THE SENTIMENT NOW.
Passing through this place to-day and having some
spare time, redeemed the evil hour that brought
me hither by talking with several citizens in the
neighb0rhood concerning the terrible tragedies
which have dsgraced for all time to come the coun-
~ OF Jackson. At this time, now that reason has
resumed her place, with but a single exception all
their stupendous madness and criminal folly, were
permitted to commit those cruel murders The eX-

ALLEN PINKERToNs CIRCULAR.
Your readers will doubtless remember that seve-
raj months ago circular was issued by the regua-
tors, at the instance of Allen PinkertOn, in which
the victims of their feigned wrath were denounced
as b0untylumpers, Rebel sympathizers, etc, all OF
which, am assured by the very best OF evidence is
false and have no hestancy in saying that the men
who did II were prompted to do so by the consuming
love of money, much more than by desire to improve
the morals Of the county. myself saw the follow
ing honorable evidences of fidelity to the flag which
the circular would have us believe they hated, to
wit silver medal, which were inscribed the fol-
lowing words :-"Presented to Franklin j Sharks
Co. X, 50th Reg Ind Vols, for gaantry displayed
at Edgefe9 Station, Tennessee, Aug. 90 1862" and
three discharges from the Federal army all the
property OF one poor man, whom they slew. And
those who destroyed his life are as guilty of murder
though some OF them may dwell in palatial homes
as CAM when, with the mark OF the murderer fresh
upon his brow, he was driven away to be a fugitive
and wanderer cursed of God and despised of men,
RETRBUTIoN.
Sitting down to dinner with the father Of the Reno
boys, could not for my life help thinking how Just
the fates sometimes are heard the kind old gem
tleman narrating how this man "A'-one of the re-
Sickness, and how that man "B"-another reSnator
had already gone suddenly, by railroad accident
into the presence of Jehovah with the blood of young
Reno upon his hands. Verify, there is retribution in
store for somebody What need is there for the fair
young sister to execute the terrible threat which her
excitement Occasioned when God is teaching thus
early at the way OF the transgressor is hard" To
Him 6elongeth vengeance, and to Him she can COM
NIT the destnies of the moral desperadOes who took
the lives away from her brothers.
LAURA RENO.
At her brothers house, near by, sought and found
Miss Laura, the lady referred to above. A hOrrd
sketch in the Police Gazette some months ago had
impressed the belief that she a desperate-look-
ing woman, with wild locks hanging far down in
dshevelled masses her mascunely shaped shOul-
ders, with eyes, and mouth, and ears and nose of
termagant, whose outline would be a cross between
monkey and an OK But if my mother who, bid
ding me good-by few weeks ago, bade me by all
manner of means avoid the bad people OF Seymour,
and especially the Renos while was travelling in
Southern Indiana could have seen the little 1.-the
good-hearted, clever girl who furnished me the
articles required to write you this, in
the old lady would throw up both hands with an un-
usually emphatic and interesting, "Bless me" "bless
me" so sure am that Laura's presence would dis
abuse her mind of the ncOrrectness of the opinions
which the papers have caused her to form about the
henOS. AS many OF your readers know, Laura iS
young lady of marked intelligence and rare beauty,
and possessing a pure and stainless soul, warm
hearted, and MISUNDERSTANDING with no Punic
faith-she will make some fortunate man good and
true wife; and If every one of your fair readers
could claim as handsome beau as the young gentle
man who visited Laura this afternoon in that capa-
city, they would all say, 'Please God, how soon?"

Notwithstanding all that have heard and read
concerning the RenOs, have few memories to carry
with into the future so pleasant in recollection
the hour whiled away with Miss Laura Reno, near
Seymour, in the county of jackson and State of
Indiana.
