f'TtIfcOtPLE—POLIC'T—OROAHS.
The press is a power. It is recognised as
*nch throughout the civilized world. Certain
great papers are regarded with as much lespect
as monarch?. Their weight thrown into the
scale is felt as much as i! a State had taken a
position in political affairs. In Europe, espe
cially in England, some of the most powerful
paper* wield an influence that belongs tathem,
independently of the writers wh* conduct
them. In several o: the leading journals the
editors are unknown. The journal Las at
tained, and grown into strength. Ita utter
ances are fulminations transcending in power
and influence those of the great Athenian who
shook tlio Arsenal, and wielded “ the tierce
democracie’’ of that glorious State that even
In its ruins is a splendid monument of freedom
and letters. This is a rare attainment. But
there arc presses which have accomplished it;
presses which to-day exert unmeasured influ
ence over the affairs of Christendom. The
“ London Times” is the grandest living illus
tration of this truth. It is as well known in
Europe by the namo of the “Thuaderer,” as
Jupiter Tonans in the classical werld. It holds
position not alone by the intellectual en
ergy which guides it, nor by the vast amomat
of capital which sustains it; but it stands like
a throne—a recognized power which la to be
respected without questioning its claims tn de
ference. It is established. It ia supported by
the largest number of readers on the globe. It
hag the largest audience in the world. It cir
culates not only throughout Great Britain, and
the wbol9 extent of that boundless empiro ;
but it is read all over the continent. Before
its columns not only does the Government—
the ministry, tho dynasty being established—
tremble ; but ita opinions are potential in re
gard to questions of foreign policy. For ex
ample, ita influence was largely felt in settling
tho affairs of Greece ; of Holland and Belgi
um ; in giving stability to tho throne of Louis
I’hiilqipe ; and to the reign of his .successor,
the present Emperor of France. Yet th« names
of its editora are net intruded upon the public.
It stands alono in its majestio strength, as
“The limes.’’ On tho continent oi Europe
there are papers of weight and influence, bnt
mono of them can claim any such weight as
the Times possesses. In Paris there have beoa
some brilliant journals. There are to day sev
■feral of great ability and wide influence. Some
are merely newspapers. Galignaui's Messen
ger stands at the head of this class ; it is taken
by every crowned head in Europe.
In thl3 country seme few journals hare ac
quired imincnso influence. The “ lUchmend
Enquirer,” in tho days of Thomas Rilcfcie, at
tained great strength. It was the leading
Democratic paper. Its firo waa always de
structive, when turned with fall force upon nn
adversary. It kept ita party Sag always fly
ing. Somo few other papers have exerted great
influence over public opinion. Tho ‘Globe,”
and tho “National Intelligencer,’’ were pow
erful in their day.
Every journal tiiat aspires to snch a position
as that which has been attained by these lead
ing papers, ought to he governed by principle.
It should keep steadily in view tho grand, un
swerving, organic ideas which enter into good
government. To these it should land, at all
times, an unbought and generous support, no
matter what tho accidents of the hour may be ;
no matter what offence may be taken by men
in placo, who look to it for laudation or apol-
ogy ; no matter what temporary advantages it
may lose by its noble frankness—it must ad
here to principle. It must never second an
evil scheme, nor be silent when the great prin
ciples of liberty are assaulted. It must never
lay itself open to the reproach of having suf
fered a murder to be committed in its presence,
when it should have endeavoied to stay tho
hand of the assassin of popular liberty ; nor
•nffer him that it should have counselled to
wiser and nobler courses to exclaim—
*• lltulut tlieu hut shook thy bend.
Or mado ft pause when I epoke darkly;
Or turned uu eye of doubt upon my face !”
The function of a true popular journal Is to
guide public oninion. It must not suffer pub
lic men to mislead it. It must by its own
power sway them, and keep them loyal to
principle. It is a pleasing task to give a
hearty support to eminent men ; men eminent
in station, in intellect, in character. But this
must be accorded to them as a reward for their
loyalty to principle. They must be sustained
because they are tho advocates of great meas
ures, whoso success is essential to The welfare
of the country. They must be defended against
assaults upon their position, that their useful
ness may not be impaired. They must be en
couraged to heroie exertions in defence of the
right, and bo animated to mako war upon the
wrong. But this does not involve a servile
acquiescence in the course of party leaders.
