The Alta Californian, of Oct. l6, says:
"Tbe people in the Atlantic States who read the
accounts of the Meggs fraud, will be very much mis-
tab if they suppose that these frauds and foreeres

We published a few days since concise statement
of the Executive Committee of the Illinois Central
Railroad. This great work shows, we think, very
pointedly the peculiar force of American energy and
perseverance. In other country has road of 700
miles in length been projected and carried out with
such rapdity Less than three years ago 1t was COM
menced. We have noted its progress from time to
time in the occasional reports and letters that have
been published and been astonished at the large
amount of work that has been done in comparatively
so short period. We were not however prepared
to realize, set forth by the Executive Committee,
the combination Of obstacles that have been met and
overcome in the progress Of the road. Sickness at
several low marhy points together with the general
prevalence Of the cholera-from which no place in
the country has been exempt-tended to enhance the
cost of the work beyond the Engineers original es-
innate. To meet these payments in season Of Al
most unparalleled financial embarrassment called for
an unusual devotion to the interests of the road by
the Board of Directors. We are happy to SEQ that
the great work is brought to the eve Of completion
and that by the middle of January it will be thrown
open for travel from Galena to Cairo.
A very large failure in Quebec is reported.
