Sugar Planter [West Baton Rouge, LA], April 7, 1860

A Baltimore paper states that the organization of the Branch of the Knights of the Golden Circle now numbers nearly one thousand men, mostly young, and many from some very respectable families. They have an Armory, where they meet for daily drill, under the instruction of U. S. officers. The aim in this association is the invasion of Mexico, and they expect to leave in a few days unmolested by Government, as they will not arm themselves until beyond the jurisdiction of the United States.
