A great movement is, beyond doubt,
in progress in this State, looking toward
reconstruction. The Wilmington Jour
nal, an original secession organ, charges
that the Legislature is plotting to that
effect, and the Raleigh Journal, another
rebel organ, alleges the discovery of Z
secret political organization, whose pur-
poses are most infamous and reasonable,
and says that developments may swiftly
be made which will startle the most apa-
thetic.
An old gentleman who has recently
arrived here from East Tennessee, re-
ports that speech was made in the town

in which the speaker, secessionist, sta

would probably take measures TO restore
the State TO the Union. How heartily
we would shout, Welcome back, North

PHILADELPHIA, July :


The Washington Republican of this
evening says it is certain that Lee ia not
far in advance of Meade as the public
has been led to suppose. We cannot ex-
pect to bag Lees army until after an
other campaign. A despatch received
to-day states that Lee is moving by
the Strasburg and Stanton route
If this is true, he intends doubtless, to
retire upon Richmond. In that case our
army could occupy Fredericksburg az o
base, and cut off the Gordonsville rail-
road, which is highly important to the
rebels. Meade is pushing forward &C.
lively, and the winding up of the cam
paign in this quarter win be decided In
very few days. o
General Gilmore on the 18th inst. had
pushed forward to within six hundred
yards of Fort Wagner, on the northeast
end of Morris Island, which brought him
within about eighteen hundred yards OF
Fort Sumpter. He has with him the
same heavy guns with which he battered
down Fort Pulaski, and when Sumpter
is invested, also in the direction OF Stone,
the attack will commence.

The notorious Gen. Geo. w. l.. Buckley,
the founder of the order of the Knights
Of the Golden Circle, was srfssied at
New Albany, Ind, the other day. His
portfolio contained letters syan parties
in Memphis, Lynchburg, NTs Va md
other points, directed 10 Gen. Buckley as
aMsjor General" Of the Order. Also a
copy Of the "Degree Book of the Order;
card on which is printed sn explana-
ton of the signs, grips, &c, of the Order:
another card on which is printed, in red
and blue, the Confederate flag, with the
letters ak. G. c." on each bar, the name
of "Gen. Geo. Buckley" being printed
on the top.
The General was locked up in the
Louisville Military Prison. Buckley is
su impudent humbug, as well rs con-
summate rascal He visited Southern
kentucky during the summer of 1850,
for the purpose OF organizing his clan of
Villains, knownss knights of the Golden
Circle. At one of his appointments he
was confronted by Union speaker, who
denounced him 10 his face, as swindler,
and fairly skinned de General alive
Buckley took sick and fed pricipitately, as
the crowd was disposed to lynch him.
In speech which he made in Hopkins
vile, we heard him state that there were
at that time over 10000 knights in Indi-
ana, and about the same number in Him
ois, and Ohio We supposed Il At the
fellow was lying, fer the purpose
of inducing persons to join his order, but
subsequent developments have induced
US TO believe his statement. During
Bicklsy's missionary tour through this
part of the country, he was accompanied
by woman, whom he passed for his
wife. SO great was the enthusiasm for
the ilIustrious knight that he was re-
ceived into the best Southern Rights fam
lilies, honOred with elegant dinners and
supbers, and was the earessed roommate
OF fashionable rebellious Young ladies.
1t turned out very soon that the woman
was Dot only Bickley's mistress, but a
mos, accommodating prostitute. There
was much excitement in rebel upper,en-
dom when this discovery wac made, and
Mrs. Gen. Buckley was suddenly drop
ped. The next we heard of Buckley was
through an advertisement in the Nash
vile Onion d american, few weeks af-
Ter, publishing him as cheat and i'm
poster. he is no doubt spy, an in
former, conspirater. and traitor, and
we hope that the authorities will give
him the benefit of a speedy rope.

HIS Ercellency jefferson Davis
Sw-Under the authority and in
structions of your letter to me of the
I'd instant, / proceeded on the mission
therein assigned, without delay. ***'*s**
The reason assigned for the refusal of
the United States Secretary of war, to
wit: "thst the customary agents and
channels" are considered adequate for
all needful military communications
and conferences" to one acquainted with
the facts, seems not only unsatisfactory,
but very singular and unaccountsble;
for it is certainly known to him that
these very agents, to whom he evidently
alludes, heretofore agreed upon in o
former conference in reference to the ex-
change of prisoners, one of the subjects
embraced in your letter TO me, are now,
and have been for some time, distinctly
at issue on several important points,
The existing cartel, owing to these dis
agreements, is virtually superseded, SO
far as the exchange of officers on either
side is concerned. Notices of retaliation
have been given on both sides.
The effort, therefore, for the very many
and cosent reasons set forth in your
letter of instructions to me, to see if
these differences could not be removed,
and If clearer understanding between
the parties as to the general conduct of
the war could not be arrived at before
this extreme measure should be resorted
TO by either party, was no less in
accordance with the dictates of hum
anity than in strict conformity with
the usages of belligerents In mod
ern times. Deeply impressed rs / was
with these views and feelings. in
undertaking the mission, and asking the
conference, | can but express my pro-
found regret at the result of the effort
made to obtain it: and can but enter
tain the belief, that if the conference
sought had been granted, mutual good
could have been effected by it; ard Ii
