VIRGINIA -- Chincoteague Island. -- Mr. Isaac Hinckley, President of the Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad, and a party of friends have just returned from Chincoteague Island, where they report having had magnificent sport. Mr. Diston and friends, of Philadelphia, bagged some 1,800 in less than a week's shooting. The Old Dominion Line of steamers should have their hands full when this kind of racket is going on, for it carries passengers almost to the very grounds by means of its railway connections in Accomac.
