Means Of the Company.

Estimating the distance to be builtby the Union
Pacific to be sos miles, the United States Gov
eminent issues its Six per cent Thirty-year bonds
to the Company as the road is finished at the av-
erage rate of about SOS, $50 per mile, amounting
to $44,20s, 600.
The Company is also permitted to issue its own
First Mortgage Bonds to an equal amount, and at
the same time, which by special Act of Congress
are made First Mortgage on the entire line, the
bonds of the United States being subordinate to
them.
The Government makes a donation of l2,S0o
of land to the mile, amounting to 90 032 GOO
acres, estimated to be worth $50 600 000, making
the total resources exclusive of the capital Sis,
4I6, 900 but the full value of the lands cannot
now be realized.
The authorized Capital Stock of the Company
is one hundred million dollars, of which Eve mil
lions have already been paid in, and of which it
is not supposed that more than twenty FIVE mil
lions at most will be required.
The cost of the road is estimated by competent
engineers to be about hundred million dollars,
exclusive of equipment.

The Company respectfully submit, that the
above statement of facts fully demonstrates the
security of their Bonds, and additional proof
they would suggest that the Bonds now offered
are less than ten million dollars on SIT miles of

already been expended on $50 miles of this

cause OF liberty and the maintenance OF
the constitution and the government.
None can have forgotten the language
OF Gov. Andrew In reference to the two
martyrs who fell at that time "Beay
them te'aerly to their homes" words
which reached the hearts of the whole
American people, and at once evinced
the kind heart and great loyalty of this
distinguished gentleman. Thus it is

the memory OF the man whose LOYALTY,
patriotism and efficiency organized that
band Of men who first responded to the
call In hours of the country's peril.
Also his administration OF the financial

the war has been unparalleled in the
history of the nation, and commanded
the warmest admiration of the world.
His character as lawyer and a citizen
needs no words from me, for they are
fully known and appreciated by all the
people Of New England. I trust the
resolution will be unanimously adopted.

THE SOUTHERN CLoUD.-The Worcester
Spy makes the following suggestive ex-
tract from letter recently received in
that city from gentleman in Alabama:
The elections North have
made rebeldom jubllant. Already the
programme is announced that in two
years no Union man will be permitted to
live IN the South that negroes will be
remanded to slavery that negro schools
! VIM be abolished ; mat the South win
| yet govern; that Reputation will GER
talnly follow; that New England will
be reduced to single State or left ont
in the cold; that New York and Penn.
sylvania, unless they behave, will be re-
CURED to accompany New England !;
that the South must Re remunerated for
her sacrifices; that there are no disun-
lonists except In New England that
Southerners villas an eminent secesh
physician said to me-lie, perjure them.
selves, or do anything to defeat the
Union party. Such is the sentiment here
to-day. Northern copperhead journals
are cautioning Southern people to have
no riots, and they will manage the rest.
The advice is acted upon. The pro.
gramme is to offer no personal violence
to white or black till they get the su-
premscy but If one announces himself
a Union man or Republican, patronize
him no longer; starye him out; ostra-
else him; isolate him and if that does
not bring him into subsection, kin him
as soon as the Presidential election is
over. Northern people, being incapable
of such hatred, cannot conceive such to
be the nature of things, and will not be-
lieve it, but 1t is true nevertheless. I
will defy any conscientious Democrat to
live one year in -, and not change
his political opinions.
The whites held aloof from the cleo.
ton here, chiefly on account Of the ne
groes voting but Union men did not
dare to vote for fear of losing their
means Of support. Notwithstanding
there were so many negroes in the city,
yet it was the most quiet election ever
known here"

Middlebury, by council mutually called

eTCertainly impeachment was the
right remedy for the evils into which
the country was plunged by the Acting
President transferring the influence OF
the Executive office to the side of the
enemy in an unsettled war. That was
the great ofense II was notorious.
and the case did not need any minute
searching ior n cause. 1t was not n
cause nor evidence that was lacking
but fidelity and courage We have no
expectation Of seeing such a rally of
these qualities as would be required to
impeach him; but the disturbance and
peril Of the country, the hostility which
of the country, the hostility which
johnson has raised in the once subdued
rebel States, and the measures to which
the broil has driven Congress. all cry
out against the unfaithiulness which
has allowed the cause to remain in the

the constitutional and rightful remedy.
Neglect Of this has driven Congress to
the alternative of taking away his ex
