PHILADELPHIA, Feb. "A.
No community could manifest more anxi-
ETY. regarding the late movements of Mr..
Lincoln than Philadelphia; its like has sell
dom been experienced here. Extras were
In unparalleled demand to-day. TIE sub
| iect 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 his friends, Of an
attempt at assassination on the train or pro-
cession at Baltimore, was the real sole
cause OF his flight. Ii 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, Gov. Hicks are prominently mentioned
| az among hose who gave the warning, ard
| Judd and Davis MS those who acted on it. Ii
is probable statement will be published BY
frinds to Justify their course and remove
from Mr.. Lincoln the charge OF unwarrapted
apprehension. ~
The recent speech Of Mr.. Lincoln at indie

mind, and lie said to have created an unusu-
al excitement at Baltimore and through out
the South.

WASHINGTON, Feb. "a.
Indefinite rumors arc afoat concerning
warIike desr atches said to have been receiv-
ell hy the Government. from the South.
These cause much excitement and many in
quries, but they cannot be traced to any re-
| liable source. There certainly has been no
Cabine, meeting to day 70 consider such de-
spatches as circulated in connection with
other reports.
| Mr.. 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 unscruplous political knaves in Bal
.imore who had determined to turn Mr. Lin
coins visit to their own account arranged
for q procession from the.depot to his hotel.
| Protection WIS asked by these rowdies OF
Marshal Kane, who protested against such y
proceeding. lie said Mr. Lincoln would be
treated with all respect due him personally
and bis official position, but so obnoxious
were the parties proposing the demonstration
that he would not ensure the same respect
| for them.
II might result in some indignity being Of
fered which would be Notifying to the Pres
ideno elect and disgraceful to the city Of
Baltimore. Finding that these men were
fixed 10 their purpose to make Mr.. Lincoln's
visit subserve their purpose, the latter was
i advised by telegraph torass on to Washing
ton without stopping, which be did. This
advice came from gentlemen who had the
good name OF Baltimore AZ heart. These I'D
vices from Baltimore had been anticipated
by special messenger sent thence TO meet
Dir. Lincoln at Philadelphia with dispatches
from Gen. Scott and the War Department,
urging him to come through Baltimore IN
expec,ediy, as they had specific information
Of hostile purpose against him there, in re-
lstion to which they could NOT be mistaken
This information was obtained through off
, cial secret agents.
Mr.. Lincoln dined privately yesterday with
Senator Sexard and NJ. Iiamlin, and at
tended ST. Johns church 10 day in company
with the former, With whom his relations con.
/ tinue to be of tbemost cordial nature.
J Mr.. Lincoln remains at bis hotel quarters
i and will not 60 to his private residence .,
Q anticipated. liz receive q several visitors to-
. day. The hotel halls are crowded with PEG
pie anxious to get sight OF him. He TOLD
his friends to let oil come that could, 90 b,
/ was glad TO see and welcome all. He wa,
!. public property now and would, so far NJ
. possible, ignore personal ease, as his duties
would soon preclude the possibility of gen
eral reception OF friends
Senator Gritttndrn and Hon. e. r. Adam
= called on him TO day. The interview be
!, tween Senator Crittenden and Mr.. Linco!l
