 $40 MILES OF THE UNION PACIFIC RAIL goAD.--We keep hearing of 1t all summer, and late into the autumn-how ten miles of track were laid per day, until the foot of the Rocky Mountains was reached, 5l7 l miles west of Omaha, and one thousand miles west of Chicago. We had supposed that the contractors might stop there-that old Boreas would have blown such a frosty breath ont of the bosom of the frOwning Black Hills. and followed t up with such ;s snow blanket that railroad building would have waited for spring and warmer sun- shine. But no: onward was the word, and to-day the locomotive is within ten miles of the highest summit in the mountain chain that separates the Atlantic and Pa cific States, and during this year Of our Lord 1868, much more than half the dis tance between the Missouri River and the Bay of San Francisco will be spanned by a first class Railroad.
 The California mails and passengers have already been carried through to New York and Philadelphia in fifteen days, and it is expected that during the comlng sea- son the regular time will be reduced to nine days, and that more than half the Pa cifc coast travel will take this route. in- stead of the long, tedious journey of twen- ty-two to twenty-four days by sea. The intervening stage trip between the two ends of the Pacific Railroad line will be but romantic holiday excursion, and we have no doubt that the passenger traffic in that direction this year will be a full ear nest of the immense business that must follow the completion of the work perhaps two years later.
 . The Union Pacific Railroad is especially fortunate Tn many ways. It is true, that unlike any other line, 1t will be monop- oly, but nothing less than monopoly could have commanded the large resources neces- sary to carry 1t through. and it was-all but few far-seeing capitalists declined to stake their fortunes on the result
 It is fortunate in having secured the most generous. government aid, and the government is still more fortunate in be- ing paid back with compound interest.
 It Is also fortunate in escaping all those pecuniary embarrassments. that have so often checked and finally destroyed simi- lar enterprises The stockholders have al- ready paid in eight millions five hundred thousand dollars upon the capital stock on the work already done and this sum and the government aid, and their own First Mortgage Bonds, have given them ample means for the most vigorous prosecution of the great undertaking. We can per- ceive no reason to doubt that this greatest of modern works will go on as vigorously as it has been begun, and that 1870 will see the two sides of the Republic for the first time really nnited, to be-we hope, forever

IRON in the BLOOD.

The necessity of a due proportion of iron in the blood is well known to all medical men; when it becomes reduced from any cause whatever the whole system suffers, the weakest part being first attacked, and feeling of languor, lassitude and ''all goneness' prevades the system. The remedy is simply to supply the blood with the necessary quantity of Iron. This can be done by using the
 PERUVIAN SYRUP, protected solution of the protoxide of Iron. which is 80 prepared that it assimilates at once with the blood giving strength vigor and new life to the whole system.
 To take medicine to cure direases occasion =i by dehciency of Iron i'll the Blood without rest ing It to the system, Is like trying to repair bu ing Wien the foundation is gone. An eminent divine says: ''I have been using the Peruvian Syrup for some time past: it gives me new vgor, buoyance of spirits, elasticity of muscle.

It is not doubted that when the road is completed the through traffic of the only line connecting the Atlantic and Pacific states will be large beyond precedent and, there will be no competition, it can always be done at profitable rates.
 It will be noticed that the Union Pacific Railroad

Central Pacific Railroad, First Mortgage Bonds.

 The Central Pacific Railroad Company offer for
 sale thelr First Mortgage Thrtyyear six-per cent. Gold Bonds and submit to investors the following among other obvious considerations; and invite the comparison with the merits and excelences of | any class of corporate securities: l. These bonds are based upon the most vital and valuable part of the Grand National Pacific Railroad soon to become the main channel of com munication on the continent. II. The local settlement, and the business there from is remarkably large and profitable and must l constantly increase. l H. The hardest part of the road is now built,
 and the remainder will be carried rapidly forward over Salt Lake Plains W. The greater part of the means necessary to | build the road is provided by the U. $. Govern ment upon subordinate lien. V. The State and chief cities of California have
 contributed upward of s 0000 900 to the enterprise I without lien.
 VI The grant of land is destined at an early day to prove of far greater market value than the total of the First Mortgage Bonds issued upon the road and equipments. VII. This road lies altogether among the gold
 and silver producing regions and it's revenues are received in coin. VIII. The management of this Company has been distinguished for prudence and economy; and the surplus earnings, after payment of expen-
 ses and interest, are devoted to construction pur l poses.
 K The interest liabilities of the Company upon
 the portion now in operation are less than third l the net earnings. 1 X. Both principal and interest are payable in
 gold under special provisions of both National and | State enactment, The bonds are in sums of $1 900 each with semi
 annual gold coupons attached, papable in January
 and July and offered for sale at 95 per cent. of
 their par value and accrued interest from Jan 1 | added, in currency. | At th1s time they yield nearly
