kid there lias been no pretence whatever on which
ho dailies could issue their flaming extra?, since
ho parties accused of the murdcrof Dr. Burdell
fere locked op for trial. The "confession of
jnodgrai-s" was a popular idea with the newsboys
or awhile, but that was "played out" long ago.
l,o Burdell investigation was a great source of
irnflt to the newspaper craft here while it lasted,
'robably 30,000 additional copies per diem were
irin'ed of all the duilios during the inquest. A
Kint Sin.000 of extra receipts may therefore be
.rcditc-J by the city press to "the Burdell frage
iy." Its an ill wind that blows nobody any
";ood.
Trade is rather backward among our commis
ion merchants ; more so than was expected as
he importations of dry goods have.been made
nnch earlier in the season than unal. The
Southern and Western bnyers have made the bulk
if their purchases, at rates fully equal to'those
f last season. Silk goods are scarce here, and
adies must make np their minds either to pay
ligher prices or take in sail to some extent. We
iear from Paris that there is likely to be a col
spse in crinoline, and if this expensive fashion

Some very large sales of real estate have been
made, this week, chiefly in the business parts of
the city. Tbe figures obtained were extravagant
ly high, as th purchases were generally made
by speculators, on very long credits. The real
Rvalue of estate here is sctually rather on the de
cline. Rents promise to be lower on the first of
May than last year. '

enthusiasm among the congregated thousands
almost unbounded. '
The whole i pageant far surpassed all similar de
monstrations of the kind. The public and pri

cession presented a truly animating scene.
The scene from the various windows, from which
the ladies, partaking Of the excitement and en
thusiasm of the day, were waving their handker
chiefs, was truly enchanting, and added no little
to the extraordinary excitement. .
The mass which crowded the capital and the -'halls

where the civic ceremonies commenced, was so -dense
by noon it was scarcely possible to effect
either ingress oe egress for a considerable space
of lime.
Here follows A particular account of the mag-

Proceedings in thb berate.
The Senate chamber immediately softer Con
gress adjourned was opened for the admission of
Senators and the privileged guests, ex-Presidents
and Vice Presidents, the Judges of the Supreme
- Court, who were in black silk gowns, diplomatic
corps, beads of department and members of Con
gress, officers of the army and navy who by name
have received the thanks of Congress, Governors
of States and Various officials connected with the
government, besides tbe local authorities of the
District of Columbia, &c. The procession having
arrived, the President and President elect, accom
panied by the committee of arrangements, pro
ceeded to the Vice President's room, and on the
new Sonate being called to otder, the President
and President elect were introduced by tbe com
mittee of arrangements to the seats prepared for
them in front of the secretary's table in the Sen
i ate chamber, with the judges on the right and
i diplomatic corps on the left. The whole body
then proceeded to the eastern portico, where tbe
President took bis scat in front of tbe platform,
with tho officials, etc., named in order In the rear.
An immense concourse of citizens were in atten
dance, and the throng extended a considerable
distance in every direction. So soon as order
could be restored, Mr. Buchanan rose, and in a
clear, strong voice, delivered the following
InnngurMl Adtlrf of Ihe President of llie United

Fri.L' W Citizens : I appear before yrn tbi day
to take the solemn oath " that I will faithfully exe
cute the office of Presid-nt of the Unite I Stales, and
will; to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and
deend the constitution of Uie United atatei"."
In entering upon this great office, I must hum
invoke the God of our i.thers tor wisdom and him
ness to execute its high anil responsible duties in
fuh a manner as to retoie harmony and ancient
friemisliii among the people of the reveral Stater,
ord to preserve our free intitutii ns throughout many
fenerations. Convinced that I owe my e'ection to
the inhennt love for tbe consti ution and the Union
which Mill animates the hearts of tbe American' peo
pie, let n)e earnestly ai-k iheir powerful support in
sustaining all just measures calculated to perpetuate
tl.efe, the rkl.est political blecsinss which Heaven
has ever bestowed upon s ny nation. Elavil g de

I tball have no motive to it fluence my conduct in
administering the government except tbe desire

ESCORT TO THE WHITE HOUSE.
The entire military, after the inauguration, es
corted President Buchanan to the White House,
where they formed in line and passed in review

