The main line of tb.-a Railway (about 220 miles in length)
Will commence at the Port of Galatz, and following the
Valley of the Sereth will pass through or near the towns of
Tekouch, Adjud, Bakou, and Roman, to a point on the
north-west frontier of the Principalities. There are two
branches starting from the main line, one (about 45 miles)
to Jassy, the capital of Moldavia, and the other (about 32
miles) to Olina, the most important salt-producing district
of the Principalities.
Moldavia, now a constitutional state without debt, is
Well known as one of the greatest corn producing countries
of Europe. The valley of the Sereth, and the districts
through which the lines pass, are the most fertile in the
Principalities. Galatz is indisputably the most thriving
commercial port of the Black Sea.
The line will, in conjunction with the proposed exten- t
sion of the Austrian Charles-Louis Railway (for the con- i
struction of which a Company will be formed so soon as the
construction of the Moldavian Railway is assured), estab-
lish unbroken and direct railway communication between
the Bv:ttic, the German Ocean, and the Black Sea.
Lo
.0 don by that route will be brought within 60 hours of
Gal,etz and 70 hours of Odessa and Southern Russia. Con-
stantinople will be reached in four days ; Taganro and
'trebizond (the great entrepots for the Caspian, Persia g , and
(Central Asia) in five days, and Alexandria in seven days;
thus establishing a new and independent route to India,
Australia. China, and the East.
Detailed particulars of the undertaking and its prospects
have been prepared from Government returns made in 1859,
which show that the dividend which may be anticipated
from traffic now existing will amount to 12 per cent. per
annum, and that dividend may fairly be expected to reach
at least 15 per cent. pet annum when the connection with
the Charles-Louis Railway is completed. The best evidence
that this estimate is not excessive is to be found in the fact
that the Charles-Louts Railway (from Craeow to Lemberg,
a length of 215 milra,
of which the Prince Leo Sapieha, a
chairman)
member of the Lo cal Board of this undertaking, is the
—a re4ore expensive line, passing through a less
productive cotentry—has already earned 11i per cent. per
annum, althe,ugli that railway has been very recently opened.

