Lincoln's Journey to Washington.

--The Marshal of the Police Department of Baltimore has written to the Mayor of Washington that the "President elect" is in no danger of an attack while passing through the Monumental City, on his way to the seat of Government." The "President elect," he says, "will need no armed escort in passing through or sojourning within the limits of this city or State, and, in my view, the provision of any such at this time would be ill-judged." The mind of the "President elect" will doubtless be relieved by this assurance.
