FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 1803.
Treason in Pennsylvania.
aaiis is a Startling story that we print this
rmorning. The officers of the law have
: brought to light a conspiracy in the county
* of Berks, the avowed object of which is to
„ cause the overthrow of the United States.
' "When we read the narrative of the reporter :
: it was with a hope that the evidence wou’id
- relieve us from the terrible impression 'hat
:'it conveyed, but no one can read the plain
and circumstantial account of Mr. Lyon
without alarm and mortification. /We
are to an which
- meets in bams, with signs, passwords,
‘and grips, evidently acting in communi
cation with a higher power, professing
to have associations in all parts of the coun
try, and having for its avowed object the
abduction of the President, armed resistance
to the law, and the overthrow of the Go
vernment.' It impossible that Mr. Lyon ex
aggerates some portions of his narrative,
or places too much importance upon trivial
occurrences, but there is a sad and wretched
truth running through his story that gives us
■hollow, and from which we cannot escape.
He describes a meeting that took place on
the 21st of March, 1803, in a barn of Jacob
Zbllar, in Marion township, Berks county.
By those mysterious agencies known to the
profession, Mr. Lyon had obtained know
ledge of the meeting, and secreted himself
under the straw. In the course of the eve
ning a hundred men assembled. The barn
was first searched, and pickets thrown
out to prevent discovery or surprise,
A Mr. Hubeh, who is in custody, led
the conversation. According to Mr. Lyon,
who was his concealed listener,.-” he de
nounced the war as unholy and unjust] he
said that the society was a million strong; lie
stated that it was first organized in the
South; that the society had signs, passwords,
and grips;” and then we learn that he ad
ministered the obligation, and that eighty
three members joined during that evening.
It is possible for a hundred men to meet
together in a barn, and denounce the Go
vernment, without incurring any particular
amount of guilt. It might be excused
under the theory of its being a Demo
cratic mass meeting, for such meetings
have a suggestive similarity. to the as
sembly in the barn. But we find the
evidences of treasonable conspiracy too plain
to be explained away. The pickets, the
precautions, the grips, the obligations sworn
upon tlie Evangelists, are all evidences of
conspiracy and guilt. Then we have the
atrocious creed which binds them together.
They declare themselves to be in favor of
“the abduction of Abkaiiam: Lincoln by
force, if necessary;” “of a Northwestern
Confederacy ; the resistance of the draft
or the Conscription Act.” These are
the fundamental principles of the organ
ization. The main object seems to be the
resistance of the draft.' They would try the
constitutionality of the conscription act,
■and, failing in that, use force. This is the
practical part of the whole conspiracy, and
we -hear in the barn of Mr. Zbllab nothing
more than the echo of more celebrated
•oracles. This phrase about testing the con
stitutionality of the conscription act, and fail
ing before the. courts, is familiar to us from
men more .powerful than Mr. Huber or his
associates, and we dwell upon it as an evi
dence of the sympathy that unites the ene
mies of the country against the Administra
tion. This arrest is a painful thing to us as
Pennsylvanians, but it is a warning to us as
Americans. We have so often warned and
implored the people—we have so frequently
exposed the danger and begged them to pre
pare—webrave so often shown the criminality
andtreachery of these men, that any farther
reference to it becomes the wearyrepetition of
a twice-told tale. This morning we give the
facts. Citizens, the time has come to mark
these, enemies of the country, who meet in
bams and hidden places to counsel anaichy
and rebellion. This spirit of crime is not
confined to the barn in Berks county. It as
cends into loftier places, controls council
chambers, and drags justice from many an
executive chair. It now creeps into secret
balls, and deliberates like pirates in a
cave, or assassins in an ambush. Mr.
Huber may have made , a mistake when
be spoke of a million of men joined in
bis mysterious organization, or the words
may have been the encouragement of a
leader to his partisans. But the defiance
he manifested, and the success he obtained,
show that he is the representative, or the
instrument, of a mightier organization. That
organization must be overthrown before we
can contemplate peace and triumph. Let
us take a warning from the developments of
this morning, and do our part in this just
and loyal duty.
The Eckel X.oan.
There is truth in the adage, 11 a fool and
his money are soon parted.” Certain per
sons in-France and England, who have
more cash than hrains, have agreed to lend
•fifteen million dollars to “the so-called
Southern Confederacy,” in expectation of
receiving an interest of seven per cent, fier
annum for the same, and the security for
repayment is cotton, at twelve cents the
pound, to be deliverable to the bondholders
Tvithin sixty days after a treaty of peace
shall have been ratified between the North
■and the South. This loan, to say the least
of it, must be considered very risky. The
-average interest of capital in Europe is from
three to three and a half per cent.—a half
■of what the rebel borrowers promise to pay.
The temptation to obtain large per centage
las been irresistible. We must take care
that, while the war lasts, the export of cot
ton from the South shall not take place.
■ We must blockade the Southern ports more
•closely than ever. We are bound not to let
any cotton quit the country while the war
lasts. It is easy to predict the fate of the
■Southern loan. Two or three instalments
■of the interest may be paid out of the money
borrowed, and then the payment will stop,
leaving the bondholders as much taken in
- A as' were the unfortunate'hut grasping dupes
who, in hope of obtaining larger interest
than' usual, lent money to-Spain, Mexico,
and Greece. Money must, indeed, be a
drug in France and England when people
risk it in a Confederate loan.
A T.oyal Meeting in New York.
To-morrow tlie Loyal National League of
New York propose to hold a great mass
meeting at Union Square, in that city. Tliey
intend this demonstration to be a very im
posing one, aiid they have invited the
Leagues everywhere, so far as it may be
convenient to do so, to participate. Our
Union League has determined to be repre
sented on the occasion, and quite a large
delegation is expected to go from here for
that-purpose. An" arrangement has been
made with the Camden and Amboy Com
pany for excursion tickets, good from Satur
day to Tuesday, inclusive, at four dollars
each, and members of the League desirous
of joining the party can obtain these tickets
of Mr. Andrews, at the League House, at
any time, dining to-day or this evening.
The delegation will leave for New York
by the eigliLo’clock morning-line.
Governor Curtin.
The zeal of Governor Curtin in attend
ing to the wants of our troops is manifested
.more ardently from day to day, and he
'looks upon Pennsylvanians in the field with
:afl'cctionate and constant solicitude: He is
-now in Washington attending to important
business affecting the welfare of the soldier,
■ and was .announced to return last evening.
-It is thought he will arrive in Harrisburg
'this morning.

