Corresponondoe 6 of the Democrat.

B. of K. there was goodly number of the B. of F. met together in the great city of Atkins. in the province of Wilson,in the land of Pope.
 And when they had assembled to- gether in their council chamber, Ely, who is the chief ruler oT the Sanhe drim of B. of F. in the province of Wilson, blew loud blast, on B. of F. horn, and told the brethren to come to order.
 And they all with one accord done as Ely commanded; and Ely arose and said: Brethren, it IS good thing for us to meet together in the name of the B. of F. Ae5 .neSsinold : Markus cried with :s ioud voice, and said. Amen! And all the brethren ciapped their hands with joy.
 And Ely, spake again and said Thy servant has learned the myste- ries of the E. of F. and is well pleas ed, that he, and John, who also is of the tribe of Abraham (democrat, have been chosen to visit the great Sanhedrim, which is to meet on the 3lst day of the 9th month, on the waters of Gum Log.
 Now while Ely yet spake, John, who is sirnamed the blind, arose and said: Brethren 1t is not meet, that the children of the tribe of Abraham should visit the great council of the children of Ham (radica.s). Now therefore, 1 John the blind, move that Ely and John, of the tribe of Abraham be cast into outer dark ness; and as John finished speaking, all of the Hamites cried, yea, with a loud voice, and it was so.
 Now when Ely saw that he was stripped of his priestly robes, he arose and said: The Hamites have this night overpowcred us, and now, from henceforth, I will eat no more bread, nor drink no more wine, in this council, for am a democrat fIom the province of Lawrence, of the kingdom of Tennessee. and the children of the tribe of Abraham were we'll pleased with this saying, and gave three cheers for Ely. And Ely has not been seen in the council chamber of the B. of F. unto this day.
 Now Markus arose quickly, and said: We, the children of Ham, have this night, slain the children of the tribe of Abraham in their own land. Now, therefore let us do whatsoever seemeth good in our sight, and all the Hamites were well pleased with the words of Markus.
 l Now, James. the Eye Doctor, arose and said: Brethren let us send a member of our own tribe to the Great Sanhedrim of the B. of F.. and all oi the Hamites erred Yea with a loud voice, and it was so.
 And Osborn arose and said: Let 1 us send our dear brother who was al. most slam for our cause in the Prov ince of Lee, for he was sorely bruised by being placed on blind horse by Hence who Is a wicked man of the tribe of Abraham.
 And Marcus arose and said: Oul brother who was almost slain is 6 man after my own heart, and l pray the brethren to send him, if perad venture he will be able to ride in 6 I Chariot.
 | And Dick cried with loud voice and said: Brethren hear me. 1 will take our wounded brother in my own Chariot, and all the Hamites were we'll pleased with the saying of Dick as he was new man among them. l Now, after these things were done each Son of Ham returned to his own house. And while Markus was yet on his way. he fell as If in trance and while he lay on the ground he called on the name of the Lord and said: Il thank Thee, o Lord for the great things Thou hast done for us tonight. Thou hast enabled us this night to overthrow our enemies ir their own land. Now, ! pray Thee to give wisdom to our afflicted broth CT who we are about to send to the | Great Sanhedrim of the B. of F., and may he set snare that we may slay all of our enemies, and place our own brethren in their stead, so that we may be called the Rulers of the Land of Pope. And while lie yet spake g vision of the past fell upon him and he cried with loud voice and said Dover! Dover! Thou that klllest the Prophets that were sent unto thee, and didst drive me out of thee in days past. How I long to return to thee and have my people to rule over theer
 And as the vision fell from hls eyes he looked and behold the Great Scribe of the B. Of F. stood over him, and said; Brother Marcus thou art a good man, pray thee to come into my mansion and abide with me this night. And Markus went in and abode with him all night.
 And the things that Markus and the Great Scribe of the B. of F. did that night, will never be written in a i book. ONE OF THE BoYs. | Atkins, Ark, June 2d, 1884.
