FRIDAY, JULY 26, 1861. _.at vrilb 'ra n d; bantstb int Rest, And " banner straantind star *ll , 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."

The public desire to know when it was commenced—how much has it cost—how much more ell' be_ required to complete it-- what time may, be positively •named for its compietion_— an d what use it will be when finished and afloat ? The recent experiments made by order of the British Admiralty have created the great eat and gravest doubts of the power of man ead steamers; o retrial, projectiles from Arm strong guns, have made it a question whether Napotroa's La Glare, - and VlOTOeree War ror, J3luclC , Peinte, Defiance, and. Binfarance, are as impregnable as the) first obtained credit tor. It is quite true that the Armstrong pine 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 old tt wooden walla" is undoubtedly Immense, 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 and impregnability. Destroy these qualities, and the Armstrong guns are reported (and proved) capable of doing it, - and some new and better description of floating-batteries must be rooked tor. Before another rivet is clenched in the STEVENS' steam battery, the force of a taw Armstrong guns should be directed against it, to ascertain whether it hi as resistal)le as has been reported.

At all events, this very tedious and mysterious production has been long enough on hands. Is It to remain boxed op, out of sight, tor a dozen years more ? 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.

Bare the retiring forces ware met by the Eleventh, Seventeenth, and - Strait Vir ginia R.tgtments, and waited, expecting a fight at 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 enemy, in their several advances, behav d at Brat with great spirit. quickly rallying and closing 'tip their mowed columns, but finally broke and gave way under the murderous execution of our tutukstry and artillery.

Mansfield having issued an order directing the straggling members of each regiment-to repair at once to certain points of rettitsvous, under pain of arrest. The city; however, is in a state of bustle and military preparation. Regiments are en camped In all parts of it, battalions and com panies are constantly patrolling the &Venue, many of them blyonaokivg on the highways and side walks; and cocking their ration* over large fires built in the broad end open streets. What the effect of the order will be I do not know; for there are hundreds of stragglers still patrolling the streets sight-seeing in the capital, lounging around the public , squares, and listening to the evening mule in the grounds of the White House 001 Einstein's regiment has gone down to Alexan dria, while-the regiment of Col.

These are the only Pennsylvania regiments now in Washington, although we are in hourly ex peo•a'lon of the arrival of the MOM regiments raised by the Legislature of the state 'Cider the three loai bill. It is impoesible ti resist the eonvietlon that wo live here in a community hostile to the Union. There are many sappretsed and open manifests lions of disloyalty to the Goverruninot, on the part of those who live immediately second Its capital. In many eases, too, those who live on its bounty, and co ttony positions of honor and trust, are covertly sea long in their efforts to paralyze the hands of those in authority, by fostering an inimieat publio , senti ment. This feeling is manifested in various ways Washington is not the pithe'to talk treason openly, for the day of connivance has passed away. But the seoret exultation over our reverses, and the sorrow at our success, the temper of the COn• grassional galleries, the applause which follorl, Mr. Breokinridge and Mr. Man:lett, and the iodiffe nonce which greets Mr. Johnron or Mr. Carlisle, the cold civility of eitizents to our troops, and the spirit of patient endttrance that they exhibit,, all show that in heart a large minority of our people are no friends to the :Union, or the rulers of the Union. • 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.

The Taxi magnanimity and indulgence. of our Government embolden, the enabatarlas of this conspiracy to plot treason and commit treaohery eider the walls of the eapttel. Thus we found, on 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. tease it objects to, publishing its secret atehivel in the eelucons of a daily newspaper. Their accounts of the recent battle were in keeping with the usual style of their , despatches.: Exaggerated and un true, they exhibited many evidences of fright, sowardice, and braggadocio, and either annuar4 or disgusted the people of Washington.