Nor does It admit of a degrading laudation of
the acts of an Administratiou which ought to
be condemned.
Policy is allowable, In politics it is always
expected. It would boa romantic exercise of
qualities, certainly noble—but while noble to
l>e always allied to prudence—to criticise on
every occasion tho acts of a political friend,
because wo could not yield a full concurrence,
or a hearty support to his views. But we do
assert that no journal that desires to enjoy the
confidence of its readers, or to maintain its
own sell-respect, should give its support to
measures hurtful to publio liberty, no matter
by whom those measures are projected, upheld,
or advocated.
Organs are understood to be the authentic
interpreters of an Administration. Acquaint
ed with its policy, they are able to foreshadow
coming measures and to secure for them a fa
vorable reception. They arc able too to defend
' the Administration from assaults upon its poli
cy. and they are, of course, more fully inform
ed of the facts which surround a question of
public policy. All this is well and proper.
But if to be an organ, implies a servile sur
render of the individuality of the journal; a
sordid advocacy of the measures of an Admin
istration ; a swearing by the word of a master;
a disgraceful laudator of all the measures of
the reguaut party; an oblivion of the nobler
and grander demands of statesmanship ; a
yielding of the columns of the paper to a de
fence of measures hurtful to popular liberty ;
a betrayal of the people—then we pronounce
an organ to bo the most hateful of all things
• under the sun. The meanest, the vilest, the
basest. To consent to attack Aoso who differ
.< with the party in power ; to misrepresent them;
* to open one's columns to traduction, because
gentlcmeu have the manliness and the inde
pendence to speak or write for liberty—these
are vile uses.
For our own part, wo have our partialities ;
our aversions ; our friendships ; bnt we shall
never surrender our individuality, our inde
pendence, our privilege of speaking the truth.
We shall fearlessly assault the measures of the
Administration when wo think that they ought
to be opposed. We shall unsparingly bring to
the popular view their shortcomings. We shall
applaud their acts when we can. ,
We are no man's organ. We know how to
respect an upright, true, conscientious and in
dependent public servant. Whatever of sup
port we can give to him. while pursuing his
high, noble, patriotic course, we shall freely
give. Here is our position. We shall main
tain it. So far we have been independent
We may lose some friends whom we should be
to retain, we may make enemies by out
baldness, we may wound by our frankness ;
but one thing we intend to do—we shall to the
-last assert our independence ; we shall dare to
speak the truffi ; and shall bring within the
range of our observation the whole field of
pnblic affairs; and the columns of our Journal
Shall at all times utter the language which men
love to hear, who feel that they are freemen
and that they have not surrendered their liber
}es,*or gold ihenisulvea to &ny Administration
AFFAIR* IN GEORGIA.
The situation of affairs in our State, which
last week was rather gloomy and threatening,
has suddenly brightened. Our Etar is still in
the ascendant. Victory yet perches on our
tanners.
Sherman, in imitation of Grant in Virginia,
has sent ou t his raiding parties to pillage the
country and destroy our railroads; aad with
like results. Before inflicting any serious or
irreparable damage, they have been over
taken and routed by our cavalry. Stoneman.
the leading spirit of the expedition, has been
taken prisoner with five hundred of his «en,
and the balance of bis troops scattered by
Iverson. Tbe foroe, commanded we presume
by Uonsseau, driven back onNewnanby Jack
son, fell most unexpectedly into the hands es
Roddy, who gave them a hot reception, cap
turing a thousand find killing and wounding
an indefinite number.
These were doubtless the two main bodies
of the raiding force ; one of them being sent
to operate on the Georgia and Central Reads,
and the other on the Macon and West Point.
Both have received their quietug, and the
smaller bands, scattered over the country, cm
their errands es mischief, will soon be driven
back or captured. This first raiding experi
ment, on which Sherman counted so much,
may be set down as a dead failure.
Both Grant and Sherman had flattered them
selves that they would bo able to cut off our
communications and force our armies, which
they could not whip, to fall back by means of
extensive raids; but both have bean wofully
disappointed. They omitted to take into
account that there were bsmus cavalry on our
side, who nright attend to their marauding
parties. With their usual blindness and over
weening coifidencc, they failed to see the dan
gers ahead, tho obstacles which might obstruct
their path of victory.
