THE "TIMES" FOR 1856.

A press of other business has prevented
the issual of prospectus for 1856, but we
do not know that it makes much difference
A copy Of the paper is the best prospectus,
and we ask every subscriber we have TO
take this number in his hand, show it to
his neighbors, and ask them to Join him in
taking it this year. We hope they will do
this, and do it at once. We would cheer
fully do as small favor for them, and have
no doubt they will comply with our request.
Recollect. this year will be stirring
year. The Presidential election comes on
in which every one feels an interest-and it
will be one of the most exciting and inter-
esting elections that has ever taken place in
the United States.
Then we have Governor, State officers,
Congressman and members of the Legisla-
ture, and County officers 10 elect in our own
State. The next Legislature will have two
United States Senators to elect, and our
county elections will be highly interesting
on this account.
Will our friends aid us in extending the
circulation of The Times? We desire to
double its present extensive circulation, and
must do it.

Railroads in the United States.

1t is stated that in 1928 there were but
three miles Of railway in the U. States, in
1929 it increased 10 2S miles, in 1880 TO Al
miles, in 1910 to 2,l67 miles, end now in
1856 it reaches 23,242 miles. We have in
addition probably 1000 miles of double track
making in all more than 25,o00 miles Of
iron way, or length sufficient 10 encircle
the globe at the equator. Within ten years
the length has been quadrupled, and since
1850 alone, trebled. There are now at least
5000 miles in process of construction that
will be in use before the end of the year.
Valuing the completed railroads at $4,000
per mile, the capital now invested in this
interest amounts to $697 100000.
