a % believe by acy means that all members of » ° —_Mevaily Daily Teanseript, * gations do in other Statea: , ‘ same organization, we have not the slightest ' asserted the right to overthrow by force of expose, Ho sya: . ma , Us tho treasonable features of this organigas ences aeenen ees TUESDAY MORNING, DEC. 6th, 1864. ? TREASONABLE ORGANIZATIONS.—Du ring the recent campaign it was charged by Union papers’ that there existed in this State an organization having the same object, and organized upon the same plan as the “‘MeCielan Minute Men,” and the “Sons of . Liberty,” which were” exposed before the election, in the Kast. That the “Knights ‘ofthe Golumbian Star” is a branch of the doubt. -It willbe. remembered that.investigations before Judge Advocate Holt, show« ed, that all the organizations werbunder the “game government, but had names, obligations aod-constitutions to suit the various localix ties. Those in the Kiet, and in fact all, arme the Administration, if friad was used in the ‘election. Tha same obligation was administered to Knights of the Columbian Star which existed in this State, in the fol lowing language : ; “That you will advocate and encourage the maintenance of the Union so long as ‘th same can be continued upon princtptes of equal and exact justice to all but should the next Presidential elvetion result in no change of Administration, and the same to be perpetuated by fraud and corruption at the ballot»bex and force of arms, then, believing that resistance to tyrants is obedience to i i hresards-4 to defend, maintain and perpetuate our libs erties, . It will be remembered that just before the election a letter was written to this State, in which the writer said that whether there was fraud in the vlection or not, it would be charged, and that it would be made the pres text for vielence; and also naming the States where the outbreak would originate, New York being one. In addition to the above, an obligation was taken to obey the superior officers of the order. The expose given of the Knights of the Columbian Star might be doubted were it not for the fact that Beriah Brown, Governor General of the order, and ‘editor of the Democratic Press, neither denies the exist+ ence.of the order or the truthfulness of the “We would like to have any ove who feels an interest in the subject, point out to tion as published. We have looked it over carefully, but have been wiable to discover the treason imputed to it.” Were it true that no such order existed, and that Brown was not the Governor-General of it, would he not deny his connection therewith? Now, as to the treason, “we have published above a part of the obligns tion, pledging members to -use force for the overthrow of the Administration, it elected by fraud,, aid the pledge to obey superior Officers.. ‘Brown, and all copperlyead editors have been charging that Lincoln was elected by fraud, and thus preparing the minds of their followers for his overthrow. Again, no sane man believes thar all the ritual of the “Knights of the Columbia Star's given ‘in the expose. They would be the veriest fools upon earth to place upon record their entire plane and purposes. Such a thing is never done by any secret organi¢ation.— But does any man believe that because arms are net mentioned in the expose, the mem~ bers of the “Columbian Star’ were not armed? Does anyone believe that because all the correspondénce and the ofders issued by Governor-General Brown during the last campaign are not made public in the expose, they were never issued? Does any one believe aftet reading the obhgation und the constitution of this order, and then temembering the facta that wWete made public in this and other States, that there was no treavon in the organigntiont We believe that all these organitations are treasonable, and had not the traitors connected with them been overawed at the last election by the fact that Union mén everywhere wete pres pered to meet thein either with “ballots or butlete,”’ the plot Would have been develope . on the day of electiun. ‘The movertient from Canada wae a patt of the plan we doubt not. But Butler at New York and the vigs Hance of Union men elaewhere, ‘nipped the plot in the bud,” and tho. purposee of the couspirators wef thwarted. We do! tot the Democratic party are membets of these organizations, for in this State there are nut over 16,000, but the “Columbian Star’ evntrole the party ih thie State aa like organiIn the light of these develbpmenta it be. comes the duty of Unidh men not to abate one whit of the vigilance used in the late womeriber that “eternal vigilance is the price of liberty,” and if we Iull ourselves into fancied security now that the contest is closed, we may be aroused when unprepar« ed, to combat the traitors who are bound by the obligations of the “Koights of the Columbia Star.” ~ . a“ Unitep*8fates Loans:—Persons in this State who have spare cash cannot do better.than to.investin the United States Goveroment loan. Thete are two loans, says the Bee, for which D. W. Cheeseman, . ized to receive subscriptions. The first is the-1040 five per cent: loan, the bonds for whichgre issued under Act of Congress of March 3d, 1864,° which provides that all ‘bonds issued under this Act shail be ex. empt from taxation, by or. under any State or municipal authority. They are tebe redeemed in coin, at the pleasure of the Government, at any period after ten and within forty years from their date; and uutil their redemption,.five per cent intdétest, in coin, will be paid, semi-aneually, on bonds of $500 or more, and annually on bonds of less denominations. Coupon bonds for this loan are issued in sums of $50, $100, $500 and $,1000. Subscribers to this loan con pay in legal tender notes. At their present value a little less than $1,000 in guld will secure $2,000 ofthe bonds. The subscriber to the loan in reality makes an investment of his money for from ten to forty years, where it bears ten per—cent-—interest per annum, payable in gold. Besides this, money so invested 19 exempt from taxation, which in this State is equal to almost three percent: more. It Will thusbe seen that no better chance for a permanent investment offers, and this opportunity will doubtleis be embraced by persons of means who wish td invest so as to be in receipt of a regular —income.