GOV. HICKS ADVISES Mr.. LINCOLNs COURSE.
7 now learn that Governor Hicks sent dis
match to General Scott and Mr.. Seward on FRI
day, advising them Of danger in Mr.. Lincoln s
passing through Baltimore publicly and on
this information they Immediately sent .
special messenger to Harrisburg, with instruc-
tons to Mr.. Lincoln to do as be has done
Great credit is given hum by our people for
adopting such course,
II danger had really been appFehended,
our entire military and best citizens, regard
less of party, would have turned out for his
protection.
HOW LINcoLE's COURSE Is REGARDED IN eALTI-
MORE.
Marshal Kane is of the opinion that, not
withstanding the excellent police arrange
ments here, Mr.. Lincoln would have been
insulted, and thinks It well that be went
through as he did.
THE RAILROAD TRACK SAFE.
No attempts were made to disturb the rail-
road tracks.
ELc REAL DAEoER f.Hu
All things considered. there were chances
and indications ofresl danger, springing from
an unusual excitement and apparent des-
narration ehatacterizing certain classes. All
rejoice in Baltimore being deprived by Mr..
Lincoln's wise forethought and the better
counsel of his friends, of the disgrace which
might have fallen upon us by indiscreet &C
tions, had be appeared publicly among US at
the present epoch ofexcitement
THE ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE JOURNEY.
Ample arrangements were made by the
President of the Northern Central Railway
to convey the Presidential party from Har-
risburV to Baltimore in q special train and
the precaution taken to station sentinels every
half mile along the rack. The best cars,
locomotives, conductors, and everything Of
the most reliable character, were selected
On Friday afternoon several of Mr.. Lincoln's
most prominent political and personal friends
in Baltimore and vicinity, numbering ten or
twelve, proceeded to Harrisburg to escort him
to Baltimore, whilst ample arrangements
were made y'them to take charge, on ar
riviug here Of himself and family, who were
to have dined with Col. Cuttings, President OF
the road, and depart at three o'clock in the
afternoon for Washington.
Col. Kane, Marshal Of the Police, had four
hundred policemen station in and around the
Depot. The arrangements were deemed
ample and perfectly secure.
ExcITEHENT IN BALTIMORE.
About nine O o'clock on Saturday morning,
a dispatch from Harrisburg announced, rath-
ervaguely, that Mr.. Lincoln had gone through
on the Express train, before daylight to Wash
ingtOn. This crested much excitement and
it was subsequently contradicted. People
commenced thronging the streets from all
quarters, and concentrating in immense num-
6ers around the Northern Central depot
Other statements gained currency, declaring
previous dispatches hoaxes, and that Lincoln
was certainly on the train soon to arrive
This was generally believed, though Wash
in0ton teleQrams positiVely announced Mr.
UfhCUIn ARRIVAL IN the Capital. Ill
The crowd continued to increase around the
depot in Culvert street, until it reached nearly
swenty thousand. It evinced intense rest
lessness, and was composed chiefly Of the bad
element, including many lazy, mischievous
boys. A large portion were persons as
sembled from natural curiosity, but it is
believed there were others with bad inten-
TONS None could be convinced that Mr..
Lincoln was not on the train, until the ar
rival of the cars, when it was authoritatively
announced that he was not there, but had
gone through early in the morning alone tc
Washington. ~ lH.fIe
PREPARATIONS FOR A ROW.
I am told, however, that large quantitie
Of eggs were bought in markets some days
previous, and billies purchased from stores by
well known rowdies. There was evidently q
design Of perpetrating some mischief or out
rage.

knowledge By joining various associations OF
the dangerous and lsWless classes which in

in Washington some few days since, and it
