only testimony of any account was that given by
Mr. Groh, which we copy In full from The Age of

THE TESTIMONY OF MIOHA.EL GROH
Michael Groh, affirmed-1 live in Marion town
ship. Berks county ; I was at a meeting at Sel
lers where Huber made a speech ; I prefer tes
tifying in German; I will tell all I know of it;
he came, and I, with two others, called him out ;
we questioned him ; I cannot say what the others
asked him ; I know what was said to me; I asked
him if the other party could join; be said there
was but one party; he said, too, they must have
to negro on their backs; I wanted to further
question him; he went into the house and com
menced hie speech ; he then said it was a Demo
cratic meeting in support of the Union, and the
old Constitution, the thirty-four States, and the
Territories as they were; he said the emancipa
tion, confiscation and conscription acts were un
constitutional the way they were carried, and
they could not support them ; he said many
things I cannot remember; he opposed Lincoln
and his Cabinet, and said they were Abolitionists;
and he said the object of the meeting was to put
down Secession and Abolition without arms ; he
abused Abe Lincoln and his Cabinet as much as
be could; he said Jeff Davis and Lincoln would
never settle it ; the common people would have
to settle it; the object the meeting was to carry
out was to settle the war, because there were
enough men already killed ; be told us where the
negro originated; Almighty God had put a curse
on the negro's head, and that Abraham Lincoln
wanted to put himself above God to remove the
curse, and it was more power than the President
had; be used insulting words against the Gov
ernment names anti money were received; the
secret meeting was in the barn ; I was present ;
I will tell what occurred, if you will take the re
sponsibility; I know the Government cannot
harm me; I am no longer with the society; I do
not think I should tell the oath and what occur
red; I do not know if Huber was sworn as a
member of the society to make speeches; it was
told us, if any one is here now who was not sat
isfied with what was going on inside, he could
have the money back and his name drawn off;
if he publishes any of the secrets of the society,
be has to look out for himself; I was spoken to
yesterday, just before leaving Stouebsburg, by
lienry Peifer, jr. ; he said, Michael, I would not
like to be in your place in Phila. ; he (mid, you
knew there are rowdies, and you will be in dan
ger of your life; I told him I would support the
Union and Constitution in Philadelphia and at
home; if there is anybody in the house against
me, I want them to come up ; there are some of
ray neighbors here; I don't know the half that
was said in the tom; the first done, they were
arranged in the barn room; I did not see any
body outside as I came into the barn; but I had
an umbrella, and one said: " Michael, I want
that umbrella ;" "Why do you want it," I asked ;
he said, ••I have to be outside;" I think the
man's name was Brown ; when we went in I was
the second last man; eighty-three members were
inside ; I do not know which of these had been
members before; _Huber presided over the meet
ing in the barn ; I can not remember the oath ;
it was in Pennsylvania German; it will be of no
use to you; if Huber says I shall tell it, I will;
we took the oath with uplifted bands ; ifuber
administered it; nobody repeated it after him;
when he said the words, we said yes. I know if
I tell this I am in danger, I and my property;
have told you what Huber said about telling, "If
anybody exposes this he would have to look out
for himself."
Mr. Coffey—Yon are bound to answer.
The Commissioner told the witness he was
bound to AMMO` the question, unless it would
criminate himself.
Witness—l have, then, no other way than to
say what I know. I cannot give the oath in full;
as much as I know is: You swear you will op
pose the Emancipation act, the Confiscation act,
and the Conscription act." This is the nearest I
can remember. Then he said, "So help you
God;" and we should keep secret what be told
us under the obligation. Any secret society has
signs and passwords, but I do not know more
than two or three, as near as I can recollect.
When you meet a member coming toward you,
you give a sign. (The witness showed a sign by
stroking his forefinger down from the height of
his eye to the seam of his pants.) Huber said
they had the same societies in the army. That
he said in public, not in the secret society.