It is now certain that Jiherman cannot ac
complish his purpose by raids. It* may do us
much mischief, and occasion us much inconve
nience, but he can not drive Gen. Hood from
Atlanta by such expedient*.
Many of our people were greatly terrified by
these movements, and ware almost ready to
give up in despair. But they now eea that
their fears were groundless—that with such a
lody of cavalry, as we possess, na raiding force
which the enemy can*se*d out can ravage the’
country with impunity.
It is a demonstrated fact, that the cavalry af
th* South are superior to, and an or*rmsteh
for those of the *ne«y. They are better rider*
and better fighters. The ®*n *f the Soath,
like tho Arabs of tho desert, treat home in th*
saddle; and are unequalled and roetstl*se in a
charge or pursuit. Oa th* contrary, Northern
troops are generally unskilled In horsemanthip,
and awkward in th* saddle. Hence, they de
not mako as geod cavalry as Infantry, for this
is not their T*cation. Thia incontestiblo su
periority of our caralry, will erer defeat th*
raiding policy of the enemy. It is folly for
him to attempt to subjugate us by raids.
Gen. Hood has been again victorious in a
goneral engagement. The enemy has received
another bloody repute*, and is brought to a
stand before Atlanta, having failed, thus far,
by all his efforts, to capture that important
point. 'We aro ranch mistaken if, with tho
reinforcements going forward, Ileod dees not
compel Sherman before many days, to change
his base. Ho has tested the strength of his
adversary; he has shown his ability to cope
with him in battle; to hold his ground against
any assaults ; and only needs a moderate in
crease of force, to send Sherman flying back
through the mountains of Georgia, a littio
faster than ho came.
Wo know nothing, as yet, of any movments
in Sherman’s rear, lie seems to have dismiss
ed any fear or concern in regard to it, suppos
ing, we presume, that all our forces are fully
employed in his front, and we would not, if
we could, disturb his blissful sense of security.
Morgan, whom wo hoped would have been sent
to Gen. Hood’s assistance, we are informed
has gone to Early. Perhaps so, but we si.all
see. Rumor placed Forrest at Huntsville, a
few days ago, but we know nothing certainly -
ns to his whereabouts. With Micawber, we pa
tiently wait for something to turn up.
It is a cheering fact that the Militia are press
ing on to Atlanta —the gallant and indomitable
Militia of Georgia. How many are going, w
aro not informed, and, if w* were, would keep
silont on the subject, We know they will fight
It is said they have the happy peculiarity of
not knowing when they are whipped. They
arc decidedly opposed to a retrograde move
ment towards their own homes ; and will stand
until the last man shall fall, before they will
yield an inch of ground to the invaders of their
State.
ALRXANBER LOftU’ft SMEt’fl.
The speech of Alexander Long is the boldest
and manliest utterance, we have yet had from
the North. It deals a giant’s blow at the In
famous war, now being waged against tho
people of the South. Its condemnation is
emphatic. Its opposition unqualified. It is
an outspoken declaration for the right of the
Southern States to up a Government for
themselves. For the conclusion of peace on
tho basis of Southern independence.
Tho utteranco of such a speech, almost with
in the precincts of Cincinnati, to assembled
and applauding thousands, is a phenomenon.
It indicates a radical and wide spread change
of Northern sentiment. One year ago such a
speech, would have sent Mr. Long to Canaria
or Fort LaFayettc. Now, it is spoken with
impnnity, without fear of the frowns of the
Washington despot.
Mr. Long is a representative man of the
peace party, everywhere recognised and en
dorsed by it. The stand which he took last
winter, on the floor of the Federal House es
Representatives against the further prosecn
tlon es the war, called forth the wannest ap
plause of his supporters and has been approved
by numerous Democratic peace Conventions
and assemblages. We may, therefore; regard
this speech as an authoritative exposition of
the views, the policy, and determination of the
party, of which ho is one of the most popula
and distinguished organs. We may take it as
the programme of that party, in the approach
ing Chicago Convention, to assemble on the
29th day of the present month. Reace, and
the recognition of the independence of the
South, will be the two main planks in its plat
form. On these, it will go before the people,
to fight the Presidential battle of 1104.
