The principal In fact the only, feature OF ne

profit, or at least save them from loss. OF courss

and induces them to close their account. Should
Congress pursue a sound policy, the very large
amount of capital now invested in railway stecks
and bonds in coal and steamship and other miscsl-
laneous securities, would be diverted into public
stocks Of the United States, to the manifest advsn'
tage of both the owners of the capital and de
government.
The report Of the New York Central Railway
which was laid before the meeting Of directors
held last week. has disappointed spectators in the
stock The gross earnings, it 10 true. show large
increase; but the expenses have likewise increased
SO largely that the net profit for the year is less
than IL was in 1857, when the gross traffic was
81 100000 less. The figures are as follows s,-

1t further appears, as the directors very candid
ly admit in the report, that the large increase Of
traffic duriag the past year arose from accidental
and temporary causes-namely, the closing Of the
Mississippi and the stoppage Of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad-snd that the earnings Of the year
1862 must not be regarded as criterion Of what
the road will earn hereafter, when these powerful
riysls again compete for the Western trahc. Itmay
likewise be remarked that the pressure Of produce
towards the seaboard during the past summer and
Iall has been unprecedented, in consequence Of
the high price Of exchange, and that decline in
bills to anything like old rates would at check
the heavy business which has swelled the receipts
of the Central to 80 high figure. Under these
circumstances the gradual decline in the passenger
business Of the Central becomes an ominous fact
for the future prosperity of the That bu-
siness-which is always the surest reliance of
great railway-culmnated in 1855, when II reached

!. v SUNDAY, Dec. IA, 1852.
The trade Of tho port for the week ending yes
terday showed an aggregate import movement Of
~ $685. 900, against aggregate export of $4224
600, thus leaving balance Of about 81 500 900 in
favor OF the port. Some illinois Central and Eric
shares and bonds came from Europe last week,
which viii reduce this balance somewhat. The
balance for the year to date, exclusive Of the
movement In American securities, amounts to
moro than $s5 5000 No accurate estimate of
the value Of the American securities which have
come from Europe since January l can be given.
Some reckon that t25 900 900 worth have been i'm.
ported, while others think that SIS 900 900 would
pay for all the stocks which have come here for
sale. It is not pretended. however, in any quar-
ter that the value of the stocks imported is large
enough to Offset the balance in our favor on the
general merchandise account, and it is hence in
ferred that the recent shipments of coin from this
port are the result Of purchases Of specie made in

The President Replies to Greelys I'm
pudent Letter.

Greedy, of the New York Tribune, the
other day addressed the President a very
mpertinent letter, charging bin with vio-
latiug not only the policy of the Rcpubl
cans, who elected him but also his oath of
office, and calling upon him to execute the
laws and 30 his duty.
The president, it will be seen by the fol-
lowing, coudescends to reply. If Greedy
was in grief before, Mr.. Lincoln's letter to
him will not moderate his sa | ness, and that
for more reasons than one.

THE DRAFT n YET TO CATCH ABoLITIoNIsTs
The President is a wit as we'll as a states
man. Hitherto the Democrats and other
conservatives have been fighting the battl es
Of the Union; the warriors of the Abolition
lists, according to Greeley, have been stand
ing aloof, 9OO,O 900 strong, since the war be
gan, and have lent no assistance whatever
to it, because the President would not con-
sent to make it war for emancipation
Those arrant traitors are now caught in the
capacious folds of the draft net. The Pres
ident says he wants COG, 900 men. Greeley
says the fighters of the abolition school num-
Der 900 900. Now is the time for them to
come forward Let two thirds come in at
once and one ird remain as a reserve, and
the number required is Immediately filled
up The result would be that the Union
would be speedily restored, il there be any
real fight in these chaps.
But now that the draft has been resorted
to they must come forward, whether they
will or not, and Democrats and conservatives
will no longer have to stand the brunt of the
war. The Wide Awakes, the men of the
dark lantern, and all who have declared the
Constitution "a covenant with de ath and an
agreement with He'll" will have to "come

0FThe Louisville Journal, in noticing
Governor Magof1in's resignation, treats h i'm
kindly, as follows:
'Of the part Governor Magoffin played in
the drama under notice we have nothing but
kindness to say. He did gracefully what
will promote in an eminent degree the peace
of Kentucky and the welfare Of the whole
republic. Governor Magoflin acted like the
patriot he has ever protested that he is. We
joyfully accept his resignation as a pledge
of his sincerity. We have always felt a
strong partiality for Governor Magofin per-
sonaly, and, if heretofore we have not looked
upon the several steps of his official career
as kindly as we now look upon the last we
may surely plead, in justification of onr for
mer animadversions, that to US, at least
