John C Breckinridge ran against Lincoln in the Presidental election,but lost to Lincoln.After the South succeeded from the Union,Breckinridge served as CSA Sec of War,fled the fall of Richmond with Davis and Benjamin,and with Benjamin escaped through Florida to Lola Sanchez's relatives in Cuba-Benjamin went to the Bahamas.
During the War of Northern Aggression,Breckinridge engaged in codes,the Vigenere Tableau(Vicksburg Code),and he created using tobacco farm ledgers.He was known to be a member of the KGC.
When Booth's hotel was searched,in a trunk was found a printed copy of the Vigenere Tableau,a more complicated version than what was used by the Confederacy.

By the time that the K.G.C. became the Order of American Knights they had figured out that the numbers could stay the same as long as the cipher's key phrase changed. This could be in the form of a published letter or phrase in the personals column or advertising section of the newspaper. Or by numbering the first paragraph of the declaration of Independence. The first letter of the word was represented by the corresponding number. The cipher would appear as a card full of numbers, and unless you knew what the key phrase was, it was impossible to brake.


secret message in K.G.C. code would look like this:

22-6-7-15-12-48-18-36-59-K-35
35-51-32-58-8-52-10-67-48-20-41


The Key would look like this:


1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one

13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23
people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with

24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35
another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate

36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48
and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God

49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60
entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that

61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71
they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.


This is true in the Knights of the Golden Circle case that we are decoding, I am sure there are many other forms of code that were being used.

The numbers don't match the words on here, but you get the idea. Number each word of the key paragraph.
 

Booth could pick up a coded message by reading the New York Times or a "K.G.C." owned and operated news press in anywhere U.S.A. He could also receive a message (card full of numbers) via the "Rebel Express" (underground mail route to the South) and no matter if it was intercepted by the Yankees or who handled it, the message could not be decoded until the key for it was published in the newspaper. In this manor the message was useless until it was received by it's intended reader.

Joseph W. Tucker

The Copperheads had numerous important newspapers, but the editors never formed an alliance.( that was reported) In Chicago, Wilbur F. Storey made the Chicago Times into Lincoln's most vituperative enemy. The New York Journal of Commerce, originally abolitionist, was sold to owners who became Copperheads, giving them an important voice in the largest city. A typical editor was Edward G. Roddy, owner of the Union town, Pennsylvania Genius of Liberty. He was an intensely partisan Democrat who saw blacks as an inferior race and Abraham Lincoln as a despot and dunce. Although he supported the war effort in 1861, he blamed abolitionists for prolonging the war and denounced the government as increasingly despotic.

John Mullaly's Metropolitan Record was the official Catholic paper in New York City. Reflecting Irish opinion, it supported the war until 1863 before becoming a Copperhead organ; the editor was then arrested for draft resistance. Even in an era of extremely partisan journalism, Copperhead newspapers were remarkable for their angry rhetoric. Wisconsin newspaper editor Marcus M. Pomeroy of the La Crosse Democrat called Lincoln "Fungus from the corrupt womb of bigotry and fanaticism" and a "worse tyrant and more inhuman butcher than has existed since the days of Nero … The man who votes for Lincoln now is a traitor and murderer … And if he is elected to misgovern for another four years, we trust some bold hand will pierce his heart with dagger point for the public good."

All of this K.G.C. Press??? one would imagine it quite easy to get a special message printed and published.

ALL the words are numbered in the BEALE PAPERS/"JOB PRINT"; ONLY Beale Cipher # 2 was "decoded"... SOME of us DO think the "BP"/"BT" is "CONFEDERATE WAR"-related. "Beale Treasure" is "CODE" for part of the CSA Treasury, used for rebuilding VMI in Lexington, Va. after the CW... dunno. KGC was involved; former VMI grads... FreeMasons (CSA); who could "keep the SECRET"...

this is exsactly like the code we broke with a numbered paragraph. If I were to try and decode this I would start by searching for a key with the same amount of words as the code has numbers. The highest number used will tell you how many words are in the key.

This is really interesting. I have never looked into the whole Beale thing, but the resemblance to the K.G.C. relics and ciphers we have unearthed is very real. Even the method of sending the key much later to decode the numbers. WOW!

from Beale letter:

The papers enclosed herewith will be unintelligible without the key, which will reach you in time, and will be found merely to state the contents of our depository, with its exact location, and a list of the names of our party, with their places of residence, etc. I thought at first to give you their names in this letter, but reflecting that some one may read the letter, and thus be enabled to impose upon you by impersonating some member of the party, have decided the present plan is best. You will be aware from what I have written, that we are engaged in a perilous enterprise – one which promises glorious results if successful – but dangers intervene, and of the end no one can tell. We can only hope for the best, and persevere until our work is accomplished, and the sum secured for which we are striving.

