enter. Subsiequently, npoa teing informed of the ob-jei't of the call, he was taken aside and told tjy.O'Learr that if he woild pay, him fifty dollars he (0 Leary) would take charge of the fianefs and procure tlie-President'a order for lie release! tues prisoners; mat otuerwise, that out any . nrubabilily of having an (utrview money at the hotel; nothing like that amount with him. He left the papers, however, with O'Leary ,"ajd reported the facia above , recited to me. , , I went with h im' immediately to the Presi dent's hoMseintending to play . a simple and rustic part. With some difculty I succeeded in diisaroiing of air suspicion and ar-; ranged with fiirn to pay the fifty dollars ' so so6n as the PresMent's order fW tH rli&cliare of tbee jriponer ohould be handed to -the geutleiriati adore n'aie t Leary -promised to meet h;in at his room at the National Hotel (taking the number at precisely 3o'clock-to-day, when he wan to bring the order of tie President for the release of tb'e prisoners and receive the amount sipulated. I remained out of sieht until the order for the discharge- of h prisoner was delivered and the , money paid. Just as O'Leary -was bowing himself out, I intercepted him, forced him back into the room, denounced liim as a swindlef, and caused him to surrender the money (thirty dollars), that being the amouat which be had agreed to take finally, because of. the- assur- ance that nothing would be advanced for two of the prigouers, and the inability of the gentleman to pay more for the others. The order of the President tor the release of the prisoners is written on the paper which was 6ignedjby M.rjAnderson.and is. in the following words: .

M.. amid rain and storm, and mud, and pelt, and puddle, of the hardest kind, Mrs. Lincoln gave a. gand, intended to be - a family, reception, at, I, P. M. . The Court Journal ere characterizes it, thus : : Mrs. Lincoln ws most elegantly and gracefully attired, and her feminine guests fully loi lowed her -example in that respect. Atnong.the distinguished pei cons present besides several members of the Cabinet and their ladies, we observed Miss Harriet Lane; Com. Harwood; the Russian Minister and lady; the Spanish Minister and suite; the lady of Senor F. T, Orttroujeaga, Chilian , Minister; Adolph Gosling, Consul General of. Hanover; . apd a goolly number of other members of Cdngress, and representatives of the rmy and navy. But this was nothing, in comparison with Mrs. Senator Sprague's .tAatinee, at the house if Chief Justice Chase.- Nomina in French means evening , in fashionable English, you know. The guests began to arrive about 4 P. M. Magnincent saloons welcomed them, and lighted tapers, and Chinese lanterns, and a (government band of music. The lady hoet was in all the grace of youtei and beauty, and the splendor of toilette. The German" open ed about p ir. 11., in an artificial ball room. so trie fifty by oae httuded feet, drape-I, gauz-H, festooned, flagged, flounced and all ravish ing to the eye, with incense and beauty. The "German" kept up till 9 P. M. when Quad rilles succeeded. The dancers beautifully wound themselves ud-ii their irauze festoons. lost atid re-lost themselves in the mazes o! the misty dance, to iHe astonishment of all . rural beholders. No Ballet corps on the Academy floor could beat the spectacle. The supper,- dejenucr, perhaps it ouch t to be said, was in high art. Cofifectioaaries rivaled sculptors and painters. And every body was there. Thue went on the Matine till 10 or -11 P.

Patent Extensions. . A Representative in Congress, writing the New York Tribune a private note, says: - Yout may give up the Goodyear extension. A more outrageous caee than that the metallic coffin patent was 'put through yesterday under the previous question. It taxes the ashe of every soldier whose body ia removed. I want you to look at the Globe,, which .contains the proceeding not yet out and just look at the members who voted to tax tMe public untold millions on that patent. If the country survives this Congress, God be praia-eiU. . : -.. -' .. - ;-. . ... c.. The Tribune remarks: , e beg leave to assure ou friends that our country, wift survive this Congress fop is very strong and hearty but we should cot feel confident in its ability to withstand another such. Happily, it is in little danger of Being subject to so racklftg an ordeal. This Congress, which is thus characterized by the ew York Tribune, the great Organ of the Adrhinistration, as so. terribly corrupt, is the eaiajk Congress whose passage of the ato- lmon aurendiuent to the Constitution has m- apired in them such delight. When its-own friend thus describe it, we, yho were opposed hat amendment, cannot be astooisLed that such a body should have passed it. ; - The Present J Ctttditlbh of Ireland.

Boys, read it and profit thereby: "We have seen as many as five or six great hearty boys sitting by. tie kitchen stove, toasting their feet and cracking nuts or jokes, white their mother, a slender woman, has gone to the wood pile or lo the welL.fr water, or to the meat house to cut a frozen steak 'for dinner. This is not as it should be. There is much work about the house too hard for" women. Heav-y lifting, hard extra work should be done by those more able. Boys, don't let your mothers do it ail, especially if she is a, feeble woman. Dull prosy house-work is irksome enowgb U best.- It is a long work, too, it bein itnpoeeilile lo tell when it is quite done, and then.ori the morrow the. whole is to be gone over with again.