A great party, unconditionally pledged to
opposition to the war, and to the restoration
of peace, it is now certain will take the field
against Lincoln in the coming contest This is
a point gained for us, and for the interests of
peace.
It is no insignificant Organization that thus
throws down the gage of battle. It is a party,
embracing at this time nine-tenths of the De
mocracy of the North. Last year it cast for
Yallandingham one hundred and eighty thou
sand votes in the State of Ohio, and this year
it will cast many more. It is a fierce, deter
mined party .exasperated by many wrongs,which
tis bent on avenging. It will permit no mili
tary interference as formerly, by the vulgar
and insolent tyrant, who is seeking to perpetu
ate his power on the rains of civil liberty. W
have not a doubt that blood will flow if this
be again attempted. Lincoln Is evidently in
timidated by the stem and defiant attitude of
the peace party. He dare not tew repeat the
experiment of laying violent hands on its lead
| ers as he has previously done. He sees that
j there is danger in the enemy that he has rous
, ed. That there is brewing which a
Ivery slight provocation may cause to burst
in fire and blood upon his head.
One sf the most features pf this
speech, is ite clear and distinct enunciation of
the doctrine of •ftato sovereignty—that each
State is a sovereign and independent nation,
and the Union but a league of sovereig- ~
which did not relinquish nor impaii^fSsw-sov
ereignty, when they entered into the Federal
compact; but haVe an indefeasible right to as
sert that sovereignty, at any time, and to with
draw from the league, whenever any of them
rasy deem it advisable to do so. The mischie
vous idea of consolidation is vehemently de
nounced, ae is,- also, ite logical sequence, coer
cion. These positrons are maintained with a
formidable array of facts and arguments.
Mr. Long has boldly struck at the fundamen
tal errors in whieh the war originated. He
has undertaken to dispel those errors from the
Nerthem mind, to work a radical cure of the
popular delusion and phrenzy, by the inculca
tion of sound doctrine, by a retnrn to the prin"
ciplea and views of the framers of the Consti.
tution.
We have reason to believe that Mr. Long and
his associates have, also, an ulterior object in
this bold and dellant assertion of the right of
secession: that they are looking to the separa
tion es the Western States from the Eastern
and Norther*. The West is now groaning un
der the burtheas imposed by the rapacity and
moaopollzlng spirit of New England. She
Unde herself a tributary vassal to the commer
cial and raaaufaoturing powers #f the East, the
victim of their cupidity and Injustice, and is
ripe for revolt. The day may not bo far dis
tant, when we will see tbe Western States erect
an Independent republlo. This is evidently
the favorite scheme of many of tho most intlu-*
ential and able public man at the West. It is
a schema peculiarly tempting to their ambition
and self interest, and its realization is not an
improbability.
F*om Gaaiffu Raima**.—From all accounts
wa gather the annexed newt :
Straggling bands oi tho wain body of thu
raiders which pasted thraugh Covington ou
Thmrsday, visited plastatioa* in the edge of
Morgan coumty, taking males, horses and ne
groes from the planters. The names of Mr.
Braaghtoa, a former merchant of Madison,
and Mr. Pitts, residing about tea miles from
tawn, are mantloned as sufferers. They did
nat generally destroy private property or mills.
At Oxford the raiders visited Dr. Means, bnt
did him no injary. Thoy also overhauled
brother Knawlea of tho Macan Journal & Mes
senger, who was riding along the road near
Oxford, In his buggy, when ha changed his
hate to a convenient corn field where they soon
flanked him, and tho worthy knight of tho
qnill came to a graceful surrender. They did
not ham a hair of his head, and ou his com
plaining that the party ou the other flank bad
taken his horse and buggy, they turned over a
mule to him, and rumor has it that the parson
o t the best of the swap. ,
Our correspondent says that littlo public
property remains in Madison to tempt the
vandals to extend their visits to that place. He
says that the valuable stores of shoes and
clothing, belonging to the State, were delayed
several days by the Confederate officers, wiio
would monopolize all oars seat to that point,
with hospital hunks, and other trash—a pain
fal illustration of the inhecility which has
characterized the business machinery of our
Government.
Tho ralders fcave burned Cartwright factory
at Scull Shoals, and the bridge over the Oconee
above Greensboro.
