GRANT'S INAUGU#I: The 'clangor al Address of Pres dent grant, which will be found in Another. ccdnom, ia- compact-and-to the point. , He uses no., siirpinfune. Of words, but expreesei his ideas with greutbrevity,and perspiCacity. He feels tine:re'sionsibilitien of the exalted position he.occupies,bat does. not fear' them, because he intends to die :barge his duties faithfully. He is wart mewled, and 'therefore free to act as his judgment may dictate. Oa all leading public qnestioits he will, express his views to Cougresa, urge them as the-importance-of the sub ject may demand, - and exercise the veto to defeat measures of which be does not approve ; but all laws, whethWpassed . with his sanction of not, will be "faithfully execnted." Oa all questions he will haine policy te commend,but none to enfoice against, the public will. In the settlement of new 'questions which will come up within the next four years, he thinkti, the object aimed at should be the 'greatest good to the greatest num ber," and this, he says, "requires 80- curity of person and property, and frenreligious and 'political opinions in every part of our common country." He favors the payment of the nation al debt, principal and interest, in coin,and a return to specie paymentB as soon as it can be effected without detriment to the interests of, the 'country. No one who holds the doer I trine of repudiationof one farthing of 1 the Public debt need look to .him for appeintment to office. A faithful' collection of revenue ; strict acconn tability for every dollar collected ; retrenchment in expenditures in every department of the Government.; the rebuilding of a prostrate commerce ; the treatment of foreign powers as individuals under equitable laws deal with each other ; the protection of law-abiding citizens, native or natu ralized, wherever their rights are jeopardized or the flag of the country floats ; respecting the rights of d all nations, and demanding in return equal respect for our own, in failure of which, treatit g them as they treat ink; a humane and Christianizing policy towards the Indians, looking to their ultimate citizenship ; equal suffrage without regard to race or color ; .forbearance one towards another throughout the land, and a determined effort on the part of all towards cementing a happp Union— these are the main features of the Inaugural, and every loyal heart will respond to the President's request for prayer to Almighty God in behalf of their consummation. M. President GRANT is just forty seven years of age, having been born on the Vith of April,lB22. His birth. place was Point Pleasant, Ohio, on toe Ohio River, twenty-five miles above Cincinnati. He entered West Point July 1, 1839, and graduated on the 30th of June, 1843, when be was in his twenty-second year. He-served a short time in the regular army, and then entered civil life. As soon as the rebellion broke out, lie offered his services to Gov. (now Senator) YATES, of Illinois, where be then residtd,and was appointed Aid on the Governor's staff, with the position of Mustering Officer of volunteers. He soon de manded service, and was ap - pointed to the Colonelcy of the Twen ty-first Regiment of Illinois Volun terra. With that regiment he enter ed upon duty in Missouri, quickly rose V/ the rank of Brigadier-General, - afterward (by special act of Con gress)-Lieutenant General,and finally (by special enactment) General,with the command of all the armies of the Union. During ihis time h 3 fOught numerous great battles—from Fort Donelson to Richmcrad--and was ad mitted on all hands to be the soldier whose energy and genius crushed the rebellion and saved the Union. He has now entered upon another task, which will require still greater abili ty ; but the country confides in him, and we firmly believe that the public confidence will be justified by his ad• ministration. MEXICO —Recent advicee from Vera Cruz, via cable from Havana, are in teresting. General ALATONE r in com mand of the national troops, had quite a sharp engagement with the rebels node General Nxcarrs, whom he encountered at .Tlascala. The rebeliwere routed with severe loss, one of their Generals (Mite) being among the killed. Colonel Patrro,on adherent of NEGRETE, had been cap tured near Wra Cruz and shot. The Mexican Government is sanguine of speedily crushing the revolt. The insurgents at Merida, Yucatan, had been dispersed, and their ringleaders all shot. The United States Minister had had frequent interviews with President JUAREZ on questions of im portance. Considerable political ag itation still exists in the capitol. 11116. It seems to be a- very hard matter to obtain anything like relia ble intelligence from Cuba since the inauguration of the revolution or in surrection, as the Spanish Govern ment officials in Havana choose to style it. The last advices give some details of a desperate battle recently occurring, and adds that the Gover nment claims a victory. The total force of the revolutionists on the is land is. set.down at seven. thouiand, The dispatchm3 *warded Irons Ra vens for publication of course under go a rigid :censorahip, and it is to presume that considerable :nears salsiorsble to the; Government' is suppressed for predentiarreaktim been taxed to its utmost to bring the crowd hadmderittettitA4z*ftklitill/317. ration, peoplt ,a4the military, fire and alibi Ms itiziatfritrwhich oontemplated taking part in the ceremonies. = The bad* And board--, ing-houses have been ft* to overflowing '. for some days, and woe to the unfortunate IMPO.I4ASMIAni.sks,4 1 -01?-dtIe e d for his xecaption: ": - Fuirdshed Moms ' could be bud foilidatortein't& and'Oni ton seethed diipissed 'Make* thresh of the event of lotir - pars oieurzenee: , ThC niCaningiresiold eadvietand theme.' lese;'litttil 'the littifi'ti-lerltii) comniencanteitt-it ", Idercfseei n ' 'the Olcsidebogatitntitali irrat, Mid came out in allida glorywhich fact the reportire Aline opportanityto display their deeiriPtlyo elaguenek raid tO'Cididge in their allusions to its sighilleariee.