LETTER EROJ j “OCCASIONAL.”
.shington, April 9, 18G3.
I have had a i on g conversation with a
Democratic * m ember elect of the new House
of RepresP .ntatives—one who was chosen by
a large rr .ajority from a populous district, and
who I ias probably been classed among the
extrp' me men by persons who did not under
®ta ’ ud his high and independent character.
I do not know when I have been more in
terested. The type of an iqvmense body of
citizens, who. have always been opppsed to
the Republican party, and who, from that
opposition, allowed themselves ‘ insensibly
to be>placcd against the Administration, ho
does not hesitate frankly to say that th<*
course of events has almost entirely obli
terated bis former animosities, aud has
cleared his vision to a fair and unprejudiced
view of our country’s future. He says, that,
when the results of the recent elections in
Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, and New Jersey
were ascertained, he hailed them Yfitli satis
faction, because lie believed that they
would be followed by a response from the
Southern people—that they would be ac
cepted in the seceded sections as a
manifestation on the part of a large propor
tion or the population of {he free Stales in
favor of the termination of the .war; and
that if these elections would' admonish Mr.
' Lincoln to pause in what my friend called
his radical career, they would, at the same
time, weaken the leaders of the rebellion,
and give joy and comfort to their oppressed
people. “But,” said he, “when we dis
covered that these popular expressions only
excited new manifestations of contempt and
scorn in, the South—that not a single kind
voice in return was heard, and that Demo
crats were classed as even more hateful
than Republicans, because they had not the
manliness to assert their true feelings, and
that their votes against Mr. Lincoln were
simply party votes to regain power, in order to
conduct. tlip.,T.var otill more Vigorously;.w^lVu
we saw these things, myself and thousands
of other Democrats resolved, that, come
wliaT might come, we never would be found
in any position that was not that of entire; con
fidence in the public authorities, and, at least
for the time being that WC would give a
hearty and honest support to all acts that
would tend to a vigorous prosecution of the
war.” Such testimony shows that, apart.
the mere malignance of the opposition
to the war, distinct from those who rejoice
in "styling themselves. Copperheads, and?
wearing copper medals, the masses of the
Democracy are patriotic and true. This has
been my position from the beginning of otir
troubles. I know that it is the interest of
the treasonable demagogues in the free States,
who will be entirely destroyed if the Union is
saved, to make. these masses believe that every
attach upon them is an attack upon,the whole
body of the Democracy; but I know, also, that
this manoeuvre has at last been disco
vered, and that patriotic Democrats are
everywhere cutting loose from leaders whose
treason is now too flagrant to be disguised.
[ln my letter of yesterday an awkward
error occurs in the following sentence :
“ There is at ieast consistency in one who
was an anti-Mason, and who now condemns
the necessary arrest of suspected traitors
and the seizure of Secession clubs, and the
suppression of oath-bound Golden Circles.”
I wrote, or intended to write, commends,
instead of condemns.!, Occasional.

Washington, April 9,1863.
Jfo Official News from Richmond.—The
Rebel Papers not Hopeful,
Nothing of an official character has been received
up to ten o’clock to-night concerning the attack on
Charleston.
A private telegram from headquarters of the Army
of the Potomac, says the tone of the Richmond
papers of yesterday is not hopeful, and shows that
they consider the surrender of Charleston as impos
sible,-aB the city will be destroyed rather than it
will be permitted to fall into our possession.
Gen. Stahl’s Operations.
Sixty or seventy rebel prisoners have arrived here
from Gen. Stahl’s division. They were captured by:
Gen. Copeland’s cavalry force, who recently made
a reconnoissance to Aldie, Middeburg, and Ropers-
Ville, in Loudoun county, Virginia, but found no
enemy in force there. Small parties of rebels were,
however, discovered, and either dispersed or taken
prisoners.. Only seventeen of them acknowledge
that they had any connection with Capt. Mosby’s
gang. The remainder are bushwhackers and citi
zens. Over a hundred horfles, including some of
those stolen from Gen. Stoughton and staff, were
recovered. Gen. Stahl does not permit his com
mand to remain idle.

Fortress Monroe, April B,— The Richmond
Whiff of the 30th ultimo says, “ When our army re

by persons living on or near its line of march, of the
depredations-committed by the soldiers. And gen
tlemen have been heard to declare that our own
men were worse than the troops of McClellan.
After Fredericksburg was vacated by the Yankees,
the Southern soldiers sent to protect the town
stripped the battered houses of what little remained
,in them, and reduced the already impoverished in
habitants to absolute beggary. The very liberal
subscriptions made to the Fredericksburg sufferers
have not exceeded their pressing wants, and there

_ Post Office Investigation Committee. ;
Mr. ROWLAND, chairman of the select committee
appointed to investigate into alleged frauds in the postal
account of Rostmafttef Bergner for the month of March,
moved that the powers of-the committee be extended to
an examination into the accounts during the piosent
session. ■ • .
Mr. BROWN (Mercer), said he thought that the cohh
should now liave nothing before them but that
which they instructed to do on their appointment,
-n said it Could make but little difference
it the investigation should 1)8 extended
Mr, VINCENT stated that he had been informed that
•the committee had refused to aLLow Mr. 8. to appear
before the commiitee to cross-examine the witnesses
against him. and call witnesses ofliis own ; he therefore
moved to amend by adding, “and that George Bergaer'
be allowed to appear before the committee, either in per--
perron or by counsel, to participate in the examination of
: witnesses.”
Mr. KaINE opposed the amendment of Mr. Vincent,
becauee it was an innovation upon the usual practice.
Mr. LaPORTE favoied the amendment, because in all
cases investigations have lost their force because of the
absence of the accused, and the witues3es of the accused,
in the evidence before the committee. •;
Mr. JOHNSON said he hoped this investigation would
be a fair one, not a one-sided one. It wa; under the
hill of rights that Mr. B. claimed this privilege.
Mr. BARGER was in favor of the Democratic doctrine
of allowing the accused, in all case-, to be heard. He
would vote for the amendment of Mr. Viucent.
Mr ROWLAND opposed the amendment because it
was unusual; he never knew of such a thing; the com
mittee woulo conduct the examination fairly; all “wit
nesses would be examined.
Mr. VINCENT so modified his amendment as to strike
out “or hy counsel. ”
Mr. NEIMAN moved to amend the amendment, by ad
ding “ and that the complainant he allowed the same