During the afternoon thousands of citizens and
strangers crowded to the executive mansion to
pay their respects to Mr. Buchanan.
The military, after the review, repaired to dif
ferent quarters and partook of refreshments.
CONGRESS.
Washington, March. 2. Iu the Senate an ani
mated discussion was bad upon the report made
by the committee on the Judiciary iu the care of
Mr. Fitch, the legality of whose election as Sena
tor from the State of Indiana is contested by a
portion of tbe members of the General Assembly
of that Sate. The Committee on the Judiciary,
to which the whole nubject had been referred.
in a recent report made upon it, ask that addi
tional tentiniony may betaken respecting cer
tain facts upon which tbe statements of tho par
ties at issue are now at variance. Mr. Trumbull
thought that this demand was unnecessary, and
that sufficient data were already in possession of
tbe Senato to enable it to proceed at onco to a
rejection of the sitting member's claim. lie
criticised tbe report of Ihe committee in many
particulars, and closed by invoking an early de
cision of the question in controversy. Mr. Fitch
replied to thu remarks of Mr. Trumbull, ami
charged him with making out the brief of his ar-
nraent from unreliable data. Dr. Toombs brief
ly defended the report of the Committee on the
Judiciary, and cited the various points respect
ing which additionol testimony was necessary for
a proper decision of the pending Question. .At
Ihe close of the debate Mr. Weller moved to l iy
the whole subjoet on tbe table, which was carried
LUCKY CHANCES FOa FORTUNE.
Sf what people will, there are so many prizes
drawn in the Georgia and Alabama Lotteries that
thousands will take opportunities for lncky chan

are far preferable to investments in the fancy'
stocks of share gamblers, which usually rob all
who put faith in them. There are to be four
drawings in March, on the 14th, 21st and 28th.

Swan & Co., Atlanta, Georgia, and make a legal

The whole territorial question -beir g thus settled

since its origin, baa been in tba constant practice of en

I forbear for the present from expressing an opinion as to
the wisest and most economical mode in which tbe govern

Point or Rocks, Frederick County, Md.
Da. Swavne. Dear Sir : Believing it a duly I
owe lo the public, and injustice to you. i nave
thought putper to make known one of the most
ex tiaordinary cures, In my own case, that has ever
bt-en truly recorded. In the month of Octobtr last
I was afflicted wilh a severe gathering in my
brenst, which formed a large abscess, and also
communicated to my Lungs and very much afflict
ed them, and discharged large quantities ofcorrup
tion, external and internal. My breath could also
paps through my Lungs and out through the cav
ity of my breast wiih apparent ease, attended wilh
a violent cough, day and night, los.s of appetite,
and extreme debility, so that my physicians
ihouj;ht niy case entirely hopeless and beyond the
power of medicine. I remained in this wretched
condition for a (fg lime, until I was wasted to a
mere t-kelelon, and there seemed to be no hope lor
me: but havinsr read in the public papers of the
many wonderful cures performed bv your LOM-

mediately sent to Ualnmore for five bottles and
commenced its use. and to my great satisfaction
and my anxious family, the abscess or opening in
mv lunys beuan to heal, and the cough subsided
and on usina ten bottles I was restored to perfect
health. 1 believe, that to your valuable medicine,
under the blei-Mnga of Divine Providence, I am
indebted fr this great change, and I am happy to
say, that lam now enjoying as gooa neaun as i
ever have.
Over five years have clapu-ed, and I still remain
a perfectly hearty man at this date, June 2d, 1656.

TO THE AFFLICTED.
I deem it a dutv I owe to society, especially to
tbe afflicted, to offer this testimonial in favor of
that estimable medicine 'Peaar Davis' Faiv
Killer." Wben passing through Galena, some
two weeks aeo. I purchased at yonr agency a zt
cent bottle. I was then suffering from a severely
bruised band: I applied it in the store, and was
astonished at tbe almost Instantaneous relief
Before I left tbe store tbe inflammation was remov
ed, and in less than an hour tbe pain ceased. In
two days my band was well as ever. Finding it
to be really a remedy. I detern.ined to try its ef
fects as a curative for tbe Piles, to which I bave
been a martyr for years. After five dressings,
my piles were among the things that bad been ; 1
am now entirely free from them, and in as good
health as ever I was in my lire. L bave recom
mended tbe Paia Killer to others, and always
with good effect, fjeveral of tbe captains of the
upper river boats carry with them a constant snp-
oly, and consider it one of the most valuable med-
icinesever discovered.
I am, dear sir, respectfnKy yonra,
