, Knights of the Golden Circle.
;:`Among the other agetNan„whirhiajlvMeen
employed to o pamitpittifte the Insurrectionary
o;ement and to persuade the people of the
South to make a forcible restmtance to the an
tbority of the Federal Government, the order
of the Knights of the Golden Circle has
doubtless exercised considerable ibfluence.
Many believe that a lodge, or, technically
speaking, a o castle" of the order was es
tablinbed In this city, and that some of our
moat active ay moathizers with the Secession
cone were connected with it. Certain it Is
that It has mmy members in the Southern
States, and that the veil of secrecy which
enshrouds its proceedings N an admirable
cloak to the plans of the conspirators, who use
its orginizatiou to assist them in perfecting
their plans for the destruction of the Union
The Louisville Journal has recently obtained
tell copies of its ritual and the accompanying
keys, which expisin the cyphers it-contains
and the pass war's and signs which are used.
The professed objects of the Order aro to
re Santhernizo n Mexico by conquering it anti
establishing perpetual slavery within its bor;
derv; and also to assist any Southern State to
regret what Is termed cc Northern invasion," as
well as to, war upon all cc Abolitionists," or
non slaveholders of Northern birth In the
Southern States, who are not enthusiastic sup
porters of the peculiar institution.
The Mexican part of the programme in
based nu the id-a that a treaty was made on
the ltih of February, 1860, with Magner,
DoisLADo, Governor of Guanajuato, by which
the K. G. C. undertook to furnish him with
16,000 men, armed, equipped, and provided
with all necessary supplies to take the field
under, his command, while he is to firrnish
an equal number of men to be officered by
=en connected with the K. G. C's. The ex
penses of their outfit are to be provided for by
a large bonus 01 land, as well as a mortgageti
right to collect one halt the annual revenues
of Guawijnato, until the sum of $840,000 is
Obtained.
The pay of the amyl' to be the same aslthat
of the regular army of M exiao, which le said to
be about one eighth more than that of the
United States. Members are privileged either
to accompany this filibustering army on it■
march over the Rio Grandy, which, if so rine'.
Tinted delay occurs, Is to take place in Octo
ber pert, or to remain at home to assist in ob
taming recruits, raising money and munitions,
and in other ways facilitating the accomplish
meet of the oljacts of the Circle. It is a part
of their vow to do ail in their power to assist
in the expulsion of the free negroes from the
Soutbetn States, aid to compel them to flee
to Mexico, and also to endeavor to conquer
the whole or as mach as possible of the latter
country, and to form it into slave States. The
p..ons are to be perpetually enslaved and dl
vide(' among the X. G. C.'s.
It is proposed for the present to establish a
Limited Monarchy in the district which they
conquer, and the successor of the present head
of the Order, Gen. lilicitter, must "swear to
carry out this policy, and to extend .slavery
over the whole or Central America, if In his
power " as well as try to acquire Cubs and
control the Gulf of Mexico."
So far as the aft ►its of oar own country are
Concerned, they are told that it is their duty
to offer their " services to any Southern
State to repel a Northern army," and from
present appearances they will have sufficient
employment hero for some time to come.
They mast promise to use their best exertions
to ascertain who are It Abolitionists" in the
emirates in which they reside, and to report
their names to the bead of the order, as well
as to keep a close watch upon all their pro
ceedinss ; and they agree, in case of insurrec
tion or invasion, to muster the largest ferce
the • LieLef_ danger.
Theo belonging to the first, which is of a
military character, are styled Knights of the
Iron Rand. The second is of * financial
character, and its members are called Knights
of tho Trne Faith. The third is of a political
character, and its members are 'called Knight*
of the Columbian Star. To become a mem
ber of the Third Degree, the candidate must
be familiar with the work of the two former
degrees, 41 be born in a slave State, or if not,
a siaveholder and a Protestant." As some of
our readers may be carious in regard to their
signs. &c., we give them as furnished by the
Journal, the figures ruled being those found in
the ritual, and the words in parenthesis the
explanations furnished by the key