Another sign was raising the hat three times
from the head, so that if the armies met each
other they would not fight; the sign belonged to
the society. He said that the society is in the
Union army and the rebel army, and if they
knew each other by that sign they would not
fight. He gave some more signs. I do not know
them any more. I only know two of the pass
words, and I do not know whether the first of
them is right or not ; they are " 0." and
" R. D. ;" if you met a member of the order you
said " 11. 0.," and he answered "B. D. ;" then
you knew he was a member; I can't remember
what "H. 0." stood for; "R. 1)." is pronounced
Richmond; I do not perfectly recollect other
words ; Huber gave us a song which I can't re
member; it was about the nigger and Lincoln;
I do not remember anything else ; it was nearly
twelve o'clock when I got home ; I live nearly a
mile across the lots ; the meeting in the barn bad
been commenced at about nine o'clock, and it
continued about an hour and a half; he talked
with the others, and the signs and pass-words
were told to every member, and they knew them,
and it took a great deal of time; all he said
about money to be Caleated, was in the public
meeting; nothing was said of it in the private
meeting, that I can remember; Huber said, if
they should be drafted and the men came around
to serve the notices upon them, they should re
fuse to accept tit• notices ; and they should load
their guns with coarse salt or fine shot ; and
they should themselves in the fences and
shoot them in the legs, but to be careful not to
kill any person; that that was the way that had
been done in ilreeknock township, Lancaster
county, in the other draft; he said by no means
to hurt any person ; more that he said, I cannot
remember; Huber, Dr. Illig and Gabe Filbert
were there; I cannot remember seeing Oxenreid
er, and I do not know Mutter' and Seidel; I
cannot remember John L. Fisher's being there;
in the secret meeting, Dr_ Illig did nothing that
I know; ha was Secretary at the outsidei meet
ing ; be took the money, and Huber wrote down
the names.
Cross-examined by Mr. John R
I only attended the eeeret meeting once
took the oath to keep the secrets, and never told
them before to any body; nobody threatened me;
I hesitated because I thought there was some
danger to me and to my property ; I feared dan
ger to myself and my property; I may have
feared danger to my property, but I am not pre
pared to say I felt bodily fear ; I have personal
property ; the barn and house where 1 live do
not belong to me ; they may be burned down, I
do not know what may happen ; I have not now
fear of danger ; was told by Peifer what I be
fore said he said ; he would not be understood
he knew somebody would do it, or that he knew
any person that would do me an injury ; he said
you know there are rowdies; I had a fear of
rowdies; I did not know from whom; I under
stood Mr. O'Neill to ask me if I hail fear person
ally or for my property ; at home I was afraid,
but I have not here; 1 have no fear at present,
but only at my home; I have now no fear, DOW
that I know the law I never up to this lime have
spoken of what occurred; I only spoke of the
open meeting, nothing of what occorrid in the
secret meeting; I went to the society again to
have my name stricken of• in Mr. Iluber's
speech, the abject of the meeting w as " ed
to be, to support the Union and the Constitution;
it was also in the oath; the oath was the first.
thing; the first thing in the oath taken in the
barn was "that we would support the Constitu
tion and the Union ;" Iluber said, we should put
loads in our old guns—in a laughing manner ;
whether it was meant as a joke I cannot tell: it
was the intention of the society to oppose force
and bloodshed; we were counselled to hurt no
body; the object of collecting money was for the
purpose of liolding public meetings before the
fall election; so Huber told us: something was
said about having bands of music, but I cannot
remember what it was ; I never knew Huber un
til I saw him at the meeting ; I spoke to him at
the meeting before he commenced making hie
speech. The witness identified Huber. Dr. Illig
did nothing until the names were taken down :
man wanted to take the money, and Huber said
that Dr. Illig knows the money best, let Dr. Illig
take the money, he knows the money ; 1 cannot
Say Who gat the money a/M.{4,Mb.
Re-examined—Huber only once said anything
about shooting the draft officers with guns. It
was in the course of the instructions. Huber
was in the middle of the floor; we were around
him.
To Mr. Hazlett—br. hug was in the barn.
