The Jacksonville Nc,cs says. The time for closing
books for the subscription OF stock in the railroads in
which East Florida is particularly interested, arrived
last week. The subscriptions toward the las. were
made in a manner which showed determine

upwards OF half million subscribed to the Flo
nda Railroad. This sum ought t. insure the success
OF this project the capital stock being only one mil
lion, and provision being made for again opening
books after the organization Of the company. The
construction Of this road will be productive Of meal
cuable benefit to this section of the State and must
greatly increase immigration TO the interior and de-

We wish IT was IN our power to give as favorable q
report Of the subscription to the other-the Atlantic
and Gulf Central Road. Enough, however, has been
subscribed in this place alone, TO Insure the organ
ization OF the company, ii the substantial interest
manifested in it at other places, where books were
appointed to be opened, and which would be equal
participants with ourselves in the benefits OF its con-
struction, should be such as to render such step
advisable. But from information received from West
and Middle Florida, we fear we may not have this
good news TO chronicle"
