Well, peace to the Republican party's

The knights of the Golden
Circle.
A SECRET SOCIETY OF TRAITORS
IN INDIANA.

AT Indianapolis the grand jurors of the
United States district court have just been
looking little into an organization that de.
serves the attention of all loyal men, to the
end of its utter extinguishment. From the
voluminous finding of the grand jury as to
this secret society of traitors in Indiana, we
compile the leading points:
Having heard that organizations with
this object in view existed in certain locals
tiles, witnesses were sent for, and brought
before the grand jury. These witnesses
came from many counties, and lived in va.
rious parts of the State. After a careful
and dilligent examination of the testimony
from witnesses we'll acquainted with the
facts deposed, and having personal knowl.
edge OF the matters, said grand jury are
constrained to say that a secret and oath
bound organization exists, numbering some
$4,000 in Indiana, as estimated ~ the
members of their order, commonly known
as Knights of the Golden Circle, and even
in the same localities by different names.
Their lodges, or "Castles," as they denomi-
nate them, are located in various parts of
the State, yet they have common signs, grips,
and words whereby the members are able
to distinguish each other, and passwords
to enable the member to enter the
castle in which he was initiated, or any
other which such member may cause have to
visit. They have signals by which they
can communicate with each other in the
day, or the night time, and above all they
have a signal or sign which may be recog.
nized at great distance from the person
giving it. This last signal, we regret to
say, was invented for such members as
should by means of the draft or otherwise,
be compelled to serve in the ranks of the
army. In such case members of the order
serving in opposing armies receiving the
sign are reminded OF their obligation not to
ipjure the member giving it. This signal is
given in every instance upon the initiation
of a new member. and it's observance is
strictly enjoined upon every individual be.
longing to the order. By the teachings of
the organization it is the duty of it's menu
bers engaged 10 the present war, although
arrayed on opposite sides, upon the signal
being given, if they shoot at all, to shoot
over each other. Many members Of the
order, examined before us admit the binding
force OF the obligation, and pretend to jus.
tify it as correct in principle.

Here they encountered two regiments of
infantry and battery posted behind earth

Captain Robinson's infantry was engaged.
Firing lasted about three hours, when
the rebels ingloriously fled by the river road
to Richmond, holly pursued by our troops,
who succeeded in taking 100 Of them pris
0ners.
The loss on our side at this point was 3
killed and IL wounded. Captain Kansam
had bis thigh broken by piece of shell.
The doctors think bis leg can be saved.
Lieut.. Colonel Gamble, of the 9th Iii.
nois Cavalry, was severely wounded in the
breast while driving in the enemy's pickets.
Colonel Averill, with 500 cavalry, took
the Quaker road to White Oak Swamp
bridge, and there found the 10th Virginia
Cavalry drawn up to receive them. A
charge was Immediately ordered, which
broke the rebel lines, when they fed.
Colonel Averill followed them three

noon.
Everything is quiet on the other side of
the river.
HEADERS ARMY OF THE PeToMAC,)
August z, 1862.
AT Malvern Hill everything was quiet
during yesterday.
1t was reported last night, by deserters
and cOntrabands, that the rebels had been
moving from the vicinity of Richmond, in
large force, towards Malvern Hill, with the
view of retaking that position.
Three thousand exchanged prisoners ar.
rived yesterday afternoon from Richmond.
Those belonging to this army and fit to do
duty, were sent to their regiments, and the
others will leave for the North today.
There is no truth in the statement that
this army is used to protect rebel property,
as reported.
