SATURDAY, MARCH 11, 1865,
f War 1 News.
The country was considerably startled,
on Monday last, by the announcement that
; Sheridan had attacked Early, near Waynes
-boro, defeated him arid captured 1800
prisoners. The; news was startling from
the fact that Sheridan was not known to
bS moving. .The first reports were .dis
credited, bat later news confirms the de
, ieatofEarly audlhecapture of 40 officers,
1300 men and .100 wagons. Waynesboro

: In speaking of the defeat of Early, a cor
respondent of the New York Herald pays:
Early was found negr JVaynpsbpro, on a
rapge of hills, with five pieces of, .artillery
~iq .position. Gen, Custer dismounted two
foments as skirmishers. On the rear of
either side of the road were’ two solidregt

-VfciArkr were made at once. The rebels
flred one volley, and-then fled like sheep.
Their attempt to escape was fruitless, as
.Custer closed hialinps upon them and sur-
tha entirefor.ee. General
Early lidnot attempt to rallyhismen,but
rode:off on a fleet horse, attended by an
orderly. The victory was ahnost a blood
less one, as we only lost ten or twelve kill
' 'ed mid wounded.
Sherman is reported to have formed a
.with Qen. Schofield. The rebels
say Geh, Sherman has about 70,000 men,
jand it is estimated that Schofield has 40,-

The President rode in a close carriage. The
house-tops were crowded, as were the sidewalks,
:and there was ranch cheering as the' procession
jnOved along the avenue.
A monitor, gaily decked with flags and manned
with sailors, was in the line, and fired salutes at
intervals. ifs i
The visaing Philadelphia fire companies attrac
ted great attentron by their beautifully adorned ap
paratus. bands were interspersed
throughout the whole.procession, and the line was
one continual ring of music.
Tlte procession was one hour in passing a given
point, and the length was probably over a mile.
The streets were in an ahpost impassable con
dition, which made the display jjot as magnificent
tuTu .would have been, though it was exceedingly
beautiful. One novel feature was the colored
troops and Odd Fellows, with their band.
The Senate Chamber soon began to present an
animated scene. In front of the Secretary's desk
a seat was placed for Mr. Lincoln, or, as he is de
scribed in the programme, ‘"The President of the
United States, President elect.” To the left ot it
were chairs for the Committee ot Arrangements.
On die right were seats for the ex-Presidents and_
and the J udges of the Supreme
Court. On the right of the latter were seats, for
tlte Diplomatic Corps. On the left of the chair
were seats (or the heads sff departments. On the
right and leftof the main entrance were places for
privileged persons.
The ladies of the families of the Diplomatic
Corps occupied the gallery reserved for them on
the east sidp-of the Chamber, directly opposite the
chair. The other galleries were reserved for ladies
in general, -and they soon filled all the available
space, making a very gay appearance.
To the loft of the chair were seats for members
of the House and members elect, and these, os well
as the Senator,-, came in rapidly till all the seats
were fifledl The entrance of the Diplomatic Corps,
all in full Court suits, made a sensation. So did
that of tbp Justices of the Supreme Court in their
black silk robes of office.
■This being done, the President of the United
States liras ushered into the Senate, and took his
seat for ja brief period at the right of the Vice
President.
The order of proceedings was then announced,
and the chamber was slowly emptied,-the crowd
making its way towards the east portico.
Just at this foment the sun burst through tho
dense mass of clonds that had hung like a pall
oyer tho city all the morning, drenching everything
with rain.
The clouds disappeared almost by a miracle,
and heaven's azore canopy alone formed the roof
of the great cathedral where the High Priest of
Freedom was to he consecrated anew for his .sub
lime mission.
• Arriving at the cast portico, the Presidentelect
took a seat provided for him, and the other distin
guisbed persons tilling the whole vast platform had
places assigned to them. The President elect
then advanced to the front, End Chief Justice
Chase administered the oath of office, which the
President pronounced in a clear, solemn voice, as
follows:
‘T do solemnly swear that I will faithfully exe
cute tho office of the President of the United
States, and will, to the best of my ability, protect
and defend the Constitution oftho-Unitcd States-.”
The President then delivered his Inaugural Ad
dress as follows: '•
He held the written" address in his hand, and
read it in a clear and distinct voice, which t could
be heard by the entire assembly. The address oc
jnpjed about .ten minutes in its delivery, add was
several times interrupted with applause. ’
’ ISAUGOTuU. ADOBESS. ~
, PeUpw^conntrymeti:—At this second appearing
to take the oath of the Presidential office, there is
less occasion for an extended address than there
was at the first. Then, a statement somewhat in
detail of a course to be pursued seemed fittingfand
proper." Now, at the eipiritibn of four yiars,
during which public declarations have been .con
stantly called forth on every point and phase of
the great contest which still absorbs the attention
and engrosses the energy of the nation, little that
is new could be presented.
The progress of our arms, upon winch all else
chiefly depends, Is as’well known to the public as
to myself, and it is, I trust, reasonably satisfactory
amheneouragiiig to all.
With highliopes for the futnro, no prediction in
regard to it is ventured. On the occasion corres
ponding to this four years ago", all thoughts were
anxiously directed to an impending civil war. All
dreaded it. All sought to avert it. ‘
While the inaugural address was being delivered
from this place; devoted altogether to the saving
of the Union without war, insurgent agents were
in the city seeking to destroy it without war, seek
ing to-dissolve the Union and divide the effects tiy
negotiation. ■ |
Both parties deprecated war ; bat one of them
flfoold make war rather than let the nation survive,
and the other would accept war rather than perish;
and the warcamo. One-eighth of the whole popu
lation were colored slaves, not distributed generally
over the Union, but localized in the Southern part
df it.' #
These slaves constituted a peculiar and benefi
cial interest. ; All: knew that this interest was
somehow the cause of the war. To strengthen,
perpetuate, and extend this interest was the object
for which the insurgents would rend the Union'
even by war; while the government claimed no
right to do more than to restritt the territorial en
largement of it. •
Neithcr pnrty expected for the war the magni
tude ttor tfae it has already attain-,
ed. Neither anticipated that the, cause qf the con -
Aid might cease with dr even before the conflict
itself should cease;' : SaeK looked for an easier tri
umph, and a result -ledi fondamentaj and aajtonn