Very excited about this, L.C. Baker
 

WHOSE WHO IN DANNVILLE,APRIL 1865 WITH THE CONFEDERATE TREASURY TRAIN

ALL the words are numbered in the BEALE PAPERS/"JOB PRINT"; ONLY Beale Cipher # 2 was "decoded"... SOME of us DO think the "BP"/"BT" is "CONFEDERATE WAR"-related. "Beale Treasure" is "CODE" for part of the CSA Treasury, used for rebuilding VMI in Lexington, Va. after the CW... dunno. KGC was involved; former VMI grads... FreeMasons (CSA); who could "keep the SECRET"...
CSA Major Edward Sixtus Hutter(cousin to J B Ward of the BEALE PAPERS)was given the personal copy of Vattel's LAW OF NATIONS by CSA Sec of State Judah Phillip Benjamin(who also headed the CSA spy and code network).
CSA President Jefferson Davis (said to be member of the KGC).
CSA Sec of War John Cabel Breckinridge(Freemason & KGC member).
Burton Norvell Harrison,priv sec to Davis(Skull & Bones member)
CSA Postmastergeneral John Henninger Reagan(Freemason)
CSA Col John Tayor Wood,Aide de Camp to Davis.
CSA Sec of Navy Stephen Russell Mallory.
As Rebel KGC mentioned there were several former VMI grads also in Dannville.
So in April 1865 there were KGC,Freemasons,Skull & Bones and the cousin of the publisher of the BEALE PAPERS.
Coincidence?
 

I will now CLARIFY the "Chain of EVIDENCE" from April, 1865 in Danville, Va. as the REBELS "fell"... CSA Maj. ES Hutter DID save the SECRET book of the REBEL Gov't, Vattle's LAW OF NATIONS (was ordered to burn it). Maj. ES Hutter told his brother, FC Hutter (CSA PAYMASTER) about the events in Danville, Va (1865); gave VLoN to his son-in-law... STILL in the Ragland Family possession, as of 2004 or so; NOT sure if it is in FRENCH or ENGLISH. 1885, FC Hutter died (20 years after CW ended in 1865); FC Hutter was the AUTHOR of the BEALE PAPERS/"JOB PRINT", and his cousin, JB Ward was the AGENT for the author... the HUTTERS & JB WARD were grandsons of JB Risque, who had a duel with Thomas Beale, Sr. in Fincastle, Va. "over" Julia Hancock (latter married Clark of Lewis & Clark Expedition in Thomas Jefferson's "time"). Julia Hancock was kin to JOHN HANCOCK of the DOI (DECLARATION of INDEPENDENCE). ALL of this is from MY Research & Investigation (R & I); I live in the Lynchburg/Bedford County, Va. area & have visited VMI... THIS is INTERESTING; LAST book on the Beale Treasure by Peter Viemeister... (RIP; Grand Master of the "Beale Treasure"); CONFEDERATE TREASURE COVERUP: Duty, Honor, & Deceit @ Confederate Treasure Coverup A NOVEL... FICTION based on FACTS; FACTION!

It is also interesting to note that Thomas Jefferson's grandson,Francis Eppes,sold the 1074 acre Poplar Forest in 1828 to William Cobbs.That would seem insignificant until you discover that Edward Sixtus Hutter married Emma(Emily)Cobbs,and Poplar Forest remained in the Cobbs-Hutter for 110 years.
Also information on Sandusky,the Hutter family home:

There is more than one connection between Virginia and the K.G.C. members we have identified on this cache we are working on. There could be a possible link. Will have to do some research to see what's what.

Take a look at the "TALKING TREE" in Dannville,Virginia.
The Knights of the Golden Circle: 2 men continue search for Civil War treasure
Can all of this be happenstance,coincidence,or deliberate action?

We have one like that near Bedford, Va.; place is near Goose Creek SOUTH... found white stone... quartz (square) with ONE drill hole in it; left it there. Copper Pots abound, filled-in wells with white quartz & sand-stones composed "vault-like structures"... call the place NEW JERUSALEM.

HA! When the Hutter family owned & was living at Poplar Forest, JB Ward PROBABLY played there with his cousins (Hutter boys); reading stuff like EA Poe THE GOLD BUG, Lewis & Clark Expedition & OTHER "related" expeditions to the American "South West", the Jefferson-Burr "conflict" (shades of KGC...?). HECK, as youngsters, MAY have explored Jefferson's Woods... dunno.

KGC was in the Lynchburg/Bedford County, Va. "area", SOUTH WEST to Roanoke County, Va. SOUTH to northern part of North Carolina & WEST to Tennessee; NASHVILLE was "HOME". Look for tomb-stones with "LINKED-CHAINS"; think KGC went "UNDERCOVER" as Order of Odd Fellows... dunno.

OK, here's more... Gen. Jubal Early (CSA) NEVER surrendered, retiring to Lynchburg, Va. to practice LAW as an attorney (had assess to Vattel's LAW OF NATION); first met KGC in Maryland or PA, during a battle in the CONFEDERATE WAR. Order of Odd Fellows was shattered (SPLIT) during the CONFEDERATE WAR; KGC went "in" to "build up" (ppl thought it was KGC/FreeMasons...). SOME REBEL officers had KGC "symbol" on horse blanket under the saddle... WAXING MOON with a STAR above it; saw it somewhere.

There are definite links to the state of Virginia and another K.G.C. Castle located there. This outer, inner, circle of men in Virginia, were some of the elder Knights that were very close to Presidents Pierce and Buchanan and Jefferson Davis.
