New YORK, Oct. 15.-Judge Advocate
Gen. Holt's report upon the testimony
gathered by him concerning the treason.
able secret societies formed in the Loya
states, as adjuncts to the rebellion, is
published i'll the Eceting Post to-day.
According toths report, this treason.
able order embraces societies bearing
various names, such as Mutual Pro
lection Society, Circle of Honor, Circle
Knights of the Mighty Host, knights
OF the Golden Circle, Corps de Belgyne
southern League order of America
Knights order of the Sons of Liberty
Peace Organization, Star Organization
American Organization, Democratic
lnvincible Club, Democratic Reading
Room, and Mac. G. Minute Men. The
latter title is the one borne by a secret
political association in the State of New
York and other parts of the North.-
Judge Holt says, it would seem to be a
branch of the o. .. X, having substan-
TALLY the same objects to be accomplish
ed, however, by means expressly suited
TO the localities in which it is establish
ed, Tor as the Chief Secretary of the AS
sociatiOn, DR.. R.-F. Stevens, elected in
June last said to a reliable witness, whose
testimony has been furnished, those
who represent the Mae. G.. interest, are
compelled to preach a vigorous prosecu-
ton of the war, in order to secure the
popular sentiment, and allure voters.
The orders in Indiana boast that the
ritual came direct from Davis, and one
OF theSwitnesses stated positively that
Davis is member. The number belong
ing to the order is variously estimated
at from 5000 to 100000, but Valan-
'kgham i'll his Dayton speech put it 5OO,-
10o, which is probably nearest the total.
Ihey are scattered through Indiana, Ill
inois, Ohio, Kentucky, Missouri and
New York. In March last the entire
armed force capable of being mobilized
for effective service was reported to be
340, 900 men. The testimony shows that
arms have been furnished the members.
In Hon. d. w. Voohers' office were
found letters to Ex-senator Wall, of
New Jersey, in regard to the purchase
OF 2Q, 600 Garibaldi rifles, to be forwarded
to the west. Arms were to be furnished
to the order by way of Canada, ,and paid
for by assessment on the lodges.
Much testimony was taken upon the
premises, and the report is full of extern
sive operations in this particular-the
ritual contains broad declarations cf
lhe Federal government to coerce by
arms sovereign State and aver that the
executive officer OF government may be
expelled by force of arms when they
refuse to administer the government in
accordance with the letter of the accept
ed constitution.
The oath declares that member will
defend with arms the principles Of the
order whenever directed by competent
of the order 1t was admitted
by one of the order in Missouri chat on
joining he understood the object to be
aiding and sustaining the confederate
government. He added, the order is
hostile in every respect to the general
government. and friendly to the So
called confederate government. 1t was
made up of disioyal persons
desirous of securing the independence
Of the Confederate States, with view
Of a restoration of the Union as it was.
Other purposes of the order are shown
TO be the aiding of soldiers to desert, ,des-
5ruction of government property, des-
truction of private property, ana perse-
cution Of Union men, assassination and
and the establishment of a
northern confederacy. 4