To ilfr. Coffey—The first thing done in the barn
was standing around him, two deep, and we were
sworn; that is as near as I can remember. Ido
not know if Dr. lllig was a new member or an old
member. None were inside the barn except the
members. I never talked about it with I.lllg es
Oxenreider.
To Air. J. Glancy Tones—l did not have any
communication with Mr. Richards, nor did I give
him the signs and gripe ; I cannot tell where he
got them ; as much as I know, he was not a mem
ber; he must have got them from somebody who
left the secret out ; I do not know who told him.
To ;Ur. Richards—When Iluher spoke of our
using guns, he first said not to kill them ; after
word, he said we should take care to hurt nobody;
by that be meant serious injury.
Mr. Coffey then asked for a continuance of the
hearing, for the purpose of getting other testi—
mony beforo the Commissioner, to show that
forcible resistance was intended.
. . - • • - . • -
Mr. O'iNeill hoped the hearing would con
clude to-day, as had been the understanding.
That Mr. Coffey had sufficient preparation. He
thought it was a mere farce to proceed further.
Mr. Coffey—ls this a farce, a secret society in
existence to resist the Government end its laws?
Mr. O'Neill—lL is s question if their note were
unconstitutional or not..
Mr. Itaztett—l desire that the whole thing
should be decided at one time.
Mr. Coffey—l have more evidence to offer.
Mr. Ea./lett—They ore charged for the joint
Mr. Tones—l desire they should be held to-
gether.
Mr. Coffey—ln regard to taking their own re
eognizaticeo, a false issue has been attempted to
be raised in this case. It is notorious to all of
us that there were demonstrations as if force
was going to be used, and an attempt has been
made to give the thing a party aspect. These
proceedings have been canvassed in a political
convention there are hO M 0.90119 that teen not
good in themselves should go on light bail; I be
lieve the society is pernicious and wrong on se
count of what, it conspires to do.
Mr. Jones—l attended, as a participant, the
meeting spoken of; it was not intended to hen
any reference whatever to the proceedings before
this commission. It was an effort on the part of
the people of Berks county to refute the calumny
that they were conspirators. I hope the District
Attorney will be satisfied there is U 9 intention
whatever of interfering with the Government,
much less interfering by force. lam satisfied it
never entered the brain of any man. These
meetings seem to have had more of a pecuniary
object; some one wished to make a dollar a bead.
I am satisfied not a man in Berke county ever
contemplated, for a single moment, any resist
ance to the Government. They have, perhaps, a
want of faith in the means used for the salvation
of the Union. They intend to submit to laws
they deem unconstitutional, rather than be corn
pelted to live hi anarchy. I thliik the District
Attorney will be satisfied the society wishes to
organize for the purpose of preparing for con
tiugencies. In the secret meeting the members
were enjoined to assist the Government of the
United States. We could, if this were not au
ex parte proceeding, give evidence that would
abundantly satisfy all there was no conspiracy
intended against the Government.
Mr. O'Neill thought Mr. Haber had been more
than panicked a he was a prisoner and in his
absence his property has been levied on by the
Sheriff. Huber's patriotism was beyond a doubt;
he had said he would rather be hung than do any
act against the Government.
The accused were allowed to enter into recogni
zance for each other, and Huber was held sepa
rately, for a further hearing on the second of
June next.
WAR NEWS!
THE BATTLE ON THE RAPPAHANNOCK
DESIMAILTE rzeivitzNa.
Retreat of General Hooker's Army
Re Recrosses the Rappahannock at 'Gni
ted States and Bank's Ford.
Our Loss in Stilled and Wounded from
10 1 000 to 12,000.
The Rebel Loss Estimated at 20,000
The movement which resulted in the battles
of Saturday and Sunday last, began on Monday,
April 27th. General Hooker had determined to
force General Lee out of his strong defenses at
Frederieksburg, by getting to MS flank and rear
and being aware that all the fords of the Rappa
hannock were strongly guarded by the Rebels,
he was obliged to resort to strategy to cover his
point of crossing. With a view to this he sent
three of his corps down to the point, two miles
below the city, where General Franklin crossed
in December last. But two divisions, however,
actually crossed the river ; but the whole of the
three corps were skillfully marched along the
slope of the hills in sight of the enemy, and a
portion of them being left in posillett, the great
er part were marched back through a ravine.
