CAsPBELL's CHAM.-Yesterdsy we pub.
lished q squib from the Democrat of the 9Th
inst giving credcnce to an untounded
rumor in reference to the Csmpbell's Chain
work. The absurdity Of this charge in ref
erence to the excavation ofthe chain appears
in the facts of Case Il Co., the contractors
employing daily between 200 and 300 men
and " large number Of teams in rsmoving
the rock required to be taken from the
channel and their advertising for still more.
The Democrat says that CampbelPs rock is
the only obstruction found. AS this rock is
about the size OF an ordinary dining table,
it would hardly rebound to the credit Of
Case & o.,vho are old and experienced COZ.
tractors and who know their business thor.
oughly, to expect to employ the above mum.
Der OF men aud teams daiI y for four or i've
weeks to remove what might be taken out
by q few hands full of powder. The repor,
must have originated in very fertile brain
or it is a malicious folsehood. 1t strikes
directly at the reputation of the best en-
gineers in the United States service in the
west, who make the surveys and then
advertise for bids on the basis Of the surveys.
That there may not have been as much rock
n the chain as Messrs Case & Co. expect
ed ia probable, but that the survey does not
include all necessary excavation at that
point is false. II the weather continues
favorable it is hoped to complete the work
on this chain during the present season.

We extract the following from the Gene
SEQ Republic:
"a most unjust because untruthful attack
was made Oh the firm of L. A. Wood d Co :,
Of this city, by the Rock Island Argus Of
last week. Under the name Of Brown &
Co., the Argts publishes many faIsehoods
concerning the financial embarrassment of
Messrs Il. A Wood & Co indeed there is
hardly statement in that papers long nrti
Gle on the subject that is true. There are
no more honest, upright, fair and honorable
gentlemen in America, than those compria.
ing the fam Of i. A. Wood d Co. Their
creditors here land all they have are here)
have entire confidence in their integrity and
also in their ability to pay dollar for dollar
when once fairly get on their pegs. Misfor
tunes happen TO the best of families, and
they have happened to this heavy business
firm; but they are our own boys--we know
who and what they are-and their friends
are many and iust as warm as can be.
In Justice to these excellent men, any one
| Of whom would be the last in the world to
knowingly cheat q fellow mortal out of q
| MILL the Argus should correct its untruthtul
| anu luSl blhlGuleul huclI lull-
ure.
We publish the above that we may atone
| for any erroneous statements we have made
for as to denying them we cannot, as the
Republic has not informed US except in the
mistake Of the name, wherein we have
erred. Our informant we understood TO say
Brown. But the general veracity of our
account we still maintain to be unimpeached
bp the Republic. 1t call, it financial EN-.
barrassment." We say failure. We did
not say or intimate that Brown Il Co. would
not eventually pay off what they owed, but
We reiterate that their creditors who may
have every faith in their inherent integrity
would be glad to discount probabilities to
the tune of fifty cents on the dollar. Our
only view in publishing the matter original
ly was, to "point moraF' against dsbbling
in grain specs" among the professional
gamblers Of the Chicago Corn Exchange.
