HARRISBURG. PA
FRIDAY MR% Mann 11, 1864.
appointinent ‘ by the Governor.
James Watson, of the borough of Washing
ington, has been appointed President Judge
of the Fourteenth Judictal-District, composed
of the counties of Washirigton, Fayette and
Greene.
The Western Conspiracy in Aid of thy
Rebellion of the Slave-holders.
Judge Advocate General, Holt's . reTiCAV of
the testimony in relation to a great conspiracy
in the West, under the- auspices 'of what was
termed "The order of _American Knights, - or I
"Sons of Liberty,". has attracted, Perhaps,
more attention than any other decument given.
to
to therAmerican people during the progress
of the SlaVe-holders' rebellion.. FAN:II . 4 mass
of voluminous testimony, Judge Advocate,
Holt has condensed the history of au attempt
at rebellion which, in .all' its features, is far
more revolting than the partially successful
rebellion of the slave-holders. The Order of
American Knights had its origin in the South.
It was introduced into the border Westerti
States, for the purpose of affording a nen
dens around which the disaffected and
restless politicians of those sections could
rally, and when • fully organized, pre
cipitate rebellion, anarchy and death
in every defenceless community in the
free States. Judge Advocate Holt uncovers
the Plot fully in his report. He shows that the
roving bands of guerrillas that infested Ten
nessee, Kentucky, Missouri and.
.Arkansas,
were composed entirely of Members of this .
order, who, when the country was clear of
Union troops, emerged from their concealment
to ravage and desolate the. homes of the de
fenceless,and who, when a rebel force appeared
in theii neighborhood, were always prepared to
afford information or contribute material as
sistance. These guerrillas, in atrocity and
heartlessness of conduct, exceeded the blood
thirsty cruelty of the regularly organized . rebel
armies; and but for the timely exposure inade
of their operations by the report of the Judge
AdvOcate, the organization wohld have extend
ed into `every State of the Union, and im
perilled the lives of every family in the loyal
States. The St. Albans robberies and assassi
nations is but a dim idea of what the Sons of
Liberty contemplated; and for their speedy
suppression we have only the vigor and the
prolnptness of the Governinent tolhank.
—jiidge Advocate Holt's report will some
day form a most important chapter in the his
tory of the country. The student of sacred
history uow turns with horror from the rela
tion of the foul treachery of Iscariot and the
contemplation of the record of Cataline's
bloody deeds fills every heart with dismay—
but when peace affords the student time to
ponder the able report of the Judge Advo
cate, the horror and the dismay elicited by
the perusal of the Jewish traitor's deeds and
the Roman's treachery, will give way to the
indignation created by the relation of the in
famous treason thus recorded by Mr. Holt.
Congress, at its coming session, should see
that this report is put into the hands of every
man in the country. It will prove to the in
credulous what treason really means, and how
absolutely necessary it is foi every man to do
his duty completely to rescue the Government
from destruction.
Some Things which we Believe
We care nothing about any reputation for
foresight or discernment relative+ to the pre
sent condition of affairs in this country. But
there are certain things which we believe, and
which we have firmly held tiros far, through
every change and in every state of the strug
gle.
We believe there is soundness and health
enough amongthe American people to carry
the nation successfully through this time of
We believe that in this public virtue and
true love of country among the masses of the
people lies our only means of safety and suc
-0080.
We believe that the great body of the peo
ple of the North, whatever party they' ma 7
have acted with heretofore, really and honestly
love their country, and wish to act the part of
loyal citizens and faithful supporters of our
excellent Government.
Wie believe that whatever changes may he
made in policy or methods of administration,
or with the men who hold the highest military
and civil positions, the country will be saved.
We believe that if we could frilly under
stand everything connected with our national
striation, we should see plainly that the war
has been conducted as successfully as was
possible In the nature of things, and that our
progress toward victory and peace has in
truth been steady and rapid.
We believe that those Union men who think
it is a mark of superior wisdom to be always
finding fault with the Administration are act
ing very foolishly, and are in truth giving en
couragement to our enemies by weakening the
spirit of loyal people. We know this article
in our creed will not be very popular, but we
think a croaker the most utterly useless crea
ture that Clod permits to vegetate in this work
ing, progressive world.
We believe that the people of this country
need a much greater degree of intelligence, a
more general difftudon , of knowledge, to enable
them to maintain a popular government and
free institutions and we believe they are learn
ing very fa,'.. We believe, too, that when
they find out what is right they will do it.
Finally, we beliete that light and truth Are
in their inherent nature aggressive and im
mortal; and that they will some time be
Universal. We believe God will keep -at
work in this world ttutll everything' in it is
arranged exactly as-He-wants it. • We believe

' CAMP AT MANASSAS JUNCTION,
Tuesday, Nov. 8, 1864. ' r
En. TELEonArs---Dear Sir: Amid a drench- .
ing rain and a lowering sky, we left our camp,
at Gainesville, and proceeded to Manassas
Junction, on Monday Morning, at .8. o'clqck.
We got on board of a train of gondolas; load
ed with rail just taken off the track ithoie.