Payment of Money in Lien of Service In
the Army,
The House, this afternoou, resumed the considera
tion of the bill, published yesterday, entitled “Au act for
the payment of money by those who, conscientiously,
scruple to bear aims, *’ now on second reading, the first,
second, and third sections having been adopted.
The fourth .section (appropriating the money to the
different counties) was before the House.
Mr. SHANNON, in, a speech, said House
had agreed to wring this money from its viiuims, he'de
manded that the proceeds should go into the’State Trea
sury. This was a matter of conscience that theConsti
tuiion respected. In his county, out of ISO,OOO men but
one took the oath of conscientious scruples against bear
ing arms. He wonld offer an amendment, providing
that this money should be appropriated to building a
hospital, &c. »fof the unfortunate soldiers who have gone
to the battle-field from Pennsylvania. !
Mr. LABAR did not think the Constitution had tanch
to do with the matter; this war had been carrial on
without regard to the Constitution. " j
Mr. TRIMMER, for the benefit of the gentleman, jread
from Article 6tli, of the Constitution of Pennsylvania,
section second. ' ’ ' ,
After some additional discussion, Mr. REX moved the
previous question, and the call was sustained. r
The question then recurred on tbe amendment 0/ Mr.
Benedict—to pay the money into the State Treasury
on which the yeas and nays were, demanded, resulting
in yens 44, nays 49. So theamendment was lost, aad*the
original section, paying the money into the county
treasuries, was adopted—yeas 49. nays 44. ? ?

moved to go into Commutes of the Whole for thenar
rose of amending the first section by striking out)s3o9
as the penalty in lieu .of service, and inserting $2OO.
Not agreed to. " j

Donizetti’s genius shows itself more in brilliancy
than in strength. Bellini reunites and harmonizes

