AT TnE WIIITICHOUSX.
The column reached the President's House at about
o'clock, under an wrielouded sun, and presented the
finest military and civic display that has boon witnessed
in Washington for many yeare. ,
White the'procession wee in motion the notes of busy
Proliferation everywhere prevailed. The ringing of bells
was continued, and the display of flags, streamers, and
decorations, In all directions, wee in harmony with the
great ocession. The Government and oily offices and
places of business were closed, and there was a general
holiday. Pennsylvania avenue wage rowded with both
resident, and visitant.
The patriotic excitement was intense, In view of the
anticipated interesting event.
The view of the procession, as it .neared the Circle—
the great point of attraction—was truly splendid. The
mi btary comprised visiting companies from Maryland.
Alexandria, Va., New York, with those of the District
of Colardbic The Seventh Regiment eaoited, an they
did ou their former visit; universal admiration. The
various colored uniforms afforded pleasant contrasts—
the metallic adornments, and Arms, and accoutrements
iefritotitiglhe tale of the nu, which was then on the
otmline. Men on horse and afoot—the latter class es
pecially—had a fine opportunity of testing whether the
(deeming of the muddy avenue, yesterday, had to-day
sufficient accommodation* for their- locomotive pur
poses. It is to be presumed that this wise provision did
notprove altogether satisfactory. '
- A full force of policemen teas far in advance of the
imposing column, their business being to 'keep the way
clear for those who, to the sounds of many bands of
musioi.were briskly advancing.
In addition to these were the President, Vice Presi
dent, members of the Cabinet, Senators, and Repre
sentative', and other high dignitaries.
The surviving officers and aoldters of the Revolu
tion, in uniform, had a place merely on the printed pro
gramme. It was also provided that the navy officers.
together with the 'officers of the army, should appear
on horseback, but not, tt is suggested, wishing to be
considered horse marines, they made their display on
foot.
In addition to the others, were the city authorities,
members of the Maryland Legislature, the resident and
.visiting Masons, including the Fredericksburg (Va./
Lodge, In which Washington was initiated one hundred
anti six years ago. Thoy bore In the line many interest
ing relics connected with Washington's history as a
Won, the original pipers, the list of members, and
Bible used on the occasion of his installation as master.
The Ft:domed Lodge, of Georgetown, producbd toe
gavel-used by Washington when he hid the corner
stone of the Capitol.
Major eneral Jesup had 'command of the military,
and George W. Philiips,deputy marshal for the District
of ,Columbia, had charge of the civic branch of the
procession. ,
The firemen;reeidents, and visitors thud° a fino inde
pendent display, but they split off front the ptomain:l
on anoint of etiquette, desiring to be placed near the
niilitaty and not in proximity to the civilians.
None of the diplomatic corps were . present. They
were assigned a place in the programme directly after
the Supreme Court of the United States, but this they
declined to occupy for the reason, it is said, that their
place should be directly after the occultly() officers of
the Government. This point of etiquette was previously
reined on the occasion of the funeral of Postmaster
General Brown, and Lea not yet been decided.
The prooession having reached the eirole, the mill
tari,wheeled to the right of the enclosure, while the
prOminent dealing entered it and took their seats on
the pletforth. The President, Vine President, and Clark
Mills, the' adult, were in proximity, and the orator of
the day was, of course, conspicuous. The Cabinet offi
cers, iwith the exceetion of Seorotary Floyd, sat to
gether. •
The platform wai tastefully decorated with the flags
of England, Prance, Mime, Frusta, Brazil, Peru,
Chill, The Netherlands, Austria, Ecuador, Denmark,
Portugal, Sardinia, Central America, !dudes, Spain,
Mexico, Buenos Ayres. Paraguay, and Rome. Our own
flag waved above all, and the desk woe profusely deco
rated with the stripes and stars.
It was nearly tive o'clock before the ceremonies com
menced..
Senator Hammond announced that a prayer would be
offered up by the, Rev.' Dr. Nadal, of the Methodist
Episcopal ChuMh. Scarcely had the divine uttered the
first sentence when the setae of the semi-eirole were.
in obedience to' an order but a few minutes previously
issued, Wolin' open, and in rushed the thousands of
impatient outsiders, men, women., and children, who
mum took 'possession of ail the scats, from which they
bad a US view, and an opportunity to hear all that was
mid. The oonfuzion and noise at this point was cer
tainly not in stooordanee with the solemn part of the
ceremonies, and, in addition, there was the beating of
drums and blowing of fifes without, to the movement of
the Mania -_
The following is Dr. Nedal's prayer:
Almighty God I Infinite in majesty, wisdom, power,
and holiness, we would humbly bow ourselves as a na

