Preaching At Camp McClellan.-Rev. Mr. Audus, of Bloomfiled, Iowa, a Methodist clergyman, who has recently joined the Second infantry, will preach at Camp McClellan to-morrow afternoon at 4 o'clock. Burglars.-Rock Island, like our own city, is just now a filed of operations for a band of burglars. Several attempts at robbery have recently been made there, in one case a Mr. Rusch was relieved of $25. Re-opening of the Schools.-Next Monday morning, the schools in town, and generally throughout the county, will open for the fall term. Teachers and scholars have had a long vacation, enabling them to recuperate both in body and in mind, so as to return with renewed vigor to their duties and studies. Now is Your Chance.-Let Todd's be crowded to-day. It is the last day of grace. On Monday he has to move, and to-day will sell his boots and shoes at astonishingly low prices. As the war tax will advance the price of boots and shoes after this date and he is to-day selling at a reduction on old prices, let everyone who may want anything in his line be sure to call to-day without fail. The Indians.-The Governor arrived in town at an early hour yesterday morning by special train, and had a consultation with the Adjutant General. Measures were immediately adopted to furnish the needed succor to the settlements threatened by the Indians. The Governor left in the morning train for the West and will proceed shortly to the Capital. Temperance Regiment.-Three companies or parts of companies came down on the James Means last evening bound for Muscatine, where they go into the 24th regiment.
