Now, we were present during this display of ewurnce, and '-nary cheer'1' was heard during Mr. McDonald's brief description of the Chi a ro gathering of traitor sympathizers. No doubt he expected a response, for he made several pauses for the "cheers" to come in; but nolody would take the hint. After describing his own laborsto "produce liar ntoity" in most glowing terms.and telling about the platform being adopted, he then elaborated the "indications" and the "instincts" that had been shown by the musses there assembled, as to whom the "coming man" was that they de.-dr- d Gradually raising his .shrill voice to itloftiest pitch, apparently determined to touch oil' the mine of enthusiasm he had taken so much pains to prepare, and create an explosion that should almost rock our little Quaker City from centre to circumference with its earthquake tones, he announced the name of "GKOKGK It. McCLKLLAN." He paused about one minute (or the "applause;" 1tit all in vain. We did think we saw Klder's lips move, and he may have given a grunt. If he did, it wasn't loud enough to be heard, though it may have been deep "too deep Tor utterance!" Cheers were called for and given, however, when his fifteen minutes' speech was concluded, for the two Macks, by about one hundred persons, who composed half the crowd.

The Gre3t Plot Unmasked. I- - j A few weeks since, we gave an ext.osi- ; tion of the "Sons of Liberty" as they 1 exist in Ilando'ph County, In l-, fro u a ! citi.ca of that County who is a member of the Order, and who knows whereof ; he speaks. S -.'sequent revelations j j throughout the North show that there is ; more importance belonging to this or-1 giVntzation than inot men were inclined 1 j to attach to it. Evidence of the most! j unquestionable character has been a ldu- ' 'cel. showing beyond the shadow of a' i doubt, that there is a large oath bound association, known more recently ns t'.ie - "Order of American Knights." that is : : banded together in secret conclave, and I bound by pledges of their very life ! j blood to secresy, and to opposition to i the Government even to the extent of, taking up arms against it. This evi- ; deuce establishes the fact also, that this ! organization is Southern in its origin : ' ; that Gen. Stirling Price is the Grand : Commander ; that Vallandigham during ! his sojourn in Richmond, while on his way through Dixie, was made Supreme I Commander of the North-we-t ; that i there is a con-dnut communication be- ' tween the m'-mbors of the, two sections; that there is a perfect understanding b.- ; tween them and that they act in cu'dre j harmoiiy. Tiie U. S. D tective P iiice have been secretly engaged in collecting evidence ' ciV, i.r!:itig this nefarious order, since early in the spring, and now have proof not only of its wide spread exNtenee, ; b'it also of its treasonable character to . jn-tifv the (government in the use ot the i ino-t vigorous means for the suppression 1 of t!ie order, and for the visitation of ' con lign punisinnent upon the lea ler. i That our readers may know something of the nature an 1 designs of this order ; we append some of the revelations ; spoken of above. After Vallandigham had established j hi headquarter at Windsor, about the lir-t ol January last, lie issui-l tiie loi low ing circular to the lodges: "lirothers, again renew your solemn vows! Swear at your hearthstones at the altars consecrated to your house hold gods? Swear in the holy sanet ia re where your fathers worshipped at their tombs and by their sue cd memo lies I that here quoting the language of the obligation of the order -T will iit all times if need be. take up arms in the cause f the oppressed of my country. First of all against any armed monarch, prince, potentate, power of Government u-ntrj'tr, which may be found in -arms and waging war against a people or peoples who are endeavoring to establish or have inaugurated a government for themselves of their own free choice, in accordance with, and formed unon. the eternal principles of truth ! This I do promise without re gaid to the name, station or designation of the invading power, whether it shall arise from within or come from without." Here is another quotation : "The time is neai when these vows must be redeemed ! The despotism which lias crushed it- under its iron heel so long ; the (rurt nimetit usuried, which is found in arms and waging war against o;ir noble States, and would degrade them i from sovereignties to the mean condi tion of dependencies of a centralized power." These extracts are in them -elves sufli cicnt. but another is added : "To be prepared for this crisis now approaching, we mut catch from afar the earliest and faintest breathings of t!ie spirit of the storm. To be successful when the storm comes, we must be watchful, patient, brave; confident, organized, armed." MV.! riMi OF TIIK WISE MIX. A meeting of the Grand Commanders of the diil'erent States took place in the 1 j city of New York on the l-'M of Februaj ry last. Its object was to organize an j outbreak on the l'th of March, the day which had been fixed on which thedratt ( for the raising of troops was to be ma le, ; but no definite plans of purpose, owing, i perhaps to the absence of the Supreme Commander of the Northern Section. - were agreed upon. The nanus of the ; j conspirators thus assembled are, howI ever known. They are watched and I may be taken care of in good season. Failing to arrive at any definite con du ! sivn. an adjournment was ha 1 for the purpose of having a consultation with the leader, in exile in Canada West. A : convocation of the Grand Commanders ; of the different States was accordingly j held at the headquarters of the Supreme - Commander, at Windsor, iu the begini idiig of April last. Among thoe in fit ; tendance was the celebrated Abe Mo ; Masters, of New York: Charles L Hunt, ot St. Louis; Lafayette Develin '. of Indiana, and a number of others. , j whose names will reach the public at the I ! proper time.

