THE INAUGURATION.
The consummation of the great political
contest which terminated in the election of
General Harrison as' ,President of the U.
States, took place yesterday, the glorious
fourth of March; by theinauguration of the
President at the. Capitol, preceded by the
installation of the Vice -President, in_the_
presence of an immense multitude of citi
zens who had travelled from all parts orthe
Union to witness the' imposing and inter
esting solemnities of the occasion: -
For Several days previously, the metro
polis of the nation had been gradually fil
ling with , visiters from the more distant .
States of the Union : Yesterday,
"and, the
daii!previoTislT, contiguous counties of
- Maryland and Virginia - -and the city .of
Baltimore, poured in vast multitudes, and
parties of eager citizens, who travelled on
the various ways, by land and water, on
I foot, in -carriages, or in boats, to witness
thdinanguration of their beloved chief. ' -
It cannot reasonably be expected that
'-we shall lay before the. public a very de
tailed or accurate account of yesterday's
interesting proCeedings and ceremonies.—
To- satisfy, however, the demand , for an
early notice, we
. present- the following
Sketches of scenes and 'incidents of the
day. • , - ..
Tun Mcatrutto.Early in thiMorning,
long 'before senrise, the shrill , whistle , of
the care, and the trampling _of feet`along
Pennsylvania avenue toward' the hotels,"
gave noticelliat our number of -iisiters was
increasing, and that the auspicious day of
the inioguration had arrived.. The morn
ing broke somewhat eloudily; and the her;
izon seemed rather to betoken snow -or
rain: - 'At sun-rise - a -- salute -of-twenty;six
guns - was fired from the Mall, Bawls of
their gun-room, by a party of the, Columbia
Artillerists, acting under. the command of
Captain Buckingham. Soon after the fir
ing of these guns, the entire body, appaL
rently 'of our citizens *and -numerous visi
ters, roused front - their slumbers, thronged
the • Pennsylvania avenue and - our principal
streets, and gave to them a very animated
and lively appearance; thethrong contine.
ing to increase until 8 o'clock, when the
various delegati9ns, •military companies,
•fl: . I, ;;
zens, siTerobred zil, tfiCiriexp'eßnrßilStmcit.i"
THE PEOCESSIO7.C.—SJOIII after 10 o'clock
the precession moved 'from the head of
Four-and-a-half street, when a salute of
three, guns annminced their march towards
the quarters Of the President elect. Hav
ing there received. General Harrison, 'at
tended by his personal friends, :he proces
sion moved on, from the quarters of the
President elect, up E street to 11th street,
up 11th street to F street, up Fstreet to
15th street, down 'lsth street to Pennsyl
vania avenue, down Pennsylvania avenue
to the south gate of the eastern yard of
the capitol, exactly as_ laid down in the_
programme., -
a
Occupying favorable position in . front
of Brown's hotel, tie. noticed the proces-'
aion as it passed along the moat public part
of Pennsylvania avenue to the capitol.—
The scene was highly interesting and im
posing: The ladies every where, from the
windows on each side of the avenue, wav
ed their handkerchiefs or hands in token of
their kind feeling, and General Harrison
returned their amiles:and greetings with
repeated bows. '
The enthusiastic cheers of the 'citizens
who moved in the procession were, with
equal enthusiasm responded to by thou
sands of citizen spectators, who lined
Pennsylvania avenue, or appeared at the
i l ,
side windows, in the numerous balconies,
on - the tops or - houses. or oli ;either etevated - '
stands. At the head orthe procession was
IhT. - Clii - erMarshal, viliii - was - mounted ,on
a fine horse, suitably caparisoned, as were
also his two Aids.. ,
The military portion of the procession
'was remarkably ' fine and soldier-like.—
Much of this, no -doubt, was owing to
Major Fritz, of the Philadelphia National
.Greys, whose company and excellent band ,
of music were objects or particular notice
and admiration. The military marched'
along in the following order:
1. 'the Potomac Dragoons, commanded
by Captain Maron-,-a fine body of cavalry,
consisting chiefly of citizen soldiers from
-Georgetown.---We never-saw-the Potomac
Dragoons turn out so well or apPear to 'so
great advantage. • ,
2. The Columbia Artillerists, command=
led by Captain Buckingham. Their revo-
I hitionary costume, emterable appearance,
and precise movements as they marched
