CARS IN THE DEsERT.-Mr. Russell, the we'll
known Crimean reporter of the London Times,
gives most interesting sketch of run through
portion of the Arabian desert by the new rail-
way route. We subjoin an extract:
Blanched bones of camels lie in dull whiteness
on the sands. Not bird fans the hot, silent
air. Stones and sand, and sand and stones, are
all and everywhere stretched out dead and hard
under the blue sky and the relentless sun. The
rail which conveys US through this desolation, is
single, and the line is said, by English Engineers,
to be very badly made, as the French engineers
who laid it out, took it over ridge 1 100 feet
high, instead of following low level near the
river, which would have greatly diminished ex-
pense and cost Of working. The water and coal
for the engines are to be carried by the trains
out to the various stations. So they are like
commissariat animals in a barren country, which
have to carry their own fodder and diminish the
public burthens.
The stations are helpless, hot, oven-like erec-
tions generally eked out by old Crimean wooden
huts, within the shade of which may be seen an
undoubted Englshman, smoking his pipe. AT
the twelfth station we coaled; the train ended
in the desert here; but at long intervals, for
miles in advance, we could see the encampments
of Arabs, who for the time had become navvies,
and were engaged in picking, burrowing and
blasting through the rocks way for the iron
horse. In long wooden shed-the centre of q
group of tents-were laid out long tables, Gov
cred with hot joints of recondite animals, papier
mache chickens, and Ignite vegetables. This
was our dinner-it had come all the way from
Cairo-so had the wine, the beer, and Spirits
If mama and luails were at all eatable, we ha(
enyied the food of the Israelites.

The above - departures at 1O.45 must have
been preceded by corresponding arrivals, at least
as early as 10.40, allowing time for changing the
mails and the baggage of heavy travel we then
had and l am fully justified, (when a proper
allowance is made for these transfers,) in saying
that not one of the arrivals of the 0. & A. train
of the above dates could have been later than
1O.45! Why can they not now arrive at that
hour? But, in spirit of compromise, I have
proposed 1O.5O--prouided they are strictly pune
tual.

VIRGINIA CENTRAL RAILROAD,
Richna0nd, June 18th, 1860.

VIRGINIA CENTRAL RAILROAD,
Ric7snaond, June 18th, 1850.
John s. Barbour, Esq, President,
DEAR SIR Il have yours of the 14th, and in
reply will remark that have now, as always
had the strongest desire to harmonize the action
of our Companies and the running of our trains,
and therefore am willing to accept your offer to
compromise the difficulty between US, by which
the arrival of your trains at Gordonsville, going
North, shall be fixed at 1850 A. NJ, (athough
the Post Master General has sent me schedule
requiring you to arrive by 10.45) provided that
you pledge yourself that your train shall be
punctual, and if it shall not have arrived at the
depot by 1850, that our Eastern train shall leave
promptly at that hour.
The schedule for your road referred to, re-
quires you to leave Gordonsville, going North,
at 9.45 A. NJ, and the schedule for the Central
Road last sent me fixes 645 for leaving Rich
mond and O.45 A. NJ, for arriving at Gordons-
vile, just one hour after you have lett, thus
breaking all connections M a
If the Post Master General will give his writ
ten consent to your proposed hour of arrival
1850, with the conditions above mentioned, and
change the hour of the arrival of each Company
going North to those now acted on by consent
or to some hours approximating them, so as te
restore our Northern connections, | will, as
have said before, consent to waive our claim fol
you to arrive at 1045, although | have the au
thority of the department for requiring it.
Answer by telegraph if You accept.
(Sgned) Yours respectfully,
E. FONTANR.
P. P.S.-Having written you very hastily yes
terday, think proper to add that you surely
must be ignorant of what is required of you by
the schedule, when you say that my action has
produced public inconvenience by breaking con
nections at Gordonsyille. If you will refer te
your schedule, which think you cannot have
seen, you will find that it is your delinquency
which has caused all the Inconvenience to The
public and loss to our companics.
We have never left Gordonsville until after
you had failed to arrive as required. The sched
ule of the Department requires you to arrive a
1915 q. NJ, the same time we claim of you, anl
by accurate record you have never arrived ear
ier than 90 minutes behind that time Withou
being aware OF your schedule, until few days
since, find we have conformed to it. while yor
have disregarded it.
I will merely add that you misunderstood any
letter of mine to make it purport that / though
you could not arrive by 1915 A. M. My lette
''complsined," it is true, of your not at .15rs
complying aoith your promise to 0rriUe at O.45
and insisted on your doing it; and after being
left once or twice your trains not only arrived
as soon as 10.45, but sooner as Mr.. Stockin'

Respectfully, E. FoNTAINE, Pres't.