The recent experiments made by order of
the British Admiralty have created the great
eat and gravest doubts of the power of man

are as impregnable as the) first obtained credit

are costly—say $1 600 to $2,000 each—bat it
they have the pr"jectile force generallrattri
bated to them, and, as yet, borne out by ex
periment, the' expense is comparatively trilling.
rhe superiority of mail-clad" steamers to the

but if these are not impregnable, one hall their
value and prestige is gone. The great merit
of the mail clad vessels was their inylnelbi•lty

COiOI3CI Einstein's Regiment
By the graphic letter which we publish this
morning from a member of Colonel Buisrsin's
regiment, it will be seen that, while the great
body of our army was retreating in disorder
from the battle field on Sunday night, his men
were quietly occupying it, and that not until
after twelve o'clock did they retire, without
the slightest molestation from the enemy. It
is evident that the latter had been too seri
ously damaged to pursue our, forces, and that
the contest had inspired them with such -'a
wholesome fear of the Union trdops that they
had little disposition to seek any engagement
with them they could avoid.

daybreak. About 4 o'clock in the afternoon the
main body of the foe advanced within half a mile
of the run—three several attempts to advance each
time being repulsed with great slaughter.
Their retreat bad every appearance of a signal
rout, leaving the dead behind, and losing six pieces
of artillery. Two Virginia regiments pursued
some distance, capturing a number of prisoners.

The existence of a system of social espionage plasm
oar forces at a disadvantage when csontending with
the armies of the rebellion.' I believe that Gen
Besuzegard Kr. Darts knows more of the ope
rations of oar Government, of the movements, this
disposition and :he numbers of our !OTOS!, than
most of the' leading men in the departments. ,Ifo
one doubts but that they have a constant ;system
of eommunieation between Washington and.Rieh
mond. The Taxi magnanimity and indulgence. of
our Government embolden, the enabatarlas of this
conspiracy to plot treason and commit treaohery

interrogating nearly every prisoner taken at the re
vast battle, that be was fully acquainted with every,
material military feet sonneatedMith our fortes
and their meditated advance upon 'Riehmond.
Among the most dilatant allies of them people are
the sensation correspondents of the New York
press, and the weak' imitations of the New York
press you happen to have in Philadelphia. It
seems to me, that to be a correspondent of one of
these papers is to be a spy on every movement of
the departments. They betray the secrets of
the Government, and abase the Government be.

of the recent battle were in keeping with the usual
style of their , despatches.: Exaggerated and un

sowardice, and braggadocio, and either annuar4

There is a certain feeling of regret among our
people that the fourth Pennsylvania regiment
should have returned hone on the morning of the
day of battle To be sure the period for which
they had enlisted had arrived, but in topsiders
tl n of the trot that a conflict of arms was pending
they *lvied have remained Their commander,
Colonel flartranft, continued at bls post on the
battle field. At the same time while I say this of
the Fourth, and lbw, too, that it was with sorrow I
viewed their departure, we must complitnent them
for their promptness in coming to the rosette of
menaced Washington, and for their fidelity and
discipline during their term of as vice.
The vigor of the Government in its efforts to re
organize our army inspires r great feeling of confi
dence in the minds of the people. They confide
in the Administration and those high in authority.

Mr. COLLAR/CR said no country wee more de

tirely under the old confederation. and as an ar

Legislature. or the people of the States eqild not
do anything to overthrow or disobey the Conetitn:

Mr DAIWA. of New York, raid that be was in
favor of the recolution es it was The war wu
not serried on for purposes of subjugation ; bat if,
in the dotage of the war, Clevary shoold be

Mr Fasagana. of Maine, laid he had some
objeotione to the words " around the capital " Al

We do not carry on the war for the purpose of op
pression or &obligation, bat we have the pause,
which we mean to carry out, to maintain the Go

carrying out this purpose, it would become nem
eery to roll -mate
Mr Dot•tirrta. of Wisconsin, invested the
words "near the capital," which would be thefset.
It wag necessary to prosecute the warier the math
tenants. of the Union, and. if necessary, to subju
gation, eepture, and hangirg; but the purpese of
the war was simply to maintain the laws and the
Constitution, and it devolved especially on the
Republican party to defend the Constitution
Mr. WILLIT, of Virginia, said that, if or the
explanations of the Senator. there would cairn to
be no objeations to the wr•rd stitjugetion, bat there

with this view, was ready to vote eve ythisg with

and re establielt the Union on a basis never to be

would vote for the resolution exactly as it was.

