olities, in letters, and in professional life, and with the beauty and grace of feminine loveliness — all attracted to do honor to the elevation of one whose talents and worth only had raised him to the greatest honor of his profession — that of presiding in the highest tribunal of the nation. It was gratifying to notice in the assemblage several of the most prominent political opponents of Mr. Chase--among them the Democratic candidate for the Vice-Presidency, Mr. Pendleton, and Mr. Reverdy Johnson. Within the bar were the venerable Thomas Ewing, of Ohio, ex-Secretary of the Treasury; Mr. Orville H. Browning, of Illinois; Mr. Carlisle, of Washington, etc. The daughters of the Chief Justice, Mrs. Sprague and Miss Chase, were courteously accommodated with chairs just below the bench, surrounded by a brilliant throng of ladies, from different parts of the country. The Judges entered from their private room on the left of the chamber, the procession led by Mr. Justice Wayne, o

of the paragraph is quite worthy of Yankee literature, and we copy it: A large and distinguished assemblage was present in the Supreme Court-room to-day to see Mr. Chase take his seat as Chief Justice. Seldom have the venerable walls enclosed more men of eminence in the various professions and pursuits of life, or a more attractive representation of the women of America. It was impossible to forget that the present court-room was the old Senate chamber, hallowed to our memories by Clay and Webster, and other great souls that had battled for constitutional freedom. There is no ceremonial about the installation of a chief justice. It was evident that the crowd was disappointed in this respect. They rightly imagined that, as the office is of so high dignity, the new incumbent would be inaugurated with some solemnity. But there was nothing of the kind, beyond that which the characters of the principal participants, and especially of the leading personage, imparted to th

, such as they were, were occupied by infantry. Notwithstanding this fact, the Second brigade, Colonel Kellogg, was ordered in. The Second Pennsylvania, Major Scott; Seventeenth Pennsylvania, Lieutenant-Colonel Anderson; Ninth New York, Colonel Nichols, and Fourth New York, Captain Oliver, moved up in handsome style, and succeeded in capturing the advanced positions; but while all this was going on, fresh troops were constantly being marched into position, and the trains on the railroad, borks for several hours, the command was ordered to retire. Lieutenant-Colonel Anderson, of the Seventeenth Pennsylvania, behaved with distinguished gallantry, leading his men in two separate charges--one on foot and the other on horseback. Colonel Nichols, of the Ninth New York, took a prominent part on the extreme right, in a flank movement. In retreating, the enemy following only a short distance, they were not disposed to cultivate a too intimate acquaintance with the rear guard, havi

an's old command. The forces were killed scattered, or captured. Next, the rebel forces of Vaughn were discovered at Papertown, near Bristol, trying to effect a junction with Breckinridge, at Saltville. Our forces pursued him to Marion, where an engagement occurred, resulting in a loss to the rebels of all their force and artillery, except about two hundred men, who retreated towards Lynchburg, Virginia. Breckinridge's command had followed General Stoneman with the forces of Galtuer; Crosby and Withers, and the balance of Duke's command, who had been on the frontier of Kentucky, waiting to co-operate with the cavalry. General Stoneman attacked the force at Marion and drove them over the mountains into North Carolina. His command then attacked the salt works, which were defended by about seven hundred men, who were either captured or dispersed. The loss by this raid to the rebels is immense. All the railroad bridges from New river to the Tennessee line are destroyed.

The Judges entered from their private room on the left of the chamber, the procession led by Mr. Justice Wayne, of Georgia, Mr. Chase being next in order. Judge Wayne, who is truly a gentleman of the old school, distinguished for his mingled suavity and dignity of manner, remained standing while Mr. Chase read from a manuscr

On the return, hearing that Mosby was wounded, and at a house near by, General Gibbs, commanding reserve brigade, sent out a detachment of the First dragoons, under Captain Coppinger, of General Torbert's staff, to bring him away in an ambulance. The place visited was Dorman's mills, near Upperville, but too late. Mosby had been removed, and was dangerously wounded, according to the statements of the people residing there. The enemy gave the First division a few parting shots in Ashby's gap, firing at least a hundred shots at the command while passing through that place. Several hundred horses and cattle were captured and driven in, but there was no systematic attempt made to capture or destroy property, save in one instance, where Captain Oliver, with the Fourth New York, went out; but getting lost in the fog, and surrounded by an invisible foe, the command did not do much damage.

Stoneman's raid — a List of Munchausens. Stoneman has arrived at Nashville, and gives a regular Munchausen account of his raid into Southwestern Virginia. The following is the story: The forces consisted of General Burbridge's troops and General Gillem's East Tennessee troops, all under command of Major-General Stoneman. They left Knoxville on the 18th. The movement was unknown to the rebels, who were not discovered until after three days. At Kingsport, General Jones's command was attacked, consisting of about five hundred of Morgan's old command. The forces were killed scattered, or captured. Next, the rebel forces of Vaughn were discovered at Papertown, near Bristol, trying to effect a junction with Breckinridge, at Saltvill

Threatened attack on Baton Rouge. The New Orleans correspondent of the New York Herald writes under date of December 24th: Twenty-five hundred rebels, under Scott and Wirt Adams, threaten to attack Baton Rouge. They are in the neighborhood of the town, and say they will eat their Christmas dinner there. --General Burton is prepared to give them a warm reception. The cost of the torpedo that did not Blow up Fort Fisher. A correspondent of the New York Tribune, writing about that torpedo that Admiral Porter had read so much about that he could not help trying one, says: Every appliance which scientific knowledge and ingenuity could devise, and enterprise and manly daring execute, were put in requisition to insure the success of this novel and important feature of the expedition.

the American shield, with its stripes and stars. Surmounting the base is a full-sized tenor drum, with straps and sticks complete; and crossed, above this, two flags of the Union--all in beautiful white marble. The inscriptions are as follows: "Our Little Sergeant Willie--from the First battalion, Thirteenth United States infantry." "William Tecumsch Sherman, son of William T. and Ellen E. Sherman. Born in San Francisco. California, June 8, 1854; died in Memphis, Tennessee, October 3, 1863." "In his spirit there was no guile." Seward on the belligerent rights of Confederate Cruisers. In his correspondence with the Brazilian Minister, Seward takes occasion to say that this Government disallows the assumption that the insurgents of this country are a lawful naval belligerent; and, on the contrary, it maintains that the ascription of that character by the Government of Brazil to the insurgent citizens of the United States, who have heretofore been, and who stil

lerk, the new Chief Justice took his place in the centre of the bench, and the installation was over. The ordinary business of the court forthwith began, and the crowd immediately dispersed. I overheard a gallant officer remark: "Well, there is a solid block of New England granite placed in its proper position." Miscellaneous. Ex-Vice-President George M. Dallas died in Philadelphia on Saturday, aged seventy-one years. He had been minister to England and St. Petersburg, and in 1813 he accompanied the distinguished Albert Gallatin as secretary to St. Petersburg when the offices of the Emperor of Russia were tendered to bring about a peace. A spy was recently captured near City Point, upon whose person elaborate drawings and descriptive sketches of our defences in this locality were found. It is stated that, when taken, he was on his way to City Point to complete his mission by examining the inner line of works at that place. They are catching "St. Albans raid
