New YORK, Feb. 23.-9P.M.
IA special correspondent to the N. Y.
Times says: Thursday night, after he had
retired, Mr.. Lincoln was aroused, and in
formed that a stranger desired to see him
on matter of life and death. He declined
to admit him unless he gave his name,
which he at once did, Such prestige did
the name carry, that while Mr.. Lincoln
was yet disrobed, he granted an interview
to the caller. A prolonged conversation
elected the fact that an organization Of
men had determined that Mr.. Lincoln
should not be inaugurated, and that he
should never leave the city of Baltimore, if
indeed he ever entered.
The list Of names Of the conspirators pre-
sentcd most astonishing array of persons
high in Southern confidence, and some
whose fame is not confined to this country
alone. Statesmen laid the plan, bankers
endorsed it, and adventures were to carry
it into effect. AS they understood Mr.. Lin
coin was to leave Harrisburg at o'clock
this morning, by a special train, and the
idea was, if possible, to throw the train
from the road at some point where they
could rush down a steep embankment, and
destroy in a moment the lives of all n
board.
In case of a failure in this attempt, their
plan was to surround the carriage, on the
way from the depot. in Baltimore and assas-
sinate him, with dasgers or pistols. So
authentic was the source through which
the information was obtained, that Mr. Lin
coin, upon counsrlling with his friends, was
comp lied to make arrangements that would
enable him to subvert the plans of his ene-
mics. Greatly to the annoyance of thou
sands who intended to call on him, last
night, he declined to give reception.
The final council was held at 8 o'clock.
Mr.. Lincoln did not want to yield, and Col:
Sumner actually cried with indignation;
but Mrs Lincoln, seconded by Mr.. Judd,
and Mr.. Lincoln's informant, insisted upon
it, and at o'clock Mr.. Lincoln left on a
special train.
He wore plaid shawl and very long
military cloak, so that he was entirely un
recognizable. He was accompanied by
Supt. Lewis and one friend. He started
while all the town, with the exception
Mrs. Lincoln, Col. Sumner, Mr.. Judd, and
two reporters, who were sworn to secrecy.
supposed him asleep. The telegraph wir.s
were put beyond the reach of any one who
might desire to use them

Mixed.
The Lansing Democrat tells about a
young lady who had McGregor lover that
was ''scooped" by Milwaukee "clerk."
We don't believed. The McGregor boys
are more resolutc in gallantry than in any
thing else, and if ona of them ever got
struck after a lady al the clerks from Mil
waukee to Gretna Green would have failed
to beat him to the portals Of Hymen. Our
bachelors are difficult shots for Cupid to
hit but when one Of them feels Loves en-
trancing elixir coursing through his veins,
his common sense leaves him at once and
no power on earth dare intervene between
him and his Dulcinea. Talk about Mil
waukee clerk ''playing OUT McGregor
boy Why the brick city is 200 miles
east Of this place, and anybody knows that
the farther west you go the faster go the
people.

this was done, Company G, New York regiment,
detached for the same decree, made its appear
ance, and with lively huzza, leaped into the
cars which Col. Jones had provided, and the
expedition set out. The gun was at Ellicotts
Mills, twelve miles from Relay. 1t turned out
that the owners had trusted to the agricultural
appearance of the gun, and had not provided a
guard. Captain Il. Fl. Hair, (of Maryland,) in
General Buffers staff, who had preceded the
expedition, found the huge gun in the custody
of two mule drivers and two gentlemen in a
buggy.
Although entirely alone, he rode up to the
party, and, drawing his pistols, demanded the
surrender of the gun in the name Of the Uni

Very early this morning, information was re.

cloth. With the goods was found one pattern

and has caused many good jokes, and no little
comment among the troops.
