Wednesday, towards evening.
We reached Rock Island, and the
Mississippi River. 1t was our
first view Of the great ''Father OF
Waters, = and q finer one We could
not have had. 1ts sparkling wa.t
ters sont back in dancing waves Of
light the last rays Of the Sun,
crimsoning the blue sky ere it
sank to rest behind the beautiful
bluffs of its western banks. It's
waters rolled in gentle waves on
toward tho sea, parting but no:
separating the two fiDe cities Of
sister States, whose steepies and
s0meFs rent back The waves Of
light dancing again on the broad,
beautiful River. Steamers were
lying At the wharyes, ready to
travel both up and down the
shores, and we gladly would have
left the car for one Of them. But
the Engine pulled Us remorselessly
over the bridgc-in what direc.
tion l knew not; for We seemed to
turn and twist, "and wind aboIt
and in and out" until we finally
were landed at Davenport.
While We ate our supper, the
conductor kindly transferred our
baggage 10 the sleeping car; and
as we were eating the same with
good relish We congratulated our
selves that our farewell Of civ
ilization was such pleasant one;
that before we ventnred into the
western wilds We would have one
more good square meal" | will
try and tell you hereafter Of the
terrors and inconveniences OF

it was dark, and tie lights from

Good night and pleasant dreams. .
But before | say tho same to your
readers | must tell you something
about the car which we entered

which we left at Chicago; but how
different The wood work was
dark, beautiful walnut, the gliding
lavishly rich, and the mirrors
large and graceful; the curtains Of
crimson cast deep warm shade
over every part Of the car, which
fairly glisteped, and sbone with
superlative neatness; aud as our
African attendant hustled about,
"monarch Of all be surveyed hc
brought from hidden recesses the
snowiest linen; and the whitest Of

In yoursissue of the 9TH inst. notice
the following synopsis of a bill intro
duced by Hon. Wm. Lawrence to change
the method and time ofpaying pensions:
s"Mr. Lawrence introduced = bill to provide
the mode Of paying pensions. Referred.
: "The bill PROVIDES that the Secretary Of the
Interior shall select in every county in the
United States, either National Bank, q Post
master, an Assessor or Collector OF Internal
Revenue, or other existing officer, to prepare
all pension papers for paying pensions, free OF
cost 10 pensioners. The Commissioner OF
Pensions shall certify to each officer list OF
pensions IN his county, and transmit check
on the nearest Assistant Treasurer, payable to
the order OF each pensioner, 10 be delivered TO
The pensioners, who shall thus be paid every
three months. instead OF semi-annually, as
now. One hundred thousand dollars shall be
paid ann ually TO officers for services, ia equt-
able proportion, instead Of $3.50 900 paid in
commissions now. Quarterly payments, lis
claimed, will save pensioners several millions
