which is probably nearrs, the truth. They
are nr-ted through Imdianna, Illinois. Ohio,
Missouri and New lo,k. In march last the
~ntir. armrd force of the order. capable If
being noiif.d for effective service. is represent
ad at $4,000 mtn. The Testimony goes to
show that arms have been furnished the
members. In Noher's otic. were found let
tiers to Ex-senator Wall, Of New J.r,cv. in
regard to the purchase Of 10000 Gariballi
rifles to be forwarded TO men. The arms
were to be rwarded by the way of Canada,
and paid for by assessment upon the Lodges.
There was much testimony taken upon this
point. The ritual contains the broad dcclara-
ton Of States Rights against the authority of
the Federal Government to coerce by arms
Sovereign State; evers that the executive Off
GERS of the government may be expelled by
the force of arms. when they refuse to admin
lister the government in accordance with the
latter's accepted Constitution. The oaths
declare that the members will defend with
arms the principles of the order whenever di-
rccted by competent authority of the order.
It was admitted by one of the order in Mis-
souri, that on joining. he understood the object
was 10 firnisll aid to the Confederate Gov
eminent. lie adds: The order is hostile in
every respect to the Federal Government as
now administered, and friendly to the Confrd-
crate Government. The order is exclusively
made up Of dsloyal persons, DESTROYS of pre-
serving the indtpcnd, nee of the Confederate
States with a view of restoring the Union as
it was. The purposes of the order arr shown
to BE- aiding soldiers to desert, the destruc-
ton Of Government property, the persecutio
OF Union men, assassination, and finally the
establishment of Northern Coniederacy.
New York, Oct. ia letter purporting
10 have been written by the rebel Vice Pres
idcnt Stephens. in reply to a letter from Sew
eral Of his felIow-citizens is published. He
says no person is more ardently DESTROYS for
the end of the war than he, but it is not in
his power, nor theirs to bring it about. He
says a recognition of the Sovereignty of the
States is the only solution of the trouble
The idea of maintaining the Old Union Or
any Union by force is preposterous. The
subjugation of the South by the North would
involve the destruction OF the Constitution
aud overthrow their liberties as well as ours.
Any peace growing out of a Union of the
States established by force, would be as ru-
nous to them as to us.
The Chicago Convention as far as the
platform goes presents ray of light which
under Providence may prove the dawn of a
day to this long cherries night. 10 Con-
vention Of States for adjustment of our diff
cultics, have no objection.