These were again paraded in sight of the enemy,
and so kept marching round and round until
they assumed the proportions of an army of a
hundred thousand
In this way Lee was outwitted, and be massed
his forces to the left cf our position to meet the
supposed advance in that direction. Meanwhile,
General Hooker had despatched three other corps
to Kelly's Ford, twenty seven miles above, where
the Rebel guards, deprived of their supports,
were easily driven in. All these corps were
then deflected to the left to bring them back
towards Fredericksburg, and by Thursday night
were in position on an angular line extending
right and left from Chaucehurville, which is a
cross roads twelve miles west of Fredericksburg.
Ou Thursday they were joined by Couch's Corps,
which bad crossed lower down. Thus was ac—
complished a march of thirty six miles, with
trains and artillery, over u route traversed by
two rivers, the result placing seventy five thou—
sand men in the rear of the Fredericksburg for
tifications.
. .
At some period of this brilliant movement, it
does not appear when, General Sickles' Corps
was also withdrawn from the (rent of Fredericks
burg, and massed with the others at Chancellor.
vile, leaving Sedgwiok's alone to hold the enemy
in check at the former point.
Lee was completely surprised, and when he
woke up fully to the situation on Thursday, he
discovered that the adversary be was lying in
wait for to the east of Fredericksburg was in po
sition on his flank and rear twelve miles to the
weal. Our line there was formed in this wise:—
Howard's Corps had the extreme right to the
southwest of Chaneellorville, then caret Sieklete,
then Slocum's, then Couch's, then Meade's ;
Humphrey's Division of this last corps holding
the extreme left on the Rappahannock, between
flanks' Ford and the United States Ford. While
these dispositions were being made, General
Stoneman had been sent with his cavalry to de
stroy the railroad bridges over the North and
South Anna rivers,, about twenty miles this side
of Richmond.
Threatened by such skillful and formidable
combinations, Genera Lee was of course obliged
to bestir himself with the utmost energy. fie
was compelled tn come out and tight. Massing
iris troops for a desperate onset, ne commenced
his attack on as,i urday by hurling full forty
thousand men, led by 3,loksou and hill, upon
Howard's Corps, on our extreme right, below
Chancellorville. Anticipating this movement.,
General Hooker had thrown forward the Corps
of General Sickles, embracing the Divisions of
l3irney and Whipple, and the Brigade of General
Barlow, with Berden's Sharp-shooters and Ran
dolph's Battery. This cAuma was intended to
cut Jackson's in two, which was actually done
by those gallant. soldiers, when all the fruits of
their victory were turned to ashes by the dis
graceful flight of the division of Cad Shttrz,
which division received the first. shock of Jack.
son's onset. This was at live o'clock on Satur•
day. Sickles, Biritcy and Whipple had to be
recalled. Our right. was in a panic. General
Berry was sent by General Hooker, with the
Second Division of the Third Corps, to slop the
rout. Ile succeeded, but it required a night at
tack from our side to extricate the right of our
line from the perilous position in which it was
placed by the flight of Shun' Division. This
was made at eleven o'clock, by Generals Birney
and Ward, and was completely successful. So
closed Saturday night, with our right considera•
bly shattered, but with the enemy baffled- and
repulsed in his main purpose.
As Lee was in position to attack General
Hooker's right flank and rear, it became feces
sary for the latter to change front to meet the
emergency, and this ho proceeded to do by lay
ing out a new line for his right flank during the
night. That work was not fully aceomplished
when Lee commenced the battle of Sunday at
half-past five in the morning. .It began consid
erably to the front of the new line, and it raged
with the most intense fury for nearly six hours.
