EDITORIAL VISIT. Mr. George Smithe,
editor Of the Cambridge Chronicle, paid
Rock Island a visit, last week, aud, published
a column and half Of what he saw here
! Among other things he Gays:
| We visited the Island of Rock Island, last
! Friday, for the first timo; and we confess to no
little astonishment at the beauty of the place and
| tho magnitude of the works that are being pros.
| ecutcd there by the government. The drive over
| the island is one of the most delightful imagn-
able, aud to one who has spent a few years on the
! urairies, after having been surrounded from
| childhood by the romantic scenery of the East
the pleasure of the trip Is beyond the power Of
| Ian guage 10 express. We were stopping at the
Eotmnn House, and on expressing a desire to
visit the island, Mr.. Hutchins, the obi ging land
| lord Of the kodmsH, said that he had q team for
that purpose, and would take US over. We found
him most desirable guide, intimately aoquaint-
ed with everything upon tho island as well he
might be, for he told US that be made the trip
from one to three times every day, In charge Of
guests Mt the R0dman who desire to see the
sights. We loaded ourself and family into his
luxurious carriage, with Mr.. and Mrs. Hutchins
rs escort, behind an eight hundred dollar span of
matched bays, and passed over the new govern
ment wagon bridge about an hour before sunset.
! This bridge is of iron, and is a most valuable
structure Immediately on emerging from the
bridegroom the island, we entered upon smooth,
NvsA r"Nt N"Oatr""t"d by tho rebel prisonprs of
| war who were confined there. Mr.. Hutchlns IN
| formed US that the road was to be removed and
| tho space converted into II lawn, while its place
| would be supplied by broad avenue running
| ST. sight up the center from the foot OF the is.
| land. After crossing the track oftho C., Il, /. 4
p, railroad, we entered the wooded portion of the
island by the main central avenue and found it a
| most lovely spot, though the avenue is yet a mere
roadway. The dry,clean ground and deep shade
OF the forest on either side enough to entice
us from any spot except the soft cushions and
| smooth-rolling carriage Of the Rodman House
Visitors to Rock Island who wish to visit the
island will find the best facilities for doing so by
stopping at the Rodman House. Judging from
the hotel register Of the Rodman on which We
noticed the reaord of from forty to sixty guests
per dav, and sometimes running considerably
higher than that, the house has not suffered much
by the foolish war that the Union has been wag-
ing against it. We hang up our hat at the Rod
nan. every time.

A CARD.

As the unpsmmstical penuy-a liner con
nected with the morning paper of this city,
acknowledge that it was premedita,ed
plan TO inyeigle myself and wife into com.
ing here for the sole purpose Of beneftting
their office, and failed in doing SO, l leave
the public to imagine where The shoe
pinches.
As the reputation of myself and wife is
thoroughly established throughout the Unit
ed States, and more especially ~ the state
Of Illinois, am convinced that the unpreJ'
udiced readers of the morning paper viii
treat the contemplate and ungrammarcaI
article with the scorn it deserves
IA / have already wasted TOO many words
on person totally unworthy of thea,
shall bring this paper controversy 10 az
end, and shall not condescend TO take an,
more notice of the ctilusious eminaling from
the pen Of that sublime writia. As
,oritist | think the public will agree will
me in saying be is not success
As have been an invalid for the lRs
three years, and the morning paper can fin
no other object to vent its spleen on, l thin
| can say without being particle of a
egotist, that my appearance will compar
favorably with the Fredericksburg gentle
men who represented themselves as bein
connected with the Union. A piece of &C
vice, think, will benefit them: should the
ever visit another city for the purpose of dc
