THE Rock ISLAND SoUATTERs.-Thc
Preess d: 1ribune's Washington correspon.
dent, writing under date of January Goth
says, that Secretary Thompson has decided
against the presumption claims of the squat
ters on the Island The decision is that the
Island is still military reservation. and
cannot be sold without an act Of Congress
authorizing such sale-the law of the last
session having taken away the power to
sell. This, it is presumed, will be sort of
damper upon the golden dreams of the
squatter soverigns on the Island. though
they appear nothing daunted. but express
their determination to stay there and fight
the matter through in the courts. They
rely upon Judge McLean's decision in the
Bridge case. IS their authority.

T A portion of the ministerial
force Of the city Of Dubuque is yet en-
gagged in raking up the character of Mr..
Judas Iscariot, formerly of the city of
Jerusalem, into whose hands certain monies
were placed in trust the same wretch who
for thirty pieces of silver betrayed his Mas
ter. 1t seems that there is Dubuque
preacher, who rather sympathizes with this
Mr.. Iscariot, and considers him much
abused man. Probably the defender of this
hypocritical Jew Is near relative, who is
not one who would willingly set still and hear
the name Of his great ancestor traduced to
such an extent.

FIRE.-INCENDIARIsM.-OnS Sunday
night at about half past eight o'clock an
alarm Of fire was given. The fire was in a
large pile of seasoned fencing lumber
amounting to some $4,000 feet, and situated
on the bank Of the river near the place
where s. T. Aliens mill burned about year
since. 1t was the property Of r. E. Camp
bell-at least. he had bill of sale on it
from S. T. Allen, the former proprietor.
The fire was set by an incendiary without
any doubt. The lower side of the pile was
above the ground SO high that person
could creep under and apply the match un-
observed. The engines were on the ground
promptly. but the fire had progressed so far
that they were too late to save any consid-
cradle portion from being badly damaged.
The loss is estimated at about 5000. and
was uninsured. This is the first incendiary
fire We have had for some months, and We
hope that constant vigilance will be exer-
cised in looking out for the scoundrels.

It appeared yesterday being under the aus
pices of Thos. J. Pickett. Esq, Of Peoria.

that Rock Island is unable or unwilling TO

CLINTON BRlDGE.-The people of
Clinton have commenced building their
Bridge across the Mississippi-at least they
have had their Inaugural Celebration, and
driven down a pile or two in the mud,
where it is expected the first pier will be
built. From the Clinton Herald of the Goth
ult we clip note Of the proceedings:
"LEr THosE LAUGH WHO WIN."-Acting
on this old maxim, some of our people on
Tuesday evening etemporized a small de-
mcnstration in honor Of the bridge victory
1t was gotten up on short notice, and with
out any pre-arranged programme. About
eight o'clock a magnificent bonfire was
built on the head of the Island, and torch
light procession marched across the ice to
the spot where, by the light Of the fire. the
driver was at work tending home" the
piles for the first pier. Fire balls amused
the more juvenile portion of the crowd,
while their parabolas of light defined
against a moonless sky, added beauty to
the scene. Every one seemed in high spir-
its, and ready to swell the reneated and
prolonged cheers which rent the air contin-
ually, until the huge pyramid Of combusti-
bles was nearly consumed. When they re-
turned they we're gathered before the Iowa
Central House, the front Of which was hand
somely Illuminated. and were addressed by
several gentlemen who responded to the
calls made upon them. The evening was a
delightful one, such az we would expect in
early May, but seldom see in mid winter.
The demonstration having no pre- arranged
1nfh a. L.
took advantage ofthe privilege. The beau
ty Of the evening. as well as desire to par
ticipate in the rejoicinge, called out large
crowd, but whether it was as large . mum
Der as were gathered on the ice at Lyons ct
the same time We are unable to say.
