-..; BALTIMORE, Jan. II 1861.
The atmosphere Il loaded with the widest
kind Of ruu1o1s Is to the purposes OF the
rebals. After careful sitting nm disposed
to think that the following notions areactnal]y
entertained, and wish to draw public atten-
tion thereto, In order that people may be pre-
pared for emergencies.
The rebels afe moving hearen and earth, or
think they are,to overturn the Government Of
Maryland, BY meaus OF q seltconstituted Con.
vention, which saa1l seize upon tho Sovereignty
Of the people. There Is now sitting In this
city nest Of conspirato73 for that purpose.
They propose to ignore the Governor, and to
hold 3 Convention without authority Of Law.
The plan Is to have a voluntary election, at
which none but the reyolutionlst3 will vote. I
am prepared 70 see this thing done, and l do
not see how It can be prevented. 71e only an

A public man Of some standing, and bclouc-
Ing to the Revolutionary party, openly de-
ciared to-day that Mr.. Lincoln wonld not be
permitted to pass through Margland on his
Way to Washington to DC inauy uyuratetl. and
that pc neyer would be inaugnrated in Wash
1ngton! One OF the plans to keep him from
passing oTeT OFT territory, il to tear up the
rails Of the three principal lines Of communi-
cation leading Into Baltimore from the West
and the North It is due to the public and
themselves, that the Presidents aud Directors
Of these roads Should forthwith establish extra
watches upon tho whole route within this
State, and prevent any such movement lftlc
Legislature crer should get together, they de-
st5n to prevent the transportation Of any pas
seugers Of all Over Maryland territory until al
ter the 4th Of March; and. What Is more. 1t is
thslr declared purpose to seize upon the Capt.
do more. They Will assemble Convention
that will vote us out Of the Union In double
qulck time; and, If the Capitol car he seized,
the Keyolutiontsts intend to declare them
selves the United States, and proceed to in
vito the Free States into new Confederacy,
with such changes In the present Cou-
stitulfon as Mr. Brcckinridge asks for!
In other words, they wiI1inEist Oh devoting all
future territory acquired under the new regime
in tie direction Of Mexico, to everlasting sla-
very.
An effort is to be made to break up the SEN
ate, when it sh,ll proceed to count the rotes
OIL the iirst Wednesday In February. This
movement does not Seem to be Abandoned If
it Is, then the City Of Washington Is TO be sciz-
ed on or about the I'D or :.,,5th Of February, or
somewhere about that time. The arrange
ments for defence male by Gen. Scott and the
this design, but much will depend upon this
conyening Of the Maryland Legislature. Even
tte1; il GOv. Hicks l.olds ont, the more violent
OF the Legislature propose to meet without lis
call, while ottcfs nre for the telfconstituted
Revolutionary Convention doing everything,
in conjunction With that Of Virginia Nothing
can nullify the acts Of 6nch & Convention but
the prompt assembling Of 4 so-caIlcd Union
one, Is have already intimated.

In Maryland. II the Federal Government
would only act as promptly Us the rebels do,
counter current would speedily sweep the
traitoEs into oblivion; but while South Caro-
lima Is permitted to defy the Federal power,

strike but blow in vindlcation OF the Federal
sovereignty, and instantly you will sec the
