onation, at regular intervals of perhaps three seconds. The police, on alert for air guns and other implements of assassination, walked up and down the line completely puzzled. The locale of the peculiar noise soon became narrowed down to the New England delegation, and pretty soon the facts of the case came out, creating no little amusement all around. It seems that the New England folks wear "pegged" boots and shoes pretty generally, and this season with extra heavy soles on account of the New England folks wear "pegged" boots and shoes pretty generally, and this season with extra heavy soles on account of the deep snows. Coming South, the unusual heat and dryness of the atmosphere here has shrunk the peg-timber in their foot-gear excessively, occasioning a general squeaking with every movement, swelling in the aggregate, when the delegation was keeping step in line, to a volume perceptible in the pauses of the Marine Band for several blocks.

S. troops, and there were a number of civic associations. Among them the following: Republican Association and Wide-Awakes, numbering 500 men, the former designated by a silver button and the red-white-and-blue sprig, and the latter by a silver eagle on the lapel. They were headed by Capt. Smith. New Hampshire, Vermont, and Massachusetts delegations, each wearing an evergreen sprig in the lapel of the coat. They were headed by Marshals Gen. J. C. Abbott, Gen. H. H. Baxter, and Major Rogers. The three States turned out about 250 men in the line, and, as one of them told us, confidentially, with "nary office-seeker amongst them."

From this eagle depends a canopy, which covers the top of the car. The sides were draped with red, white and blue, and on each side was the word "Constitution" in large red letters. From the rear of the car projected a flag-staff, from which floated the stars and stripes. In front of the driver's seat was the coat of arms of the United States, surmounted by appropriate drapery. The car was drawn by six white horses, with white covers, on each of which the word "Union" was inscribed in large red letters.--In the car were 24 little girls, each dressed in white, with laurel wreaths, two of them representing the Goddess of Liberty, and the others each bearing the coat of arms of a State or Territory.

The Presidential inauguration. The Washington papers bring the particulars of the inauguration of President Lincoln, on Monday. The day before was chiefly spent by the crowd in chasing about to the different churches to catch a glimpse of "Old Abe;" but as he was closeted all day with Senator Seward, they did not get a view of him. At night, he rode to the Capitol and heard Senator Crittenden's speech. Monday opened fair, but very dusty. Pennsylvania Avenue was swept, and the Washington Rifles were placed in detachments on the house-tops along the route, in order to sweep the people should an occasion offer. The National Rifles, Captain Schaeffer, remained at their Armory, in uniform, subject to order. The Washington Star says: A little after 12 o'clock the word was passed along the line of the infantry on the avenue, and the cavalry on 14th street, to present arms. This was handsomely done, when the President and President elect emerged from the lower (14th street) do
