~. M AGAIN.--We have a letter
from "the immortal J. N" dated at Rich
mond, 23d inst, in which he says he will
diff the veil, assume all prejudice upon
himself, and speak for the cause of truth" "
at st. Clairsville on the 4th December,
at Morristown on the 5th, and Flushing
on the 9Th. N
The "Fat Contributor" when here,
said that at the close of a lecture up in
the oil regions, he announced to his
greasy auditors that he was about to leave
their place, never to return, and there
upon there was laundering applause !
We presume, if ~. M. should make
such an announcement when next here,
it would be received in a like manner.
The philosopher informs us that he had
an interview with jeff Davis in. Rich
mond, that jeff. treated him kindly, and
thinks he (J. NJ has a correct view of
the war.

THE KNIGHTS or THE GOLDEN CIR
Gle" OR "SoNs OF LIBERry.n-Some
of the Copperheads of this town have de-
MED that secret society, hostile to the
war, existed in this County. We have
been well satisfied that such an organi-
cation did exist in this County, and a
few days ago were handed book con-
tanning the oath of that society. The
book belonged to well known Demo-
erat, and was lost by him. 1t Is now in
our possession, and we are prepared to
demonstratethat what follows is no fixed
up electioneering trick on our part but is
true copy of the oath taken by the
members of that reasonable organiza-
ton.
The following Is the oath:
"You do solemnly swear that you will
keep secret all matters that may be
known to you touching your application
for membership in this order, which you
have applied. So help you God.
QUESTIONS. r..f-.
"Quest. 1st Do you believe the bible
and the obligation OF an oath?
"Qtest. 2d. Do you believe this war
as conducted unconstitutional, Wicked,
and unjustyidbie
You do solemnly swear that you will
support the constitution of the u. S. Il
the state of ohio and that you will obey
the courts of the land while the same are
in force. And that you will keep secret
from all persons mot entitled to them) the
signs & signals of this order and that you
will answer all signs Il signals without
delay and will resist the confiscation of
our property for the reason that we are
democrats and will oppose this aOar and
that you will to the bitter end maintain
the freedom of the Press Speech and Bal
lot Box and that you will support all
legal democrats in office & in business
in preference to others and that you will
obey all legal requirements of this order
unde, the penalty Of death. So help you
God"
We print the above verbatin, and ask
rejecting people what confidence they
can put in party that will organize such
society in Belmont County? The lit
tie book from which this is taken belong
ed to Copperhead of a distant Township,
and there is no doubt that this order was
organized all over the County. And yet
some of these scoundrels will be found
occasionally whining about prescription
in business" ...

MARTINSvILLE.-M Swart1 '&
Sons have rebuilt their large Machine
Shop, and will soon be ready to COM
meuce the manufacture of machines
The new building, although not so large
as the one burned down, will have a
manufacturing capacity fully equal to it,
on account of its conveniences and
adaptability of structure.
We hope to hear of the success of the
Messrs. Swartz, as they are practical
men and excellent mechanics.
The Furnace, that has been idle and
undergoing repairs for several months,
was heated up last week and is now in
operation. A large amount of money
has been expended in making improve
ments, and this is now one of the most
complete Furnaces in the country.
The corporation has just completed
the erection of Town House and Lock-
up, which has cost the people about S4,-
600. The lower story is divided into
Mayors office and Lookup. The latter
being fitted up with four iron cells of
modern structure. The second floor is
fitted up for council room.
Next spring Messrs, Sweeney, Bell &
Co. intend building an additional Glass
House, in connection with the one al
ready in operation.

The Forthcoming Impeachment Report
Special to the N. Y. Tribune.

special 10 the N. 4. tribune.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-The excite
ment on the subject of, impeachment
still continues. 1t is heightened to-day
by strengthening of the impression
which was prevalent yesterday that a
majority of the judiciary Committee
would report in favor of Impeachment.
There is no doubt that this will prove to
be the case. Mr.. Churchill of New York
has undoubtedly joined the impeachers,
making, five against four. In CONVERSE
ton to-day Member said to Judge Law
renee of Ohio, who is one of the Judici-
airy Committe and strong impeacher,
that he always liked to support majori-
ty report, and he hoped he could do SO
tomorrow. "Well," said Judge Law
renee, "of course, can't violate the Sc
cresy imposed upon the Committee, but
if you vote with the majority tomorrow
you'll vote right, and the House will
sustain YOU" This isadditional evidence
that the majority report will be for i'm
parchment. - ans.

year, erected one of the finest School
Houses in this part of the State;
large three-story brick, the two lower
stories divided into suitable rooms for
the accommodation of the various de-

for an exhibition or recitation room.
An excellent wire suspension foot

posite the Belmont Hotel, where a
complete assortment of hardware, glass
French and American-paints, putty,

as much money on this side the river as
they can after crossing it.