A party of raiders made their appearance at
Athens on Tuesday—about ono thousand in
number. They were meet by a force under
Col. Dribble, and retreated it is said without
making much show of a fight. A large force
of Confederate cavalry it iB stated was in their
rear. This probably was one reason why they
left without making an attack.
The raiders have left Madison. The fire seen
in that direction on Tuesday was not the
Oconee bridge, bat was a largo lot of commisa
ry stores which had been piled up and fired by
the Yankees.
Among others who have suffered by tho van
dalism hf the Yankee raiders at Madison, we
leara that Hon. Joshua Hill was a heavy loser
jn horses, mulas and other property.
The country above Madison is said to be full
of scattered bands of Federals moving round
and making their way towards Sherman’s
army.
From all reports, it appears that one body of
the raiders has been badly whipped, demoral
ized, and scattered in ail directions.
There may however bo other parties still in
other sections that have not been properly at
tended to. Those whose duty it is should be
on the lookout.
Fir* at Greekjboro.—A blacksmith shop,
and a large wooden building, near the Court
House in Greensboro, was fire
Monday night. Abont three hundred bales of
cotton, belonging to parties in Savannah, was
also burned.
A largo building near by—fall of cotton ;
and the dwelling house of Mr. Dastor.at one
time were in great danger—but were saved by
groat exertions.
When the alarm was given the citizens
thought that the Yankees were certainly in the
place, and were greatly excited.
The fire was undoubtedly the work of an in
cendiary. The residents of places in those sec
tions where the raiders have been cannot be
too vigilant.
Akotitbr Party of Raiders Captures. —The
party of Yankee raiders which were seen near
Athens on Tuesday morning were captured the
same afternoon. They numbered about one
hundred and fifty. They had encamped for
the night at Bass Mills, Gwinnett co., and were
surrounded by MaJ. Clark, who had been pur
suing them all day, with a force of seventy
men. The Tankeee surrendered at first fire. —
Some three hundred horses and mule3 wer
captured; also three negroes. The country i„
full of scattered parties of raiders and they are
continually being picked up by our men.
Asother Party of Raiders Captured.—We
learn that a party of raiders was captured in
Monroe on Thursday. It is stated that they
numbered about five hundred, and were pro
bably those who escaped from Gen. Iverson
when Stoneman was taken. They were en
camped at the time our troops came upon them.
Abont fifty of the raiders were killed.
All of the large bodies of raiders, we be
lieve have now been taken, although the coun
try we are told is full of small parties—num
berin'! from teD to fifty. If the citizens will
assist our forces promptly and energetically,
the country will soon be cleared of them.
Tub Crntral Railroad. —We are requested
to state that it will take two or three weeks to
repair the Oconee bridge on the Central Rail
road, instead of the time mentioned by ns in
Wednesday’s paper.
We are also requested to announce that la
dies, children Jand ’trunks cannot be carried
over the bridge for a week to come,—only male
travellers and hand baggage.
Promoted. —Col. Robert H. Anderson, of
the Fifth Georgia cavalry, has been appointed
Brigadier General.
Gen. Anderson was wounded in the late
fight with the Yankees near Newnan.
Railroads.— The damages done to the Ma
con and Atlanta railroad have all been repair
ed. Trains now rnn regularly to Columbus,
via Opelika, and the road between Opelika and
Chehaw will be in running order in a few days.
Arrival or Steamers. —Several steamers
with valuable cargoes, arrived at a Confeder
ate port a few nights since,
Ravages or the Yankees is North Georgia.
—According to the confessions of the Yankee
letter writ re, Sherman’s army has bpen guilty
of committing every kind of atrocity in North
Georgia.
A correspondent oi the Elmira Gazette, writ
ing from near Dalton, says:
We camp on large and beautiful plantations,
and spread desolation, unavoidably, before us.
A? we advance we make quite as clean a sweep
of live stock as the enemy have of their slaves.
The large fields of corn, wheat, rye, tobacco and
cotton, in the most nourishing condition, indi
cate the prosperity of the country. In most
instances the inhabitants flee before us, only
the poorer elasaes remaining at home. It fs
truly heart sickening to see to beautiful a
country ravaged and destroyed ; these fine
farms and pleasant homes are truly unequalled
in any country, but tr.e hand ot war will lay a
scourge on rhein that a century cannot efface.
