The building OF Il railroad from the

cite through Nevada and California,
seems 10 be assuming definite shape.
The last Legislature of Nevada gave

built within five years, which will DO
sufficient to grade The road through

STATS OF ssE ALlEn-DANA
CONTROVERSY.

Progress OF DISCUSSION oyer the
charge Of n~nsoldierly conduct by Gen.
Alger Immediately preceding dis:
charge from the army in September,
1854, has failet to Jpruduce evidence
dissipa.;Ds the churgo. Gen. alEer
eraics the isspe. Mr.. Dana, who, as
assistant Secretary OF War, surely
knew the facts, would not dare make
50 specific nn allegation without
a~srer,niains in advances whether the
fi,c,s arc o; record and the. record ID
Eroducible. He aiirns that AlSer
mnde application for ten days leave
al absence while Sheridan was wait
itg I . strike Early, the issue
ing, as is we'll known, the fate OF the
country; that tho application was re-
fused; that he then left camp without
leave; that Gen. Sheridan brought
The tact before the department and
recommended that Alger be dishonor-
ably discharged from the service
Alser in reply does not say whether
or not he ever made application for n
leave OF absence. Ihut ID the hinge.
Instead Of doing this he turns aside
and ATTACKS the fame OF Custer.
Rlther uncannily, not by direct us
sertion but by inference, he implies
that il the record show Rnyt .ag dis
honorable to him, Custer is reSpon-
aible for.it. Tnat is, il application for
leave of absence by Alger be on lilo it
must nave been forged by Custer.
This is a monstruuc resort for Alger
without jot or TITLE OF proof. Besides,
Mr.. Dana suys it "as General Wesley
Merritt who disapprovsd tho aplli-
cation. General Merritt has been tp-
renled to and declined TO say any
thing, but referred to the records.
Il be never disapproved such an ap-
plication would he hesitate 10 say so?
