Judge Campbell says that "the same night Opothela-yo-ho-la, Captain Walker , an Indian countryman, Barent Dubose , the son-in-law of Tustenuggee , Thelucoo the big warrior, with others, white and red, crossed the stream, and interviewed the hostiles; and promised that if they would come to us quietly, where a warrior had an old gun, a new one should be given him, and that calico dresses should be furnished the squaws, etc. The next day I was deputied to receive them. They were led by the Blind King, riding on a pony. Shrivelled and blind, I enquired of him his age. His answer was four generations of persons had been born, grown up and died, and he was here yet. In the arms of some of the squaws were picaninnies who had been born the day before. The war was ended. General Jessup was amazed to find when we reported to him, that all questions were settled."
