and Seidel, charged with conspiracy against the
United States, under the act. of March 3d, 1868,
was held before United States Commissioner
ileallett, in Philadelphia. The District Attorney
represented the prosecution, and Messrs, J.
Glancy Jones, J. P. O'Neill and Charles Buck
waiter, the defence. The first witness called was
Levi Stoltz, who was usable to speak English.
Er Sheriff Manderbaelt, el Berke ceenly, acted
as interpreter.
Levi Stoltz, sworn—My name is Levi Stoltz; I
live in Jackson township, Lebanon county ; I am
a carpenter; know Huber; saw him at Sellers' ;
was at a meeting with him; at an outside meet
ing; any one could come; the meetings were held
in the house and in the barn; after the meeting
in the house there was one in the barn; Huber
was there; cannot say if Oxenreider was there.
In regard to the alleged private meeting the wit
ness wan entirely ignorant.
Samuel Molter, sworn—l live in Bern township,
Berke county ; I understand bat little English ;
am a distiller; was born in Berke county ; know
Seidel; Seidel swore me into the society in April
bun t Hither was not there, or Ozeureider or any
of the others charged ; paid a dollar cn joining;
the society met at Henry Moser's; was initiated
at a private meeting; no guards were outside;
persons who were not members did not try to get
in; I swore to the Union and the Constitution
that was all; were told that we must be drafted
as the rest, and should not resist the draft; we
were sworn not to resist the draft ; we were sworn
to support the draft.
Mr. Coley—Was there a public meeting held
before you went into the barn ?
Witscaa—We wore not in the barn. The dollar
was paid by us to pay for flags, etc. We swore
we would not resist the draft; that was a part of
the oath; no speeches were made; the meeting
lasted about an hour; I have told everything to
which I owe, and ell that was done at the meet
ing; the whole hoar was consumed in adminis
tering the oath ; do not know to bow many it was
administered; there were private signs ; we were
sworn not to tell the secret ; the secret consisted
in the signs and passwords ; we held up our right
hands to support the Union, the Cons' itntion, and
the draft; I do not remember the passwords;
only attended one meeting, and none since; do
not know how many were initiated ; a good many
were there; . nob dy explained the meaning of
the signs; the meeting was a common Denitierat
is meeting; I do not know why they had the
signs and passwords; have heard of other meet
ings where they had signs and passwords ; do not
know that secret meetings are against the princi
ples of the Democratic party,
Sarah Batter , sworn—l live in Berke county, in
Lower Heidelberg; know Huber; was at a house
where he had a meeting ; there was a private
meeting; Huber was there; know most all who
were at the.meeting ; it was in the beginning of
March, at William Hart's; I was there as a ser
vant maid ; was in the room below, which was
the kitchen; about forty persons came into the
room where Huber was ; if they were drafted,
each should get a pistol and resist being taken ;
be said this ate* they were morn in; I did not
hear all that was said; saw them in the room
with their right hands raised; I was looking
through a knot hole; they talked so mud' about
the Republicans that I listened; Haber swore
the men in; I cannot say how long he was in
swearing them in; after that he showed the
signs, and said that if "the secesh" should
happen to come into the country they should raise
their hats three times, and then their property
would not be taken ; if one met allether be should
say R. D., and the other should say H. 0. ; he
also showed the grip of the society, which ehe
described as giving one finger and touching the
wrist with the under finger.
The witness continued Huber talked to them
after they were sworn in, saying if they wanted
him they should write that • he should come and
pay his debts;" if they were drafted they should
not go, but should resist the draft ; I knew a
good many there ; . their names are Rudolph,
Osumi, John and Richard Rail, Abe Mualmyt,
Gabriel Ruhl, Gabe Schwarz, Henry Boyer, Hy
man Moyer,Benneville Moyer, Peter Peifer.
'William Heb erling, William Schaefer, and a man
named Eshleman ; they all live in the same neigh
borhood.
