and its remarks conveying the impres
sion that erroneous if not false state
uents have been made by the ArPsAL,
there is . prospect of the rapid CON-
ple,ion of the road; and We think this
paper can show . moro consistent rec
ord Of statements in relation to that
enterprise, than 10 made in the Crescent.
That paper in its issue of July 18th
says:
Virginia and Carson r. r. Work ON the
line Of this road is progressing in = rapid
ard satisfactory manner under the e.iciens
superintcndenee of Mr.. YeringtOn The in
dications are that it will be brought to an
early completion, and We certainly hope
that all parties interested may reap all the
advantages anticipated from its construction.
The iron was Then ON the way hlthsr,
aud no delay that human agency could
prevent has occurred in its progress to
the line of the road. Again, the Cres-
cen, of August l4th contains the fol-
loving:
Railroad material. Material for the Vir-
ginia 4 Carson Railroad is rapidly arriving
in Reno, and is as rapidly being removed to
the line OF the road. As yet there has been
NO arrival of iron and, in 80 far rs we have
been informed, none has arrived in San
Francisco. How about that forty days, MIR.
APPEAL man?
We are informed of no delay since
then in forwarding material for the
road from Reno. As to the forty day $,
on the 2lst of July We stated, on infor-
nation deemed reliable, that the ship
containing the iron was then ninety
days ous from the port Of Liverpool.
aud the rails would not probably be
here for forty days. When We consider
that The time Of the passage of the YES
sci between the two ports was one
hundred aud City eight days, and that
alter our statement tnat the iron would
no, probably BE- here for forty days, ii
WAS only two weeks more than that
time before it was landed IN Reno, We
we're no, far out OF the way for q guess.
August 2lst the Crescent says:
Finally, las we told you and the people
weeks since) there IS no human probability
of tie road being finished this season.
As the grading aud tunneling has
been substantially completed for several
weeks, and the ties are now being placed
in position. and a portion of the iron

cent says:
Just say to mill miners The Bank Of
California is c.amped on account of the
sI:ngency n the money market, and one of
the necessary consequences. unfortunately,
is a suspension of work on .he V. 4 L. X.
R.; you will, consequently, be forced to look
for you supply of wood to some other mode
Of transpoI .atiOn, and it is now SO late in
the season that it will not do 20 delay longer
unless you propose to suspend operations
during the winter. Il
Is il not q plain case that work was
not suspended ION account of stringency i
IN the money market -? On the llth I
instant the same paper makes the fol. c
lowing statement:
The even chances are that there will not ;
De 4 single rail of that iron in Reno at the
of ten days, and if the iron is
shipped On sailing vessels to Sacramento the =
chances are against the FIRST load reaching Z
that city in ten days. n
On the 7th we said, " Is is thought '
rack laying will commence 10 about /.
.-n days." all of which was based upon
he almost absolute certainty that the ii
aging of the rails would be commenced o
soon. as the iron arrived here. And
the prediction of the i,
Crescent that the FIRST rail would not
be in Sacramento, even, in ten days, in
ess than that time that paper is our
authority y it was in Reno. How