'flip, with 6 host, of aids. There was a and dM,- Play of military , regular and Toluateer: , many of theeompardes haying come from a distance to participate. There were_ , also fire companies and civic associations with their insignia and banners. A notable fea. l tore of the procession was the extraordi nary turn-out of "American , citizens of African descent." The inevitable - Colored individual seemed to understand that he bad some rights which white men were bound to respect. They were in the _pro cession in the form of . .Intlncibles,. with , capes and torches, and crenizations the nature of which I did not understand, each cloudy hand bearing the stirs and stripes, and the ivory shinning along, the whole line, displayed in their evident enjoyment of the occasion. Fer my part, there : was no part of the performance that gave, me more satisfaction. Perhaps I was ii 4 dittle malicious in my pleasure, far I could not help thinking of one bright February day, eight years. ago, „rhea the ceremony of, counting the eleltoral votes took place, how I stood upon Pennsylvania avenue, and saw a battery of flying artillery gp by, intended doubtless to intimidate meditated treason. aid saw also the scowl of hatred upon almost every countenance,. and heard on every side the half-suppressed utterances of rage and hate. At that day, this city, built by the money of the people, filled with a people dependent upon the govern ment, was a nest of the vilest traitors.— Much of the old treason is latent yet, in the breasts of those who since that day never ceased to draw their 'daily stipend from the treasury, but who have covered their vileness with an outward garb of fatty to the Union. But I have wandered from my topic, the Inauguration procession, which has in the meantime, passed on up the avenue, The sidewalks was filled with a crowd of eager, pushing people, while on every projection ,where a foot-hold could be obtained, was perched or stood a spectator. The windows were let at large prices, and many enter prising shop-keepepi had put up stands in front of their places of" business, all of ,which seemed to be occupied, The column marched to the south of tho Capitol and the different organizations were marched into the vacant space east of the Capitol, which was kept clear by a body of regulars acting as guards. Through the kindness of Capt. Hues; I passed the pickets, and had the "am" of the encloseff space. * ln the meantime, the Housek the Diplo-, matie - corps, the Supreme Cort, and all the distinguished and privileged persons, had assembled in the' Senate Chamber,s where the oath of office was administered to Vice President Corsex, and there was a general rush from tne-calleries for the plat form where WI ceremony of inaugurating the President' was to be performed. The platform was built upon the steps at the east entrance of the CepitoL There was a mere staging, without any attempt at deco ration, except that tho American flag, was drawn in front of a low railing. Upon the platform were chairs and a small table. Standing but a short distance in front of the platform,' I had an excellent opportun ity to see, though hearing was out of the question, as there was a constant arrival•of belated fire companies, the braying of brass instruments, and the clangor of bells. Waiting for the appearance of the select who were to occupy the platform, I took a .careful survey of the surrounding crowd. Within the privileged circle, guarded by bayonets, were the numerous associations' which had made up the 'procession. Out, side there was literally a sea of human faces. The cordon of •toldiers was sur-. rounded by a deep line of persons, (in which the black made up quite i a share) priming eagerly againstthe military, whose utmost exertions were necessary to keep them back. But in front of the platform the great crowd had gathered. The square , in front • was densely- packed. The trees! were black with those who risked their" limbs add lives to see a President • inaugu rated. I expected every moment to see a branch give way ,and some one or, more drop to the ground. Piesently the father and family of Gen. Guar came upon the platform, and :Abe members of the House followed. The Su preme Court and Gen. Gee= then came, and after them Vice-President Corrax and the Senate. ThOsteps and platform were now well filled, end when the corps diplo matigee c.aixte, they were obliged to be con tent, not with back seats, but back stand ing-room. These foreign fellows Terre dressed in gorgeous array. They were be dizened with gold lace, and decorated with' ribbons and medals. They 'were a show of .themselves, and / would , very much liked' to have been a close observer, but I was too far distant to appreciate their..finery. One or two of them looked .somewhat like the wet figures Baas= used to show. I . don't mean to speak slightingly or. dispar agingly of these foreign tepresentitives, as: although I bavn't the honor of a personal acquaintance, I have no ' doubt • they -are' very worthy gentlemen, but their fantastic: finery looked somewhat ridieulotil. con treat with the republican Simplicity Of the rest of the company: ' • • General Gam in eimipany with the Su preme Court, advanced to the small table in fund, wher t !dui ishart delai Justice cyar.LlTM'iitid the'Preddiat elect an' oPen'tiblei upon *hiek the /atter laid Ma hand, .oerir much tbeianie. man ner M wideii ail men do who are l ' about to.
