TIE RIVERA heavy fog has prevailed
to-day. The river is almost clear of ice-the
channel only being filed with floating cakes,
which are being rapidly carried off. The
steamer Kennebec, left here this morning, at
eleven o'clock for Baltimore, not to stop at
any of the river landings. The Washington
boats are running, but with some irregularlty.
A good deal of drift wood is coming down the
river, but very little escapes the wreckers who
are out in numbers.

EDITOR OF THE Rock ISLAND. ARGUS,
Dear Sir:-I presume that the reason you
did not publish the communication l sent
you was because it was too pointed to meet
your views. I cannot, however, believe that
you indorse the military commissions an
der either the past Or present administra-
tons. 1t seems to me that you are actuated
by what you think will advance the best in
terests, under existing circumstances, of the
south--the policy of President Johnsons re-
construction plan. You may be right. i
would fain hope that good might result, from
it, but as vet cannot see things in this light.
Of one thing however, yOa and the editor OF
the Unaon will be easily convinced, namely I:
that your pecuniary interests require you to
exert your Joint influence to urge Mr.. Har-
ding to insist on having a mail route estab-
lished from Rock Island ION the state road)
to Centre Ridge. From Camden to Centre
Ridge is Is miles. Across this proposed
route, from Orion to Richland Grove, is II
miles, making over two townships densely
populated, without a mail route We have
sent on petition with over seyenty-hve
names and could have sent four hundred
Let me here suggest to you to give the peo-
pie in the vicinity of all country post Offices
| ,sPaddyis hint that their true interests re-
auire them to mail all their letters at their
own offices, if they hope to sustain them. aaA

FORT BYRON, liz, &sAfSASh 80 AON''
Mr.. ARGUS: II chance to be stopping
here awaiting the departure ofthenext teis,
which design taking for my home in Waite
side county. A friend from Rock Island hand
ed me copy of the Rock Island Union for;
the purpose of perusing,as he said an editors ~
headed .1Demecratic sympathy Tor Sof'
diers." My friend, like myself, was = sol.
dier, and, as l know, did his duty nobly and
bravely to sustain the old flag and to sup
press the late rebellion. He was ademocrat,
before the war. l was not. Being at
home. as veteran volunteer, at the last
presidential election, cast my vote for the
illustrious Lincoln and Andrew Johnson
1 believe johnson has carried out and is
trying to carry out the policy of Mr.. Lincoln.
But the most objectionable sentence in the
articleabove alluded to, which every true
soldier ofgenerous impulses must repudiate,
is as foflows:r Lea Ss IL
sgrake out Of the democratic soldiery the de-
serters, the shysters, the constitutionally faint
hearted, the attaches of the quartermaster, COM
missary and ambulance departments, with the
mule drivers and all others who managed to keep
clear of armed rebels, and the number Of good
men left is comparatively small - Pc
Now don't know anything about the edi-
tor of the Uaaion personally. But it is clear
to nv mind that no man can sit down and
deliberately write sentiment such as the
one Just quoted, whose heart IS in the RICH,
place Suppose the thousands of patriotic
democrats who Joined the army; true men
| who sprung to the rescue of their country
in her darkest hours brave soldiers whose
blood has stained every battle field of the
south made famous by their own and theil
| comrades deed of valor,-suppose all meI
| of this stamp had remained at home, or ha(
joined Vallandigham and organized an army
in the north and fought against the republic
the Union scribbler to-day would not have I
government under which he could so reckless
| " vilify his fellow-citizens who have tried Il
| do their duty to their country.
/ SIR, in every union soldier / meet, repub
hcan or democrat black or white, / recog
nize a brother. And for public print t
| throw out the bitter filings and taunts contain
| ed in the sentence quoted from the editora
in the Union, is, to say the least an abon
ination. ..,1

P. S. Since the foregoing was written

THE ROCK ISLAND POST
OFFICE.
Another Soldier Rejected.

We received telegram from Washington
this afternoon, saying that the senate had
rejected Col. w. ID. Williams for Post Mas
ter, in this city. This is the third soldier
rejected for this Office by the radicals.
EXPECTING such result, the friends OF the
administration, in this city, had already made ar
engagements for the presentation of the nane
of Marcus B. Osborn Esq, and our dispatch
SAYS his name will be sent to the senate this
afternoon. .r.... -sa....
Mr.. Osborn is a republican, but if confirm
ed, will, we have no doubt, conduct the af-
fairs of the Office to the satisfaction of all
parties. He is one of the oldest and most
respected of our citizens capable, honest
and we'll liked. During the late war, not
withstanding his advanced aged, he was a
paymaster in the navy, and discharged the
duties of the position with great promptness
and fidelity. We shall see whether the radi
Gals win reject him. So. ~
