Hone, he cannot do better than to devote
himself to sueli a task ; and as his primal
effort in such a cause. I challenge him to
reply to this communication.
The only two points involved in this
controversy important for me to notice, are
1st. The claim of the late Mr. Randolph
to the title of Roanoke ; and
21. Was Jamestown settled tinder the
immediate auspices of Sir Waller Rileigh;
and was the country adjacent thereto called
by him Virginia, in honor of the virginity
of Q teen F,liz 1t'th P
On the juhjecl of .Mr Randolph's tfatitf
to the title of Roanoke, it is necessary to
stiiiftthal the river which now4 hears 'the
name, was known in Indian history under
the name of Mora tuck, and that it did not
receive its present appellation until at least
a century after the first settlement of the is
land. The meaning of the word Roanoke
is Pear!, and such was its renown In Indian
tradition, that the main river which fed the
Ocfam r AlWmaiTe Sound, by degrees
reei ied the coinoliuicnt of its name. All
ihe glorious associations of ihe word how
ever belong ( xclii-tvely to the Island. It
was there wto re the pood Indian woman,
the wife ol G niraiiaineo. euici lamed the
first voyagers of Sir Waller. In its w ters
the generous M inteo wjs hapti-i'd a chris
tian ; and it was on its soil w-'icp- lie w is
invested By the command ol R'ii-'!i with
ihe title of nobility, and created I. t I of
Koanoke. Ii was in the deep rcccsos of
I's Vipi-clad grmes that ti e first A qlo
Ameriean saw ihe light of lie ivt n. Tiierc
ihe foundation of the ancn nt ciie of R i
Ici''i," wis laid ; ind it was ilnnc where
an English people lived sulF reil and died.
