port on the internal commerce of the United
States, just published, states that the value of
the railroads of the United States is about
twenty-three times the value of the shipping
engaged in our foreign commerce. and that the
value of our internal commerce is twenty-five
times the value of our foreign commerce; that
81 per cent CT grain shipped from the west to
the seaboard during the last year was trans
ported on railroad lines, and that over 80 per
cent. of the entire internal commerce of the
country is on railroads. Although the total
contribution of the government to the close of
the year 1876 in aid of railroad construction
amounted to $l44, 600, 600, embracing land
grants and subsidies to Pacific railroads. vet
this sum is only per cent. of the entire cost of
the railroad system of the United States.

The Abandonment Of the Line of the Jan.
ira.
VIENNA, July 1.-THE Abandonment of the
Line of the Jantra by the Turks is more sur
prising since to judge from the defence of the
bridge at Biela, where the Turks repulsed the
first attack of the Russians with considerable
loss, it might have been supposed they intend
ed to defend that line and by threatening the
Russian flank to prevent the enemy from ad-
vancing into the interior, The Turks have so
completely suppressed all information about
the disposition and movements of their troops,
that no idea can be formed of what they mean
to do, but the abandonment of this line shows
either utter helplessness or else very deep
laid plan.
