’ The various organized bodies of citizens, civil and military, intending to join in the inaugural ceremonies, will report as soon as possible to the Chief Marshal, in order that they may be assigned proper positions where they can form before taking position in the line of procession.

The procession will be formed in front of the City Hall and vicinity at 9 o'clock, A. M., and at 11 o'clock, A. M., the procession will move from the parade ground, by Louisiana avenue to Pennsylvania a venue, thence along Pennsylvania a venue, and so far past Willards' Hotel, (where the President elect will be,) up Fifteenth street, as will enable it to countermarch, and halt on Pennsylvania avenue in front of the hotel. The entire column will, under orders, left face, and the military will present arms. The President and President elect will then be received into the line, and the column will, under orders, right face, and move, escorting them to the Capitol.

Proper banners and adornments will be allowed in the procession; but no emblems or devices that are offensive in any way will be permitted.

At the Capitol the procession will witness the inauguration, according to their own pleasure, taking care, at the same time, not to interfere with the programme published by the Senate's Committee.

The military, the marshal, assistant ditto, and aids, are expected to co-operate in the execution of the arrangements of the Senate.

After the inaugural ceremonies are concluded, the military, with the marshal, assistant ditto, and aids, will escort the President and suite to the Executive Mansion.

The Star of Saturday, says:

‘ Last night the city was crowded to overflowing. Sleeping departments were in demand from sundown to 12 o'clock at all the hotels, and new arrivals of strangers with carpet-bags, valises, and small bundles, seemed to pour in at the offices of the public houses every ten minutes. Many who supposed they could get separate rooms at any moment were sadly disappointed when they ascertained that the only accommodations that could be afforded them were with the mutual agreement companies occupying the halls and parlors, and sleeping on cots or carpets. Up to 3 o'clock this morning the streets were as lively as they usually are at daylight.

’ An interesting feature of ceremonies will be a procession of thirty-four young girls, bearing floral banners.

A committee of the ladies of Washington will welcome Mrs. Lincoln at the Capitol.-- The only ladies who will be admitted upon the platform during the ceremonies of inauguration will be Mrs. Lincoln, Miss Lane, and the wives of the Judges of the Supreme Court.

It is estimated that the expense of the Inauguration Ball will be eighteen thousand dollars.