—= Twenty thousand dollars in gold invested in this loan will secure an income of $2,000 per annum, and be free from all taxation. A circular from Mr. Cheeseman informs us that he is alsoauthorized to receive subscriptions for the coupon treasury notes, payable three years from August 15, 1864, with interest payable semivaunually, ‘at the rate of 7 3510 per cent. per annum, principal and interest both to be paidin lawful money.— These notes will be convertible, at the ops tion of the holder, at maturity, into 6 per cent. gold bearing bonds, payable at any time after five, and within « twenty years from their date, at the pleasure of the Government. ‘They will be issued in denominas tions of $50, $100, $500, $1,000 and $5,000. These notes are exempt from taxation by or under any State or municipal authority. Beth these loans are beiug rapidly taken in the East. “Bia TUNNELL Quartz MINING Cum. PANY."—Tho claims of the “Big Tunnel. Company” are situnted on Little Deer Creek, above the French Mill. The company has commenced operations. The object is to work the quarts already known to bo los cated there,-and to fairly prospect that part of the county. That district is crossed by a number of ledges all ruving parallel. A double track tunnel is tobe run into the biil 80 as to croes all these ledges, and each one if found to pay, may be worked separately. A contract has alread y been let for one thou« sand feet and the contractors will soon be at Work. Nearly all the stock has been sold and is in the hands of citizens of this place. This is a good enterprise, and we hope those engaged in it may meet with abundant success. Twoor three companies of. this kind, organised fur prospecting the quartz ledges in this county would soon develop ite re~ sources and “bring to light the immense wealth that lies buried beneath our bills, without the expenditure of a large amount of inoney. : AN African lion in the Zovlogical Museum in Brussels wae so great a sufferer irom a disease in its feet, that a surgical operation recently became necessary. ‘This-wus done by @ veterinary surgeon and his pupils at some risk, and by mechanical Contrivances. The lion bore the operation well, with now and then a roar when it felt the knife; the general goed behavior being attributed to the circumstance that a keeper, sat near its head, and endeavored to enim it by talking, evidently not without effvet. Koorenal Prices.—The lollowing prices rule at Kootenai, as reported by the Lewiston Age: Flour, 36c ; bacen, 750; sugar, 50¢; coffee, 570; beans, 60¢; tea, $2; whisky, scarce at $12@ 8l5 per gallon ; all kinds of dry goods very scarce, : Tinie Tue Oxford Democrat tells of an old lady in Lovell, Maine, widow Hanoab Andrews, who has reared thirteen children and who bas two huadred and thirty-five decendants.

BY TELEGRAPH TO THE Nevada Daily Transcript, The Great .Victory in Tenmessee Confirmed ! !! REBEL’LOSS 5,000: WASHINGTON, Dec. 1st.—Richmond ‘pa“pers publish deapatches from Augusta to the 20th stating Sherman had not appeared there. They think he is baffled in his march eastward, — Official dispatches confirta the report of a great victory in Tennessee. The rebel loss 5,000, including 1,000 prisoners cap~ tured. Our loss 600. Richmond. The Tribune correspondent says Custom authorities at Collingwood, Canada West, have seized boxes containing gun carriages, and grape shot for18 pounder. Guorioug News From THe East.— From the Union of yesterday, we obtain the following’ items: Recent news from the James indicates an early movement in that quorter. The military railroad has been ex« tended two miles to the left. The rebels observed that Grant was massing troops at that point. Butler, itis said, intends throwing. shells into Richmond. The rebel papers give nothing later from Sherman. The authorities expect to hear from him soon. by way of Savannah. The New York Times special dispatch dated Nashville, Nov. 30th, midnight, says : the enemy at 4 o'clock, Pp. mM. made a heavy attack at Franklin, eighteen miles south< west of Nashville, with two corps, but after persistent fighting were repulsed at all points with the loss of six hundred killed and wouns ded,and one thonsand rebel prisoners. One Brigadier General was* captured. Our Joss was about fifty. ‘ Twelve thousand Union prisoners con fins ed at Salisbury, N.C. attempted to escape on the 24th ult: They killed two of the rebel guard but were held until a force of artillery came and the revolt was suppressed. Our men were. without arms but fought bravely until forty of them were killed, Joseph Holt, of Kentucky. has been appointed to fill the vaeancy occasioned by the resignation of Attorney General Bates. A good selection. ne PRINTING BANK BILLS —Bank bills are printed in colors, as a guard against counterfeiting, by the photographic process. If a billie printed partly in red, the counterfeiting photographer must remove the red: before he photographé the rest of the bill, and the red must then be printed in. The colors formerly used could all be readily re» moved, but it was suggested by an eminent chemist that the sesquioxide of chromium would be found as permanent as the black carbon ink. This pigment bas accordingly been adopted, and hence the ateat quantity of green observable in. modern bank notes, especially in the United States Treasury notes. The sesquioxide of chromium resists the action of all acide, excepting boiling nitne acid, that destroys tke texture of the bill.— The only way in whieh it can be removed is by sapenifying the oil which is employed as a medium to attach it to the paper; and as the same medium is used for the carbon ink, if one is removed they both go together. — The green is printed over the black, thie method being considered a perfect safeguard against counterfeiting by photography.—