"I do further solemnly promise that whensoever the principles which our order inculcates shall be assaile I in my own State or county, I will defend thoe prine'q.les with my sword and my life, in wh-ttsoever capacity may be assigned me by the competent authority of our order;" "that I will never pronounce the names of this order in the heiring of any man. woman, or child, except to n member of this order w hom I know lobe such: that I will ever have in most holy keeping each and every secret of this order which may be confided to me by a member, cither within or without the temple, and rather than reveal which I will consent to any torture, evn irt't death ij torture" "I do furthermore promise, that I will at all time, if need be. take up arms in the caue of the. oppressed in my country first of all, against any monarch, prince, potentate, power or government Hi'trjier, which may be found in arms and waging war against a people or peoples who are endeavoring to establish, or have inaugurated a Government for themselves, of their own free dunee, in a -cordanee with, and founded upon, the j eternal principles of truth.

The p. ogramTue agreed upon at the ; Supreme Council, at Windsor, in Canada. ; in April last, as gathered frotn the pro- : cee lings of the .litfereut Lodges, was as fallows: Vallar.digham. at that meeting, announced his determination to secure his election, and represent hi own Con gresaional Disttictof Ohio at the Derm : cratic National Convention, then called to meet at Chicago on the 4th of duly , Starling out with tuis determination, the ; conspirators then resolved he shoul 1 tro t j Chicago wkois vJ?ns. While there lee was to make a speech proclaiming the doctrine of tho or 1 r in other words, pronouncing the existing Administra- ! tion of the Govertunent t) be a power -Usurped, which the people had not only a right, but which was their d itv to ex pe. and if needs be, by five; it was in ' fact, to inagurate a rebellion in the free States, in all of w hich lie wm to be s istalned and snpporte I by the order. Tiie Grand Commanders of the di:ferent States were to be there, each with a thor- , oughdy organized and fully arme.l trained band or bo ly guara. who when assemble 1, whereto form an army eorp tode fend Vallandigham. and by force of arms, ; resist all interference with him This ' step it was believed, would precipitate the people, in each free State into an armed eontlet with each other; an 1 it was to be 1 the signal to the members of the State to 1 unite in open resistance to the lawful authorities. The train 1 ban Is who were thus to be gathered together, where to -go there only in parts or squad, so as to excite no suspieio:t in the localities from which they came. Theinere luhms may regard this statement, considering the appearance of Vallandigham in Ohio be- : fore tiie time fixed for the National Convention at Chicago. as aifording in itself evidence of its unreliability; but. so far from this being the fact, the real state of the case need but be known to make it proof conclusive of its' truthfulness, i The explanation of Mr. Valhuidigham's sudden return to Ohio is to be found in i the fact that he was on the point f be j ing defeated as a delegate to the Chicago f Convention. A large portion of bis own 1 friends shrank from taking a step which i they feared would involve him and them 1 in ruin, and tliey reiste 1, therefore, with : all power and might, his election to that convention. So we'll was he aware of it, and so thoroughly had he beeome satis- : lie l of it. that nothing but his own personal appearance in the convention on the day of its assembling wo A I save him from defeat, that he resolved upon the feat which he performed. He appeard at Hamilton just before the con v ent ion proceeded to election of deli gates, made his speech, and the result was his election by acclamation. This is not a matter of , conjecture, but the most indubitable evidence is at hand, such as can not be : gainsaye 1 either by himself or by his friends, or any one else of the truth of the history thus given of his return to his ; home. As alrca I v stale 1. the programme agreed upon for Vallandigham" demonstration at Chicago, if it were suppressed would lead to a general con fiet between the people throughout the j free States. Members of the order were j expecte I to rise: kill or make prisoners , of the civil and military authorities, such as Governors, commanders of depart- ! incuts, districts, posts, forts, etc.. seize i the arsenals, arm, public property of all kinds, and proclaim the Government overthrown and the revolution complete. ' But more of this hereafter, in