THE YOUNG GENTLEMEN on pHrLA.

To Gs Editor of the Press: sisa
SIR: There are quite q number o

called ''the best society" Of this cit,

the attention ofthese young (would be
Uatilines to few words which may
help them to some little understanding
Of what they are talking about, to the
disgust Of most who hear them. In
the frst place. they evidently see no
distinction between the Government
and Mr.. Lincoln, being evidently igno-

them, be shocked at the idea Of having
no Government at all. which would be
the only result Of the revolution they
so gibly prattle about--innocent youthsl
But a more serious consideration for
most OF them Is this: few Of them are in
any business, or have any independent
resources; they are mostly dependent
on their fathers, who know, better than
they, what would follow this revolu-
tion-viz: total loss of their property
and destitution everywhere, in place Of
the luxuries they now enjoy. A revo-
luton. il possible, would throw society
into chaos--would reduce us from the
position of Americans to that Of Penn.
sylvanians, or worse, would effectially
destoy all National Government, and
possibly both State and city govern

would probably find themselves in the
necessity of tOorking for mere living,
if they could have their silly ideas
realized. How would they like that?--
Hon sOuld they succeed at Il? They are
not the ones who make by revolutions.
They had better reflect little on this
subject, and not allow themselves TO be
the tools of disloyal intrigners (nost of
whom have nothing to lose, who will
throw them aside, like rubbish, after
having used them as far as they wish.
1t is a more serious business for them
than they imagine, and they had better
secure their future comforts by main
tanning the Government and Union
which has made them what they are.
They will not enjoy such blessings
under any other.

@The passage by the United States
Senate Of one bill for enrolling and pre-
pairing for active service, at the call of
the President, all the able.bodied re-
serve force Of the country, and the
adoption Of another authorizing the
employment Of letters of msrque. are
comprehensive measures looking to the
complete preparation Of our land and
ocean militia to be prepared for any
emergency. They are intended to
meet our present wants as well as our
prospective perils, and to enable rs to
defeat both domestic traitors and for
eign enemies. II is not to be denied
that the attitude Of France towards
our country Is unfriendly and that the.
willy Emperor will allow no favorable
opportunity for picking a quarrel with
US to pass without availing himself of
1t. He has become jealous of us as
"the sole dispenser Of the products Of
the new world;" he wants our eetton
and our gold mines. and be is BOW, un-
der pretext of settling difficulty with
Mexico, sending large forces to the con-
tineht and landing them in dangerous

Under these circumstances we look
upon the action Of Congress as emf

doubt that it wiz meet the hearty ap-
proval OF the whole eountry.-L.ou.

line on the Court House Square, in the
tpseseuce ora large assemblage Of
whites, 70 listen 20 an address from
John Dobson Esq. who congratulated
them upon the commendable spirit they
had shown in this crisis, and compli-
mented them in merited terms upon
their willingness, aye, their anxiety to
aid in any manner in the defense Of our
State against her Northern enemies
He felt that Virginia could depend
upon the strong arms and ready hearts
Of those he was addressing, and he bid
them do their duty In such manner as
would effectually tell In defence of the
State, and when they returned they
would reap rich reward of praise and
merit from thankful people. Mr..
DObson was frequently interrupted by
hearty cheers from the negroes.
Mr.. VIM. Fem next addressed
them, upon their duties, not only to the
State, but to him as their temporary
master, expressing the hope that he
should in no case have to complain Of
a single member. He also presented
them with a beautiful Confederate
States Flag, made by the true and no.
bic hearted ladies of Bollinbrook. street,
as a token Of their appreciation Of The
generous efforts they were about to
make, to achieve a successful defence
of Virginia soil and principles. The
enthusiasm at this point, among the
volunteers, was unbounded, and gave
partial vent in three fousing cheers for
the ladies.
Charles 4Snsley, one Of their number,
stepped forward to receive the flag, and
in reply said-"We are willing to aid
Virginia's cause to the utmost extent Of
our ability. We do not feel that It Is
right for US to remain here idle, when

which it is our duty to relieve them
There is not an unwilling heart among
US, not hand but will tell in the work
before Us; and we promise unhesitating
obedience to all orders that may be
given to u.s." In referring TO the flag,
he said-"I conld feel no greater pride,
no more qualification, than to be able
to plant it first upon the rampatts Of
Fortress Monroe"
This was truly a pa triotic speech.

