ILLINOIS CENTRAL.

The report of the directors of this company for
the year 1865 states that this railway lost at the
opening of the war its Southern business, which had
been growing up for many years. The close of the ,
war found the season too far advanced to admit of
planting, thus leaving what the war had spared of
the capital and industry of the South to a great ex-
tent unemployed. Those circumstances placed the
railway largely on its local resources

The extension
i r
line from Ohio river to the Gulf of Mexico, was
hardly yet re-opened ; other Southern lines tribu-
tary to the Illinois Central had not been placed in
working order. When those and other old channels
of trade were re-opened, and the business relations
of the North and South restored, they confidently
expected to increase their traffic. For sixty days

payment of one-fourth down on all sales made, and
to sell only to actual settlers. There were 998,069

LONDON, THURSDAY, APRIL 5, 1866,

The arrival of the City of Boston from New York
on the 24th ult. informs us that the Fenian excite-
ment is subsiding
both in Canada and New York,
although the C
anadians are wise enough to maintain
their defensive preparations,
not trusting to the ap-
parent inaction of the mischief-making confrater-
nity. It is undoubtedly hard on the colonists to be
forced into so great an outlay for an uncertain
period, and the Fenians will Probably
i them -
selv es very clever in having subjectedtlero think
to
the u 0 Bo much
annoyance and expense. Possibly
cer
and delay may be part of their plan for htainty
rising
the enemy, and having allowed the Canner
tans, by a
great effort, to prepare for their reception, they ate
anxious to entice them into false security, or put
them to the cost and inconvenience of standing wait-
ing for an invader who never comes. In New York
it is said the Fenians continue their organisation,
and are mustering regiments into the service of the
Irish republic in various parts of the country.
SWEENEY, in a recent speech, referred to the general
expectation of an invasion of Canada, but said that
he did not himself know where the first blow would
be struck. This might be either an ingenious
attempt to cover a failure, or a piece of bom-
bast to hide the want of a definite pur-
pose; but it is certainly harassing to the
Canadians, although they may thank their own