W
hen the news of the splendid feat performed by
Washington, in the surmise and cabture of the Herman' I
at Trenton, reached the headquarters of the British
army at New York, it found cernwallis Net about to
embark for Emland, in the oemilortable aueratem that
the conquest of the Colonies was already virtually am
complbime—n,sitii 'Meekly for him, as the future was
destined to prove. General Rowe. the British com
mander, arrested his 'depf rture . and sent him with a
considerable force into ew Jersey, le check and
drive back the American army. Leaving it his rear a
quantity of stores at Brususwick, and a number of troops
at Princeton, Cornwallis went fotward to Trenton,
emu which the Amerionforoesundei Weshington then
vela.
In , csuencie of haraelments which he met on the
way he did rot enter Trenton until about night ;
and therefore determined to deleyAill the following
morning, his intended attack on Washington.
The latter, finding himself face' to lime with!". force
greatly superior to hie owl, en knowing that either te
suffer are pulne,or voluntarily to retreat from the Jer
eau, would at that time exert a very disastrous influ
ence on the patriot cense, struck out one of th ose grand
manenivree, with which he occasionally astonished his
friend. and overwhelmed his adversaries.
Leaving a few men to keep up fire. and other camp
operations our ns the night, thus deceiving the enemy,
and then to follow after, he drew off the body of Ine
totem; inthe, dead of night, and made it hurried march
to' Princeton. Reaching the vicinity of that town in
the early morning , he. found the troops left there by
Cornwailis in the not of setting out for Trenton. One
or two regiments under flohniel hLswhood, already on
the march, intercepted a division of the American tome
under Colonel Hugh Mercer, whom Washington had
sent on to enter Princeton by a route different from his
Owe. •
A collision ensued. and the troops under Colonel Mer
cer were repulsed. A division of Peomulvania miLtia
coining up to hie relief, were oleo checked. and werrein
demur of being routed. At this juncture, Washington,
himself, dashed up on his white charger, and seeking by
voice anil i exampleto rally the flying troop!, and encou
rage the ening militia, rushed forward under the very
muzzle of the enemy's goes. His soul was thoroughly
fired with determined zeal. The contagion spread. The
American troops with their reinforcement., returned
to the contest. Washington's position, between oppo
sing fires, was one of great danger. A ierrifie discharge
from the enemy', Runs at one time enveloped him in a
cloud 01 smoke. He was lost to the view of his own
friende, and hie affectionate aid.de-camp gave him up
in despair. The cloud was, however, not charged with
ruin, but filled with mercy. He vae venal} , seen to
emerge unhurt . The greatest enthuslam seized the
Amerman forces. The enemy intern gave way. and
saw them breaking into flight. Washington waved his
halm entbusmultio and exultant triumph.
At the moment already described, when be dashes
forward towards the enemy's guns, and draws himself
up in calm defirinoe. as though he would challenge his
fate, and was indifferent to the result—it is as he ap

The quality most conapieuous in this inoident and the
one most frequently accorded to Washington, is that of
high unconquei able will. Rut that term very faintly
describes hie loading oheireeteristio, here or elsewhere.

The resolve of George Washington, in tne affair at
Princeton and elsewhere, was firmly grounded on, and
thoroughly imbued with, conscientious commotion of
ditty. Duty duty , was the greet controlling idea with
him; end this was his distinguishing character. Few
men ever had so strong a sense of duty ; and erhaps
none who. in the affaim of this world, bait suc h an op
portunity for Ito useful exercise. In every situation of
difficulty or of danger, it was a" light to his feet and a
lamp to his path." Bo strong, so deep, so sublime was
hummer of duty, that in its discharge he fe.n himself
under special guidance and protection of an overruling
destiny.'
I think i ace clearly the finger of Providence in my
east hie," was a form of expression used by him ; and
again he said i " As the All-wise dummies of avoids has
hit berm watched over my steps, I trust, fee.
Put I would that his belief in destiny should not be
misunderstood. It had in it nothing weak or supersti
tious. It was not the wild dream of the visionary, who
reeds in every operation of nature some vette:nation of
duty or of fate ; nut the deep delusion of the enthusiast,
who mistakes the morbid sober Ohio own corporeal
system, for the manifestation u spiritual Impulse ; not,
indeed. the medium of th e "natio, who feels the
prompting of his own wicked passion!, and calls it the
voice of God ; nor yet wee it a belief in that idled, un
reasoning fate, that, In the moral economy of the an
cient Greek, spoke through Oriudee, and pursued with

the verdict of a sound judgment, eusettned by.an ac
tive, healthy minimum And in Acting up to its dic
tates, he felt himself under the guidanee and protection
of the Great Arbiter of truth and justice.
This was the basis of hi. belief in destiny. Stayed b
It as by a great anchor, Ms soul was calm, stead f as t.
immovable. He had not that vulgar finances which