THE CONSPIRATORS OPEN AT FIRST, BUT SECRET
AFTERWARDS.
Members of the Secret Order go to Reading,
Pa., to Rescue the Prisoners, but
Make a Mistake.
If there is any person who has any doubt as to a
secret political organization for the express purpose
of resisting the laws, he may remove it all by read
ing the following evidence elicited yesterday before
Mr. Charles Heazlett, the United States Commis
sioner. The arrest of the parties named below was
known to very few persons outside the law officers
whose services, it was supposed, would be required.
The great mass of people, moving along Chestnut
street and Fifth yesterday, little dreamed that such
proceedings, rb somewhat detailed below, were pro
gression in the United States Commissioner’s office.
It was a wise thing, perhaps, that caution was used
by the authorities to preverit undue excitement.
The prisoners had been in this city from, ttie evening
previous, but as the affair was pruuently kept a pro
found secret from indiscriminating gentlemen of the
press, the great public were no less the wiser, ftftd
there was less likelihood to ripple the stream of jus
tice as it flows in its quiet stillness from , the foun
tain of authority. It was not untilafter two
o’clock, yesterday afternoon, that the public became
aware that something was up, from the fact that
a telegraphic despatch had been received from Read
ing, Pa., that several hundred men, some of them
armed, had reached that place to effect a rescue of
prisoners supposed to be at that place. It also be
ing stated that the" prisoners the crowd were in
search of, to rescue them from the law authorities,
had been, taken to Philadelphia, the rescuers made
a suggestion to come to Philadelphia to rescue them
here. Everything being unsatisfactory in regard to
the movements of the rioters, it was deemed advi
sable to prepare for any emergency that might
arise, no matter what, nor where it came-from.
Chief Ruggles, very quietly, ordered a reserve of
police to reportwforthwith at the Central Station,
and to come in small parties, so as not to awaken
any suspicion. In a very short time squads of
police reported, and not having anything particular
todb, passed their time in examining, certain mus
ics, and going through a drill. The provost
guard also had their drill in the State-houße
yard, and a cavalry corps were trying the met
tle of their horses in the northwestern part of the
city. The Hon. J. Glancy Jones, ex-member of Con
gress, in alluding to the reported riot at Reading,
said last evening at the hearing, that the assemblage
had yielded to wiser counsel, and it was not likely
they would come to Philadelphia, We breathed free
then. It will be seen in the following that it is de
liberately plotted that Abraham Lincoln, the Presi
dent of United States, shall be abducted, and that a
Northwestern Confederacy is contemplated; that the
society boasts of a very great number of members in
the North, the South, the West, and in the armyj
that a deserting soldier was recognized by the signs
a'nd gripß, understood by the members only, and that
five deserters were rescued from the military au
thorities in the State of Indiana. It will also be
seen that Mr. Lyon, a detective of the United States,
and now deputy provoßt marshal at Reading, Penn
sylvania, came very near being struck with a hay
fork when the secret band of conspirators were
probing about the straw in search of spies. Much
other interesting information will also be found in
the following. We might say that before the hearing
closed, quite a Dumber of the most prominent resi
dents of Philadelphia crowded into the Commis
sioner’s room.
We observed one or two of the prisoners making
certain signs—one of which was carelessly placing
the forefinger of the right hand vertically on the
lips, meaning probably to “keep mum,” ’ We have
reason to believe that some one or more in the crowd
in the room recognized the sign thus made.
THE HEARING.
Philip Huber, Augustus F. Illig - , Gabriel Filbert, and
Harrison Oxeneider were arraigned on the charge of
conspiracy.
George A. Coffey, Esq., United States District Attorney,
appeared for the Government.
Hon. J. Glancy Jones, ex-member of Congress, ap
peared as counsel for the last three named defendants.
John F. O’Neill, Esq. , appeared for the first named.
Mr. Hnber is the prime-mover in organizing the al
leged treasonable association. He expected Mr. Jones
would deiend him, but this gentleman declined. After
settling some uninteresting preliminaries the affidavit
was rerdby the counsellor the defence, upon which the
warrant of arrest waSiSf ued. This was made in April
the 6th inst., by William Y. Lyon, United States detec
tive, audit sets forth that there have been organized, in
various parts of Berks county, Pennsylvania, seditious
and treasonable, combinations, lodges, or societies, the
object of which is to create disaffection against the Go
vernment of the United States, to prevent and resist the
executioi of the. United States laws, and particularly the
act of Congress providing for a conscription or draft of
soldiers; the said lodges meetai night-time, pay an initia
tion fee, and are bound together by an oath; said socie
ties have from fifty to eighty and a hundred members
each; that one was organized at the houte of Jacob ZelLr,
near Slouch burg, Pennsylvania, and other places. The
affidavit further sets forth the names of some of the
members of said association, of parties * who have not
been arrested.
THE EVIDENCE.
■William Y. Lyon sworn.
Mr. Jones, counsel for defence, now cautioned the wit
ness to say nothing but what he knows of his own
knowledge.
■Witness; Yes, sir. -
Question by United States District Attorney Coffey. Do
youknow the defendants?.
Answer; v I‘ do ;1 Know'Philip llubcr, hr. Augustus
Illig, Gabriel Filbert, and Harrison Oxeneider; I re
ceived information within the last two months that there
was a man named—(objected to by Mr. O’Neill, who
said, never mind about receiving the information; just
state what you know of your own knowledge.) .
. Witness; Well, then, to suit you better, 1 will say from
information that I received, I set myself to work to find
out whether there was anything in this matter; I
piped.” for it; there were complaints coming to me
every day.
Mr. Jones hero interrupted the witness by saying that
he had understood that Mr. Lyon had had some conver
sation with the defendants, and anything they said to
him, unless voluntarily made by them, caunofc be ad
mitted as evidence.
Mr. O’Neill further said that admissions could not be
received unlessthe conspiracy is first made out. Let us
substantiate this first, and then proceed..
Witness. I came here to tell the truth, and nothing
but the truth; lam a stranger here.
By Mr. Coffey. Tell what you saw and heard.
Witness resumed. On Saturday morning, the 21st of
March, 1563, I received information there was to be a
meeting; I proceeded to-the place where the meeting was
to be held; I went on foot iu Marion township, and con
cealed myself in the barn of Jacob Cellar, under the
straw"*, Mr. Huber told the men who were there; I think
Mr. Filbert was there; Mr. Huber was thereof course;
he told them—
Mx*. O’Neill objects that what Mr. Huber said is not
evidenceuntil the defendants first be conducted in the
charge of conspiracy. When this is done, then any
admission of what Mr. Huber said, may be given in
evidence.
Commissioner Heazlett replied— ‘ ‘Well, we must com
mence this investigation somewhere, and we might as
well commence now. ”
Mr. iJones said, alter the evidence has been heard then
the Commissioner can exercise his own judgment.
With this understanding.the witness made another at
tempt to give in his evidence. He said, there might have
been a hundred men in the barn, altogether; before
they proceeded to business Mr. Hubei' told them to
starch thebarn, to see if there were any spies concealed
in it; I cannot name ihe parties whom he was ad
dressing; he directed them to run a dung-fork
or hay-fork into the straw, to see if there were auy spies
concealed under it; after this was done , he ordered
pickets to be thrown outside the barn: this was, as near
as I can judge, between eight and nine o’clock; the men
went out, then the men inside took the obligation; Mr.
Huber did the talking:, he denounced the war as un
holy and unjust; he said that the society was a million
strong; he stated that it first was organized in the South;
that the society, had signs, passwords, and grips; he
administered the obligation; whether the men swore on
a Bible or not, I cannot say; there were eighty-three
men, to the best of my knowledge, who joined on that oc
casion by taking the obligation; the obligation was given
verbally; he said the men would swear; I don’t know
whether they kissed the Bible or not, as I could not ex
actly see; they all answered yes after the obligation was
spoken to them; he advertises a meeting to be held at a
certain place—a man's house-and after this they go
into a se&'et organization ; the members sign a list and
pay one dollar each, in the first, place; then those who
sign go into secret; thosewho do not sign go away; I
heard him give the obligation.
By Mr. Coffey. Now just think, and be careful, and
tell us what tho obligation is.
Wifusjs Yes sir.
. “Are you in 'favor of the abduct ionlof Abraham Lin
coin? , •
Iheardthis, ü by force, if necessary,”
“ Are you in favor of a Northwestern Confederacy?”
Huber here interrupted the witness by saying; "It's
a lie . ” - -
Commissioner Heazlett told Huber to keep silence.
By Mr. Coffey; Well, sir, go on. Did you hear any
thing else ?
Witness. Yes, sir;. I heard himsay: “ Are you in
favor of resisting the draft or the Conscription act? ”
Here there was some sensation among tbe crowd, and
the windows were opened to letin a little fresh air
, By Mr. Coffey. Well, sir, did they swear to these obli
gations?
Witness. Yes, sir; they answered yes. ■
Quebtion. Can’t you name some of the men who were
there and who thus swore? How about Mr. Illig, Mr.
Filbert, or Mr. Oxeneider.
Witness. I cannot swear positively that any of them
were there; Mr. Filbert and Illig were at the house be
fore the party went into secret session, and f cannot
swear positively that they were in the barn; I am sure
that Ur. Iluber was in the barn; am not mistaken
about bim; he was the only man ihat spoke at the meet
ing in the'kouse; there was more or Jess talking among
those wno composed the meeting; BS3 were collected at
the private meeting; Huber said lie was the treasurer;
he took the money; I have had some talk with him; I
asked him some questions, and told him he might
answer them if he chose; there was no compulsion;
I know the rights of a lmsoaer when.iii custody;
1 asked him what the association was banded together
for—was it to overthrow the Government? He said it
was, and this could be done under the Constitution; ho
said the moriey was raised to fee lawyers if any one of
the members was arrested ; also, to try the constitution
ality of the conscription act, and if this loould not do
ihty vjould\u$e foree, but did not say wbat kind of
force; I believe this is about all I know of the affair; I
am a Government detective, and since the 20th. of March
. have been deputy provost marshal at Reading,
Cross-examined by Mr. O’Neill.—Huber resides near
the Black Horse, in Lancaster county, not far from'the
line of Berks county; the public meeting was called at
the house of Mr. Foust; I can’t say that the noth o ef the
meeting was published; I received my information of the
meetingfiorn Scohchburgrl was not in the house; I
was in sight of it; this was on March 21st—Saturday
Huber made the speech at the house; all the doors were
not shut; I was in disguise; 1 taJkeo with no person; 1
listened against the shutter; I was pretty close; no one
accosted me'; 1 accosted nobody; I was rigged upfoi-tlie
occasion; I was blackened and in disguise-; I never spoke
to Huber until April 7tli; I have-seen hiui sometimes; I
did noL see Him speak; 1 knew his voice at the barn; I
was secreted under tbe straw in the barn; I heard him
speak at a meeting in Moonvillo!
Question. ")Veli, sir, you must be in error, because you
have said yeunever'heard him speaA until the 7th- of
April. I
Witness. You are mistaken-, sir; X said nothing of the
kind; 1 said 1 never spoke to him until the 7tU of April.
Q. Weil; how did you recognize- him by his voioev m
' tli e ba ru, ii) y ou did not see, him while he was speaking
in the house? , - -
A. 1 did know liis voice, and 'hoard him:distinctly..;
Q. “ You'liave pretty big ears."
A. * 4 Tliat’s so. ‘ • ''••• ' „ _
; Tl;e witness was now questioned at great ana some
what tedious length .in respect to the oath taken by the
alleged conspirators. TJio-\vitnt3X‘» had mude a memo
randum of the oath, with lead pencil, in a small book in
which lie bad written the word abdication,upon which
ini>take the learned counsel aliected to be soraewliac
fuunv. The witness said I ;im noi a good speller nor a
good* writer, but Mr. Huber said ffWn.c£io?i.; I made the
memorandum, the witness continued, on Sunday morn
ing after -I- got home; it was their fresh upon my mind:
1 did not make it on Saturday night, simply because I
vaslired; 1 went home in >v -coal train; felt sleepy; I’m.
a poor rmdler; I arrested Huber in the iron fouudry off*
the Flii adoiphia and Reading Rai'road shop at Reading;;
I seaichesL. him to see if ho bad any papers ou hinstS
found one paper that lie had fixed for anothor meeting to
bo held; that paper iu now in the pdiaeHsionof Samuel
<M. Young, commissioner at Beading; when I a.s&<*i him
•'about Ibe orgai izatiem he sdid H was a Constitutional
Union brganizati* n; said the dollar fee waj for the pur
i pot eoftesUng whether the dratt was ccumiiatimial or
not; Mr. Huber, in administering the oath, said you do
swear. etc.
Q. Wa there not an obligation taken also to sustain
the Constitution of tho United States t
A.. Top, uir,
Q- "Why did you not put that down in your memo
randum book ?
A. 1 put di wn whbt I thought was necessary.
Cm*s-exaEnined by Mr Jones —I desire£ to find out
Whether there was anything in the organization.; if
there is anything illegal in it I want the menners tried
honoiably. and honorably convicted if they are guilty:
1 live at Reading; I-.decline to name the party from
whom I derived iny information; it was given to me in
my official capacity, and as an officer £ promised not to
reveal my informer ; l will not tell it i I will tell you
all he said if you desiro to hear it.
Wr Jgnes. No, jnr. nover mind lhat.
Witness. The meetiug at the house w a s public and
promiscuous, f suppose; it was after this the secret
racing wt>s lmld in the barn; understand me, when he
made a speech at the house, then the parties signed,
then those who signed would go into secret meeting
with those who had before signed; when 1 found t ey
inteuded to go to the barn, 1 went taore ahead of them,
and secreted my*olf under the straw. .
; By Mr. Coffey. I am not positive they said at the meet
ing, to resist the draft by force; the obligations were
spoken in English and German, or Pennsylvania Dutch.
The witness was now examined as to the character of
tho defendai ts: So far as he knew of Messrs lllig,. o»xe*
ncider, andF lhert, he considered their noaracter g.ood;
never had any cause to suppose they would dean illegal
act; I certainly wou d net-trust Huber; my impression
isfrom what I Know of these gentlemen; I have no
reason to say that I think they would violate the law.hut
1 would not trust Huber. [Laughter.]'
Frederick Priutz was called to the stand. On being
sworn he said he lived eight miles from- Reading; ho got
acquainted with Huber at the meeting at the hoase of
Mr. Foust; it was on last Friday two weeks, I think;
Hu her called the meeting; ii was called by private means;
the object was to take measures to resist the draft: Mr.

