ILLINOIS CENTRAL RAnRoA D-The Illinois Central
Road being in state of rapid progression. COM
Inittee of the Board of Directors appointed in
October to visit the work throughout Its entire
length examine its progress and details and report.
These gentlemen, five in number, arrived at Chica-
60 October Sth and spent the whole month in trav-
cling on the 700 miles of the companys road, and
after patient and minute investigation have made
report to the board in an eminent degree satisfac
tory We append the material portious
< The road it will be remembered, was commenced
by the State of Illinois, and abandoned after the
expenditure of some 100000. The Federal Gov
eminent, in 1850, having donated 2,j50000 acres
in aid OF it, that land and tie remains of the road
made over to the present company, who
placed the whele in trust to secure S17000000 of
per cent bonds, to be issued in the construction,
that is, 100000 acres to pay the principal, and
100000 acres for the interest Of these bonds the
first issue at per cent was for the purchase Of
10000 tons railroad iron at rates so per cent be-
low the present prices. Those are held abroad and
successive issues have been made in all Sl2-
100000.
The whole stand on the same footing and are of
equal value, with the exception that the privilege
was extended to the last S30O0,00O loan of the
right to subscribe to three shares of stock for every
81 900 bond. There has been paid in on the stock
SIS per share and these held at $50 or S25 each
premium. Consequently, where the right is sold
with the bond, the latter IS worth q per cent.
more than the other bonds but the stockholders
some of them will not sell at $50 subject to future
instruments, which will probably never be called
for.
There has already been expended on the road
50, 1872, 20l; and the work has been pushed with
such vigor that the expenditure has been kept $780,
900 ahead of the instruments due by contract on
the bonds issued. l75 miles of track are laid, and
the grading on the whole lire so far complete that
a reduction of $4,000 per month will take place
Immediately in the expenditure for that purpose
Enough has been done to satisfy ALL that the cost
will be within the estimates Q7,00Q000) to the
amount Of which means are provided.
The work will have been completed without the
sale of bond below par by the company, or the
payment of single dollar for extra interest, and
with ample provisions made in land to meet all the
bonds before they are issued The recent pressure
in the money market has been Of great service to
the road from the fact that thousands of laborers
discharged from other roads have ocked thither for
employment

EFFECT OF A WAR IN EUROPE on BUSINESS IN
THE UNITED STATES

The news OF the commencement Of hostities be-
tween Turkey and Russia produces no Injurious ef-
fects upon business in this country. On the contra
~, it increases the price of flour and other provs-
ions somewhat That is the only effect it can have
for the present Our country can keep clear Of that
war, and profit by its existence. We have no SEN
tangng alliances with the nations of Europe that
make feel the effects OF change in their politics
or suffer from their wars. Capitalists have been
much alarmed at the prospect of general war in
Europe on the Turkish question But the question
peace or war has been 50 long pending that they
have bad time to get over their fright, and now that
the war has been actually commenced, they find
that it makes, and can make very little difference
with American interests. Whether in peace or
war, Europe must have our cotton and our bread
stufs, and must pay for them and pay our ship
owners large part Of the price Of their transport to
Europe. 80.
We take the following extract of letter from the
New York Erening Post:
EUROPE A PERMANENT MARKET FOR BREAnsrUFrs
PROM AMERIcA-Two very important changes have
within the last ten years, taken place in Europe
which are either overlooked in America or which
so far have SEEN do not receive their due weight
The first Is very material increase in the coRsanp
lion Of breadstuiiS and the second considerable
dimiamion in their production.
The cause for the first is to be found in that mo-
mentous change in the commercial policy of nearly
every state in Europe commenced through Sir Rob-
ert Peel in England, and carried out by secret pur-
chases for two years past, and latterly openly BY
Louis Napoleon. The kings Europe used to frown
their subjects into obedience, now they feed them
into quietness. Industrial activity, higher wages
and more general participation Of the good things
of this world have largely increased, with the masses
the power to consume.
Extract from letter in the Washington onion
The great prosperity Of the western country, now
and prospective, Is in some degree at the expense
Of the Atlantic. Thus Ohio sells probably l.0OO,-
900 bbls. Of Flour, which is consumed in New Eng
land. That -four is worth one million dollars more
this year than last The deliveries Of breadstufs at
tde-water on the canals Of New York from June 10
November 10 this year andlaSt, are as follows

STATE AGRICULTURAL FAIR.

We see from our exchanges that the farmers in
different parts of the State are forming themselves
into Agricultural Societies, and intend having coun-
" fairs during the present year. Such spirit is
very colnmendable and should be encouraged and
literally sustained. The importance of stimulating
this branch ofindustry and of bringing out and diff.
hlsng agricultural knowledge is very apparent to
all 1t is hoped therefore that the societies formed
viii appoint delegates to attenda State Agricultural
Fair TO be held in this city at such time as may be
most convenient We hope that some of our Ag-
lcultural friends in Davidson county will take tho
matter in baud and designate the proper time, and
give to the move their hearty cooperation Who
will take the lead?
e9y- We endorse fully, Ia thing we don't gener-
ally do from Wing papers, the followg COM
plment from the Knoxville Wig to Gen. AMBER
son and his attentive clerks. The Gen. is a good
officer and does every thing in his power to remedy
tie present deranged condition Of the mails:
THr NASHVILLE Posi- OFFIcE-We regret to see
several Wing papers in this State, complaining of
the management of the Post Office at Nashville,
and charging upon its able, faithful and gentleman
lv occupant Gen. ANDERSON the failures we are all
subjected 10 Of late The fault is not at Nashville
There snot more honest upright and lahfulmanin
Tennessee, than Gen. SAML r ANDERSON. He is al
qpavs in his Office attending to his business in per-
SON surrounded by host ofexTe fenced and equally
faithful Clerks, who were in Office under DR. Shelby
We kaol this to be true and we know, moreover
that no respectable citizen of Nashville, believes
Gen Anderson capable of eglectng his duty or of
had conduct in any respect. Let Justice be done to
an honest man, and faithful public officer If he as
a Democrat and was appointed to Office by General
Pierce. ...
