TZE-INAUGURATON.I WASuIGTO, March 4, 1853. The-twn cies of Congress were adjourned uine die to-dny, at 12 o'clock M. Nearly ali the important bills were acted on befnro the ndjnttrnment. The Sentte was convened in Extra Session, wien all the new Senators who were present were sworn in, and took their seats. The ceremonies attendiing the Inauguration paissed off well. The oath of otiee was admin itmered to President Pierce by Chief Justice Taney, after which he delivered his inaugul Address, which oceupies about a column and a half of the Washingt on Union. It is a beautiful production. He pledges hiiself to maintain the Constitution. is sound in his views on the slavery question, m.akes no special promises - to- ollice seekers, but intimates that he will not overlook the caiis of his t'riends. lie concludes by saV ing that he will consider his Cabinet a unit, and. his chief consideration at all times will be to mAtintain the integrity of the Constitution, and lyreser-vo the honor of the country. .AL.TIMot E, Miarch 4. Franklin Pieree of New Hampshire, was this day inaugurated at Washington, as President of the United States. An immense avalunche of the people poured into the clt~y at an early hour. and tie gathering on the-occasion, fir exceeded in number that of-atiy former similar event. The Civie and Afiliity procession, which was very grant-andliinposing, was furned at the appoint etd hour and proceeded to Willard's lotel, wheretho-Pesident of the Uniled States and President elect were-received in line, and escort ed-to the Caipitol, where the ceremony of the tiattguration-took place. The following is tle substanee of the Inatugural Addrcsi of General Pierce The policy of the administration, he said, will not be controlled by timid forebodinags of evil front the expansion of our territory. It is not to be disguised that the acqnisitiot of certain prossessions tint within the jurimdiction of the United States are important, if not essential, for the pre-ervation of our conitnercial rights, and the pe-ace of the worli. Should they, however. be obtained, it wilf he in no graspiin spirit, but in a manner consistent 'ith.the strictest national f.iith. F'rcign aflTairs, he stated, will be marked by jinst and pacifie views, and lie re-allirms the 1onoe doctrine in the stronge.t terms. Relative to official appointntit<, he says, that the Administration cainnot he expected to retain any persons in their otlicial powitions who are laboritg under the influence of political hostility and partisan prejudice to it, wlen it should ex pect cordial co-operation. Having no engage ments to ratify. no rewards to le.tow, no resent ment to remember, tin personal wishes to con stilt. he will be governed in his selections by no motive that does not contemplate the elicient, di-tcharge of the duties to be performed, and tite best ititerest of tle country, requiring in every instance integrity and capacity to prevent pecu lation. iie considers the preservation iof ithe Union na the grand point, dear to every Atnercan heart. Blot out one stir and the whole will lie dimmed. Ile believes that involtntary sertitude, as it exists, is recognised by the constittion, that it stands like aiv other adnitted tight, and that States where it exists are entiled to efficient remedies to eitforce all constitutiional provisions. Ile approves of the Compromise measures, and says that heyi are strictly constitttional, and to be unhesitatingly carried into effect. Ile hopes, however, that the question is at rest, and that no sectional or ambitious or fanaticial ex citement may again threaten the durability of our intsttlutions. WastnNGiTox, Feb. 27. ion.

A eorrespondent of the New York Tribune pays thle following comptimnent to Mr. Orr of this State. Coming from thait source, one m:iy supnose the pr::ise rea:lly me'rited, unless thtey (~c~clu that the hratredl of Greely to Doyd wouild lead to praise of the fiend himself for porpthoses o/dispatragt ment: Spue::ker Boyd hasu uniwittingly raised np an oppoiient to bintauima to the Speakershiip oft the next Congress, by calling Mr. Orr, of South Carolina, to preside ever ~the Coimmit tee of the Whale ont the state of lie Union, dutrinig the pacst we'ek, thle Civil atsl Diphatiei Appropriutionu i I being untdeur e-otnsiderat itn.

