Calvin ]. Rogers. Esq.

We are requested to state that this gentle
man, who is one of the candidates for the
House of Commons in Wake, will be preven-
ted, by imperative private engagements,
from making the entire canvass Of the Coun-
ty, though he will be present at some of the
gatherings Mr.. Rogers however, is gener-
ally we'll known throughout the County. He
stands squarely in favor of the Presidents
policy and in unqualified opposition to the
Howard mendment-Sentinel.
Unqualified opposition to the Howard
amendment" must mean that in no event
will Mr.. Rogers vote for it. Very well. No
one has assumed to bind Mr.. Rogers or any
one else to certain course of policy. AS a
Union man, he is free to do the best he can
for his country. We shall not censure him
for his course, though we regard itas little
singular that he has chosen the Sentinel for
his organ to the neglect of the Standard.
As good deal is said just now by the
Sentinel and Others about the Presidents pol
icy, we beg leave to present the following
letter to Gov. Sharkey, as embodying part
of that policy:

Friday Evening, Nov. 2, 1866. J


CoTroN-The market has been considerably I'M
settled to-day. At the opening yesterdays quo
tatons were freely accepted by buyers, and
before meridian an advance of fully &c. u ID was
fully realized upon all classications of the lead
ing staple. But on receipt of the Liverpool tele-
grams of the LIST inst, quoting decline of ID,
prices fell off, and the market subsequently ex-
hibited a decidedly downward tendency. The
total sales for the day barely footed up $500 bales
which, of course do not include the sales after
business hours last evening, which we reported in
our previous article, and the market closed quiet
at previous figures, which we repeat as follows,
viz: ordinary 30@31c., good ordinary 33@34,
low middling 35013Gc., and middiing 38c. q b.
The net receipts for the week have been. ~ ,406
bales, against $40 bales last week, and l6,507
bales the week previous. The sales for the week
have been $1,000 bales, against $3.50 bales last
week, and IS, $50 bales the week previous. The
| exports for the week summed up only 1892 bales
against 10 443 bales last week, and II $50 bales
the week previous and the stock on hand and OF
sbipboard not cleared, this evening, was l24, 65E
bales against 105 1913 bales last week, and "a 500
bales at the close of the previous week. The eX

THE RETURN.

" ThrC years wonder if she'll know me
limp little, and left one arm
At Petersburg and am grown as brown
As the plump chestnuts on my little farm
And en- as shaggy as the chestnut burs,
But ripe and sweet within, and wholly hers.
The darling how long to sea her!
My heat outIlrs this feeble soldier pace
For remember, alter bad left
little Charlie came to take my place;
All! how the laughing three-year old brown eyes
(His mothers eye3) will stare with pleased sur
prise
Three years-perhaps am but dreaming,
For, like the pilgrim Of the long ago,
I've tugged a weary burden at my back
Through summers heat and winters binding
snow,
Til now, reach my home my darlugs breast,
Where can roll my burden of and rest"
When morning came the early rising sun
Laid his light fingers on a soldier sleeping
Where a soft covering of bright green grass
Over two owly mounds was lightly creeping,
Pit walked him not his was the rest eternal
Where the brown eyes reflected love supernal.

The late Mrs. Sigourney was perpetu-
ally wearied with letters from strangers,
demanding Of her the performance OF
tasks which were frequently as ridiculous
as they were impudent. Thus. as she
relates in letter which forms portion Of
her correspondence, recently published,
she was on one occasion politely invited
through the mail to punctuate a manu-
script volume Of three hundred pages,
because the author had always entertained
a dislike for that kind Of work, finding
that it brought on pain in the back Of
the neck" On another occasion, a clerk
in store sent her an album, which had
been given him by a clerk in another
store, with the request that she would
write in it something for a young lady
whose name be did not know, but who
was, nevertheless, a every rich girl"
Some one out West also desired that she
would write out lengthy sketch" of
the loves Of two persons. one Of whom
was a journeyman tailor and the other
"Sister Babcock" She was frequently
requested to write epitaphs on young
children, but the most heart -rending affair
Of this kind was in the case Of promis.
ing young urchin who had been accident.
ally drowned in a suill barrel.

