For the Caucasianl
LILLINGToN, n. c., May l9.-Now
in the one hundred and nineteenth
year after the fall Of George Ill.
there rose up among the people many
"ltes" in the land to the west of
Georges realm. in SO much that the
people wrote their names in their
books, and they were called Doug
lassites, Teamohites, O'Ferrallites.
Groverites, Eliasltes and many
others. And the people in the land,
which once was the land of milk and
honey, being much oppressed, did
many strange things. For in that
year the people of one Of the thirteen
tribes, that would not bow to George,
came to their chief city to max la ws,
and while they were yet in the assem-
bly, chamber, messenger came and
sayeth to them: "Knoweth We not
of the death of Douglass7" And they
sayeth, Nay; yet if it be SO let us
restrain ourselves from making laws
this day, for he hath many friends
in our land, and some of them are
in our midst" and it was so. And
when the assembly went not out, but
remaineth yet little while, the
chief trumpeter of the Eliasites,
Josephus, who had lately come from
King Growers treasury, and Samuel,
who had in former days ,aid, "Ccm.
unto me ye men of the order of tn.
great Alliance and l will lead you
from under the yoke of your oppres-
sOr;" and yet he doeth it not; and
the Doctor, who had slain many of
the enemies of his country by his
valiant words of salvation, or per-
adventure, damnation. blew long
and loud their trumpets, 80 that the
people were sore afraid and saith one
to another: "Who hath done this vile
thing" And it came to their knowl-
edge that their servants had done
this Douglass this great honor. And
while the people were yet much
troubled as to what would pefall
them there came into their midst
certain men from the north, who
sayeth: "We be messengers from one
of the thirteen tribes" and are
peaceable, Now, one Of these men
was called Teamoh, which, being in
terpreted, is Douglassite, and they
spake many good things to the peO-
pie. And when they had journeyed
around about the country they de-
parted into the land far to the south
Now, after they had seen that land
and said it is good, they fetched a
compass and landed at the chief
city ::of the O'Ferrallites. While the
Governor of that land had not re-
strained his trumpeters from warn
ing his people of the vile thing that
had been done in the chief city of
the thirteen tribes. he was told of the
wise men, and how that Teamoh was
joined to them, ard that this Tea
moh was an Ethiopian. Now, he
forthwith began to set his house in
order, but while he was not yet ready
an Ethiopian of that city joined him
If to TeamOb, for he was a Tea
mohite, and it was known to the
Governor that he had done SO Now,
when the Governor bad finished his
preparations he sayeth to his SER
wants: Bring the wise men to nv
house for all things are now ready"
and straightway they enter in with
the Ethiopians. Now, it was not meet
for the O'Ferrallites and the Tea
mohites to sit Together in high
places, so when they were come into
the great hall, one of the chief wo-
men, was sorely perplexed and
in making her obeisance to the
Ethiopian she did bend hel
back but "a little," SO it is said by
some. Now when the wise men had
rela ted many things Of their journey
in the Southland and received much
kindness from the Governor, he
sayeth to them all: Before We de.
part into your own country it were
better for you to break bread with
me in order that ye may not faint b,
the way" So the wise men, with thu
Ethiopian, who had joined himself
TO Teamoh, sat down to the grea
feast of the Governor, and it Is sale
| by some that it was a rare feast ant
that the Ethiopians being of a pecu
liar people did not eat but lust .
little" and having small head,
(mentally) they sat at the little enc
of the feast so they could nibble tn,
crumbs. But Teamoh, not yet salts
fed with his appreciation of tn,
Governors kindness, sayeth: "Oh
Governor, thy wines are Of a goodI,
kind and delightful to the throat o
an Ethiopian" When they had riser
up from the feast and said many
things to the Governor, they de
parted into their own country ant
wot not what they had done.
Now, on the third day after tn,
wise men had departed, it began {,
dawn upon the people of the land o.
the Eliasites that an enemy hst
taken away the horns of Josephu
and Samuel, and the other tooter
so they could not any longer war,
the people'of their danger, and tn,
Eliasites were sorely distressed. An,
it was also told that the horns o
!. the O'Ferrallites had been taken an,
no longer were heard in that land
Therefore the people began to say
one to another, "What meanes
thisf" and one answereth one thinl
and another answereth anothe
thing, but all with one accord begal
to say these, our horn-blowers, ar
fools and knoweth not what o
when to blow; therefore we will n
longer harken to them.
But before it was quite certain q
. to what would befan the people, th