received with a general outbarst of
cheering and applause.
The men were then marched down

to the depot, where. in the presence of
an immense crowd oil darkies, they took
their departure. They number just
one hundred.
Much feeling was shown. and many

Gle.
SOME FACTS ABOUT THE ORDER IN
INDIANA.


On the 18th inst, the Grand Jury
OF the United States District Court now
in session at Indianapolis. made pre-
sentiment that, on the 18th Jesse Nc
Henry, witness before them, testified
that he knew of the existence of q sc.
cret organization called the "Mutusl
Protectionists," composed Of from two
to three hundred persons. who met at
a certain hall in Indianapolis. who took
upon themselves certain obligations,
and had certain secret signs and pass
words, and that he had administered
said obligation, and had given certain
secret grips, signs and passwords, and
that there was, among other signs a
military sign, BY which members Of the
order aforesaid may recognize each 9TH
er when in opposing armies. He was
then asked to state the obligations ad-
ministered by him to the persons initi-
ated as near as he could; and, also, to
give the signs by which the members
Of said order may recognize each 9TH
er. and particularly the sign by which
they may recognize each other in case OF
being in opposing armies, or what is
called the military sign.
To all these questions he { (McHenry)
refused to make any answer.
On the 18th instant another present.
ment was made by the same grand jury,
that on the 18th one George Hughes
was before them and stated in his evil
dence that he knew Of the existence Of
a secret organization called the "Knights
of the Golden Circle" was himself, a
member, and had initiated other per.
sons; that an organization existed in his
neighborhood, numbering from forty
to sixty persons, Of the same kind, in
johnson county; that there were two
degrees OF the order, the members Of
which took separate oaths and obliga-
tions one from the other; that he had
taken the second oath. The first oath
obligated the member thereof to sup
port the Constitution of the United
States and the Constitution Of Indiana;
that the member will protect the other
members of the order when required
to do SO, and keep secret the grips,
signs and pass. words Of said order; and
will support the Democratic platform
Hughes also testified that the SECOND
oath is a very binding one. and re-
quires the member to keep the secrets
and signs Of the order under penalty

D. S. DICKINSON ON THE CRIsIs.-
In the course of speech by Hon. D.
s. Dickinson. in New York, on Satur-
day night. he said:
"If this Government must fail-if il
must 90 down in blood and tesrs--ii
the example Of Washington and the
great spirits Of the revolution. and those
who founded this Governmant, must
90 down. let it go down by blood. let
it go down by force; but let not the
Empire State contribute its mighty in-
auence. Give US rather Father Of Mer-
cies, oceans OF blood. rivers of tears
give us famine, give Us a life Of suffer-
ing. give us an iguoble death, rather
than curse us and our memories with
the idea that we have contributed to
uphold the terrible rebellion. When
this nation perishes. oh. may it perish
by the force of foreign foe. Let not
its foundation be sapped-let it not fall
a prey to the assassin's dagger at home.
Let it perish by foreign force. so that
when it shall perish we may not say
that, like the stricken eagle. it has fall
len by its own action. and especially by
the action Of the empire State"

fellow was strong and desperate, and
perhaps had some suspicion of the truth.
With wild yell he cleared their uni

The next moment the whole four Of us
were in chase of the villain as he ran
towards a wood, about twenty rods
distant.
"Firel" shouted the father; "shoot

We were all armed and prepared, and

The next morning We went out to

and found the ruffian lying dead, face
downward, his hands firmly clinched
upon some bushes. One of the sons
recognized him as suspected murder