A Man Killed and his Daughter Wound
ed-The Chief Assassin KILLED.

We find the following in the Memphis
Avalanche Of the 18th:
We learn from gentleman. just from
Pontotoc county. Miss, the scene Of the
occurrence, Of a taagedy which occurred
there last Tuesday evening. Our infor-
mant says that the safety and quiet Of the
citizens in that locality have been inter.
fered with. for some time past. BY the
lawless doings Of small gang Of men
headed by desperate william named Nc
Donald. On the evening above men
toned, about, eight O'Clock, Mcdonald
and three of his clan went to the house
Of highly respectable old farmer. whose
name is given as King. for the purpose Of
robbing him Of a considerable amount Of
money which it was thought he had at
his residence. Mr.. King resisted the de.
mands Of the william to deliver over bis
valuables and money. when the latter
made violent assault upon him and
daughter. who seemed to be all Of the
family at home that evening. After
desperate resistance, Mr.. King was shot
dead at the hands Of some of the rob-
beis, and his daughter severely pierced
through the chest, which will, if not
already. prove fatal. The noise Of the
melee reached the ears of some OF the
neighbors, who proceeded to Mr.. Kings
premises as fast as possible. armed with
guns. The rapidity Of their ap
proach. after the preparation of the ter
rible crime. brought them upon Nc,
Donald and his band before they had
found the treasure which had been the
incentive to the bloody deed. The rob-
bers tried to escape, but two of them
were only successful in the attempt.
Mcdonald was killed and one of his des.
peradoes captured. after being felled to
the earth with the butt Of gun. Great
excitement prevailed in the county, on
account Of the murder Of Mr.. King and
the iendish shooting Of his daughter.

TeCumSeh'S Death.

have heard many great orators. but
l never saw one with the vocal powers oil
Tecumseh, or the same command of the
muscles Of his face. Had | been deaf,
the play Of his countenance would have
told plainly what he said. Its effect on
that wild. untutored, superstitious and
warlike sssemblage may be conceived ;
not a word was said, but stern warriors,
the "stoics Of the woods" shook with
emotion, and thousand tomabawks were
brandished in the air. Even the Big
Warrior, who had been true to the whites,
and remained faithful during the war,
was visiby affected. and more than once
| saw his huge hand clutch. spasmodically,
the handle Of his knife.
And this was the effect Of his delivery,
for though tho mother Of Tecumseh was
a Greek, and he was familiar with the
language. he spoke in the Northern dia-
lect. and i. was afterwards interpreted by
the Indian linguist to the assembly. His
speech has been reported, but no one has
done it justice. l think l can repeat the
substance of what be said, and indeed,
his very words
"In defiance Of the white warriors of
Ohio and Kentucky, l have travelled
through their settlements, once our favor

sounded, but there is blood on our knives
The pale face felt the blow. but knew not
whence it came.
Accused be the race that has seized on
our country, and made women Of cur
wsrriors. Our fathers, from their tombs,
reproach US as slaves and towards.
hear them now in the wailing winds.
The Muscogee was once a mighty
people. The Georgians trembled at our
war whoop. and the dens Of my tribe, in
the distant lakes, sung the proves Of
your warriors and sighed for their en-
braces.
Now your very blood is white, your
tOmahawks have no edges, your bows aud
arrows were buried with your fathers.
o Muscogee brethren Of my mother,
brush from your eyelids that sleep OF
slavery; once more strike for vengeance
once more for your country! The
spirits Of the mighty dead complain !
The tears drop from weeping skies! Let
the white race perish +!
They seize your land; they corrupt
your women They trample on the
ashes Of your dead :?
Back. back, up into the great water.
whose accursed waves brought them to
our shores
Burn their dwellings destroy their
stock slsy their wives and children !
The red man owns the country, and the
pale face must not enjoy it.
"War now War forever War on
the living War upon the dead Dig
their very corpses from the graves. Our
country must give no rest to a white mans
bones.
"An the tribes Of the North are dane
ing The war dance. Two mighty warriors
across the seas will send us arms.
"Trcumseh will soon return to his
country. Ny prophets shall tarry with
