THE CROATAN INDIANS.
Aa Eloqaeot Plea ia Their Behalf in the
House of Representatives by Hob. '
John D. Bellamy.
In support of his bill for a Govern
in nt appropriation for the, support
aud education of the Croatan Indians
of North Carolina, Hon. John D. Bel
lamy, iu the House of Representa
tives, delivered, February 2d, the fol
lowing eloquent speech:
Mr. Chairman.I had the honor some
time since of introducing into the
House a bill providing for the educa
tion and support of children of the
Croatan Indians of North Carolina.
On yesterday the Chairman of the
Committee on Indian Affairs
very courteously accorded to me an
opportunity to address -the committee
upon the subject. Several of the
members -requested me to reduce my
remarks 10 manuscript and to present
them.

Indians should receive Government
consideration and protection, that
they might acquire fixed abodes and
by civilizing influences they might, in
the course of time, become co sharers
in the blessings of a free Government
The last tribe left lingering on the
scene of these once royal domains is
the Croatan s or Hatteras Indians, in
habiting the State of North Carolina,
about 60 miles from the seaboard, in
the counties of Robeson, Scotland,
Richmond, and Columbus, and there
they have been for a period to long
that the "memory of man runneth not
to the contrary thereof." That they
have not claimed the attention of the
National Government before is a mat
ter which excites great surprise aud is
hard to be explained, unless the small
ness of their number and the lack of
education and enlightenment among
them, and the want of pr p-tr philan
thropy amoug their neighbors, has
caused them to be entirel) overlooked.
And yet the public mind has been di
rected to them on more than one occa
sion when they bave shocked the coun
try by some atrocity which is incident
to the Indian character.
There are in toe settlement in Robe
son county, where they chiefly reside,
about 3 000 souls, aud 'with the scattered-families
in adjoining counties
the number may run to z,WO more,
making the tribe about 5.000 people.
A number of them have migrated to
Georgia. Mississippi, and Florida,
where they bave become absorbed in
the body politic. They are the most
interesting people in America, and no
trioe can appeal stronger to the tender
sympathies and the generous benefi
cence of the American p-ople than the
Croatan Indians of North Carolina.
They, beyoud cavil or doubt, are the
descendants of the lost colony of Sir
Walter Raleigh, about which there
have been for over three hundred
years so many sad refl-ctions
Those at all familiar with the at
tempts at colonization made by our
English ancestors may recall the ef
forts of that gallant knight and learn
ed and ambitious favorite of Queen
Elizabeth.
Not only could Sir Walter throw
his cloak on the wet ground that it
might serve a footcloth for the dainty
shoe of Elizabeth, but he sought to ex
tend the domains of her Most Gracious
Majesty that her reign might become
memorable in the annals of history
and her Empire strengthened and en
riched. Iu the year 1584 Raleigh fitted out a
fleet of ships under Amadas and Bar
low and discovered the country that
is known as North Carolina, but then
called Virginia, in honor of the virgin
Queen. - Soon thereafter he beganto
make efforts to colonize the new Eldo
rado. Two attejnpts railed; but un
daunted, in 1587, in three ships under
John White, whom he appointed gov
ernor, he sent over 117 persons, in
eluding seventeen women, and of the
fate of these people nothing is known
or has been discovered with absolute
certainty from, that day to this, unless
this is shown by the remarks 1 Shall
now make, and which was first at
tempted by my old friend and pre
ceptor, Hamilton .McMillan. These
117 colonists were left on Roanoke
Island, near the "harbor of Hato-
rask," and there, on August 18, 1587,
the daughter of Governor White, the
wife of Ananias Dare, gave birth to a
daughter, the first white child born
on American . soil, and named and
baptized, in honor of Her Majesty,
Virginia Dare.
The ships, leaving the colony, re
turned for supplies and recruits, but
when they reached England the King
dom was agitated by a threatened in
vasion from Spain. Afterwards the
I when peace was once more restored Ra
leigh looked around to provide for the
relief of his colony which he had planted
in the new world a few years before.
cut it was not until iosu mat uovernor
White was dispatched to their rescue,
and when he reached Roanoke, in Au
gust, he found the island deserted ; no
trace of a human being could be found.
but-at the site of the village where the
settlers were left nearly three years be
' fore there was found a tree which had
been deprived of its bark and bore, in
clear and well cut characters, the word
f 'Croatan
iThere had been an understanding by
Whit with the cnlnnista before leav
ing that if they should remove their
location they should carve on a tree
he name of the place to which they
had gone; and if they were in danger
pr sore distress they should carve a
cross above the name on the tree.
.White finding the absence of 4he cross
was buoyed with the hope of their dis
covery, but after all efforts to trace
them had proved fruitless, he was
forced to abandon the search and re
luctantly returned to England.
I "The lost colony was never heard of.
and their sad fate is a matter of deep
and pathetic interest to the American
people. Whether they went to Croa
tan voluntarily or wnetner tne men
were massacred and the women taken
or wives, or whether both men and
women intermarried with the Hatteras
Indians, is only a matter of conjecture
But one fact is known, and that is that
Lawson. in his history of Carolina,
written in the year 1714, imparts to us
that
I "The Hatteras Indians, who lived on
Roanoke Island or much frequented
it, tell us that several of their ances
tors where white people and could talk
n a book, as we do; the truth of which
confirmed by gray eyes being found
'requently among those Indians and
others. They value themselves ex
tremelyfor their affinity totheEog
lisb, and are ready- to do them all
friendly offices It is probable that the
settlement miscarried, for want of
timely supplies from England or
through the treachery of the natives,
for we may reasonably suppose that
the English were forced to cohabit with
them for relief and conversation, and
that in the process of time they con
fined themselves to the manners of
their Indian relations, and thus we see
how apt human nature is to degen
erate." Long prior to the Revolutionary
war there was found settled near Lum
ber river, in Robeson county, N. C,
a tribe of Indians. Many of them had
blue eyes, and while possessing alJ
other traits and characteristics of In
dians the copper color, the high
cheek bone, the erect form yet they
lacked the nomadic habit. They were
settled in a neighborhood where they
still remaiD, then, aa now, cultivating
maize and potatoes and fruits. Their
traditions then, aa now, were that
their ancestors, Indian men, "married
white women ; that tbey came from
jk auoKe (in Virginia, they say); tbaf
ihey were driveu away by bad Indians,
ai'ti, as one now aooui 0 years of age
told 3 Our speaker, that they we r
dtiven across the river. Most of them
own their land, which they either
bought from the early settlers who,
on account of the Indian, being al
ready in possession, quitclaimed it for
a nominal consideration or obtained
it by an entry and grant from the
Commonwealth. The uames of the
1 17 lost colonists are Mill preserved in
TT 1.1.. TT'l trr
jjl-kiuji, v uiume xil, wnerein is
given an account of '.'The fourth voy
age made to Virginia with three ships
ia the year 1587, wherein was trans
ported the st-cond colony."
From the list of names are manv
auu earnest urnes oorue
by men of this tribe, such as Johr.
Smpson, Robert Wilkinson, Henry
Berry, Richard Berry, John Burden,
Henry Dorrel (Dial), John Cheven,
William Berden, and many others.
Thus it i seeu that their blue, eyes,
the tradition of the white mothers, the
locality from which they came, the lack
of the nomadic habit derived from the
infusion of English blood, the si mi
larity of names, the tradition of being
driven by the bad Indians across the
river, doubtless by the warlike and
hostile Tu&caroras, who inhabited also
the neighboring coast country, prove
conclusively to the student of the ques
tion that the lost colooy of Raleigh
has been found. They are a remark
able people. It is said by old residents
that some of these Indians were volun
teers in the Revolutionary war. That
they sent two companies, to the war of
1812 is well authenticated.

