him was Mr.. Tobias Knight, Secretary OF
the Province. Some years latcr while
occupying the same office under Gov. Eden
he attracted some attention by furnishing
a place of storage for the stolen goods OF
the pirate Teach. A little thing that has
since thrown some shadow on his rcputa-
ton. Gov. Hyde wrote that he would
take care that Knight be fully prepared.
and his Council asked that they might
have time to furnish evidence. Later
the Lords of Trade wrote the Earl of Dart
mouth: we have received no afhdavits
or other proofs against any of the per-
sons concerned" A year later the Lord,
Proprietors of Carolina, were called sharp
ly to task by the Crown in this letter:
My Lords: Her Majesty is very much
surprised to find that several Of her sub
jects have lately been sent here in Gus

commanded to signify Her Majesty's pleas.

to the Governor that he do not upon any

made of the crime, and that proof trans

We might close here our story of the
first battle IN the long struggle that cul-
minated in the American Revolution and
Independence, but for one phase OF the
subject, which greatly concerns u. he
cause 1t involves the good name cf one
TO whom North Carolina owes much.
In 17t1 and inst At Tho cln-n ri -. ,ay
fict We have been speaking Of. there was
a great uprising of the TuscaroraS and
the bloodicst Indian massacre known in
this colony. The enemies of the popular
party at once charged Cary with respOn-
slhlllty for the outbreak, and that one of
the Porters visited the Indians and instiga-
ted the act. 1t was a terrible charge and
ought not to have been made unless sup
ported by strong evidence. It was not
an uncommon expcdient Of desperate men
to destroy their enemies in colonial-times
An Indian uprising was the one thing most
dreaded by the early settlers, and their
sure and bitter resentment would rest
upon any man or party responsible Tor
such a dreadful calamity.
Gov. SpotsWood, OF Virginia, seems to
be the author of the charge. He wrote
to the Council of Trade There have been
S1"tIbi dlLudhito Sill uIIutI " DIOFC
that Mr.. Porter, one of MI. Cary's pre-
tended council, was with the Tuscarora In
dlans endeavorlng by promises Of great
rewards to engage them to cut off all
the inhabitants of that part Of Carolina
that adhered to Mr.. Hyde. The Indians
own that the proposal was accepted by
their young men He wrote substantially
the same to Lord Dartmouth.
Martin in his History Of North Caro-
lima says that after the defeat Of Cary,
They returned on board, and their chief
sought a safe retreat in the spamps OF
Tar river, where he raised his standard
and attempted to bring the Tuscarora In
dams into an alliance. For this pur-
pose be dispatched Edward Porter, one
Of his Council, who endeavored by promi-
ses of great rewards to induce them TO
cut off the inhabitants Of that part OF
the State which adhered to Hyde"
