CHICAGO, September "A, 1866. -

The above official announcement is pub
viii lighsd in the Chicago dailies Of the oath
Thecsuecesss Of tlfis--the most stupendous
Art enterprise of the nineteenth century--is
.Uak, alread5 an accomplished fact.I SThe assur-
.,TIanee( Mr.. efDsby to thateEect, strength
ened by the concurrent testimony Of the
wealth yandinAuential Committee appointed
to superntend the drawing and the per-
pI Y b0fA gaasaatee Of Samuel B. NickersOn'
Esq, "a gentleman whose undoubted integ-
rity is backed by unlimited pecuniary
means,) has appeared in former issue of
thigB4ers The sale Of certiic ates has
been rapid and immense, and fully justified
"a Itabs aarthel expectations oflthe most san
guine. But large number still remain In
theJh4qSs ofsage4ts Cseattered all over the
country, the extreme shortness of time las
7fTTI pfrnitaD precIuding the POSSIBLE
ty Of their sale before the date Of drawing
These agents moreover, urgently insist up
on the necessity Of "little more time"
which they assure the Actuary) viii enable
them to secure hundreds of additional SUBJ
,i,s,s scribers who are eager to become bona fda
10, shareholders in the greatest Art scheme of
1ia ancient or modern times III
,f7 One obstacle which has seriously retarded
sales, has beenthel absolute impossibiity
of furnishing engrayings as fast as required
Although theA presses of the Association
have been worked nj ght and day, the. de-
mana.has far exceeded the supply. For
OBJ iods reasons it is desirable that each
applicant. should secure the engraving he
SELECTS, when he purchases his ticket. In
many instances the management have not
been able to conform to this desire, and the
knowledge Of this fact has no doubt delayed
subscriptions that would otherwise have
been freely offered.
Aftey duly considering these facts Mr..
Crosby has concluded - in justice to the
interests he represents, and in Difference to
thewish of,thepubic which (sofar as can be
ascertained) is almost universal - to delay
'' for a short time the closing Of the subscrip-
ITF0fon books, SO as to extend the area of mem
n bersbip as widely as possible, and afford to a
still larger humbera share in the final award
Of magnificent prizes. srYY -
In adopting this course, the Actuary has
consulted the members of the Committee on
drawing and others, who agree with the
management that short extension of time
J will amply suffice at the present rapid rate
Of sale to dispose of the remaining certif-
Gates The names of the committee are O.
sufficient guarantee of the soundness and
disnteresedness of their advice as thor
ough, and competent business men:

The integrity Of all connected with the
management of this colossal enterprise is
too firmly established to admit of a mo-
ments doubt Or oavil. Like the virtue of
isaeCesar.s wife, lit is above suspicion The
honor and reputation of some of the
wegtthiest capitalists and influential bust
nessmen in the country, are identified with
its ultimate triumph and complete success.
For reasons above stated these gentlemen
not only cordially approve but advise this
temporary delay, confident that such
policy will equally inure to the benefit of
the public and the interests ofsthe Associa-
ton. We believe it will have a tendency to
hasten subscriptions 80 as to secure draw
at the earliest possible moment, rather
than embarrass the sale of certificates. No
one who can fern approximate idea of
the enormous scope and magnitude of this
"a truly wonderful MISUNDERSTANDING it
's'' has from the moment Of its organization
(barely three months ago. the establishment
of hundreds of local agencies in nearly
every city, town and hamlet of the States
land Territories; the employment of an i'm
"a" mense clerical force; the printing of thous-
ands of superb engravings, and the immense
details included under the general head of
correspondence, advertising, telegraphing,
M expressing &c.-will hesitate to admit the
necessity or concur in the prOpriety of this
aa4 step on the part of the manag ement.
~ We can assure our readers that the
affairs of the Association were never in SO
sbo prosperous condition as now, and that
, s,, every pledge given or promise made, viii be
faithfully carried out in strict accordance
-. with its original spirit and intent.