the Government had aoy right to Interfere •fob
slavery in the States_ Lie had always declared w
and did now. Be thought it was dee to ow
friends, like the Union men in Virginia, If thin
were oar santimants, to say so
Mr. Knywrinr, of Maryland, otjeoted to tbe re
imitation, because it *dui not state tally the meet
of the war- Ile thought it was not entirely dot
to the Southern D , eunionists If the alert el
pecan and conciliation tendered at the list embus
had been tco.pted, we would not hare been Is
war. Bs would vote for this resolation with this
explanation of what were the actual causes of the
war "'
Mr. CLAIM, of New Hampshire, said that be
would vote for the resolution as presented by the
Senator from Tennessee. The Senators fro*, Mi

be divided . He 'could not vote for the fiat part,
but would vote for the lasi part.
- rho Senate refused to divide the resolotlen
kr Bancernincir, of Kentucky, said he could
not vote for the resolution, as he theta:Mit did not
state facts. In regard to the war being fonsed on
the soturtry by the Southern Theunionistr, his
opinion was that the present condition o the sous
try wee due to the refusal of the majority, last
winter, to make any conciliation Se did not
think that the attaek on P rt Sumpter was Mil'
moss of general war, and the President was re
spoosible for thi general war low existing
He
did not think that Congress bad done its duty to
the whole eountry He believed that the war was
prosecuted for the purpose of irohjogatiou, and not
for the maintenance of the Constitution, for the
Constitution was trampled on every day He be
lieved that if the. war was (tarried on for twelve
nionths• it would be the gr ave of constitutional
liberty. That wall hie bumble juditmeot Peaty
is what we need for the rertorstion of the Govern

Mr Bauman, of Ohio. thanked God that the
Sanetor from Kentucky did not represent the voles
of KelittliikY- The President has lot Mooed
about this Mar ; it was forced on the reentry
by those who fired on our flag, and committed
other sets of war. The truth Is, the peon! , have
'forborne too long with Southern trearon. Tbeyde
mended a new Contiltudon, with new provision.,
and because they could not do this, they tried to
break up the Government Be thought all this
clap trap about subjugation shonle be d maimed
from the Serrate. lie thought the resolutlou
ally true; but the Senator jottings. those who
fouled the country into war. and charges the me
jority of the Senate and the President with the at
tempt to .obvert the Constitution He (Mr. Sher
man) was for the war to save the eonntry. aid was
wuilog to give all be bed. and even his life, for the
purpose of protecting the Government.
Mr BIIRCKINRIDON, of Kentucky, replied, con
tending that the arguments bad not bees en
awered. He professed to stand on the Contrite
lion es mob as any other Senator, and thought
that benid rept:intent the State of Kentucky. Bat
if Kentucky 'was ti jgo into this horrible and fra
tricidal-war he' would acquiesce, bat would be no
sens'or on this 'floor. The Senator from Oh . *
eloied by saying he was for the war. He stolid
Oicsee; ea w Senator from Kentucky, as a friend of
the Constitution,:,and a philanthropist, by 11 1 1 / 4
that he was.against.tbe war.
Mr. Dooirrens, of Wisconsin, defended the sot
ierity of the Senate and the Adtnioistration from
being the cause of the war Be said, no terms of
eotepronike would be received lut 8681i00, bat
the rebels in arms demanded what they could
not be granted, for the very purpose of having
the States go ont. He charged the friends of the
Senator from Kentucky with a design to WO
the Union when they broke up Go harlet
ten Convention.
Mr. BRNCRUIRIDOII denied any each intenders,
and claimed for himself that he never uttered
word or cherished a thought that was false to th e
Conetitutlon.
Mr Dootrirrts continued. He contended that
the Dterontontata ent wanted a retext to break
up the Government . . The Pres ident had done
naththi.more "than ;private individuate bad '
right to do; in case of actual trogeon The Senator
from "Able, (Mr. Bunter,) last year, talked of
