The deposits on temporary loan with the Sub
Treasurer to-day reach quarter of million. The
operation Of the second section of the bill of the
Ways and Means, authorizing the issue of short
bonds recoverable at any time, at the will Of the
holder into lega-tender notes is simply to raise the
rate OF temporary loans to v cent. At this rate,
undoubtedly an immense amoant of money now rest
Ing in Savings and other banks aud employed in vari-
Gus ways at q y cent, will be drawnnto the great
National Sayings Bank. We should not be surprised
if the Secretary shonld realize 500 100000 from this
source. Under this system, our banks must expect
l1sc a considerable amount of their deposits, and
the current rate Of interest in tie street would prob
ably advance to ta7 g. cent instead of sac y cent,

The work on the Atlantic and Great Western
Road is being pushed with great energy under the

were commenced IN May last. There are now 20J
miles graded, aud lJ0 miles Of track laid. The re-
maindcr will be laid this month. MIR. kennard has
been obliged to work against very serious obsta-
cles. The demand of Government for men for the

port about 600 laborers from Europe, iu order TO
the labor of , 800 to 1000. Some COO 900 ties
were needed and wood-cutters could not be obtained
excepting by importing them. The wood from
twenty five hundred acres Of heavily -.mbered land
is in the road in bridges and ties. OF bridges,
there three miles in aggregate length There was
also scarcity Of horses along the line OF the road
which seriously embarrassed Mr.. Kenuards opera
tons while the men, under the large bounties offered
for ensting dlsposedt TO be very independent aud
would not do fair day swork. Mr.. kennard believed
that under ordinary circumstances he could have
accomplished twice as much no has done. The
present year work brings the road to Akron, on
the main line. Cleveland is reached by the Mahoning
road the Franklin oil wells by the Franklin branch
of 90 miles and the Titusville oil wells by the
Oil Greek branch Of ~ miles. At Moadville a very

fitted up with due regard to the comfort of passen'