Church Dedication.— Last evening, tlie
new edifice of the First Baptist Church, corner of
Chestnut and Thirty-sixth streets, was ,• dedicated
with appropriate ceremonies. The church was
filled, many having left at an early hour, unable to
obtain standing room. The appearance of the inte
rior, lit up by a very ingenious contrivance from the
ceiling, by means of reflectors covered with glass,
was elegant and tasteful. The edifice iB built of
brown stone, of massive proportions, and as beauti
ful as it 1b substantial. The pewß were filled, and
benches crowded the aisles. Among those present, we
noticed Capt. John P. Levy, John A. Gendell, and
other prominent members of the Berean Baptist
Church of West Philadelphia; Hon. Wm. D. Kelley,
Postmaster Walborn, and other well-known citizens.
The dedicatory services opened with prayer by Rev.
James Cooper, and the sermon was preached by
Rev. Dr. George B. Ide—an eloquent and instructive
discourse, in which the influences of the sanctuary
as an agent for the moral and intellectual develop
ment of man were happily, discussed. The prayer
oi| dedication was delivered by the pastor, Rev. J.
H. Castle, and, after singing, another address, by
Rev. Warren Randolph, delivered. Besides
the reverend gentlemen mentioned, there were in
the pulpit Rev. Messrs. Catheart, J. Hyatt Smih,
Simmons, and Wilson. The history of the Bap
tist denomination of West Philadelphia is an
interesting one. There are now two churches
in active operation. .The first was organized in.
1844, with Rev. E. M. Levy, how of Newark, N[. J.,
as pastor. At the commencement its members num
bered about 30, but under the excellent management
of the pastor, who remained with his charge during
fourteen years, it attained a membership of about
400. Soon a new impulse was given to the religious
feeling ot the community, which manifested itself in
the erection of the Berean Baptist Church, a beauti
ful edifice a few squares west of this. The Bereau
was dedicated first, and a spirit of emulation respect
ing church architecture then sprang up. After it
had been built, Captain Levy and other members
interested themselves in the building of the Mariners’
Baptist Bethel, near the navy yard. West Philadel
phia may well feel proud of its churches,
Anti-Slavery An kiversaey. —The
twenty-ninth, anniversary of ..the Female Anti-
Slavery Society took place yesterday afternoon at
the Assembly Building. The secretary of the asso
ciation read the report, in which reference is thus
made to the emancipation proclamation: Of the
four millions of slaves, to whose deliverance our
life-long labors were pledged, more than three mil
lions were, on the morning of January 2, 1863, de
clared, by the highest law of the land, thenceforward
and forever free. It is a pleasant taßk to trace
the tokens of our nation’s progress ; during the past
year. The report enlarged upon the enactments of
Congress in reference to the extension of slavery.
On the 25th of February, 1862, the House of Repre
sentatives passed a bill forbidding any person
connected with the array or navy, on penalty
ol dismission' from . the service, to aid s in the
return of fugitive slaves'to their-masters. Speak
ing of the abolition of slavery in the District
ol Columbia, in the language of the report, it was
styled the first ripe sheaf of the. full harvest into
which the. Abolitionists, toiling in the patience of
hope for thirty years, had looked steadily forward
with soul-inspiring faith.. The bill abolishing slavery
in the District of Columbia was speedily followed
by the enactments prohibiting forever the existence
of slavery in the Territories of the United States,
and these great deeds, done for freedom, were not
the only evidences furnished by Congress of grow
ing love of liberty in the popular heart. On the
9th. of May, 1862, • General Hunter uttered the
glorious words declaring the slaves of Georgia and
South Carolina free.. General Butler won the ad
miration of his countrymen by issuing his proclama
tion calling on the free colored citizens of Louisiana
to take up arms in the cause of the Government of
the United States. Another act of justice to along
injured race was the opinion of the Attorney Gene
ral of the United States, declaring that free colored
men within the precincts of the United States were
citizens of the United States, and entitled to all the
privileges and immunities of citizens. The duty oF
the Abolitionists in this hour of the nation’s peril
is plain and clear. The report closed as follows:
“ To the work which remains for us to do we joyfully
address ourselves, devoutly thankful for all that has
been attained, and have faith that the hour of final
victory is at hand, when the Abolitionist may put off
his armor and sing, ‘Jehovah hath triumphed 5 His
people are free. 5 ” Addresses were then made by J.
Miller McKim, Esq., Lucretia Mott, Mias Grow,
and Josiah Bond. After which the meeting ad
journed.
Fatal Railroad Accident.—Yester

