Further Disclosures of the knights
of the Golden Circle.
We will row give, what we did not give
in our first publication, the secret alphabet
adopted by the Knights for writing letters
| to each other, though of course they can
change this inst as they can change pass.
words. As we do not choose to be at the
trouble to procure cuts representing the al
phabet, we will try to give an Ineligible
description of all the characters used as let
tiers. In the following statement, what we
call straight line may be considered as
| about half an inch long, more or less, and
half line about a quarter of an inch. Well,
the letter is represented by a horizontal
line or half line directly along the rule
mark (supposing the paper to be ruled); b
perpendicular line intersecting the rule
mark, one half above and the other half be-
low it; half line standing perpendicu-
larry upon the rule-mark; d a half line
standing perpendicularly below the rule
mark; a half line santing forward above
the rule-mark + a half line slanting for
ward below the rHle-mark; a half line
slanting backwards above the rule mark h
half line slanting backwards below the
rule-mark very distinct round dot on
the rule-mark : half line directly on the
rule-marl1 with dot above it; n half line
on the rule with dot below it; a perpen-
dicular line intersecting the rule with dot
before it IN perpendicular line intersect-
ing the rule with dot after it; "a a line
slanting forwards intersecting the rule with
dot before it O line slanting forwards
intersecting the rule with dot after it p
line slanting backwards intersecting the
rule with a dot before it Q line slanting
backwards intersecting the rule with a dot
after it; large we'll defined comma the
tail below the line-the head or nucleus of
the comma should be open like figure 9 ;
a large and we1l-defnded inverted comma
above the line with the tail turned forwards;
half line perpendicular above the rule
terminating in half line along the rule,
making a right angled triangle; u the same
character with a dot behind it above the
rule; q a similar character with a dot be-
forfeit above the rule aos.a character some
thing like the capital letter V above the
rule; I the same character Inverted above
the rule, like capital A increased q the
figure of a capital S above the rule
hollow circle above the rule with a line
drawn perpendicularly through it and ex-
tending below the rule and dollar mark
($); a full stop, two parallel half lines,
one of them on the rule-mark and the other
above it.
OF course, in giving the Rituals of the
Knights of the Golden Circle, we have not
undertaken to give statements of all the
reasonable resolutions, &C, adopted at the
various meetings of the Order. We might
do this, and we shall, if we conclude that
the public welfare demands it.
In the same article, from which we ex-
tract the above, the Journal publishes list
of the Knights of the third degree. The
next day one of them, H. G. McCorkle, over
his own signature, acknowledged that he
had been member of the order, but left
after ascertaining its designs. He is now
an officer in Rosseaus brigade. The dis
closures published in the Union paper
have given the death blow to this treasona-
BILE and wicked order. The statement of
Mr.. McCorkle, is sufficient to prove that
thew are reliable.