As it is cer tain thtat there w"ihl be few Southierni Democratts itt the oext Congress-very few-who were not identified with the late Southlern Rights orgatni zat ion, the South in caucus will presetnt well nigh an unbrokent front for him.

A correspondent of the Edgefield Adrertiser who signs himself "Abbeville," and frem this circumstance we imagine- is, a citizen of our District, proposes the construoting of a Railroad frr.n Greenwood, by the- wIay of Edgefield, to Aiken or Hiiimburg. Thii we thb.ka good sug gestion,. and' ote eminently worthy of the serious consideration of the people of Edgefield; and ne they should not allow to pass- by unm proved. The route indieated possesses many natural advanta'ges, being : ridge and compara tivelv le'el. wijh few or no water cour-es, so that a road built there-" onld ibe perman.-nt and not subject to periodieal disasters from freshets. The citizens of Edgiefield villare, by their in difference to enterprise of this kind, h:ave in a manner isolated-themselves, and placed barriers itn the way of the improvement of their town. Ilamburg, from pursuing the same policy, has also ruined her prospects, and had it not beetn for the frslet last summer, which proved so disastrous to the Greenville and Columibia Riilroad, her trade would have destne her almost entirely, antd ier spacious warehouses and stores be'oetn ere this, the abode of owls and bats. The intfluence these two plaices are capable of exerting, could, in the incipiency of the Greenville project. have sectired the location by their own doors, but as xe have said, indif ference or something else, caused them to stand aloof, and the golden opporttinily was lost. iave I hey not regretted their coure since The repeated interruptions and disasters upon the Greetville and Columbia Railroad, o sing to its unfortina:e location, is producing dissatis faction and disappointment every wbere tip the countrv, and hence the attention of many of ou' Vidzens has been directed to the one above referred.:o;.a-sono likely to be more lermanent atd praeticable.

New Advetisemefita Tur.ar are several new advertisements in our pa per this week which we desire all our readers to see. One is B. S. )unana's of Hamburg, who is selling off at cost. Another is from SNowDEN & SHNEAR, those old dry-goods merchants of Augusta. The others are from Win. lAiss, Druggist, Augusta, Ga., whose establishment we know to he well sup plied with every thing that druggists ought to have. Everett and Creighton again. WE are told1 that these entertaining performers, (the one of magic, the other of comic singularities,) are again in our town. Last night they drew an audi ence so large as to resilt in crushing ilte whole round of seats. "Olh, what a fall was there, my country men !' But we art' glal to know that none of you were injnred by the catastrophe. For all were so much amused that they "squatted upon their hunk ers" for the balance of the evening. To-night there will be again a crowded house. In the language of our enrapt red brother of the Newbery Sentiel, (when speaking of the " recherche" entertainments of the C.%nacnossEs ! !!) we might say " Oh, that we could be there !' Butthere'll be a plenty without tts. And another thing, they beat the Cmacrossrs to death. If they didn't, we should say, Ileaven pity them! Gourt of Commn. Pleas. Tit Spring Term of this Court commenced its sitnitig at this place on Monday last, Judge WIIT.xaR presiding. The courtesy and energy of his Honor have won for hi im the adaiiration of our citizens. We hear a high degree of sntisfaction generally expressed. On the first day of Court, Col. BAusrxFT called ttp the resohttionts recently passed by tle har of Edgeield in reference to the tnournful event of lIon. N. L. Griflin's death, whereupon the Judge made a feeling, appropriate atid impressive ndlress. It was resolved that the Clerk of the Court be instructed to enter the resolutions upon the record. The District its not yet fully felt the great loss rustained in the death of a man so truly useful is was Mr. GnsFFI. As one of the first instances of its practical illustration, much of the husiness of ie present Tern of Court will be iceessarily postponed. Now Mail touto.

Tt is unaccountably strange that a people who are aver avake to their pioltcal intere:sts, and who watch over their insititions with a jedous and s~epless eye, should ba. si profoundly inidifferent to ether great and important sibjects.