When we confronted the enemy at Cassville,
they barricaded the town, and intended to
make a stand, but late in the afternoon they
evacuated the place, and our forces occupied
it. During the battle all the inhabitants va
cated the town, that was sacked and pillaged
by tbe soldiers. On entering one house we
saw a soldier donned in the habiliments of
some Southern lady—black silk dress, a pink
of a bonnet, white kids, hoops, etc., while on
the floor in mutual ruin lay a large and costly
vase that had been hurled into a hundred dol
lar mirror; added to the confused mixture
was an annihilated piano—smashed sofa, bro
ken chairs, etc. While making my way to
camp I saw a splendid oil painting of the “Sur
render of Yorktown,’’suspended from the side
of an old supply wagon, for tho gratification
and classic tastes of some ruulo driver.
A correspondent of the New York Express
writes as follows of the suffering now expe
rienced l>y the defenceless and helpless women
and children of Georgia now iu possession af
the Yankees.
Tho section of Georgia through which this
army has passed is literally stripped of every
thing; what little the Confederates left has
been absorbed by our forces. I witnessed a
sight lately which I pray I may never witness
again. I have seen death upon the battle-finld
in all of its most horrid forms; I have seen
whole platoons es brave men melt away before
the iron storm of battle, but was never so viv
idly impressed with a true realization of the
horrors of war as I wasthen.
I strolled far up a winding ravine between
two ranges of hills. When dis
tance from camp I came upon about twenty
women, giris and children huddled together,
partakers iff each others wretchedness nmong
the bliis in a state of starvation. Close by
was a rude, newly made grave, where one of
their number had been laid iu toe ground, who
they said starved to death. Such a group of
misery I never saw before. No couch but the
ground, no shelter but the pitiless sky, and not
a morsel of food ! I tnrned from the scene sick
at heart that I could do nothing for them, and
to think that their lawful protectors were Just
across the hiiis engaged in battle. Leaving
the snot, I saw a worn an hurrying across the
field wringing her hands in a state of despair
bordering on madness.
Georgians! this is a specimen of the fate
which awaits you if Sherman succeeds in over
running your fair State. . This is the fate which
awaits your wives and daughters unless you
succeed in repelling the foe.
Upon you then Georgians, is placed tho bur
den of defending your State from being laid
waste and made desolate! In this great emer
gency, prove yourselves to be men, worthy,of
tho priceless boon of liberty ypu have inherited
from your revolutionary sires. Let their deeds
of valor cmulato you to like acts I Heed not
the advico of men who would deter you from
responding to the patriotic call of your Gov
ernor. None but those who hate Georgia
would give such counsel. Let those who
are striving to prevent your chief Executive
from carrying out plans which will save the
remainder of the State from tlie rapacity of the
foe, see that their designs have signally failed-
.—MS><BSO=.
A TREAT. TO SOLDIERS ABSENT FROM THEIR (Jon
hands. —lt behooves us all, in this time of our
country's peril, to cheer the hearts and
strengthen the hands of our brave defenders in
the field. While those whose duties require
their presence at home can do much to in
crease tho efficiency of the- army, more partic
ularly is it now enjoined upon those soldiers
absent from their commands, to add. to our
numerical military strength by a speedy return
to the ranks. Every soldier belonging to tho
Army of ?enne3se should esteem it a high pri
vilege, as well as a duty, to be faithfully at Ms
post.' We shall achieve our independence—
Georgia, and her sister States, will bo ere long
rid of every hostile foot—the stars and bars
will float again over our repossessed and right
ful territory—but to consummate this great and
glorious result, the hardest, the most stubborn
fighting is necessary. Every man’s muscle
and nerve is requisite for its accomplishment.
These who owe their services to their country
n Gan. Hood’s army, who are dallying at
homo, or straggling in out of the way places,
or delayed by interrupted railway communica
tion, arc earnestly .urged to return to Atlanta.
To such, absent under whatever circumstances,
we would say, Return to duty. Your comrades
in arms call you ; your commanding general
invites yon ; the whole people implore yon.
