This is the testimony of an intelligent lllinuiaan,

Its hiddeu mysteries and avowed objects. The names

Snry to gam aumfttsuce to the penetralia of the Knights
of the Golden Circle. They are exact transcripts of thjB
ceremonies as witnessed by seven persons who haws
joine the order at the instance ol the Provost Marshal,
and can be reued npou us strtaliyoorrect. It is not ne
cessary to suite how i hey wen obtained, although t^is
tu "rma ion is at the service of the government whenever
they think proper to use it.

When one Knight uieete another, or one-whom he
thicks to be j member of the order, he by way of chal
lenge draws the forefinger of his ted hand twice slowly
ac nan the upper lip, as one would smooth down his
moustache.

1 iha I have visited the lodges of the so-called
" Knights ot the Guidon Circle,'' and have taken tlie
oath of Itie order. I tind tbe object of the organizallon to
be to opioae the present "abolition' war. In order to
artist the r-be.a when on the hattlt Qeld, and convey the
idea that tbe Knights of the North will not injuro those
of the South they have tho foil wing signs ?

Knights pU e their gun* tbe butt upon tbe ground, then
raise it up M eg, let I be barrel rest upon Itllr bressts,
and clasp their hands over tbe back sides of their bead
and give a downward pressure.
2. Tbe Southern Knights. A portion of thern clssp
their bands as above indicated, atgl others place their
right band U|?n their right rbouldor, thus indicating that
all members of the organisation, North and South, will
oversh ot each other.
9 When on a hay -ne: charge, so soon as Utey come in
cloee contai t, the Ki.tglw of tbe North point their
bayonets downwards towards the earth. The rebus,
knowing tbo meaning of the sign, will open their ranks
and admit tbe Knights or the North, who will go to tbe
rear, lay down the r arm.' and surrender as prisoners
Tbe Knights of tbe North also say at tbelr lodges that
they did n* prov-dc- this war, and do bot Intend to assist
In putting down the rsbellion. ? .

DESPATCHES PROM KX-UOVFKNOH SIBI.KV.
[From the St. Paul (Minnesota) Pioneer, August 20-]
Despatches reuoivea yesterday from Onion,1 dtbley,
dated St. Peter,26th instaut, state that he arrived there
with three compauiex of his commnnd late on the even
ing of the 22J. He bad been activoly-engaged . afford
ing such aid to the beloaga, ro- \'l"ig?s us his i/nlled
means would afibrd. Major Fowler, with a command of
about filly mounted men, left for a reconncussauee ou tbe
Fort Rtdvcley road tbe previous morning, by his order,
and returned about two o'eb ek this morning, bringing
with them the bodies or on oid man .and tbe women who
were killed within twenty mil's of St. Peter. M^or
Fowler reports that the destruction of pioperty by Ore
during the day along and for miles on both sides o! the
ma.u roads leading in that direction waa beyond calcula
tion, showing tba'small bodies of tho outmy, suppc: ted
by heavy forces ou their flanks, were t: gi^ed in carrying
out the same systematic plan of murder and devastatkiu
which has marked tbe b.uof progress of hostilities hither
to. ? ? * The mounted force under Major Cullen
reached Henderson late last evening, und tho infantry
under rot. net < 'rocks are supposed to have reached tho
same joint at a later hour.
New Dim wasattucltcl bj tho enemy yesterday, and
the tight continued until late in tho ovening. so that thus
far h -ha 1 received no Intelligence from Judge Flandrau,
commanding 'it that point; but he entertained great appre
henelons ie-r his entire force has beon out ou', and the
town and Its inhabitants destroyed. A reinforcement
of one huudre-1 and twenty, seDt by him to his rolief
yesterday morning, faded to reach him in sea
son, owing to the terry communications having
been de?ueyed by the enemy, a precaution on his part
that deprived Major Flandrau of tho aid of seventy of his
m< si eftlck-ut ini-n, who hod been despatched by him to
this side or the river on a rvconn utering expedition, end
was prevented from returning to aid in the defence of
Mew I dm. Oolocol Sibley was ox> ect;ng information
from that qnartar every h >ur, and if M ijor Flandrau was
still belding out, Oolonel Slbloy would take instant moas
urea for hi.- relief.
Jock Frazer, an old Indian scout, eueaped from Fort
Rtdgelcy on Waiinesiiay nigiit. He reports that the garri
son wa- well suppliad and able to hold out. the only fear
>eiug that tne enemy may attempt to Are the roofs of tho
stone buildt. gs. All- the other houses and st hies
outside have beer dextroyed by the s >vases, wbieh tliey
?ccompli-heit at tho sacrifice of some four or five of their
number killed and wouadad Frazer waa to leave St.

Colonel Sfhley a-In that :he Seventh regiment, or com
panl' a to the number of a full regiment, bo at oucc sent
up, fullv armed aud equipped. They will be wonted, and
more, before this rising is subdued; and the s ioner they
take tho Held the better. He truats that not a single turn
will bo pet milted to lea-e tbe State until the war is so
far euded as to render only a small fores hecjssary. We
'lave probably four thousand or flvu thuusand w.trriors to
meel Umer or later, and as it is a life and death strug
gla on their tart. w? may as well face the facts at once ;
for the season during St"*
conducted on the Plains is very b., ; if6 01

A later despatch, d-ted at half past ten hun lay night,
says the intelligence from New Ulm, up to nine o'clock
on Saturday night waa. that the village was mostly
burned by the suvaipa, hut the occupied portion was

able to hold out nntll the roiief sent by Oolonel Slbloy