number of oar oldest inhabitants can
testify. , From the earliest times up to
the year 1835 th-y went to school with
the 'whites, voted and shared in the
privileges of citizenship. But in that
year the constitution of North Caro
lina was amended and therefore for a
period of thirty-three years they were
deprived, not only of the right to vote,
but even of the privileges of education,
until me constitution ot latja was
passed, whereby they became restored
to a citizenship and to school privil
eges of the most meager character, but
sucn as otner citizens enjoyed.
They were not permitted to attend
the scnools for whites, and therefore
were forced, if they received any edu
cation, to attend the negro schools.
They refused to a very great decree.

iney now nave for the negro, the edu

through the instrumentality of Ham
llton McMillan, Esq , the legislature of
INorth Carolina, in 1887. gave them
separate schools of their own.
At the breaking out of the hostilities
between the North and the South in
18b'l these people, grown up in ignor
ance, but quietly cultivating their
little farms, were rudely awak
ened by the Confederate author
ities , conscripting them and using
them : as laborers to build the
immense sand fortifications at New In
let, on the Cape Fear River, known as
t ort Fisrier; the same fortifications so
celebrated as having been the scene of
the greatest naval bombardment of the
world s history, as compared with
which an officer who was at Sebastopol
said:
"The siege of Sebastopol as compared
with the siege of Fort Fisher was but
child s play."
The work was hsrd, the Croatan
murmured; he then deserted and fled
to the swamps of his native heath
The conscripting officers, pursued
them. Arresting an old Indian, they
asked him why he deserted. He told
them that he did not want to work or
fight for a people who treated him so
unjustly; that before 1835 he voted, he
went to school, but since then he had
been deprived of both, and that he
would neither work nor fight for the
Confederacy. And thus it was they
were arrested and deserted. When at
the close of the war many of them
were in hiding, they committed acts of
depredation, for which they were
properly outlawed, and then arose
the band known as the Henrv
tserry iowery gang. or years
they became a terror to the coun
try,, and in the early seventies
this band of Indians shot down and
killed twenty seven white men rom

There is still much ignorance and a

them, but it is because they know not

Brave Idem Fall
Victims to stomach, liver and kid
ney troubles as well as women, and all
feel the results in loss of appetite,
poisons in the blood, backache, nerv
ousness, headache and tired, listless,
run-down feeling. But there's no
need to feel like that. Listen to J.
W. Gardner, Idaville, Ind, He says:
"Electric Bitters are just the thing for
a man when he is all run ; down,' and
don't care whether he lives or dies.
It did more to give me new strength
and a good appetite than anything I
could take. I can now eat anything
and have a new lease on life." Only