NEW YORK, JULY 22.
The general gloom and discouragement of the
Northern people and the absence of any effectual
response to Mr. Lincoln's call for an additional
300,000 men are facts that betoken a powerful reac-
tion. Few persons qualified to form an opinion
believe it possible to raise one-third of the number
by voluntary enlistment; while it is quite certain
that the war must cease for want of the material to
prolong it, unless at least half-a-million of men can
be procured during the summer. The Government
is ill at ease on the subject, and its friends are be-
ginning to ask whether it would not be better,
without further loss of time, while days and hours
are previous, to resort to a conscription, or, if that
be impossible, to welcome the mediation of Europe.
My own impression, which every day makes
stronger, is that the game of voluntary enlistment
is " played out," that the barning patriotism which
burst forth so suddenly and blazed so brightly after
the attack on Fort Sumter has cooled down, that
money will not bribe men enough to form a new
army, and that, if there be no conscription, the
North may as well yield with as much dignity its it
can assume, lay down its arms, and renounce the
hopeless project of the restoratio&of the Union.
It cannot be said that the Federal Government
does not bid high for men, or that it is not zealously
aided by the State Governments. The New Eng-
land States are offering bounties ranging from 50
dols. to 100 dols., in addition to the liberal bounty
offered at Washington, and yet the men do not pre-
sent themselves. Mr. Morgan, the Governor of
the State of New York, when called upon to summon
the Legislature at Albany to discuss the propriety
of offering 50 dols. to every recruit, declined to do
so, on the ground of the inconvenience of an extra
session in the dog days, but issued a proclamation
offering that sum on his own responsibility, and
trusting to the protection of his Parliament on its
reassembling at the usual period to indemnify him
for the act. The response, as yet, has been feeble,
while in the city of New York, where every police-
man has been converted into a recruiting officer,
the failure has been so conspicuous that the most
wilfully blind have been compelled to see and the
most wilfully deaf to hear it. What are the reasons
for this sudden change in public feeling ? Convinced
of the importance of the inquiry, as a guide to the
comprehension of the new phase into which the
war has entered since the seven days' slaughter of
M'Clellan's army, I have made it my business to
converse with all ranks and degrees of people, and
more especially with the classes out of which the
Federal armies have been recruited—with Ameri-
cans, Irishmen, and Germans—with returned sol-
diers, as well as with recruiting officers, and endea-
voured to ascertain their real sentiments. The con-
clusion
to which I have come is that the war is less
popular among them than it was a month ago, and
that each of these nationalities, in addition to gene-
ral
reasons common to them all, has its own separate
ground of coolness or dissatisfaction.
The general reasons for the slackness of enlist-
ment are the high wages of labour, consequent upon
the withdrawal, from first to last, of fully 700,000
men from the ordinary work of the nation. The,
requirements of the armies in the field and of the
harvest, now ready for the sickle, are such that
every working man is certain to find employment.
In addition to this powerful influence there are
deterrents in the highways which every man can
understand—deterrents in the shape of maimed and
wounded soldiers on their way to and from the
hospitals or permanently turned into the strE ets,
legless or armless, as living mementoes of the
miseries of war. And then there are the news-
papers which tell the sickening story of the
strife, and which every one reads, however
poor or imperfectly educated he may be, and the
conversation of the rum-shop, the lager beer saloon,
or other resorts of the multitude, where authentic
news is circulated which never finds its way into
print, and which is derived from the private letters
of soldiers to their friends and relatives, or from the
oral testimony of living witnesses who have re-
turned disabled from the swamps of the Chickaho-
miny to mix with their fellows and tell them the
truth. From the newspapers they learn that, while
this call is made upon them by the President, there
are no less than 50,000 men absent from the army
on furlough or on sick leave, the sickness being no-
thing but home sickness, or, if not that, a sham.
They learn at the same time, though not always
from the newspapers, Which, as a rule, are disin-
clined to publish any statements, however well-
founded, that tend to diminish public enthusiasm
in the war, that at this moment the army of Gen.
M'Clellan is in a pcsition almost as had as that from
which it escared so narrowly a month ago ; that the
heat is excessive ; that water is scarce ; and that
typhoid and other fevers prevail to a frightful ex-
tent. A Federal officer recently returned from Har-
rison's Landing states that the dead are so numer-
ous that M'Clellan has been compelled to burn the
bodies. He cannot bury them within the limits of
the camp for fear of an epidemic He cannot bury
them beyond the limits for fear of the attacks of the
enemy, The consequence is that every night the
bodies are piled in heaps, and the camp is illumined
with the glare of an incremation horrible to think
of, but absolutely necessary to the health and safety
of the army. Facts like these are repeated from
mouth to mouth ; and, combined with the want o f
confidence in all public men, and with the high and
certain wages offered in less dangerous spheres of
usefulness than the battle-field, damp the martial
ardour of the people, and throw discredit even upon
the cash in hand, which the State and the Govern-
ment unite to offer, with a liberality unparalleled
in foreign or civil war in any country of the world.
Among American-born citizens—all patriots—all
filled with a desire to conquer the South—the un-
expected duration of the war has had a very seda-
tive effect. They believed at the first outbreak of
hostilities that the South would be easily overrun
and subdued. They thought with Mr. Lincoln that
75,000 men would be enough for the " job." They
had faith in the " 90 days" of Mr.
Seward; and
when that term had expired they were not without
confidence that twice 90 days would be amply suffi-
cient to restore the Union.
"hey were ready for a
short, sharp, and decisive conflict. They were not
ready for an obstinate struggle, to last for years, to
be carried into the heart of the enemy's country
with half a million of men on each side, and fought
to its conclusion amid such a storm of hatred and
bitterness as now howls over the land. They were
not ready to pay the cost of the war, in the shape of
enormous taxation. They
Were not prepared for
the gross corruption of their public men. They had
no faith in the abolition of slavery, or in the poli-
tics that had grown out of the question. They did
not understand the South—did
not believe it would
fight so stubbornly—did not really comprehend the
true causes of the quarrel—and did not anticipate
that they might lose any of their own liberties in
the liberties of their fel-
the vain attempt to deny

they could not see why the South should hate them.
And while quite ready for a sparring match with
their brother—to give and to take hard blows—
they were not ready for a fiendish, deadly, and
apparently interminable war. They imagined, in
the • e boundless conceit which is the Yankee charac-
teristic, that they could conquer Anglo-Saxons as
easily as they conquered Mexicans. In short, they
were deceived in all their calculations. They now
know it—and the result is that they are no longer
so self-confident as they were, :and are preparing
their minds for the day of inevitable compromise.
Among the
Irish a different feeling prevails. The
Federal armies have had few, if any, better soldiers

than they, and in