Edward. Everett*
Boston, April 9.— I The Hon. Edward Everett de
livered a magnificent oration before the Union
League, recently established, of which he is Presi
dent, this evening, in Tremont Temple. He re
viewed the war, showing the futility of the reasons
given for secession.
He proved that the failure of the Crittenden Com
promise was intentionally caused by the action of
the Senators from the Cotton States, and affirmed
that its passage would not have prevented the re
bellion. He argued against all peace proposi
tions, declaring, in powerful language, that there is
no alternative but to subdue the rebellion by force
of arms, and exhorted every citizen, whether , tech
nically counting himself upon the Bide of the Ad
ministration or the Opposition, to do everything in
his power to support the', measures of the Govern
ment.
The oration was enthusiastically applauded
Gov. Andrew was among the distinguished gen
tlemen present.

The New York Evening Post of to-day says:
The bill prohibiting the banks from lending on gold
passed the Senate at Albany this morning.
To account for the quietude of thestock market during
the past week or two is found by Wall street to be a diffi
cult task. Some persons attribute the want of animation
to the decline of gold, but the constantand capricious
fluciuations in gold being seldom represented by any
responsive fluctuations in stocks, thisposition isscarcely
tenable
Another opinion is, that the attention of investors is so
much engrossed at, present by live-tv enties and other
Government securities that the country orders have been
much curtailed, and in the stock market some degree ol
diminished demand lias been the natural consequence.
A third view is that the absorbing suspense in the
public mind, relative to anticipated movements at
Charleston, Vicksburg, and elsewhere, is unfavorable
to active speculation. Each of these opinions may, per
haps, in part account for a state of things which is not to
be regretted in the present condition of the currency, but
is, on the other hand, one of the most favorable and en
couraging symptoms.
The n arket opened quiet but steady. An improved
feeling was developed as business advanced, and
close was decidedly stronger. - ■ *

quiet, although buyers are engaged in looking over
stocks and making occasional purchases. There is a iirni

as signs oi increased scarcity of stock and workmen be

that if the . expected di aft lsNjrdered here our tanuers

the part of bus ers tha* there must be a material decline,
which lias yet in. do. nespcet been realized. The State
trade is further delayed on account of bad travelling and,

