The cross-ex- amiuation did not damage the witness in the least, Wesley Trouter, a witness for the government, testi- fied as tollows:—Reside at Shoals Station, Martin county, Indiana; was formerly in the Seventeenth regiment of indiana Voiunteers—discbarged for disability. had been a member of the Order of Kuizhts of the ‘olden Cirele, or Circle of Honor; joied at Shoals Station; there were forty or fifty members in this temple; hed at tended their meetings; their object at first was stated to be to organize and revive the democratic purty, and oppose the administration, and to ascertain what force they could muster. The officers and members raid a great dea! about the usurpations aad tyranny of the government, and about preparing to resist oppression. Some of the members hed rities and shot guns, und iwo | boxes of revolvers were sent to the organization, and a map by the name of Coffin belped carry the boxes, which were marked as jewelry. Towards the last part of 1863 the organization seemed to die, but in January of 1864 the matter seemed to revive,and the members of the Order were notified that a meeting of the greatest import ance was to be beid, and that all should atteod. (ne John W, Stone was the speaker at tbe meeting. He said ‘the Circle of Honor had been reorganized, and wns to be called by adiflerent pame. He al, with bim, which Stom said came from Jef. avis, containing the laws and regula. tions of the Order, The new (Order was cailed Knights of the Golden Circle. He said they were io communication with the Confederate autborities, and that tue Urder was preparing to do # mething that would be felt: thei first organization wan a kitd of feeler. Stone said the organization would make a simultaneous attack upon indianapolis, Springfield, Mlinois, and St. ous They wore to make a dasb, with uct arms as they bed seized, upon the and by thie means arm themselves more completely. Stone said there was po doubt they would be abie to capture these places, as the United States soldiers were mostly at the front. He said that when these places wore seized it would wake up the friends of liberty in Kentucky, Missouri, and else- where, and the organization would ‘then bave such @ standing and character that the career of the Lincola government would be checked. fio reminded them that Old Abe was 80 scaredjthat he stopped the draft, out, said he, we will give him something worse to be scared for than that. He said that Jef, Davie bad three times offered to compromise, but no notice was taken of it: but that now Jeff. Davis, with the as siatence that could be offered him {rom the North, would foree the Lincoln goverpment toa settlement, aud that ‘would bring peace to thie country. ‘The uprising was to be made not ‘ar from the Ist of April. Governor Morton was to be visited before an attack by @ person who signed bie name M. 1), aud be was not to live long a(ter that. Stone eaid he guessed Le would take sick and the attuck was to be made there would bea vance of the rebel armies, aud General Lee w: Washington city, At the close of Stone's remarke 80 fifteen additional members were enrolled in the Orde each man getting two members to stand as sponsors. They were bound by oath to the obligations jaid dowa in the ritual, one of which was to stand by and defend eveb other, and to come with their arms whenever the order for the attack was issued. Those who did not were to be treated as traitors. Some of the men, be‘ore taking the owth, expressed fears that, if captured, they would be shot or hung as traitors. | Stone made light of the matter, od said if any of the Order ehould be captured it was probable that Lincoln's government would soon be notified ti they mast be respected ag prisoners of or Dav: would retaliate, Doth Dodd and Bowles were constantly spoken of ae chiefs in the Order Harrison HH. Dodd, it was said io the Order, would be the vext Covernor. ‘The witoese next went through the various signe, port tions, gripe and colloquies by which members of the Order recognize each other, ail of which exactiy corres. pond with tbat testified to by previous witnesses, and whose testimony tp this respect bas not been published After be bad been in the Order some time he became ao- qusinted with Gheir treasonable designs: he made bis father uc juainted with it, and subsequentiy wrote to Gen.

No fee or reward of any kind had ever been paid or offered for-making any revelation of the secrets of the Order; there was ® person, a little fellow, who came to their temple twice, and who was said to go to and (rom the rebel authorities. The chie’s of the 0 rer eoid the only way to eave the country was to elect Jeff. Davis next President, and todo thie they must arm against the blue ooate, Witneseghad never in any way actod ae detective for the United States government ‘The wembers of the Order drilied, wanted witness to wuem as he bad boen in the army; did not, and never Ucd with them.

Mozart is aiso seriously troubled over it, and rumors are already atloat that they intend to nominate Michael Connolly, who they first centered upon as candidate for Sheriff or County Clerk. This is eaid to arise from the fact that the Mozart leaders are afraid that they cannot control thelr men against Kelly, and being desirous of weakening Tam - many jo some way, propose to ran him agaiost Genet for County Clerk. A few days will determine, They will nominate Connolly for Sheriff if they can hold their men up to the scratch, which just now does not look very promising; if not, he will be set one side and brought out for County Clerk, In the meantime tne quirre! bet- tween the republican factioos does not look very eu- couraging for asetslement between Farmer and Brennan, their respective c«ndidaces.