Cross-examined by Mr. have known
Reber since Christmas last; had not seen him
from that time to March; at the time they were
in the meeting I sat on the wood chest; all the
time until I went to bed; I looked through a small
knot bole in the door; was not afraid of being
seen while there ; the men stood in a ring around
the table; I saw Huber giving them the grips.
At this time Mr. O'Neill approached the wit—
TIM and the questions and answers were so in—
distinct as to prevent our catching either.
Henry D. &hoedler, amerw—l live in Reading ;
know Mr. Seidel; on the evening of the last
spring election he asked me why I did not join
their club— He told me it would cost me a dollar
to join; I know Mr. Mnthart.
Cram examined by Mr. Jones—l am a member
of other societies where an initiation fee is paid ;
I paid $5 to the American Mechanics' Society of
Reading; Mr. Seidel in a man of property ; he
holds property in trust for others; from what. I
have heard of Mr. Muthart's character, and what
I know of him, I do not think that he would in
any way assist in breaking the laws; he would
at all hazards maintain his Constitutional rights.
Mr. Jones did net want to travel outside of the
record, as had many times been done in the pro
gress of this trial. Three meetings have been
held, and nothing had been proved even against
Mr. Huber that subjects him to triaL A great
deal had been said and dm, but to -little pm—
? se. The District Attorney had - certainly la—
with the utmost assiduity ; the only difS—
•-as that he was fishing in waters where no
esfriWre to be found. The speaker continued,
that he merely wished to bring to the notica of
the commissioner Gig real intention of the society,
as he had gathered it from the testimony. Much
had been said distorting its purposes ; but he had
been informed that the object of the association
was simply to protect its members against any
future aggressions on their constitutional rights;
not to resist the draft, nor to resist the officers of
thh Government, nor to violate the law of the
lend in any particular; but, if future contingen
cies should arise requiring it, to protect their
rights_
Caley—.. What are those contingencies ?"
Mr. Jones—Many people in Berke county are
apprehensive that their property may be destroy
ed; that they may not be allowed to vote; that
.yntilie meetings may be prohibited that they
may not be able to protect their homes, their
- wives and children with their own arms.
Conannmoner Heazlitt—.. That is supposing all
law to be at an end."
The Commissioner at this point recommended
that the hearing be brought to a close.
Mr. Jones had the same wish ; he had endeav
ored to keep out of it all extraneous matters, and
Lad ant in any way alluded to political matters.
On one occasion he had been compelled to reply
as to a transaction which had 000urred in Berke
county, with which he had no more connection
than the District Attorney himself, excepting
that he aequieseesl is it cordially, e s he would
again. lie would now confine himself strictly to
the law and the facts. The question had been
asked a witness whether he was a Democrat?
Mr. Coffey stated that he Made this inquiry to
show that he was separating the case from any—
thing political.
Ile wished to establish that the society was net
Democratic, but an excrescence which intended
to resist. by force actual or anticipated evil. He
was not objecting to anything public and open,
hut a conspiracy to resist a law of the United
States, lie saw in the case before hint Inure or
less leagueing together to oppose the laws of the
United States by force.
Mr. Jones wished to ask a question: Why
did the District Attorney ask the witness Was
he a Democrat ?'"
Mr. Coffey replied that he had made the inqui
ry for the purpose of showing that this was not
merely a Democratic association, but was merely
a pretence for the purpose of resisting the draft.
When Seidel asked Mr. Schoedler to join the
Club, he did not say, " Will yon join a Demo
cratic Club?" There was a vast difference be
tween inculcating Democratic ideas and making
a false nee of party feeling.
