' At the regular meeting of the Historical and Scientific Society, held last evening in the Lecture Room of the First Preby tcriaii Church, the event of the evening was a historical contribution from Mr. Frederick Kidder, of Boston, by request of. the Society,, on the 44 Settlkmknjs ox Roanoke Island." V The story of the first attempt to colonize America upon Roanoke Islaud, awakens in the mind of every lover of American history a feeling of the profoundest inte rest. It calls up Raleigh and many other men of distinction men who made their mark, in the word's history, and made the Elizabeth an era glorious. It must have been a picture bordering on the romantic, to have seen the aboriginal Indians in their eaiidv trannincs. and the Enslish nooiemeu m tneir conspicuously gay cos tumes, mingling together in amicable inter course in the primeval forests of a new world. But there is a dark side to this picture two English colonies perished on this island, and perhaps it would be bet ter not to lift the curtain from so dark a fccene. V In 1578 Sir Humphrey Gilbert got the first charter Jfrom-the Crown, which em braced an almost boundless territory, and Sir Walter Raleigh set about a scheme for planting a conlony, which failed, as like wise the expedition in 1583, in which Sir Humphrey perished at Sea. Raleigh w;as fitted by his experience as a soldier in France for so arduous an undertaking. Earljr in 1584 he was enabled by his eu ergy to get under way two barqucsj and sailing -by the way of the Canaries and West India islands they entered the first inlet, its actual site being uow in great dispute, but Mr. Kidder believed it was Ihit'.eras Inlet. The colonists took pos sesion of the island in the name of the Queeu. Here was .abundance of game, fine cedar trees and what attracted tho adventurer's most, an; abundance of wild .i grapej. The Indians met the Englishmen in a friendly manner,; offering boat loads offish, and they in exchange gave them such trinket as thev fancied. What pleased the Indian king most was a .bur nished tiri plate, which ho susicnded around hisineck as au amulet, priziug it most bighljy, as it would ward off the ar rows of his enemies, j The pearls of which the colonists spoke with so much admira tion were nothing, more, than the shells found upon the heath,being without value. The country must have been, a very para dise for the Indians. The climate was good, the waters yielding . abundance of fish, game abounding in the forest and the crops of maize, of which, they were said to raise several a year, and, the melons supplied their wants. This colony only remained sixty days, and on their retnrn carried two Iudiaus. The return of Armi das and Barlow created great excitement in England, aud hundreds oi adventurers were ready .to join in a new. expedition to the laud of gold and pearls. Merchants ami noblemen were ready to furnish the meaus to further the enterprise. But dis banded soldiers and gentlemen of leisure proved not to be the right material to found a colony. In. the uew expedition there were seven vessels, so:ue of them very small, iu which perhaps ouly the most foolhardy adven turers would in our day risk a voyage across the Atlantic. Many men of note were in this expedition; Richard Green ville, a cousin of Raleigh and RalpbLane. mm. V7lIT2U7QT01I. H I KlrTH WAltD. 1 3 y Koventli 'Street.

The father they penetrated the forests in' quest of gold, the farther did.tln Eldorajjh seem from them. Why the word Roanoke was s ilsti tuled for Moratie does not appear clear from history. Mr. Kidder belielc j that it "was of purely accidental or fsijdden- origin. In his conversations with the k Tuscaroras, now 'settled near Niagara . - j,; I Falls, but once the most powerful tribe in Eastern .North Carolina; the word Roanoke was not known to theroj they apply the word Moratie, which; is without doubt the original one. w 1 The unfair dealings of the white! men .'I with the IndiftQE the same j-tory f which has filled the pagc3 of history down if this time, caused the Indians to turn gainst the white intruders, aud they were then cut off from their s'upplics of corn? and vegetables. Lane killed a chief and! sev eral other Indiaus, and captured somej this, added 'fuel to the furvoffhc Indiari. and the colonist were eagerly ."wd telling now fur t lie squadron of Sir Francis Drake.
