By the President Of the US. of America.
A PROCLAMATION.
Whereas, by the act approved July 4th,
1864, entitled "An act further to regu-
late and provide for the enrolling and
calling out of the pational forces, and for
other purposes" it is provided that the
President of the United States may, at
his discretion, at any time hereafter, call
for any plumber of men as volunteers for
the respective terms of one, two and three
years, for the military service and that
in case the quota or any part thereof of
any town, township, ward of q CITY, pre-
cinct or election district, or of a county
not so subdivided, shall not be filled with
in the space of fifty days after such call,
the President shall Immediately order a
draft for one year to fill such quota, or
any part thereof which may be untitled /;
and,
Whereas, the new enrolment hereto
fore ordered ISIS far completed as that
the aforementioned act of Congress NAV
now be put into operation for recruiting
aud keeping mp the strength Of the ar
mics in the field, for garrison and such
military operations as may be required
for the purpose of the suppression Of the
rebellion and restoring the authority of
the United States Government in the in
surgenf States.
Now, therefore, I, Abraham lincoln,
President of the United States, do issue
this, my call, for 100000 volunteers for
the military service. Provided, never
theless, that all credits which may be es-
tablished under section eight of the afore-
said Set, on account Of persons who have
entered the naval service during the pres5
emf rebellion, and by credits for men FUR
nished to the military service in excess of
calls heretofore mado for volunteers, will

when finished, or to the ultimate gains
when the traffic of the completed under:
taking shall be fully developed. More
over on the LIST January, 1S68ythere were
only 101 miles in operation, and on the
list December, ABA, viz, 255 of the COM
pany's own construction, and 10 of the
Mahoniug line leased so that, in fact,
nearly all there is came into existence du-
ring the year 1868 /; and the traffic receipt
of 1868 is, therefore, likely tobe doubled
or trebfed in 1864 and 1865. The fig.
ures, SO far as they go, are, however, as
follows 81 t s2e 2 %JS

The average number of miles in oper-
alton was not more than $50, and the
gross receipt per mile per week was thus
about 9l5-no great result, if regarded
as indieitive of the future business of the
company but the gross receipts of the
Erie line, at the eastern end of the Attain
tic and Great Western are about 965 per
mile per week, and of the Cincinnati,
Hamilton, and Dayton at the western end
about e48 per mile: per week, while the
gross receipts of the Lake Shore Railway,
running p~are!lel with the Atlantic and
Great Western en- the shore of Lake Erie,
and from 80 to so miles north are at the
rate of about esq per mile per week
Upon these facts there seems little doubt

east to west shall be completed, and the
coal, oil and corn districts through which
his line passes shall be fully tapped, the
Atlantic and Great Western will do as
we'll as any Of the adjacent railways. Mr.
Kennard, the engineer in chief, states in
his report, dated 9th Of April, that, owing
to the rapid development of the country,
has taken place to a great extent
since his first report, a much larger equip
nent of the line will be rendered necessa
ry; and he had reason to believe that, as
soon as all the connections, are properly
made the trafice will exceed that OF the
and North Western Railway in
England. Mr.. Kennard of course means
hat the traffic per mile will exceed that
the London and North Western, and
not that these 260 miles will earn a gross
of five millions sterling per an
num. Well, we readily admit that the
.rafic must be enormous; and if Mr.. Ken
nerds estimate should prove over sanguine
and the mileage receipt should prove
equal to about half that of London and
North Western, which is, perhaps, more
han probable, the bondholders and the
shareholders, with their little capital of.
FIVE millions sterling, all told,
will have every cause to be well satisfied

Total miles.
OF these $50 miles there remained, at
the end ofs1S63, 125 to be completed
but of these 125 miles the chief part
seems to have been well advanced and
of the Gallon to Dayton section, the one
unopened portion of the entire through
line from New York to st. Louis, 80 per
cent. of the earthwork and masonry was
finished, and it was expected to have been
opened for traffic some time during the
present month.
But the extraordinary rapidity with
which this great railway has been con-
structed constitutes the one marked dis
t~iDction between it and all other railways
the affairs Of which have attracted our at
tention. The Ohio section of this line
was organized or projected in 1851, the
Pennsylvania section in 1857, and the
New York section in 1859 but in May,
1862, only sixty miles in the New York
and Pennsylvania sections, from Salaman-
ca to Cory, were opened for traffic, and
the work was virtually suspended. Then
the contract was re-let to Mr. MeHenry,
the well known cont. actor and under him
no less thar FOG miles were brought into
working order before the close of 1863, a
period of 10 months only, and the entire
undertaking will probably be flushed dur
ing the present year.
This, in the face of a DEPRECATED cur
rency in the states ; the disfavor in which
other American security stand on this side
the Atlantic, where much of the money
has been raised /; the scarcity and greatly
EXCHANGED value of labor and materials
in the States, and the unusual commercial
disturbances on account of the civil war,
is an Hurculean labor which might have
appalled, even George Stephenson.4Rut
Mr.. M'Henry is, it appears, not only good
at earthworks and bridges, but is an un-
usually able fnancier as well, and the re-
port uses NO exaggerated Language when
It declares that sto his indomitable will
and determined efforts under most adverse
circumstances, as also to his remarkable
inanciai-talent, is the enterprise indebt-
ed for its SUCCESS" To have talent in
hand and completed 296 miles of railway
IN q year ard a half, sven under the most
favorable circumstances, with cheap and
plentiful money, labor, and materials,
would have been q greater achievement,
we believe than railway history records !;
but, under the specially adverse cireum-
tances Of this case, the epluok," energy,
and talent displayed, are without any par
allel.. Mr. M'Henry, and his associate,
Mr. Thomas w. Kennard, have literally
made the property, and when Mr.. Smiles
publishes another edition of his admira-
BILE work, We commend this line to his
notice as worthy of q place beside the
great victory of Chatmcss. RI Il
The main line is not completed, as we
have been shown, and the traffic receipt
of 1868 was there ore derived from local
and isolated sources, affording no index