that when the work was done. and the time op

doubt that they would have been ready to make him

There is /mother inoident nix life which, perhaps,
equally exhibits his self-denial and controlling sense of
duty. Ihe year 1777 was drawing to a close, tinder cif
curnstences very unfavorable to the American com
mander-in thief. The operations were probably plan
ned by him which led to the surrender of General Bur
goyne, but Gate. had reaped the credit of the achieve
ment, Under his own immediate supervision it had
been, on the whole, an unlucky campaign. Brandywine,
Gernuintown. and Fort Mifflin had been the scenes of
'disaster to his forces ,• and, to crown an, Philadelphia
was in possession el the enemy. In the mean time a
formidable cabal bad been formed, In which Gates,
Conway. Mifflin. and Lovell were the prime movers,
whet° object was to displace Washington from the
chief command, and they were working not without
some effect. Under these eireamstanoite. his friends
thought it a matter of great Importance to him, to make
a brilliant 'trek°. To drive the enemy out of Philadel
phia and retake the city was evidently the achievement
Mr the occasion. This Washington was satisfied he
could accomplieh. But, upon full consideration, he oon
eluded that while mimese would re-establish his own
Influence, the effort would be attended with so muc h
toe s of life as to do real injury to the patriot cause. He
therefore restated ell perauasion.andyielded his own
interests for the good of the county , . What Napoleon,
or even Wellington, would have done, tinder similar
oirournetances. none can doubt. Washington alone
could thus prefer duty to fame nod power.
With so controlling a BeaMe of duty. it may well be
conceded that success could not greatly elevate nor re
verse cast him down. In the one case he felt that he
had merely been an instrument in the advancement of
a good work; in the other he relied that He who is
stronger than armies and more powerful than the winds
and waves of advent() fortune, woul d
__, in His own good
time, take care of Hie own cause. He was. therefore,
prone "to hope against hope." It was his maxim
'never to despair." He acoustomed himself to look opt
from the present ill to the future good. Confidence In
final triumph was almost always present with him, a
calm mid s eda te , but sustaining impulse. In his long and
hurried ma bee through pnbroken forests, with the
yells of the stieWees ringing in hls ears ; in his rude en
trenchments at Round hleadows, surrounded by a muoli
superior force of French and Indian", and far away
from home and etemor ; at Braddeek's defeat, when
carnage strewed the field, and when his horse had been
twice shot from under Min, and the balls from the
enemy's lung hod four times pierced his garments ;
on that gloomy Christmas nip lit, while 'trusting nylons
the Delaware amid the floating roe, or while marching
against the snowdrifts on towards Trenton; at this
very battle of Princeton, while under the guns of the
enemy. end enveloped in the ginoke of their fire; in
hie
.cheerless winter-quarters at Valley Forge, his men
perishing with mild and hunger, ins secret enemies
Plotting hie own overthrow, and the country dis
couraged at the saddening prospeot ; on that final feed Yorktown, where the mile of the war and the fate
of these:ninny hung suspeeded on a single fight—what
ever hts situation or his oircumstancee, his calm. un
daunted eye looked away to the Inture, and modestly
hoped that it saw in its bosom ultimate, and complete,
end grand, and transcendent triumph.
This same strong sense of duty gave him agreat con
trol over his feelings and his passions. Intellectually,
perhnew, his nature might have been lege averse to con
trol than that of many tiller men; fur, us he was desti
tute of that brilliancy which dazzles and captivate,, so
he wan free from that teeming, restless fecundity
of eenius, which will not be quiet and cannot bo re
strained. .
Bat hie emotional nature, though very strong, was
also subjected to control. The world is accustomed to
look with indulgence, if not with favor, upon an lin put
et and ardent temperament. With many. ihipulite is

of the District of Columbia, It is my will and pismire
that wo now perform our humble part in the dodicatlen

them the name pf Washington is peculiarly cherished,
for the world's admiration of his charaeler and his
countrymen's gratitude for his great services, it is Our

the myetia tie. Therefore, in order that our ancient rites
may ho fully performed, you will enjoin upon the breth

august presence and occasion.
The square was then applied to the foundation stone of
the pedestal, and the Deputy Omnd Master reported
the craftsmen have done their duty. The level and
plumb were next aPPlied, and similar reports made.
The Grand Master declared the pedestal which rap

Clark Mills, having been loudly and repeatedly called
for, said that the lateness ofthe hour would prevent him
front intruding en the patience of hie friends; but, in
justice to himself, he wisbeCto remark that the statue
was intended for a greater e'evation than it has, but the
appropriation was inadequate to carry out the original
dealgn—namely, fate feet. It was intended that the
pedestal ehould be In three stories, reprorenting the
three groat epochs of the country • the first to represent
the country as it appeared when first discovered and in
habited by the Indians; the second to represent the
dawn of civilization; and the third representing the
great Revolutionary epoch, with Washington's gene
rels all represented, life-size, in full relief. The
Whole eurniounted by the equestrian statue of the
Father of his Country. The incident selected for the
statue was at the battle of Prinoeton, a description
of which can be fnund is Upham's Life of Weehingion,

The trappinse of the horse are taken from the paint

would Ire a dark day indeed, to him, when he should
forget the memory of this test concourse of peewee.
and should this statue meet their approbation, It would
be to him a proud reflection. that he heal perpetuated in

This Weal. was received with applause.
The crowds then prepared for a speedy exit, but a
long time elapsed before this was accomplished. There
was no general procession on retiring from the scene
which closed alter sun-down, and under a clear and