It was marked by the conspicuous gallantry of
Generale Berry, Birney, Whipple, Williams,
Sickles, Slocum, French, Mott and Hancock,
and their officers and men. The troops of those
Generals occupied the field in front of the right
wing and engaged the enemy, while Reynolds'
and Meade's Corps, which formed the new right,
got iroo position. When everything was ready,
the divisions thus engaged fell back, and the
enemy found himself forced down upon our front,
instead of having an easy affair with the rear.. At
half-past eleven the enemy, thoroughly foiled
and repulsed at every point, ceased firin g . The
loss appears to have been heavy on both sides,
but the enemy's ranks were mowed down by our
artillery as they were at Malvern. Five of his
divisions engaged in the assault were fearfully
cut up, and two thousand of theta remain priso
ners in our hands.
So ended the battle of Sunday. The enemy
having experienced the same transient successes,
the same repulses, and the same terrible slaugh
ter we went through at Fredericksburg, and this
is due to the plan which compelled him to come
out and fight on our ground instead of him forc
ing us to do battle on his.
There was a third battle. This was the assault
of the strong Rebel works to the rear of Freder
iokaburg. by Sedgwick's Corps, on Sunday. The
storming column was led by the Sixty-first
Pennsylvania, and was otherwise composed of
the Forty-third New York, First Long Island,
Eighty-second Pennsylvania, Seventh Massachu
setts, Thirty-first and Thirty sixth New York,
Fifth Wisconsin and the Fourth Maine. After
a severe fight, they carried those formidable
lines, where so many of our brave men were
sacrificed in December last. The Rebel brigades
which occupied the intrenchments were totally
routed and driven down the read toward Chan ,
cellorville, in confusion.

AWAY OF THE POTOMAC, Wednesday, May 6
The Army of the Potomac has recrossed the
Rappahannock at United States and Banks Fords,
and is marching back to the old camps along the
Aquia Railroad.
Scdgwiek was overwhelmed by numbers, and
pressed hard on both front and rear, and was
hardly able to make good his escape near Banks
Ford. Fredericksburg and ; the heights beyond
have been reoccupied by the enemy, and the sit
uation is substantially as it was previous to the
advance.
bedgwick has lost. in killed and wounded about
5000 men. His artillery and trains were safely
brought over on Monday night.
After fighting the severe battle of Sunday
morning, Gen. Hooker continued to strengthen
his lines, throwing up double lines of rifle pits
and constructing an abattls along the chard line
of his camp. The enemy cautioned to make de
monstrations along the works, driving in the
pickets, and delivering volleys of musketry at.
men most exposed.
The artilleiry was placed on the heights below
United States Ford, in a position to command
the crossing.
At daylight a spirited cannonading was heard
for half an hour at Banks Ford, which was an
unsuceeaeful attempt to shell Sedgwiek's line.
At United States Ford the crossing was effected
without loss.
On Tuesday litc Sixth Corps of Hooker's Ar
my, recently engaged at Chancellorville, also re-
crossed the river at U. S. Ford, and are march
ing backing to Falmouth.
The retreat of Booker's Army produced a
great panic at Aquia, and everything movable
was placed on board the boats at the landing.
The order for retreat was a surprise, as it was
believed to be the determination to march out
and week the enemy in the front,
The crossing was commenced at 10 o'clock on
Tuesday night. At 3 o'clock on Wednesday
morning, wagon and mule trains and the artille
ry had all passed, and the infantry was crossing
on two bridges at United States Ford. Couch's
corps was in the advance. The retreat was 00.0-
ered by the Fifth, Meade's corps.
Lee's sharpshooters picked off the artillery
horses, and fired on any mounted officers seen
behind ride pitu Troops could be seen march-
ing and communicating along the roads south.
east from Chaneellorsville. In all advantageous
positions batteries were run out and vigorously
need against Hooker's camp. -As soon as coun
ter guns were brought to bear on their flying
batteries, they would disappear, to show them
selves in some new position.
