At beholding the destruction of these edi
tices. Bel(ona waved the golden wreath whiol,
she still held in her hands, and vast arm,
ives seen to arise from the northern head, com
pletely surrounding that part of the monster
resembling gold. At this juncture two othe
vast armies sprang forth, one from the newly
formed Hydra, and the other from the two horn
Of the northern heads, were apparently, firmly
eemented together To the army of the two
horns the first named army united, forming one
of the most vast and magnificent armies tn,
world ever knew
Dreadful carnage was produced by the two
existing armies, the one endeavorng to defend
the wreath, the other to dstroy it; the frmer
being supported by vast populace arising
from the united horns of the northern head
while the latter was also supported by large
| popuace, but discord seemed to reign in sheir
midst The sight of the two contending armies
was appalling to the beholdcr. Seas of blood

encountered each other-the shrieks of the woun-
ded and the groans of the dying were enough
to scken the bravest heart, while the booming
of cannon, the screaming of.hells and the sh arp
rattling of fmusketry deeply impressed the lis
tener with The thought that the pale horse and
his rider were executing dreadful havoc among
human beings. The sight was heartrending in
the extreme. l grew sick at the view, and wish
ed to conceal myself from the horrible scene Of
death and destruction which seemed to reign
around, but this being impossible, l contented
myself as best I could.
terrible tumut now arose among the east
ern islands, and upon a closer view, l beheld
black hearted ambassadors sent by the Hydra
to nete the people ofthosc islands to favor its
reasonable doings; but the Goddess Minerva,
who dwelt here, soon slenced these demons in
human form, and declared neutrality which
was to be perpetual.
As / was meditating in my mind over what
had already seen, turned my eyes southward
and there beheld a considerable portion of the
populace supporting the amy of the Hydra
endeavoring to give aid to the army of the
wreath, but were prevented by Midas who en-
deavored to convince them of the weakness of
this army, and the immense strength and power
of his own. While watching in my dream, these
maneuvers | thought heard a tumut behind
me, and turning around, I saw there was much
confusion with the north, and while endesvor-
ing to ascertain the cause beheld almost the
entire populace Of the lesser horn wavering in
their support of the army of the motto, and Civ
ing aid indirectly, though, to the Hydra.
While gazing with unspeakable awe at this, to |
me sudden change Of affairs, beheld two very
wicked personages, one employed by the Hydra
the other arising from the wavering populace !
over which he seemed to have entire contfsl
together through the medium Of
sheets Of parchment as to the support the Hydra
could recieye from the united horns; aad after
some deliberation it was conceded that, party
should arise, by separating the horns, having
each horn to act independently of the other
This being affected, party was secretly form
ID which was to, at some future time, openly
lvow their sentiments by means of ballots, for
which purpose, large amounts of treasure were
)elched forth by the Hydra. These ballots
we're to contain the names of persons known to
1e favorable to the Hydra and his cause, while
ne unsuspecting populace, who were to be dupes
o this party, were persuaded to cast their bal
OTIS under the impression that the persons
whose names were thereon were loyal to the
lorthern head. As l was pondering in my
lream what would be the result should the
eader of the new party succeed in his treason
bie designs, me thought beheld a loyal band,
'earing this parsonage of the northern rabble
o the bar Of justice, from which he relieved
entenee of confinement in one of tie doleful
dungeons of which there were many erected on {
his island for the purpose of self defense, as
veil as, secure asylum'for those who try to s
estroy the liberties of the island After mature
elaboration on this matter by Bellona, this
entence was commuted, and he banished to the {
Iydra. Here he Immediately entered into .
lans with Midas for the over throw Of the mot {
o, by secretly organizing party out of the +
Iisaffected populace of the loyal horn, which,
y great strategy was effected. About this time
ne thought Bellona issued decree that, after
certain time the southern portion of the mon s
ter would not be cleansed of his leprosy, unless
e threw off those newly formed heads, and re-
umed his former position, which power being
.iven him he eonld do, This created great s
among the leaders, and the more q
gnorant class Of the rabble, and they became /
more determined than ever to assist the Hydra
n hertreasoneble designs. This late decree of I
'ellona created great excitement among the
risnds of Hyd ydra inhabiting the eastern islands. i
nd they were loud in their denunciations 7