When victory perches upon our banner, and
our liberties are won through the heroic endu
rance and valor of the Confederate army, let it
not be said that you were not iu the ranks t*
help win the day and participate in iis -tri
umphs. Absentees from the Army of Tennes

An Allege!) CoNsmacy for the Forma
tion of a Northwestern Confederacy. —The
St, Louis Democrat gives a long account of a
conspiracy to form a Northwestern Confede
racy. Whether the statement is true, c>r wheth
er it is simply a bug bear story started in
order to get up an excitement in favor of Lin
coln, remains to be seen. Hero is the Demo
crats account of the organization :
The Democrat publishes a long account of
the conspiracy for the ereetidU ot the North
| .western Confederacy referred to a few days
) since. The organization engaged in this con
[ eujracy i3 known as Tlio Order of American
(Knights, and the objects to embarrass tbe Gov
ernment in tbe conduct of the war, and over
| throw the Government, if necessary, for the
i supremacy of the Order.
Its profession and purposes arc different iu
different Btatca. If proclaims a war policy in
New York, Pennsylvania, Now Jersey and oth
er Eastern States, white in the West it is for
peace. The order is a Southern organization,
being erected ca the ruins of the Knights of
the Golden Circle, and General Sterling Price
is Supreme Comma s '..ter.
YaHfin-Ugbam, while in Richmond, was made
Supremo Commander of the Northern section
of the Border ; and a conspiracy was entered
ihto between Lira and the rebel authorities to
divide the East and -West, and then aid the
Southern rebellion. Yallnndigkam’s time in
-Canada was principally spent in farthering' this
scheme. Holm! a conference with some of
the leading spirits in the North soon alter Iris
arrival in Canada, and arranged for the estab
lishment ot the Order throughout the loyal
Stales.
* The names of all who visited him at the
Clifton Hour-e aro known to the Government,
among them William B. Reed, of Philadelphia ;
Pendleton-and Pugh, of Ohio ; Kribben, of St.
Louis ; Storey! and Merrick, of Chicago, are
published. Tito results of this are
I also known to the Government,
i About the first of January, Vallandingham
! issued ail addre; :; to the loyal States, in which
| he calls upon the members to renew their
I vows lie says the time is fast.approaching
I which will test their sincerity. That the pros
ecuiion ot the war is a violation of the rights
| <H' tiie States, and that President Lincoln is a
usurper.
A meeting of the Grand Commanders of the
different States was held in New York on the
22d of February, for the purpose of organizing
an outbreak on the 10th of Mrrch, the day fix
ed for the draft, but no definite plain was re
solved on. The names of these conspiratous
are also known. The same Commanders bad a
conversation with the Supreme Commander at
Windsor, Canada, early in April, for a general
consultation. Among those in attendance were
McMasters, New York ; Cash. L. Hunt, St.
Louis ; Lafayette Devilin, Indiana.
The programme adopted at these meet
ings was, that Vallandigham should repre
sent his district in' Ohio in tire Democratic
National Convention, and there proclaim *he
doctrine of their Order, viz: To pronounce
tho existing adminislralk-n of tho Government
a power usurped, which the people had a right
to expel by force, if necessary ; in fact, inau
gurate rebellion in the North, in which he was
to bo supported by the order of each G rand
Commander, and wan to have an armed body
guard at the Convention, for the defence of
Vallandigham.
This, it was thought, would ■ precipitate the
people cf the free States into armed conflict,
and would be the signal for the members of the
order to unite again;t lawful authorities, r.ill
or capture the civil ami military authorities,
seize arsenals, arms and public property of ail.
kinds, and proclaim the Govcrmneirt over
thrown. . . ~ ...
Tiiere»is most conv-r.cing evidence of t.ie
truthfulness of this statement. The jeaons of
Yallandigham’s sudden return to Ohio was ilic
■fear of bring defeated as g delegate to Chicago,
and it was only by his pre-ene** his election
was secured. Th-i numerical strength of this
Order is said to be considerably ov; r a half a
million. One hundred and filly thousand arc
armed and organized. The order in New
Yuii* is called‘•JlcOicllan’s Minute Men.”
The Grand Commander in Missouri is Chas.
L. Hunt, nephew of J. 11. Lucas, and many
years Belgian cdftml; Deputy Grand Comman
der, Chas. E. Dunn, city officer of fit. Louis.
A lor”' ’I- of the names of members of the
Order' in different States, together with full in
formation concerning tire v-hole scheme is in
the hands of the authorities at Washington,
and will probably be given to the public in a
short time.
