 This debt is created by the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Company in order more speedily and effectually to extend and complete the main line of their Road to the Ohio River. This work the important internal improvement now progress ing in the countrY-is rapidly approaching com pletion. It will establish another and superior line of communication between the Ohio and Mis- sissippi valleys and the eastern cities bringing ten millions of people, mainly producers, nearer to the centres of consumption in the Eastern States, and nearer to the political and commercial capitals of their country. Such iS the command ing importance of this Trunk Line that the larger cities of the West are projecting feeders to con- meet with it, so as to avail themselves of its un- equalled facilities as soon as It IS completed. it's route are passing into the hands of practical miners and iron manufacturers; large city IS springing up at the western terminus, the head of reliable navigation on the Ohio where it inter- sects 900 miles of river transit, and will soon be in connection with 3O,00O miles of railroad car riage.

 when the CO6Bdp0dk6 Auu OulO ID pleted in 1872, and the Bonds are dealt in at the Stock Exchanges of the world, we have no doubt they will bo equally popular with the Central Pa; cifcs. Both principal and interest of the Central Pacific and Chesapeake and Ohio Bonds, are speci- fcally payable in gold coin in New York; the in- terest on the former being paid January and July, and of the latter, May and November, correspond ing with the two classes of fFive-twenties.
 We recommend either of them to our friends and customers with the same confidence that we did the Fve-twenty bonds, when we were selling millions for the United States Government.
 We buy and sell Five-Twenties, Ten-F Forties, Eighty Ones, and Central or Western Pacifcs, or receive them in payment for Chesapeake and Ohio Bonds at their current market price.
 Orders for Chesapeake and Ohio Bonds, accom-, panied with Drafts or Checks, may be forwarded to us by mail. Bonds or money may be forward ed by any responsible Express Company at our ex- pense. and the Chesapeake and Ohio Bonds, Tn exchange, will be sent by return Express, charges paid. , r,rou