Mr. Jones said that the defendants were pres
ent to answer charges under the law, and he
himself was there as counsel in their defence
He was not a member of the society. He spoke
from information derived from his clients and
from the testimony. His clients had been in
structed by him to come without witnetta6B, Ram'
much as the proceedings would be entirely ex
' parte. The question was, whether they were in
nocent or guilty; whether they had said or done
anything that violated the law. It was due to
them, as well as to himself, to state that not a
single witness could be produced here or else.
where, to prove that any member of the Society
arrested had ever said that be would resist the
draft by force, or had ever done anything which
;quid bg 89 mmetrued. Mr. Jones said that this
was certainly true. As far as his knowledge
went., nothing of the kind had been done. Hs
here repeated what Huber had said in regard to
loading their guns with salt. . .
Mr. Huber might have said what Misa Bauer
had repeated as laiving come to her ears through
the knot hole, but the fact of her father being an
enrolling officer might have made her ears par
ticularly sharp. Mr. Jones pointed out the dis
parity in the testimony, all of them witnesses for
the Government, regarding the form of the oath.
One witness had "sworn that it was to resist,
another, to support the draft. In his opinion,
Mr. Seidel was only preparing for contingencies
which might arise and threaten his own property
and t h at which he held in trust ter others, All
the meetings held by him had been held in open
day and in public places.
The assurance could be given with safety that
the draft would not be resisted in Berke county.
No such intention had ever existed.
Mr. Joliet tapas& that there was an appre
hension for the future; that the people were
alarmed; they were fearful not so much of the
present as of the tendencies of the future. The
intention was not to realist the laws, but simply
to protect their constitutional rights_ The de
fendants are here to meet the District Attorney
on any ground whatsoever.
Mr. Coffey said he insisted on holding the
ground that a case of conspiracy had been made
out. He had no idea on what ground they
founded their apprehensions of the future.
Mr. Jones—They fear that the day may come
in which they may no longer assemble to express
their opinions in a peaceable manner, and that
the right of suffrage may be denied them or in
terfered with.
Hr. Coffey—Do you mean to say that peo
ple in Berke county are apprehensive that the
right of suffrage will be taken away from them ?
Mfr. Jones did not vouch for what men said.
Their apprehension was they might not be al
lowed to vote, or that such power might be ex
erted as would prevent them from voting as they
wished. Such had already, many of them
thought and said, been the case in New Hamp
shire, Connecticut and Delaware, and their turn
might come next.
Jacob Werner, sworn—Lives in Marion town
ship, Barks county; knows something about the
society ; knows Huber ; knows he has been hold
ing meetings; knows Illig ; do not know Muth
art or Seidel; know Oxenrelder ; do not know of
their belonging to the society; I was at a meet
ing and paid a dollar, at a public meeting at 11.
Oxenreider's ; some time in April I was at two
meetings; I do not drink; I was sworn in; oth
ers were; I know the oath; it was something
about the emancipation proclamation, the con ,
fiscation law, and something about the conscrip
tion; it contained nothing more; I do . not re
member all the bigot;; one was pointing the index
finger down, another was holding the finger to
the eye, another a grip of the hand ; Huber in
structed me in the signs; one password was H.
C., and R. D. was the other; do not know what
11. C. meant ; R. D. meant Richmond ; they were
standing while taking the oath, holding the right
band up; nothing was said about resisting the
emancipation; do not think anything wan said
about confiscation or conscription ; nothing was
said about the way of resistance; do not remem
ber that anything further was said ; he said some
thing about the South; do not remember what;
I have a poor memory. I ant forgetful. In the
public meeting, he said that it was in support of
the Union and Constitution. Not much was dons
in the private meeting; we were there an hour
and a half; the object of the Society was to set
tle the Wert I =mot remember exactly what
Huber said; he explained the meaning of H. C.
and R. D ; I do not remember how he said that
they were known by soldiers in the different
armies; do not remember that he mentioned the
number of members; he said their guns were to
be loaded with salt to meet the enrollees. Be
said it jokingly.
Cron examined—The members assented to the
oath administered by Huber, by holding up the
right bands. I did not and told them next day
that I was not a member, and did not consider
myself so; I understood that the opposition to
the confiscation, emancipation or conscription
acts was in opinion merely.