its more appropriate place. COMMUNICATION WITH THE ill FHiEN'DS. Under the auspices of this secret or- , ganization, regular lines of Smugglers an I mail carriers have been established, ! and are now being carried on between the rebel and the loyal States. In m tny i instances rebel women some of them of j character and standing in society, and i not a few of them outwardly professing ; to be loyal are engaged in this treasonable business, some of these have been ferreted out, arrested and punished in ' this Department, and others are now m : prison awaiting their trial. The Grand Commander of the order in this State is Charles L. Hunt, a native of this city, but for years the Belgian Con sul here; Charles II. Dunn, holding t ie position of Superintendent of Public Lamps of this city, is the Deputy Grand Commander; Green B Smith is the Grand Secretary, and T. Jeti'erson Jones t!iGran Counsellor. All these have icn i arrested, and (except Hunt) are now- i i confinement in Gratiot, street piisoi Many others who were most active, and holding high positions in t: e order, have also been arrested and imprisoned, or are under heavy bonds lor their good b -'a-vior, and to appear for trial when ciliel for. But for these arrests at the proper time, thus throttling tiie hydra-headed monster before it could culminate iu the trcasonable conspiracy, there would have been, in all unman probability, sa l scenes of havoc an i destruction in this already devastate I Department. A number of those thus arre-t-e I have been examine I tin ler oath, an I not one of them has as yet so far repecte 1 his; oath as to acknowledge any knowlelge or membership of such au order, though enough witnesses arc at hau l and ample proof at com man 1 to establish their membership an 1 participation in the or- ; der beyond all questions. One main feaeature of tine order is thus verified iu the : conduct of its owa members, namely, that it ts3 deliberate system of falsehood and deception. triking at t ae very root of society an 1 government, taking awayall props of safety and protection. A ; largo list of the members of the order in t ie ditfercnt St ;tes is in possession of the Provost Marshal Genet al of this Der-artrnent. and also of the Government at Washington, giving the names of the master spirits and tho active members not only in this Department, but in all States." The publication of that list, and of the ad Jitioas which arc still daily being made, cannot fail to create consternation among the traitorous tonspirat rs. The vote of Maine, as far as returns have been received, show about 15,000 taajority for the Union tokct. 1

The health of the Reg't. is very good, all the boys from Richmond are well. As I have written much more than I intended, I will close, assuring you that we boys of the S4th, are anxious to come home this Fall to elect the best Governor there is in tlie L'nited States, and '-Honest Old Abe," to the Presidential chair. Your most obedient servant. Art. B. Akmext, Co. I, 8dth Begt., I ml Vol. Ths voice of a Brave Veteran. A returned veteran had a conversation with the Kditor of the Pittsburg Commercial a few days since, and during the conference he stated that "in the army there has been, is now, but one feeling. and that is to push the war vigorously Itv filling up the ranks, and a successful issue will speedily follow. Grant will . , . , , . certainly take I etersburg and reduce Richmond, he says, recruits or no recruits; but it would save life, time and treasure, to hasten on the re enforcements. He expressed astonishment that there could be found a man in the North ; itrnfessitio- a rcirnrd for t'.P Pninn r.T ' ,' ,-' . - , , , , e o ir wh ile country, who COlll l as. for a s ipcaion of hostilities at this time, and sue for peace which would ignore wbola of the t'ire? years' war, and : i.i-. c the enemy exactly what tliey asked ; f r in the outset independence. We I in i-t (onq i'T a peace by the force of . arms. Those who advocate the doctrine j . . . i o: peace on any terms, are injuring the i cause more by discouraging enlistments j t'rtn the enemy is aide to do in the field. He sai l that there was but one feeling ' in the army, with scarcely an exception, j that i-. that the present administration ! should be permitted to carry this war j through a s k -essful issue. If the Ad- . ministration bi changed in the o'licial j arrangements of the Government and the army which would necessarily follow, woul 1 lead to confusion, delay, jealousies and possible defe it. To electa President pledge I to the suspension of hos tilities an I peace convention, would be the knell of a depart.? 1 nationality.
