Where are We Drifting?---Treason at
Home.

We call upon all good citizens to ex-
anime the working OF the secret societies
now in our midst. They are not the
work of a day, but have been in progress
for months, In October they took the
name of Knights of the Golden Circle,
the Holy Brotherhood, or the Band of
Brothers. Their password was Belrick;
their grip was one firm shake of the
hand, pressing the thumb firmly; the
signs OF recognition were the use of the
half-clOsed right hand over the mouth
and the open right hand on the right
cheek, answered by similar use of the
left hand by the respondent Their
avowed purposes embraced the desertion
of soldiers with their arms, the surren-
der to the enemy upon paro without
conflict, resistance to drafts, interference
with enlstments, and the overthrow of
the government. Men holding commits
sions as attorneys at law, who were
sworn to support the constitution and
the laws, took part in these reasonable
schemes for money
= They were spared because their char
acters would give no prominence to the
pendllN, anu yeti one example was made
in j. Z. Brown, whose lie depends upon
the clemency of the President Hun
dreds Of deceived soldiers deserted their
flag, until the term deSerter in oil ~eoe
deemed the synonym of coward and trail
tor. was made by these agents of the
toulest wrong TO appear to the soldier to
be equivalent to the name of MARTYR.
The October treason resulted in the pun
ishment of many-fnes, hard labor, and
confinement-when the men who, for
money, deceived them, grew rich, and
proud and prosperous. One death PEN
atty was the sequel to those examina-
tons, but the originators are UNPUBLISHED.
Their names will yet be given forth to
become the scorn Of freemen wherever
liberty is honored Yet these men live
among us. Emboldened by indulgence
McHenry, rather than disclose the pres
ent oath and grips and battle signs,

say. Freemen, ponder well what we have

How THE THING is DoNE.-The follow
ing specimen of Democratic Literature
and Patriotism, we copy from the Wa
bash IT. H Express, that our readers
may see the contemplate expedients and
peace Democracy to demoralize the fed
eral army and secure the triumph of tie
rebels. This letter was written to a
member of the 3lst Indiana Regiment,
and was sent home for publication.
The same paper contains two other
letters of like tenor and intelligence, and
also letter from Col J P. Baird of the
o5th Indiana, administering a most with
ering rebuke to those who under the
name of democracy, are plotting against
the life, not only of the nation, but
against the lives of the friends they thus
basely influence to desert.
P. Y. Buskirk, the author of one of
the letters to the 85th, has long been
Democratic politician on a small scale,
and was for soma years Post Master at
Centerville, Vigo county. His brother,
to whom he wrote the letter, and another
man to whom he says he had written,
have deserted from the S5th, doubtless
acting on the advice received from this
model Union Democrat.
These men, Buskirk and Manning. are
only tools in the hands of the party lead
ers such as Cookery, Hanna, Voorhees,,
and T. A. Hendricks, and drain their in
spiration from such patriotic sheets as
the Terre Haute Journal, State Sentinel
and Vincennes San. The government
should make especial effort to arrest the
friends of those letter writers who have
deserted, and then they should be
promptly shot, and the articles of war
should be enforced against those Undue.

LOUISIANA REPREsENTED.-The recog-
milton by the House of Representatives
Of the claim of Messrs HAHN and Elan
ders to seats in that body as members
from New Orleans, may chang entirely
the political complexion OF the next
House. Mr.. Flanders was absent at the
time the resolution admitting him and
his colleague was passed, stumping New
Hampshire for the Republican onrdi-
dates On test questions there could
not have been more than two or three
difference either way, prior to the ad-
mission of the New Orleans members,
and they may turn the scales in favor of
the Administration and the Union.
Before vote was taken on the ques-
ton of their admission, Mr. Hahn made
a speech in behalf of his own and Elan
ders claim, which greatly benefited
their cause and stamped the speaker as
a rising man. There seems to be no
doubt that both may be relied on as ster-
ling Union men and supporters of the
Administration in all vital measures.
