nsaams Rnmor has laborsd assidu-
ously since the announcement oil The 'ail-
mr.. Of this road, and has put in circulation
a thousand and one reports concerning
its DOWNFALL and what IN all probability
will he the final result Of this unfortunate
failure.
Tn. most reliable information that we
can gather, is from the Clin'o" Mirror
pubIshed a, Lyons, and the Investigator
At Fulton Guy Illinois. The Mirror
states that The Rail Road hands are be-
inc paid off satisfactorily, that NJ present
an.rations on the road are suspended
hu il is runored that sl,e Michigan Cen
trail Company is negotiating ion IT and IN
u few days all will be right. From the
Ub;tes;ae Investigator We take the fol-
lowing extract which gives US tar ex-
plana,lon as to the state OF affairs relative
to said road
/ rappears that for a considerable length
! of time there has been a slringency III
the money market, which has effected
nearly all tie Rail Road Companies un-
less they are those which ENJOY most
enviabl reputation, as the Union or
Central. This IS the result OF the nu-
imerous roads under contract all OF which
are being urged forward as rapidly as tho
means at then disposal will permit. Blu,
! il appears that the Mississippi and Rock
River Junction Rail Road has been
! fraudplen,ly embarrassed. So says re-
ports at least The contract, as Is well
known, was taken BY H. P. Adams x
Co. The capital stock was takeu by
the citizens on the route, capitalists from
abroad and by the Union company. II

OF the best contracts In the State, and
one on, OF which handsome sum nigh,
be realized, If the affair could be sue
cessfully prosecuted by the contractors.
The contractors building he Junction
Road, wers also engaged iii building an
other road, in Iowa h became impor-
,ant ,ha, the Union Company, who hold
the controlling influence IN the junction
Road. should guard against the means OF
said Company being carried into the con-
structIon OF any other road.
Some time since, Adams x Co, las 1t
IS understood, called for another advance
iran the Junction Company, who, upon
all examination al the work done OIL tho
Road by Adams 4 Co, came to the con
clnson that they were not entitled to the
same, and thereupon declined ial,icr
payment, until additional work was done
Although Adams and Mccartney lave
