Means of the Company.
Estimating the distance to be built by the Union
Pacific to be 1866 miles, the United States Gov
ernment 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 So, 2os, 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 the entire line, the
bonds of the United States being subordinate to
them.
The Government makes donation of Il, 500
acres of land to the mile, amounting to 90 600
acres, estimated to be worth $50 100000, making
the total resources, exclusive of the capital $lis
10000 but the full value of the lands cannot
now be realized. .E-.sr-
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 viii be required.
The cost of the road is estimated by competent
engineers to be about one hundred million dollars,
exclusive of equipment.
Prospects for Business.
The railroad connection between Omaha and
the East is now complete, and the earnings of the
Union Pacific on the sections already finished for
the first two weeks in May we're S1l3, 900. These
sectional earnings as the road progresses will
much more than pay the interest on the Compa-
ny's bonds, and the through business over the on
ly line of railroad between the Atlantic and Pa
cific must be immense.
Value and Security of the Bonds.
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 SIT miles of
road, on which over twenty million dollars have
already been expended ION $50 miles of this
road the now running, and the remaining
ls7 miles are nearly completed.
AT the present rate of premium on gold these
bonds pay an annual interest on the present cost
of g-.-
Mine Per Cent,
and it is believed that on the completion of the
road, like the Government Bonds, they will go
| above par. The Company intend to sell but 4
limited amount at the present low rate and retain
he right to advance the price at their option.

lawful to arrest and imprison the plaintiff
without any form or judicial investigation,
it would certainly have been not less lawful
to do the same thing upon the finding and
sentence of military tribunal. 1t can hard
ly be said that the laws of war could be ap-
piled to the plaintiff for the purpose OF pun
ishment but not for the purpose of trial.

United States in the case e1 parte Milligan,
already quoted. On the question whether
congress has the constitutional power to es.

districts where the war is not being actually
| waged, the court was divided.
/ But ON oil those principles which govern
the case now under consideration, there was
entire unanimity. The majority held the
imprisonment Illegal, and discharged him
| ON the ground that in state where no wal
prevailed and the jurisdiction of the civil
courts was undisturbed, neither congress mol

The minority of the court, while they dis

do, nevertheless, concur in the judgement o.

ground that congress had not in fact author
lied the creation of military tribunals in In
diana, and because the sentence of such q
tribunal, passed upon Milligan, was void
and his imprisonment Illegal. The power
of the executive department to try and i'm
prison Milligan by virtue of the laws of war
and in the absence of congressional authori

court =

Letter from General Beauregard.
HIS OPINION ON PUBLIC AFFAIRS.

New ORLEANS, Jan. H. The fol-
lowing letter from General Beaure-
gard was received yesterday:
New ORLEANS, Jan. 10, 1867.
Wiliiam FL. C. King. Esq, Editor Of
the New Orleans Times:
In your paper this morning you
publish an article from the New York
Herald, containing some remarks re-
lative to a speech | am reported to
have made at Canton, Mississippi, to
the Congressional excursionists lately
in this city. The Herald is in error !;
| made no speech at Canton or else
where, to those excursionists, but con-
versed with them freely, and openly
told them that the South had fought
the North so desperately because it
was defending what it conceived to
be its Constitutional rights; that hav-
ing appealed to the arbitration of arms
it yielded to the decision which was
given against it; that [ believed the
people of the South were now willing
to accept the Constitution as made by
war and understood by the Supreme
Court of the United States | said,
also, in my opinion that the questions
of secession and slavery were forever
settled and SO far as | was concern
ed under no circumstances would
countenance any effort to revive them.
That we must now direct our energies
and our vitality to repairing the dam
ages of war and restoring to our
homes some of those comforts and
that prosperity which they formerly
enjoyed. In answer to questions
of some of the excursiOuists, if
thought the South would accept the
Constitutional amendments, | replied
that eschewing politics and attending
strictly to private business and the
duties OF my position, | had little OPP
portunity except through newspapers
to ascertain pnbIic sentiments OH the
subject, but if they desired to know
my individual opinion, ] would say
that the South would not and should
not accept those amendments even if
presented as finality, for its inter
ests and manhood forbade it; that we
we'll know that we are now at the
mercy of the North, but that the South
would never do anything which it,
honor could not approve 10 protect
its interests, and | believed would re-
main passive spectators Of the strug-
gle going on at the North. relying on
the sober second thought of sense and
Justice to both parties to protect rs.
| added that at the fall of the cOnfed-
eracy, instead of going to a foreign
country to swear allegiance to its gov
ernment, | preferred remaining in my
own and swearing allegiance to what
| conceive to be its new government.
In conversation with the excursion
lists | used the words, consolidated
government when speaking of the
United States Government. Imeant.
OF course, common federal national
government operating under the Con
stitation as interpreted by the Su-
preme Court of the United States.
! remain yours, very respectfully.