The effect of a movement afrategetically offem.
sive, made tactically defensive, soon produced a
damaging effect on the entire army. The ques
tion again was, the nifty of the Army of tt.e Po
tomao. Coneuilatlons were had with corps com
manders; the question of the possibility of re
treat was discussed. This. once broached, and
the campaign was a failure.
It was decided that the enemy was too power
ful to be resisted, and that Sedgwick's corps
must be rejoined to the army in order to make
an offeneive movement practicable.
Sedgwick having failed to join Hooker via the
Fredericksburg and Gordonsville pladk road, and
being be l l pressed, he crossed the Rappahnu•
nook and saved his corps from annihilation. The
experiment cost him some 6000. Ile inflicted,
doubtless, a much greater injury on the enemy.
Sedwick's repluse, added to the weak counsels
of certain of his corps commanders, shook
Hooker's confidence, and, forgetting that he was
the aggressor, and that less than half his com
mand bad withstood the attack of the full force
of the enemy, he in one fatal moment gave the
order to evacuate the strong position and his
fortified oamP, and to retreat across the Rappa
hannock at United State Ford.
A defeat could have been little worse. The
army is not panic stricken, but it is certainly
greatly demoralized by this inglorious retreat.
There was no time from Friday morning till
Monday night that Hooker could oot have at.
tacked and defeated Lee's army. There only
lacked the ability to give the order.
On Monday morning, at daylight, the enemy
shelled from the heights below Scott's Dam the
train of Hooker's army at, United States Ford,
This circumstance increased the fears of the
commanding general, and the longer he delayed
to push forward the less: was he able to ad-

On Tuesday the order was given to retreat.
New roads were cut. The trains and reserve
artillery were sent back, and the evacuation was
commenced.
"The army is safe," with 10.000 fewer men
in its ranks, and a much larger number unfit for

Wednesday, and the chilling atmosphere have
severely impaired the health of the men, who
were wholly without means of shelter. The teuts

It is ascertained from the front !hut the Army
of the Potomac ham arrived with all its material*
at its old camp at Falmouth,
The demonstration of Gen. Hookar has proved
no disaster, but simply a failure, owing to the
impracticability of the position which the army
had gained with so much skill and energy'. Less
than three-eighths of the whole force was engag
ed, or could be engaged, the ground being cover
.d wig h forest, and being witho , !l. any practicable
rvwde,
Our entire loss in killed, wounded, and missing
does not exceed ten tbow , and. The enemy's loss
must have beau double this. Honorably to the
army, but lamentably for the country, the great
est proportion of them is in killed and wounded.
Our loss of prisoners does not exceed 86eentetn
hund red.
We have received 2,450 prisoners of the ene—
my. We lust eight. guns, mid took the same
number of pieces from the enemy.
The relluiviidiment of Ihe position Was made
simply because it aifordedino field for the ma—
neuvering of the army. and not from any reverse
or injury mist:a..A by it.
The (leiter:ll uml the entire army are in excel•
lent. heart fllld ready fore new movement. We
will not prohably know where this iu to he made
until after it has been commenced.
The Richmond papers show that Stone.msn's
corps went within two miles of Richmond, and
effected many captures and tt. great destruction
of property. At least a part of all this gallant
force has reached Gloucester in Keyes's com—
mand, opposite to Yorktown, on the York River.
There can now be no impropriety in saying
that the President and Major-Gen. Hallleck vis
ited Gee Hooker and the army yesterday, and
returned to the city to-night.
At. nearly 1 o'clock this morning information
was received that Gen. Stoneman bas safely ar—
rived at Rappahannock Station with the remain

neetione of ilia enemy in all directions, and thus
won a noble distinction.
The success of General Stoneman's expedition
is admitted by the rebels themselves. his forces
were divided into three squadrons—one com—
manded by himself and the others commanded
by Generals Averill and Buford All performed
their work gallantly by cutting the railroad com
munications between Lee's army and Richmond
and destroying all the bridges to within five
miles of the rebel capital.
One part of the cavalry went to Louisa Court
House, cutting up the railroad there. Another
pushed on to Columbia and Goochland, on the