To Arr. O'Neill—l do not remember swearing to
support the Constitution or the Vain; do not
remember the questions being put, though such
may have been the case.
To Hr. Coffey—l understood the draft was to
be opposed by members not going.
To Mr. Joneo--1 do not understand their mean
ing; they said they would not give a man or a
dollar; it was understood that they would dgbt
before they would go; Huber did not say so, but
such was my inference.
To lifr.,o'Neilt—lconstrued it so because they
said they would not go ; do not remember it be ,
ing brought into court; am a farmer; was
School- master at one time.
To Mr. Coffey—Do not know of any threats
having been made against witnesses who have
been subpoenaed here_
The Commissioner, after some bitter argument,
then discharged Messrs. Reed, hluthart and Sei
del.
Messrs. Filbert and Oxenreider, who had at
tended the meeting, were held in $l,OOO bail.
Dr. Illig, having acted as Secretary, was held
in $1,500, and Huber in $3,000 bail, to answer
at Court.

WAR NEWS!
THE SIEGE OF VICKSBURG.
Cheering News from General Grant.
The Surrender of the City Demanded
REPLY OF GENERAL PEMBERTON.
Advices have been received by the Government
from Vicksburg up Lo Sunday night, May 31.
They are of nil encouraging character, but no
specific intelligence in communicated. The Rcbel
report that Grant Iraq sent his whole army to the
Big Black, and the unofficial Union report that
he had sent thither one corps, are incorrect.
Our troops are in good health and spirits.
We are assured upon the highest authority
that since the 22d no assault has been made upon
the Rebel works ; that since the 25th, up to the
31st, no fighting whatever had taken place ; and
that the Union loss in the 14SElatlitS of the 21at
and 224 has been greatly exaggerated.
A telegram in the Richmond papers of June 8,
dated Jackson, June 1, says that Grant had de
manded from Pemberton the surrender of Violas.
burg, which was refused. Grant had then given
him three days' time to eonsider.
The Government has official information of the
close investment of Port Hudson by Gen. Banks,
and the Richmond papers of June 8 assert that
at the latest dates the situation there was un
°hanged.
We are permitted to publish the following ex
tract from a private letter from an officer of Ad
miral Porter's squadron, dated near Vicksburg,
May 26 :
"We are meeting with successes on every side,
and before long the entire river will be open.
To-night we had a dispatch from Gen. Grant,
staling that he was gaining ground and advanc
ing slowly but surely on the town. We have kept
our mortars playing on the town for the last
three days and nights without cessation, and
have destroyed a great many buildings, beside
two batteries. Deserters and paroled prisoners
report to-night that the city cannot hold out
much longer. They are getting very short of
provisioni and have already Come down La half
rations. They have no way of getting any more
supplies. We all feel very confident here of the
fall of Vicksburg in a very short space of time."
DESTRUCT/ON OF A UNION GUNBOAT.
The Union gunboat Cincinnati has been sunk
by the rebel batteries of Vicksburg, and twenty
of her crew killed and wounded. The rebels
have been forced to parole some of their prison
era, on account of the low elate of their supplies,

Mississippi Squadron, near Vicksburg,
via Cairo, May SO, 1863:
To the Hon. Gideon Welles, Secretary of Me Hen :
Ste! I have the honor to inform you that the
expedition I sent up the Yazoo under command
of Lieutenant Commander Walker, after taking
possession of the forts at Haines' Bluff, was per
fectly successful.
Three powerful steam rams were destroyed at
Yazoo City. One was a monster, 810 feet long
and 90 feet beam, to be covered with four-inch
iron plates. A fine navy-yard, with machine
shops of all kinds, saw mills, blacksmith shops,
&c., were burned up. The property destroyed
and captured a*noueted to ever *2,000,000. Had
the monster iron ram been finished she would
have given us some trouble. One battery was
destroyed at Drury's Bluff. Our loss on the
expedition was 1 killed and 7 wounded.