Guarding.the Bacjk Door.'
New life has-been infused into the armr here by
the arrival of several thousand fresh troops. —
■Nearly every day for the past week there have ar
rived at this place two (all regiments of new troops,
and some days as many as three regiments have
passed up the streets. These arc mostly from
Illinois hnd Indiana. The precise destination of
this new army is not yet certain'to outsiders, but it
is certain that it is designer! to augment General
Thomas' army sufficiently to check any movement
which may be made from the direction of Rich
mond.
General Tljomas returned a day or two since
from Kastport, where he has been, it is believed, to
arrange for the future movements of his armv.—
Should the apprehension str strongly manifested
here, result in Lee’s cutting away from Richmond,
and coming through East Tennessee, and thence
west of the Mississippi nver into Texas and Mex
ico, it is evident that to check him Thomas must
concentrate his army at Chattanooga and Knox
ville. “Things are working. ”
Thejexpedition which the public has so long been
expecting General Thomas-would make through
Alabama to Mobile, will not he made from East
port. However, cheering news may be looked for
from the neighborhood of Mobile in a short time.
Last evening the train from Chattanooga to this
city was partially thrown from the track at Smyr
na, by the breaking of a bridge. Quite a number
were severely injured, and two or three tilled.
There is scarcelyia night but some one is killed
in this city. The town is filled with murderers
and blacklegs, and it is not safe for a person to
be out after dark. ‘ Xight before last, and last
night, three men were shot dead—one man while
on his way for a physician to attend bis wife in her
confinement.
Mrs. H. S. Foote, wlftvofthe rebel ex-Congress
man, is here. She received the cold shoulder from
the citizens, even amongrffieny of her old acquaint
ances, and it was with rmicli difficulty she could
procure a boarding place for herself and family,
including the rebel “ Haiigman " himself; and
only succeeded after much effort and ' solicitation
among several boarding , houses. This yonr cor
respondent knows, because she called to get board
at tho house at which he stops. When she read
the report in the papers that her husband had em
barked for Europe, she cried and felt much disap
pointment,; because she expected him to follow
her immediately to this place and remain. She
remains very quiet and secluded.— Chicago Jour.
Fearful Volcanic Phenomena in the
Pacific Island.
The Honolulu Commercial Advert iter gives the
following account of the strange spectacle of the
submerging and uprising of the island in the burn
ing crater of- Kilauea, in December last. The
same phenomenon occurred in June last, with the
dificrence that it then disappeared several days,
and was restored by the spouting liquid lava :
I was at Kilauea on the Oth and 10th instant.
There was much action in the great'-caldron of
Halemeuma. Mother Tele was boiling up her
rock soup with vehemence, os if preparing for a
rain of young volcanoes. Besides this raging
lake, I saw seven other fires at different points in
the crater. One Jake was boiling most intensely
about_a mile from the fountain lake in a nortii
westetjy.direction. The natives told me that a
day or tftO previous to my arrival at Kilauea, a
jagged cone of the size of a church, and forming
an elevated island near the centre of, the igneious
lake became so undermined by the intense boiling
of the fusion along its apparent base, that it fe.l
over, and was submerged in the fiery abyss; but
that, after a little time, it rose again, like a whale
from the deep, and shook cataracts of molten min
erals from its'burning brow. In visiling a puiu
station on the highlands, some fifteen miles from
Kilauea, I passed many large pits and cone crateps,
most of them, ancient and densely wooded, from
300 to 800 feet in height and depth. I spent a
night near a beautiful ! pit crater called Xapati,
nearly circular, about 8(»0 feet deep, a mile, per
haps, in diameter, and with a bottom of sand so
smooth and hard thm a regiment of cavalry might
be reviewed there. Tine-eighth of a mile from this
crater fissures are opened in the earth, out of
which scalding steam and smoke have issued from
time immemorial, and affording heat enough to
cook for an army. v

