The Washington correspondent Of the
Baltimore Sun says:
There are many incidents and circum-
stances connected with the passage of Mr..
Lincoln and his attendents from Pennsyl.
vania TO this city that may never he re-
corded. 1t is believed, how ever that Mr..
Seward planned the sudden change in the
journey, and that his sen visited Harris

which the "fsil splitter" adopted. Fear
ing his own appeals might no. be eifectual,
Mr.. Seward invoked the advice of the Lieu

ing the unlocked for change Of route.
1t j, said by members of the Lincoln suit
that fear at one lime was INDUCED that
some danger to their travels existed at or
near COcksysville, not far from the Penn
sylvania line, but on getting 10 Harrisburg
this was reported to be unfound ed, as the
detectives could discover no un friendly or
gsnization. At Baltimore no special trouble
was apprehended, but an eminous silence
and the absence of all signs Of welcome on
the part Of her recognized city or other au.
thotitiss was noticed and felr very pener.
ally by the party.
So secretly indeed was the change Of
movement by Mr.. Lincoln effected, that
none Of the officers or conductors Of the
three roads he traversed from Harrisburg
to Washington, had the slightest idea Of it
until nearly noon to-day. The Baltimore
and Ohio conductor recognized Mr.. Seward
on arriving here at six this morning, but it
being understood that the little Senator was
emily awdiiing the return Of a son and daugh,
ter, no hint Of the President elect was in
dulged. Mr.. Seward had really appropri.
ated his guest almost exclusively TO hi, own
object, and had conducted him through the
series OF interviews before the faithful of
the party at large were aware that he had
quilted the Keystone State.
After visiting the President and his Cab.
met, and several distinguished citizens, the
pair went to the capitol, where Mr.. Doug
las was one Of the first to be met, in the
ante room of the Senate. The two distin.
guished Illinoisians had an esr nest talk up
on personal and public affairs, in which
the squatter sovereign advised his rival
that he would forgive everything and, back
him up in the presidency, if he would only
do right and save the country from ito
threatened ruin.
At Baltimore the oficsrs Of the Ohio
Railroad had an earnest interview with
Mrs. Lincoln to-day. An observer tells
mo that she remarked to President Garrett
that she felt at home in Baltimore, and be-
ing Ksntuckyian, was sometimes too con.
serva,ive for some Of Mr.. Lincoln's friends.
On this the President congratulated her
hoping she would use her best influences in
guiding her husband in administering the
government on the safe Kentucky and Ma
ryland principles.
The CINCINNATI Commercial says:

ner in which the President elect entered
Ws.hington City, we feel at liberty to pub

conspiracy to take Mr.. Lincoln's life. The