Gainesville, and kood; or sat, as best we
could, on top of the iron, smeared over. with
the Yirgin-ia soil, fot seven miles, down to
Manassas; and when we disembarked at Ma
nassas Junction, in mud ankle deep, we look-.
ed like a party of workmen just coming out
of Muench's or Hamilton's brick-yards. •
This arrangement, nevertheless, Was far
preferable to a tramp in, the mud for a half.
day's march, besides which, there are no bet:
ter conveniences on the above road, where.
every available engine and car are in constant,
We stopped here, and occupied the shebangs
just vacated by. he 6th Penn'a Heavy Artil
lery. We were obliged. to. "pile" into the
cabins just vacated, at the rate of from eight
to sixteen into a cabin, the best that could be
done under the pressing circumstances, and
some over that; while .one-half of their 'com
panions stood on their feet and slept, gander
style, the other half "rolled in," three to a
bed, 'and passed the night comfortably (?)
. We could not remedy the matter, as there was
,not material at hand to . erect a few extra
shanties for our protection and shelter.
The Bth Illinois Cavalry are in , our rear,
protecting the workmen in removing the rail.
The regiment had hardly left Gainesville until
the "whackers," like buzzards, scenting cation
afar off, made their appearance. This same
Illinois cavalry are a body of stalwart, patri
otic, fearless men, and Moseby, the La Me
of the land pirates of Virginia, hates and fears
them as the devil does holy water. In their -
scouts around Salem, and the neighborhood
of the "Gap," they have had frequent skir
mishes with some of Moseby's outlaws, but
could never draw the famons gterrilla leader
out into a fair hand to hand engagement.
This party it was that so handsbniely repulsed
a combined force under Moseby and White,
about ten days ago, above Salem, losing but
one man missing and four or five wounded;
on the other hand capturing fifteen "whack
ers," killing' ix, and taking a number of' val.;
uab]e horses, which, from their fine and sleek
appearance, have at one time or other grazed
in the "green pastures" of the Cumberland
Valley of our native State.
A major of this regiment (Major Wiun)
sent a challenge to Moseby, to come out from
among tlks bushes and fight him a "fair free
fight," choosing his OW n ground; with an wqmil
number of mon, but !Hose "couldn't Wit."
On Sunday last, a captain, orderly and
about twenty privates of the Eighth Hoosiers,
went out on a scouting expedition, Itecompa.

lIIS VIEWS ON THELLA'PETIILITICAV CONTEST
An Appeal for Unanimity.
The several Lincoln and Johnson Clubs of
the District of Colnibia called on President
Lincoln to-night, and gave him a serenade in
honor of his re-election. There was in addition
an immense concourse ot,spectators of,botb
sexes in front of the Executive Mansion. The
firing of a field-piece was of frequent occur
rence, adding to the excitement of the occa
sion.
The President appeared at au upper wink
dow, and, when the cheers with which he was
greeted had ceased, spoke as follows:
"It has long been a grave question whether
any Government, not too strong for the liber
ties . of, its people , can be strong
,cnongli toi
'maintain its existence in great emergencies.'
"On this point the present rebellion has
brought our Republic to a severe test; and a
Presidential election, occurring in regular
course during the rebellion, has added not a
little to the strain. If the loyal people united
were put to the utmost of their strength by
the rebellion, must they , not fail when divided
and partially paralyzed by a political war
among themselves? But the electism was a
necessity. We cannot have a free Govern
ment without elections; and if the rebellion
could force us to forego or postpone' a na
tional election, it might fairly claim to havg,
already conquered and ruined us.
"The strife of the election is but human
nature practically applied to the facts of the
case. What has occurred in this case must
ever recur in similar cases. Human nature
will not change. In any future great national
trial, compared with the men who have pissed
through this, we shall have as weak and as
strong, as silly and as wise, as bad and as
good. Let us, therefore, study the incidents
of this as philosophy to learn wisdom from,
and none of them as wrongs to be revenged.
Cheers.
But the election, along with its incidental
and undesirable strife, has done good, too:
'lt hag demonstrated that a people's govern:-
mefft can sustain a national election in the
midst of a great civil war. [Renewed cheers:]
Until now Whits not been proven to the world
:that this was a possibility. It shows, also,
how sound and strong we still are. It shows
.that, even among candidates of the same party,
he who is most devoted to the Union and
most opposed to treason can receive most of
`the people's vote. [Applause.] It shoWs,
'also, to the extent yet unknown, that we have
.more men now than we had when the wan
began. Gold is good in its place, but living,
brave, patriotic men are better than gold.
[Cheers. and other demonstrations cf ap
plause.]. But thee rebellion- contintieS, I.and
now that the electionls; over, niag : no,t .
having a common interest, re-unite in a com
mon effort to save our common'country?
[Cheers.] • ,
' , For my own part, I have striven, and shall
strive,tto avoid placing any obstacle in the way.
;[Cheers.] So long as I have been here
_I have
not willingly planted a thorn in any man's
bosom. While lam deeply, sensible to the high compliment of a ixreleotion, - and duly
grateful, as I trust, to Almighty God for having
directed my countzymezito a right conclusion,
•as I think, for their own good, it adds nothing
to my satisfaction that any other man may be
`disappointed or pained by the result. :ICheers.l
May I ask those who have not "differed with.nie
to join with me in this same spirit towards
those who have? And now let me closthy,
asking three hearty cheers for our brave i sol r „
thers and seamen, and their gallant and (skil
ful commanders." ;
The three cheers were enthnsiasticallyglyen
:accompanied by music and the Sorutd of can
non.
