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.” ~ .

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, :

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.

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.—
