WAsmNGToN, Fob. 2i.-Indefnitc ru-
mors arc alloat concerning warille dis
patches said to have been received by the
Government from the South. They cause
much excitement and many inquri s.
but, they cannot be traced to any reliable
source.
There certainly has boen no Cabinet
meeting to-day to consider such dispatch
es as circulated in connection with other
reports.
Mr.. I.incoln's rapid passage through
Baltimore has been condemned here by
some who do not know the facts, which
are these; A set of unscrupuous political
knaves in Baltimore, who had determined
to turn Mr. I.'s visit there to their own
account arranged for a procession from
the Depot to his Hotel Protection was
asked by these row,lics Of Marshal Kane,
who protested against such proceeding.
lie said Mr. Lincoln would be treated
with all respect due him personally and
his official position, but so obnoxious
were tho aIties proposing tho demonstra-
tion, that hc could not ensure tho same
respect to them. If they were determined
to brave it, it might result in some in
dignity being offered which would be
mortifying to the President elect and dis
graceful to ;he city of Baltimore.
Finding that these men wero fixed in
their purpose to make Mr. LIS visit sub
serve their purposes, tho latter was adj
vised By telegraph to pass on to Washing
ton without stopping, which he did
This advice came from gentlemen who
had the good name Of Baltimore at heart.
These adviceS from Baltimore had done
anticipated by special messenger sent
thence to meet Mr.. Lincoln at philadcl'
phia with dispatches from Gen, Scott and
tho War Department, urging him to come
through Baltimore unexpectedly, ~ they
had specific information of hostile pur'
poses against him there, as to which they
could not be mistaken. This Information
was obtained through official secret
agents.
Mr.. Lincoln dined privately yesterday
with Senator Seward and Mr., lIamlin
und attended st. Johns Church in com,
pany with the former, with whom his
relation evidently continue to be Of the
most cordial nature.
Mr., Lincoln remains at his hotel quar-
ters aud will not go to his private house
as anticipated, He received several Wis
itors to-day. The hotel halls are crowd
ed with people anxious to get a sight al

WAsmSGToN, Feb. 23.--Not little
sensation prevailed throughout the city
this morning, as soon as it became known
that Mr.. Lincoln had arrived in the early
train. 1t was unsuccessfully sought to
conceal the facts, especially from the
newspaper press, his presence here being
at first communicated to a few political
friends in confidence.
He was met at the station by several
gentlemen Of distinction, without any
formality, and was Immediately driven
to Wizards Hotel. He was yesterday
advised to come hither without delay
Preparations had been made to meet him
nj the station this afternoon, and the
Mayor of Washington was to make a
welcome address; but Mr.. Lincoln thus
spoiled the programme.
About 10 O'Clock Mr.. Lincoln, accom-
panied by Mr.. Seward, paid his respects
to President Buchanan, spending few
minutes in general conversation. Scna-
tor Bigler and Representative Jno. Coch-
rane happened to be at the White House
when he entered, and were accordingly
introduced to the President elect. Mr.
Lincoln afterward returned to his hotel
