RAILROAD ENTERPRISE IN NEVADA IERR-
ToRY.-Mr ID. b. Scott, formerly the engi-
neer on the Marys, i'll and Bencia railroad,
has for some time past been engaged in maxi
ing a preliminary survey for a road from
Virginia to Carson City. The party have
selected a route through American Flat and
have proceeded with the survey rs far as the
Halfway House on the road to Carson City
The survey demonstrates that at no point on
the route will the grade exceed eighty feet
to the mile The grading will hc of a very
easy nature requiring little or no blasting
The cross-tics of course can easily be oh
tained and all the material for the rapid
completion of the work readily procured.
We understand that Governor Nyc, J. ii.
Atehison and other prominent citizens of
Carson City are the leading men in the en-
terprise. We hail with pleasure the com
mcncement of this important work, and think
there will be no difficulty in obtaining all the
funds necessary to insure an early start on
the work. If properly conducted, the entire
road could be graded by next Spring. Be
yond doubt, the stock of this company
would be among the best investments in the
Territory. The amount of travel between
the mines and Carson City and the river is
enormous the roads being continually lined
with teams, and by next season the amount
freighted will undoubtedly be doubled. The
only wonder is that some person has not
thought of this railroad project sooner.-1er-

Knowing nothing Iof Gen. Nc lellan's or

men on the streets without pass, he sailed
forth from the Presidents on Saturday eve

He had not proceeded far before he was met

that before the battle Of Bull Run it was

ENGLISH VIEws.-The money article of
the London Times discusses the prospect of an
American loan being taken up IN London
1t says that the nun ber Of States stained by
repadiation is equally divided among the
contendIug parties, being Mississippi, Ar
kansas and Florida at the South, and Mich
igan, Pennsylvania and Indiana at the North
though it admits that the guilt of the latter
is much less But after detailing the circum-
stances Of these delinquencies, it says:
These are uncolored facts which cannot
be con,rad,cted, and capitalists must form
their own conclusions from them. But it
vii! be SAID they do not bear upon the Fed
eIal Government, whose engagements. with
the exception Of thu paper issues during the
revolutionary war, have always been duly
fulfilled. That Is a pDirt. however. for each
individual TO deteruiiuc according to his
fancy a TO whether a certain proportion Of
unsound States among a limited Federation

We must also bear fn mind that it is not our
place 10 decil" which is the real offender
with regard to the Florida drbt-the indivId-
uai State OF the National Government. and.
likewise that although Mr. Jefferson Davis
Is now frequently a-sailed by speakers at
Washington for his financial antecedents
those anteceGents we're never, until the out
break Of secession dited by natlonaists or
N0rtherners as d.squal1yng him for the

remarked that the aggregate population Of
such Of the Northern States Is have been

Of the Southern only 100000. Under these
circumstances. II wduld seem there Is not
much to encourage our capitalists to interfere
by supplying means TO either side while IN
a political sense, il is certain that any such
movement would injure our future good re-
lations. since Wa should have a strong pros
