MANY PERSONS ARE SELLING
THEIR GOVERNMENT BONDS WHILE
THE PUEMIUM is STILL LARGE (as the
Treasury has promised to buy thirteen mil
lions in December) AND REINVEST IN THE
FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS of the CEN
TRIAL RAILROAD of IOWA, WHICH
PAY ABOUT ONE-THIRD MORE IN
TEREST. THE TIME TO MAKE SUCH
REIMBURSEMENT is uhile the Treasury is
buying, and Governments are at a premium.
THE ROAD DOES NOT RUN THROUGH
A WILDERNESS, where it would have to
wait years for population and business, but
i've agricultural counties in the State, which
gives each section lar e traffic as soon as com
pleted.
1t runs through the great coal fields of
Southern Iowa to the North where coal is in
dispensable and must be carried
1t runs from the great lumber regions Of the

The New York INDEPENDENT says, eve know
the Central Railroad of Iowa is one of the
great and good works of the age. Its Direc-
tors include many of our leading bank presi-
dents and other gentlemen of high character,
who have means enough to build two or three
such roads out of their own pockets, so that all
its affairs will be ably as well as honestly man
aged. The Central of Iowa will be to that
State what the New York Central is to this,
except that it runs through a far richer coun-
try. We therefore recommend the Central
Iowa Bonds, with entire confidence in their
value. The truth is, that First Mortgage OF
$4,000 per mile upon road running through
such country cannot be otherwise than safe"

MONTREAL STEAMSHIP CoMPANY.-We pub
fish to-day in another column statement of
the passages made and passengers carried by
the Montreal Ocean Steamship Company dur
ing the season of 1862 The average during
the thirty passage to and from the st. Law
renee was days, 10 hours and minutes West
ward; and days, 16 hours and minutes East
ward. During the % winter passages to Port
land the average has been, Westward IL days,
% hours and minutes; Eastward 10 days, 10
hours and IA minutes. This is a nightly graft
flying result, of which the rroprietors of this
splendid line may well feel proud. The short
est passage was made by the HISTORIAN, which,
leaving Liverpool on September 80, arrived in
8 days and hours. The Peruvian and Prus-
sian also made Westward passages in a little
over days. These three vessels made also
three successive voyages in less than days.
the shortest being that of the Prussian, in 8
days and 16 hours. During the summer months
they brought 16.430 Storage passengers; dur
ing the winter, 4,154. 1t is the intention of
the Messrs. Allan, we understand to run a
line of steamers from this port to Liverpool all
the year round, as soon as the Portland & Og-
