Hytuetime afierwrds, the said Meritt said
to me that he wa-t'd rne to be empowered to
initiate other. There W3S very little sid
abour it at that trne, but sometime aft.'r that,
I can't feMy bow lot f, be, theeaid Miri'.t, w-it
to Raleigh and was enfowcred him-clf, and
then came to me and imp wered n. I wish
to the Lord I had never accepted it, but J
did accept, and shortly a'terwatds there
were four persoi-a led into the crets at my
houi, by t he said Meritt. lait I wss th caujsp
tf their c minjr. there. I wihh to tell the
whole truth ahoiit the matter.
A little whil setter thvt, I think the next
TLtpfday nibt, a neetii!g was gotten up at
Mr. .Si'ap Be, .k-ith's. where t, fie was a nom
ber of iip! ns bd into the ecreta. Throiiah
me sotae of Them were influenced to go. but
o'hersMhmet s. me of the ta!k.nr. I vill
acknowledge my faults, and that 'publicly."
I was ro t preee.ot a' Jlr. Y ( k i'hV, bntjthia
un Meritt clone all that was ilute that niht,
which all my neighbors will testify. All
tl r I done, was d -ne in a short tiuie after
I went into the concern ; for I so..n smw it
vn-uld not do tor ne, apd I abandoned the
can'-em.
The reason all this abuse ia heaped upon
me. is bee? u?e I published a catd and xj o-td
it. And it is stated that some of rhv' neigh
bors tell out, wif.h ma and wct.t bef re a
rta-itrate and cane out b.f.oe I went to
fee the Governor; which I declare is a blark
fake hex d; for no made a nmve until I
leturned Ire m Laleieh aud wtr.t r uial and
t Id tkfju they hd better con e out of i;.
wfvicH they did imnv diately. And I went
with them to Mr. Hea-dereon Council's, ar;
their card appeared with mine in ur paper.
And It is said also in the Progrrsi, that he
waah Sere.-ioT.ist. I do. nt iliink lie is one
of the original, 1 ut is a. grood Conservative,
and I t! i k a Vat.ce m He id the riht
sort of man, aLyhaw. I think I can pui my
linger on the man or men that have gotten up
this piece of f-l.?ad-r agair.-Ft aae: and it wae
d re beeaue I exposed the conce n..
I would say to tke Editor of the Progrest
tl c.t he had better be careful how" he pub
list; Mich pieces aait-at me. f..r he d.jcs not
kni. who I am. J cau estVoiph e a
, -
c h racter as any mau in the whole, community,
R'ul t b - t by the rfp udble n r n of the a tint ryl
I say thi mjtseif. hut when I say it I think I
f-y ke truth. It is said al.-o iu the Vrogr, rs,
that I went to the Governor and fell upon my
ki ec5 rnd asVtd pardon; which is lie of the
deeper (lb ; at d we can iud-je the balance bv
thai. I can prove bj E. G uncii, who wai t
wiiit nie ta ?ee the Governor. -nd.I can prove
!v the Governor I iu.si II that it is a be. Mr.
E. Council is a r s-por.slb'e man and ia my

I arn -orry to my very soul tkat I . suffered
myself to be Ud astra by bad men. Ai d thre

that all thie men v. ho have come out of this

Mr. Ib IdMi. I would say tqjiim if vu want

will testify . But when the tru.h is neces-a?)-,
it shad cotre bom roe. Art' row I l ave tddl

I see that it is thought to he d?rinrn'al tt

If they had t0hi in-that, I wou:d never have

fhonld never do me any harm, neither should
it do them (the yanke h) any good. It in a
per'ect trap: a mnn dues not know what it i
until he gets into it, and then it is too tat.
I now have a bid opinion of all secret socie
ties and think that there is no use of .mv thinf
that is riyht to k kept, secret. I hope" that I
will not be looked upon as disloyal or nntreui
to the Confederacy. I dare say I have fe.
