and damning was never seen before.—
Mothers begged for the lives of their
children. Fathers shouldered their off
spring and swore like troopers. The
crush was greatest at the carriage-way
of the east wing. It is a wonder that
nobody was killed there. Several ladies
fainted and had to be carried off. The
darkeys suffered most Soldiers knocked
negro womenrcughly about, and called
them very uncomplimentary names.
It seemed as if there was a reaction
from the anti-slavery sentiments of the
inaugural, and every negro boy got an
extra push on aec3iint of his color. —
There were no remarks about the
ceremonies, for all fcvere occupied in
taking care of •themselves and each
other. Contusion worse confounded
reigned supreme.

At night there was a grand reception
at the White Irouse, where "Mrs. Lin
coln stood near to Mr. Lincoln, acknow
ledging the courtesy of such of the pass
tr as # .s-by recognized her. She was
chastely dressed in a silk of a light neu
tral tint, drab, ornamented with lace.'
In the vestibule, among the number of
visitors, was a "good specimen of the
almighty nigger darkey, accompanied
by several negro damsels."
AM»T J')ll>-«'N TAKKi Tim OATH —HIS "sPJ.Kf ll" IV
AIiVAMk. •
A Washington letter thus depicts the
scene in the Senate Chamber:
While the foreign ambassadors were
taking their seats, Mr. Hamlin concluded
his speech, when Vice-President elect
Mr. Johnson commenced his address,
before he had taken the oath of office.
He had been talking about five minutes
when the President entered the door
from the Senate lobby, at the right of
the Clerk's desk, escorted by Senators
Hendricks and Foster, Mr. Lincoln
taking his seat at the end of the Clerk's
desk, bear the members of his Cabinet.
During all this time Andrew John
son—for such he simply was then, not
having taken the oath of office (would to
heaven that it could be said in behalf of
the country that he is still only Andrew
Johnson)—continued his speech. Such
a speech. It might have been appro
priate at some hustings in Tennessee ;
hut it certainly was far from being ap
propriate on this occasion. It was not
only a ninety-ninth rate stump speech,
hut disgraceful in the extreme. He had
nut proceeded far when Senators on the
Republican side began to hang their
heads, sink down in their seats, look at
each other with significance, as much as
to say, " Is he crazy, or what is the mat
tor?" They exhibited in every feature
great uneasiness. There was no mis
taking the fact that the Senators were
mortified in the extreme. The Demo
cratic Senators leaned forward and ap
peared to be chuckling with each other j
over the figure made by the Republican
party through their Vice President elect.
The* foreign ministers showed unmis
takable signs of amazement as the inco
berent sentences came from Mr. John
son's lips. Republican Senators moved j
around in theirtseats, unable to sit still
under the exhibition before them. Some
of the Senators sat sidewise, others
turned their backs, as if anxious to hide
themselves.
Luddly for the members of the House
of Representatives, they did not reach !
the Senate until several minutes after 12,
and they were not subjected to but a
small portion of the scene.
The speech was disconnected, the sen
tences so incoherent that it is impossible
to give an accurate report of his speech.
As his sentences came tip in the report
ers' gallery, the statements that your
President is a plebeian—l am a plebeian,
glory in it —Tennessee has never gone
out of the Union —I am going to talk two
minutes and a half on that point—l want
you to hear me. Tennessee always was
loyal—rwe all derive our power from the
people—Chief Justice Chase is but a
creature of the people—l want you to
hear me two minutes on that point—you,
Mr. Stanton, Secretary of War, derive
your authority and power from the peo
ple. (" Who is Secretary of the Navy ?"
was then heard, in a voice of less volume.
Some one responded, " Mr. Welles".)—
You, Mr. Welles, Secretary of the Navy,
get your power from the people. This
Mas the strain and tone of the whole
speech, mixed with a lecture to the Se
nate on the action of the Senate on the
rebellious States.
