A Letter 10 a Friend.

CHARLES Cry, April IL, 1862.
DEAR E--:A A few evenings since
| was much surprised to hear the
sound of fife and drum, an unusual
occurrence in the quiet streets of our
village. My first impressions were.
that tie rebels had taken a fancy to
come up here and give the citizens of
the Northwest IA serenade, and had ci-
ther forgotten to give us warning of
their approach, or on account of the
mails being so irregular, thought they
would not have time to give us notice
But it proved that the Southerners
were neither ungallant, nor the stage
drivers in fault this time, for upon en-
auiry found that the noise proceed
ed from band of thirty five little he
roes, who had formed themselves in
to a militia company. Boys ranging
from ten to fifteen years of age !
there, what do you think of that
Don't you think the spirit Of our town is
all right on the war question? This
little band of freemen have drilled
every night, that the weather would
permit, since they were organized.
OF course they have no idea of enlist
ing for this war !! We have brave
youths enough in the field at present
for the preservation of our Union with
or without slavery. Let them leave
it in if they choose; our young militia
are growing up all around, and in
twelve years. yes, in ten, they will be
able to give the decisive issue to this
war. No more slavery in the Union
of freedom, should be their motto
then would the bondman have cause
to bless God for young America, and
every parent would be proud that he
had raised q son who had used his

MY JOURNEY.

1t was a pleasant morning in the
carly part Of the month of May, that
|, in company with some others, start
ed to make a visit to some relatives
of mine, residing in the city of --.
The sun was not yet up, but the notes
of the singing birds could be heard as
they awoke each other with their mat
in songs. The air was balmy and
cool, and we rode on in silence, en-
joying its freshness, and the beauties
of nature everywhere developed
around us. We had proceeded on our
journey several miles, ere the sun
made his appearance amid profusion
of gold-tinted clouds. l had often wit
messed the rising of the sun, but never
before had l beheld him rise so glori-
ously. In fact everything seemed
more beautiful than ever before. The
air seemed more pure, the grass looked
greener, the birds sang more sweetly,
and even the little brook had in its
quiet murmuring peculiar music.
Itwas midday when we approached
farmhouse, about which an air oi
luxury and neatness prevailed feel
ing the cravings Of nature for food, VIC
alighted and asked for "a repast, which
was quickly and checrfully placed be
fore us. 1t consisted of savory
steak, well cooked vegetables and a
nice pudding. The good humored
talkativeness of our host and hostess
caused us to feel perfectly at home
and we did ample justice to the din
ner, and with many thanks, (they
would accept nothing more, we pro
ccedcd on our way.
AS it was now past one o'clock. anc
we were not more than half way t
our place of destination, we began t.

each other for two years, so we agreed
to meet at my unclc's for visit.

OF THE ORGANIZATION OF THE
KNIGHTS OF THE GOLDEN CIRCLE.
PUBLISHED
By the L. S. National U. c., Feb. 1862.
OF the X. G. c., a writer in the Con
tinental Monthly, for January, 1862,
says: ... .
This organization, which was insti-
tutcd by John G. Calhoun, William l..
Porcher, and others, as far back as
1885, had for its sole object the disso-
luton of the Union, and the establish
ment of southern Empire-Empire
is the word, not CoDfederacy or Re-
public-and it was solely by means
OF its secret but powerful machinery,
that the Southern States were plunged
into revolution, in defiance of the will
of a majority of their voting popula-
tion. Nearly every man of influence
at the South, (and many a pretended
Union man at the North. is a member
Of this organization, and sworn, under
the penalty of assassination, to labor
"in season and out of season, by fair
means and by foul, at all times and on
all occasions" for the accomplishment
of its object. ..... ...
Through these means, and especial
ly by the agency of the n. G.. c., "the
southern mind has been educated and
the Southern heart fred" persistently
and thoroughly, for a long series OF
years, until the hopes Of the arch
traitors were in part realized by the
Inauguration of civil war, on the 18th
of April, 1861, by that fatal shot for
the South, the firing of the first gun a,

ization has acquired new strength, and
become widely disseminated through,
out the length and breadth Of oul
land, embracing within its circle many
thousands of disloyal men, who are
secretly conspiring against the rights
and liberties Of our people. Men o
all grades in society, from the lordl,
banker and merchant, the eloquent
statesman and the ambitious poll
tician, down to the lowest ruffian ans
assassin who infests the purlieus o
our cities, are believed to be connect
ed with this organization their oh
ject being the advancement of thei
own ends, whatever they may be
even at the sacrifice of our Govern
ment, our rights, our liberties, an,
even our existence as a great AM
powerful nation. Indeed, the cardina
object of this conspiracy seems to b,
the utter destruction of the Great Re
public, and the establishment upon it

oligarchy, wherein the rich may lor,