to purchase until in actual want. Some few of bur ma

Rev. JE. TV. Hatter os the City Of Wash
ington and its Public Hen.
The third lecture of the Beries now in progress
under the auspices of the Lutheran Board of Publi
cation was delivered at Musical Fund Hall last eve
ning,by the Rev, E, W. Hutter, (pastor of St. Mat
thew’s Church, New street, below Fourth,) in the
presence of a large and appreciative audience. Mr.
Hutter’s theme was “ The City of Washington and
its Public Men,’ 1 and his treatment of it was scho
larly, skilful, and intensely interesting. The lecture
was received with frequent and enthusiastic ap
plause.
At a/ew minutes after 8 o’clock, the lecturer, ac
companied by a number of clergymen, appeared upon
the platform, immediately after which the Rev. Dr.
Seiss stepped forward, and stated that before prol
ceeding with the business of the evening he would
announce that the next lecture of the course would
be delivered in the same hall, on next Thursday eve
ning, by the Rev. Mr. Krotel;
The lecturer commenced by saying that the point to
which, in allagef- and all countries,-the public mind is
most earnestly directed, was the.r seat of Government.
In some lands, indeed, the capital was the country,and.
the country it-elf was only great and prosperous as
afiairs at the capital were prosperous or adverse. Franco
was referred to as an illustration. Paris was France,
and without Paris Prance would scarcaly be. Under our
adnmablepolUicalsystem, combining so happily with
the Central Power limited and well-adjusted State Go
vernments, we would still have a rallying point, were
the central seat of power to be swallowed up by an earth
quake. The city of Washington was described as. never
theless, a grand focal-point of refinement, intelligence,
and power, radiating over the land and the world. Not
over twenty years ago, a foreigner, who had based all
his ideas and expectations on what he had seen abroad,
expressed ins disappointment with Washington as a
place. He said it lacked two essential elements of a
great city, viz: Bouses and •people. But, then, the
Federal city was yet in her teeas. Despite her most un
promising surroundings, touched by the mtgiewand of
American energy and enterprise, she had grown into a
city of no small magnitude. The national edifices were
described as equal to those of the older capitals on the
other side of the Atlantic, and tourists ani curiosity
mongers were exhorted, by no means, to pass by Wash
ington. • .
; Society at the Federal capital was next described a?
in many resrects a strange conglomerate, presenting
much to attract, but abo much to re.oel —gaudy glitter,
combined with splendid misery. That form of society
the speaker held to be the best which* had for its basis
utility , summoning life’s reciprocal sympathies into
action, ennobling the character and purifying the lite.
’lhat was most pernicious which was fouededbn an un
due estimation of adventitious distinctions. Judged by .
this standard, permanent residence at the national
capital was not desirable. The reason for this might be
traced to the fluctuating character of the population.
Men there ebbed and flowed as the sands of the *ea, and.
this prevented abiding friendships. The Code Etiquette
was here explained, and some curious arrangements,
stated. Much of the visiting there was done exclusively
by the card system, and it was not unusual for families
to rejoice iu delightful social felicity for years who had
never even seen each other in the flesh, their friendship
having nn other ba>b than sundry pieces of glazed paste
board! David. Groket*Y the eccentric Tennessean, when
he first took in Congress, iqvited to dine