It was impossible to give a full report
fitting in the gallery. The constantelatter
of voices in the rear, declaring, " What
a shame," " Has ho no friends " ? "Is
there no person who will have mercy
upon him " f " Tell him to stop and save
the country further disgrace," were
so numerous that it entirely prevented a
full report being made. The only full
report was that o! the official reporters
of the Olole. The Senators, however,
were so chagrined at the speech that
they notified the Globe reporter to sup
press his copy, and wait until M>. John
son could write out a speech, that this
■flair might not go before the world in
that form. It is charitable to say that
his condition was such that he was unfit
to make a speech. He evidently did
not shun Bourbon county, Kentucky, on
his way here. .
Mr. Johnson finally concluded his
speech, whereupon Vice President Hain
an administered to him the oath of
othce. Mr. Hamlin read the oath by
sentences, and Mr. Johnson repeated it
•J* _"■• The effort of the Vice-Presi
<J-t elect to go through with tbe form
J "tjentiag the sentences as read by
K'-SS 1 WM P»' lDfu l »n tha extreme.
2S?!_H summered, repeated nor
jTv__* he concluded this task, Mr.
mm turn* to the audience and
commenced another speech, giving to
those assembled bis idea of the oath
which he had just taken. He had utter
ed but two or three sentences when some
of the officers standing near him had the
good senso' to stop him, he having
already occupied some nineteen
minutes in his former speech, and
delayed the proceedings beyond all
usages. They were unwilling that
they should be any longjer delayed by the
incoherent remarks of this new official.
It has heretofore been the custom to
close all speeches the moment that the
Judges of the Supreme Court and di
plomatic corps reach the Senate Cham
ber. Mr. Hamlin, in accordance with
this usage, closed his speech* in time to
Johnson some seven minutes to
make his remarks before the arrival of
the above dignitaries. But Mr. Johnson
did not appear to understand the usage
on such occasions, or else was not in
clined to follow them, for the diplomatic
gentlemen heard the bulk of his speech,
and, unfortunately, the worst part of it.
Tho moment that the new Vice-President
had been silenced, Mr. Hamlin declared
the old Senate adjourned.
ANOTHER RAID.
A dispatch from Oswego, New York,
dated March 4th, says,*
Mayor Grant has received a dispatch
from Governor Fenton, stating that the
War Department has received informa
tion from Halifax that the rebels in the
Provinces are contemplating a raid on
Oswego and Rochester. A public meet
ing is to be held this afternoon, to take
such steps as may be necessary.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Hugh McCulloch has been appointed
Secretary of the Treasury, to succeed
William Pitt Fessenden. He is a native
of Maine.
Congress remained in session during
the whole of Friday night and up to
noon On Saturday, when it expired by
constitutional limitation. The amended
tax and tariff bills and all the important
appropriation bills were passed. The
miscellaneous appropriation bill was
lost.
President Lincoln is the first Presi
dent since 1833 —an interval of thirty
two years —who has been re-inaugurated.
General Jackson was the last President
before Mr. Lincoln to be chosen a second
time.
IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.
\ From the New York Tribune, March C]
Advices received in this city through private
somcea Irom Mexico state thatthewar in the United
State*fa attracting the special.attention of the Im
perial Government. Tho police are directed to ar
rest all who express their sympathy with the Union
cuuse, and one man, named Valders, has teen sen
cenei.d to a year's imprisonment for t-peaking fa
vorably about the United States and predicting the
speedy endof the rebellion.
The Impel iul Treasury is constantly getting louver.
The hostility oi tbe church party to the Lniperor
Maxiui'.liau is on the increase.
The I'tienJs tyt the Juaiist cause here refuse to
give.'civdcnoe to the reported defeat of Portirio Diaz
at Oaucaea.
The New Orleans Times of the 26th ultimo says;
The reported expulsion of the American (,'onsnl
from Muuimoras appears to be continued by his ar
rival at the South we:>t Pass.
The latest news from Matamoras is that tho Ame
rican tiag has beeu hauled down by some unknown
party.
The Timet of the 2.lthultimo i. iofoimed that the
assigned reasons of tbe Emperor Maximilian for
delivering the passport to the American Consul at
Matnuioras is the non-recognition of the French-
Austri-n authorities in Mexico by the Government
of the United States.
The Times also says that it is reported that Gene
rals Caraval and Cortina* are marching on Mata
moras, where General Mejra, with 4,000 troops,
awaits their attack.