• ■;) New Yobk, Marcii 10.
By the arrival of the Dudley Buck, which left
Newbern Monday evening at six o'clock, we learn
that up to the 4th irist. warm showers had been
falling for a Week, making the roads bad. It
cleared oil on night. The enemy had
felled great numbers of trees across the roads and
pallia leading from Newbern to Kinston, which
were being removed by the force advancing from
Newbern; which force was within a short distance
of Kinston. ‘
Refugees arrived in Newbern state that Fayetle
ville, N. C., was in onr possession last week, and
that Sherman was within forty miles, of Raleigh.
Rebel soldiers were deserting in companies and in
some cases by regiments. ; Some of them were re
turning to their homes. The people pay but little
attention to the proclamation of Governor Vance
calling to arms, and in most places in North Caro
lina the people go forth to meet Sherman with
words of welcome, and are mot particular about
placing their stock and supplies out of his reach;
Quite a panic prevails among the negroes' in
North Carolina, since the announcement that they
are to be compelled to fight in the rebel army.—

Nashville. March 2.
The Carolina Campaign.
The Augusta Conttitutionalitt of the 17th nit.,
says the Fifteenth and Seventeenth Corpa, with
Geo. Sherman’s command, has a baggage train
three miles teogi The Fifteenth Corps became
drank and pillaged Columbia, banting the entiie
length of Main street. Gen. Sherman ordered the'
pillagers arid burners to be shot. Two or three
hundred citizens left with the Yankees, Most of
the people remaining are obliged to litre in huts.'
Their condition is'dreadful! Sherman left two
hundred head of beef cattle for the sick and wound
ed, and gave arms to the citizens to protect them
selves from negroes. Even - article of subaislenc*
; was carried off-—peliars, outbuildings, &0,, beilis
r searched. The city was shelled furiously before
: taking possession. ’
The same paper says there are three thousand
: locomotives and cats penned np at Charlotte. It
i says Sherman will ofrcourse destroy this stock.—
f They were heavily laden with Stores. TheSonth
; era Express Company saved all its valuables, but
' the mails have been lost everywhere.
. A Charlotte correspondent of the Richmond
says Sherman's advance on Columbia was
unexpected, sudden and surprising. It fonnd all
unprepared, and no one cool enough to do any
thing. When his guns were heard in the city,,
public officers for the first time began to think of
removing the Government stores, when flanked
out of theif position on the opposite side of the
Congafee. Then they began upon the work of
sending ofi the stores, bat the time was too short,
and much was left. The worst feature of the
whole scene was the plundering done by Wheeler’s
cavalry. This was done-most systematically, as
if they were trained to stealing.