there either lived off or for the Government, and with
out the Government scarcely anything was done that is
done. Uncle Sam had a very deep pocket, and Briareus
bad bis thousand bands in it. He supplied the city with
gas, and fuel, and water. <lug the culverts, paved the
streets, and. swept the chimnevs, and, if he were to re
move, the city would inevitably collapse.
A humorous description was next given of the House
of Representatives in tession, as it strikes the eye of a
stranger. One man was talking, and all the rest were
buzzing about, laughing and coughing, cracking jokes
and nuts, &c. Only one speech in twenty was listened
to;the rest were all designed for “ Buncombe.' l The
scene, however, be said, was no worse than it is said to
he in the British House of Commons, where loquacious
lords were summarily arrested by all sorts of discordant
and disagreeable noises. The * * previous question ” was
preferred as a much more dignified resort, and strictly
parliamentary.
r lhe lecturer next graphically depicted a President’s
levee—l he country itself in miniature—the United States
abridged. These periodical gatherings at the White
House were compared to a caravansera of opinion, cus
tom. and habit; a sort of Joseph’s coat, with an endless
variety of colors. This was our Court —an odd Court, it
was true, over which no London Mil Liner or Parisian
1 eruguier wae monarch, but where everyone dressed
and did as he or she pleased—very different, no doubt,
irom St. Clpud.or St. James. Whatever our trans
atlantic rivals might think of us, he would not exchange
ovr Court for the best of theirs.
The lecturer next described a Presidential inaugura
tion, which, lihe Leap-year, comes only quadrennially.
Thet, especially if the event involved a change in po
parties, there succeeded among the '’‘/ns'’ and
a terrible scramble for the spoils.. The noor
President was literally bored to death, and it required
rare powers of physical endurance to sarvivethe ordeal.
Harrison and Taylor both sank under it A secret was
here disclosed, viz.: that not one in five hundred of the
masses of recommendations brought by the piace-seekers
was ever read. Even the “red tape” was seldom re
moved. What became of them? Could any one answer
what became ol all the pins and needle?? These masses
of letters were stowed away in lofts and lumber-rooms,
cellars and vaults, when they were finally devoured by
moih and mice, and kindred lovers of antiquities.
whether ofwool orpa-per. was de.-cribed
as the bane of the Republic. Moses himself, the great
israeiitish lawgiver, in the execution of bis wonderful
mismoD, had this almost insuperable difficulty to con
tend with—the hungering of his rebellious hosts for the
flesh - cots 0/ Egypt
Ind ividual character was next portrayed. The lectu
rer said it was a great injustice to denounce all public
men as unworthy and corrupt. That many were of this
sort, it were useless to deny. But there were very
many that had not ‘ ‘ bowed the knee to Baal men of
the sternest virtue and most unflinching patriotism, who
would not flatter Neptune for his trident, uor .Tove for
his power to thunder. In the individualization of
men he experienced a difficulty where to begin and
where to end. Here he was greatly assisted by an inci
dent that had come to his knowledge. A distioo-uish-d
naturaiized Frenchman, who was an “aid” in the
batt.e of hew Orleans, Major Augustus Dvezac, was
once announced in the city of New York to deliver a
iecturo oc Temperance. One friend wagered with an
°t“®r that the mutant Major would not utter five sentences
without introducing the name.of General Jackson, of
whom he was an enthusiastic admirer. He commenced
thus: ‘Whenmyoldand valued friend, General Jack
son, fought the battle of New Orleans, he placed terape
rance men m the foreground. ” Let us begin where the
Major old. We might go further and fare worse.
The character of the ‘ ‘Man of the Iron Will ” was next
delineated, with a vividness and power that almost
raised the audience to their feet, in their enthusiastic
applanse. Jackson, he said, was a sort of political
Meiehizedek, outside the Aaronic order of presidential
succession. _ His crowning virtue was hcnieitii: his
ruling passion, patriotism. His was a master-spirit, a
moral phenomenon in the world. Amos Kendall was
once asked, whether it was true, what his enemies as
serted, that h ejruled Jackson. He answered in the af
nimative. He was asked how hedidit. He naively
replied, In the same way that good- natured husbands
are said to go vern their wives—iy letting him hose his
mon way. • All men are now united in doing justice to
the fame of this wonderful man, as if they were dis
charging, with usurious interest, a post-orbit bond. The
religious character of Gen. Jackson was vindicated. He
was a firm believer —a warm friend of ministers —and
died an humble and penitent Christian. His use of the
exp j£ tITe >.By Jhe Eternal! ” was explained, as notin
conflict with his reverence for sacred things. He ased
it only oil occasions when great issues were at stake, not
as a habit, and when he employed it he did not “take
the name of The Lord in vain,” for he meant what he
said. After his retirement from the Presidency, Gen. J.
was heard to say, that he had but two regrets connected
with, his administration. One was, his failure to urge
on Congress the erection of a gigantic Iron National
-Dr?«pe across the Potomac, at Washington, to serve as a
connecting-link between the North and the South; the
other was, that, he had not conferred on John 0 Cal
houn the promotion awarded to a certain Prime Minister
under the reign of King Ahasuerus. If, said the iectu
rer,Cen. Jackson knew that rebel hands were seeking to
place a bastard flag over his grave at the Hermitage, and
s "ch a thing were possible,he would bursc'the cerements
ofthetdfcnb, and come forth and annihilate-the traitors
engaged in it.
The lecturer next commented on the character of John
Randolph of Roanoke—not a fixed star in’the national
hemisphere, but a wandering comet, .whose track no eye
could follow- He it was that conferred on Washington
the sobriquet ot ‘The City of Magnificent- Distances:”
was author.also.of the phrase “ Northern Doughfaces.”
most public men, he ever appeared to delight in
being m the minority. Once he was asleep in his seat
when the clerk was calling the vote on an important
question. On being aroused, without knowing the
queshon. ho leaped to his feet,.and shouted “A/>,” con
vulsing the. House with laughter. Strangest of all, Vir
ginian though he was, and slaveholder, he was an
avowed abolitionist, although with his face sternly set
against outside interference- The.religious character of
Randolph had been strongly marked.
At this point the lecturer drew an interestingparallel
between Webster, Clay, Calhoun.and’Bentou, cotempora
ries in the Senate. Webster was the superior of them alLiu
intfUeci— their inferior by manyoddsin will. Thecharm
oi Clays oratory consisted in hismusical voice, which he
had seriously impaired before his retirement by exces
sive snuiF-taking. Clay, he said,-was of a genial tem
perament, a man of the people,- who deemed it no conde
scension to walk arm-in-arm through the Avenue with.
.*$7 respectable mud-sill.” Calhoun was a sort of po
litical photon, who was forever grasping at the reins of
the chariot of the sun. to set the world on fire. Benton
was a hook-worm, of untiring industry aud amazing
powers of application. .He was fond of taking long
walks alone, and of talking to himself. When sitting
in church he would evince approval, or dissent from the
sentiments of the minister, either by nodding-his head
or shaking *t, a system of “responses ” scarcely to be
found in any of the liturgies. Benton was a great ego
tist, a’fault, bnt a tender parent andhus
hand. His dislike ofCalhonn was bitter in the extreme,
and well did Calhoun know it. He fearedßenton, too,
and had the latter ever given him a pretext, he would
certainly have “ challenged ” him, and, to have de->
clmed, would have ruined him with the “chivalry ■*
w el>st*r, beneath his heavy gravity, carried a fund of
the richest humor. His finances, alas! were always in.
a state of nature) and hence, among all the high offices
he so honorably filled, nobody had ever dreamed of him
for secretary oi the Treasui'y .
Mr. Van Bmen was called', in derisiony "The Little
Magician. ” Bis was a singularly imperturbable spirit.
He sa t under the bitterest jibes and jeers as composedly •
asifhehad been a sculptured image. Clay once ad
dressed to him, when the presiding officer of the Senate,
an appeal so pathetic thflt it drew tears from the eyes of
all tfcatbeard it. In the midst of this scene the senate
adjourned, when Van Buren approached him, saying:
Mr. Clay, a pinch of your snuff, if you please
John Quincy Adams, the Old Man Eloquent, repeated
the Lord’s Prayer, and the Cradle-Stanzas of Watts,
,r^, oinr JJ a y me down to sleep, ” to the end of his days.
Millard Fillmore was characterized as the Model Presi
dent,, whose confidence to possess was itself a high
honor. Itwaslie that sent our distinguished townsman,
' Bon. Joseph R. Ingeisoll. to the first court of Europe.
Brief references were made to James K. Polk, - Stephen
A. Douglas, General Scott, Edward Everett, Lewis
Cass, George Bancroft, and others.
The lecturer said, in conclusion, that the thought
uppermost in his mind, during the preparation and de
livery of the lecture, had been thatwbilsi men live here
on earth hut for a day, the State lives for ages. Even of
. the noble of earth : tis true, that— -
“Like bubbles, on the sea of matter borne.
They rise, they break, and to that ee& return. ”
But nationalslife .is designed to be perpetual What
the eventful future had in store for- the Federal mefcro
polis, it might seem presumptuous in the most sagacious
mind to attenipt to predict. It might grow aud expand,
•through it the ploughshare of destruction might be
driven. Long, long might it continue to be thenapital
of our nation! But >whatever might be its fate, the
unity and integrity of the nation itself could never,
never be surrendered In no doubtful cause was the
•sword unshea tied by the brave soldiery of the Union. .
L b ?y h i TC bra.nch. had been carried until it was withered
in our hands. The speaker lield tlie permanent dissolu
tion of the Union,impossible, for m tbe very nature of
ihmgs, ltwas amoral, physical, and commercial-neces
sity* no more to be disintegrated, than the great element
of nature is to be decomposed, that holds together tbe
suns and'systems of the universe. The Jews of old had
one word that was unpronounceable. So should we
have. That was the hated word dissolution.