General Uurlbut has ordered that no permits for
vessels or merchandise b« granted for Matamoras
until farther orders.
A Washington telegram to the New York Herat*
has the following gasconade about Mexican af
fairs:
The atlaiis of Mexico are at present attracting a
good deal of attention here, and I have heard a va
riety of opinions expressed, in this connection, as
to Napoleon's idea in n:>t making any allusion to
the war in this country in his recent speech to th*
French Chambers. The Emperor, no doubt, had
good reason fur his silence. In tbe same connec
tion, I have heard, on very good authority, that
important dispatches have reached the State De
partment from Paris, bearing directly on our rela
tions with France and Mexico. The report goes
that, at a late b*U at the Tuileries, the Emperor, in
an oil-hand manner, said to a distinguished Ame
rican gentleman pieseut, ** I am sorry to see that
report in the papers about Sonora, as there is not a
word of truth in it. For my part, lam only desi
rous of getting out of the whole matter." This
was, if tiue, a strange admission for Napoleon to
make; but, for my part, I am willing to tnink that
there is strong ground for believing in the correct
ness of the report Tho question of the annexation
to France of any Mexican territory is, I imagine,
one for future consideration, and its solution will
altogether depend upon circOmstancea. In the
meantime, we shall soon see whether Napoleon will
prove his words by his deeds.

THE NEWS.
All still continues qujet on the lines
about Petersburg and Richmond. The
heavy rains of yesterday have again
rendered the ground unfit for the move
ment of artillery.
Tho enemy, on the Ist instant, again
occupied Suffolk with fifteen hundred or
two thonsand troops, mostly negroes.
A COMMERCIAL TRANSACTION.
For some days past parties in this city
have been sending large quantities of
manufactured tobacco hence to Frede
ricksburg. Report said that this to
bacco was to be traded with the Yan
kees for bicon, and that General Single
ton was the prime mover in the arrange
ment, this being the business that
brought him again to Richmond. It was
transported to Hamilton's crossing by
rail, and thence hauled to Fredericks
burg, five miles distant, in wagons. The
Yankees were expected to come up in
vessels to Fredericksburg, bring bacon,
and carry off the tobacco.
On Monday last, two hundred thousand
pounds of tobacco had been sent up the
Fredericksburg railroad, forty thousand
pounds of which had been hauled to
Fredericksburg and stored in a ware
house on the Rappahannock, convenient
for Shipping, and the other hundred and.
sixty thousand pounds Was in thirty one
box railroad cars at Hamilton's crossing.
The enemy came up to Fredericksburg
in gunboats on Monday night, but
brought no bacon that we have been able
to hear of. Their first step was to send
a party of cavalry to Hamilton's crossing,
who set fire to and destroyed all the cars
and all the tobacco there. This party
also burnt the bridge over the Massapo
nax creek, a short distance this side of
Hamilton's crossing.
There are two reports as to what was
done with the tobacco in Fredericks
burg—one, that the enemy carried it
off; tho other, that they set fire to the
warehouse and destroyed both house and
tobacco. It is ascertained that they,
burned tho wagons (five in number) em
ployed in hauling the tobacco from Ham
ilton's to Fredericksburg, and carried off
the teams. So ends one of the most
brilliant schemes of our latter-day
speculators. The only thing to be se
riously regretted about the business is
the loss by the Fredericksburg Railroad
Company of the thirty-one valuable
freight cars. We presume the company
would not have risked its property by
leaving it at so exposed a point as Hamil
ton's crossing unless they had felt satis
fied that >some understanding had been
come «to with the enemy that it would
not be molested.
The common report was, that the
enemy would interfere neither with the
road nor the tobacco while this bacon
tobacco traffic was going on. The whole
thing seemed ridiculous enough, it must
be admitted; but there can, at the pre
sent time, be no report so absurd as not
to find believers. The loss of the to
bacco is a small matter. There is much
more of the article still left in Richmond
than either Government or people know
what to do with.
THE NEGRO SOLDIER BILL.
House bill to increase the military
force of the Confederate States by put
ting negroes into the army was passed by
the Senate yesterday by a majority of
one, with an. amendment limiting the
per centage of negroes between eighteen
and forty-five that shall be taken in each
State.
