New YoRK, February 24-I am assured
from high authority that no action will be
taken by this Administration relative to the
seizure ofvessels at Savannah, but the whole
subject will be left for the new Administra-
ton to deal with. The Republicans do not
object to this policy of the present Admin
istration.
PHILADELPHIA, February 2.-No commu-
nifty could manifest more anxiety regarding
the late movements of Mr.. Lincoln than
Philadelphia. Its like has seldom been ex-
perienced here. Extras were in unparalleled
demand.
To-day the subject has been the chief topic
of conversation, and statements made by
prominent members of the Republican Party
Justify the belief that fears on the part of
bis friends of an attempt at assassination on
the train or in the procession at Baltimore,
was the real sole cause of his fight.
1t was discussed among the prominent
members of his suite when in this city, and
measures were taken to guard against such
calamity. The names of Gen. Scott and
Gov. Hicks, of Nd, are prominently men,
toned as among those who gave the warn
ing, and Messrs. Judd and Davis as those who
acted on it.
1t is possible that statement to the pub
lie will be published by friends to justify
their course, and to remove from Mr.. Lin
coin the charge Of unwarranted apprehen-
sion.
The recent speech of Mr.. Lincoln at Inde-
pendence Hall, embodying sentiments which
have been construed into an admission of
negro equality, is supposed to have more
| particularly inhamed the Southern mind,
| and is said to have created an unusual ex
citement at Baltimore and throughout the
South.
WASHINGTON, February 24.-Indefnite
rumors are afoat concerning warlike dis
patches said to have been received by the
| Government from the South. These cause
much excitement and many inquiries, but
they can not be traced to any reliable source.
There certainly has been no Cabinet meet
ing to day to consider such dispatches as are
related, in connection with other reports.
MIR. Lincoln's rapid passage through Bal
timore has been condemned here by some
who do not know the facts, which are these
A set of unscrupulous political knaves in
Baltimore, who had determined to turn Mr.,
| LIS visit there to their own account, ar
ranged for a procession from the depot to his
hotel. Protection was asked by these rowdies
of Marshal Kane, who protested against such
proceeding.
He said Mr.. Lincoln would be treated with
all the respect due him personally and his
official position; but so obnoxious were those
proposing the demonstration, that he could
not insure the same TO them. II they were
, determined to brave it, it might result il
| some indignity being Offered, which would
, be notifying TO the President elect, an(
disgTaceful to the city Of Baltimore.
l Finding that these men were fixed in thei
3 purpose to make Mr.. LIS visit subserve thei
: purpose, the latter was advised by telegraph
TO pass on to Washington without stopping
which he did. This advice came from gen
temen who had the good name of Baltimor
;. at heart.
r These advices from Baltimore had bee
q anticipated by a special messenger sen
thence TO meet Mr.. Lincoln at Philadelphia
r with dispatches from Gen. Scott and the Wa
e Department, urging him to come throug
v Baltimore unexpectedly, as they had speclf
b information of hostile purposes against hir
!, there, in relation to which they could nc
= be mistaken. This information was obtaine
q through official secret agents.
n Mr.. Lincoln dined privately yesterday wit
e Senator Seward and Mr.. Hamlin, and al
s tended St. Joseph's Church to-day, in CON
:, pany with the former, with whom his relt
/. tions evidently continue to be of the mo-
q cordial nature.
;, MIR. Lincoln remains at his hotel quarter
: and will not go to his private house as al
ticipated. He received several visitors tt
day. The hotel halls are crowded with pee
n pie, anxious to get sight of him. He tol
s his friends to let all come that could as
:, was glad to see and welcome all.
n He was public property now, and woul'
IS so far as possible, ignore personal ease as b
e duties would soon preclude the possibility

s Crittenden and Hon. @. F. Adams called G
a him to-day.
C. The interview between Senator Critic
j. den and Mr.. Lincoln was very agreeab
one. Mr.. Crittenden expressed himself, 8
v terward, much pleased with him, and h
Al strong hope that he will bring peace to Il
a country.
