The Forty-fifth Pennsylvania Regiment is the trip-hammer of Alexandria, which is being beaten into shape, and Provost Marshal D. A. Griffith, of Reading, Pennsylvania, is the master workman.

Four citizens were kidnapped on Tuesday in the city of Reading, Pa., and taken to a Government jail in Philadelphia. The vague charge against them is that they are Knights of the Golden. It is not said that they were in arms against the Government or helping its enemies in any way, but simply that they belonged to an alleged secret society, about which nobody knows anything definite.
