New York City 1000 MILES UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD ARE NOW COMPLETED. A 8 MO miles of the western portion of the line, beginning at 9 cramento, are also dote, but 267 MILES REMAIN To be Finished, to Open the Grand Through Line to the Pacific. This Opening will certainly take place early this season. Besides a donation from the Government of 12,800 acres of laud per mile, the Company Is entitled to subsidy in U. s Bonds on its rne as completed and accepted, at the average rate of about p 26,500 per Mile; according te the di Mout ties t encountered, for which the GovEnninent take a second lien as security. Whether sub. sidles are given to any other companies or not, the Government will comply with all its contracts with the Union Pacific Railroad Company. Nearly the whole amount of. bonds to which the Comr patty will be entitled have already been delivered. First Mo3Agage Bonds AT PAR. By its charter the Company is permitted to issue its own FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS to the same amount as the Government Bonds, and no ?hare. These Bands are a First Mortgage upon the whole road and alt its equipments. THEY HATRTHIRTY YEARS TO RUN, AT SIX PER CENT, and both , PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST PAYABLE IN GOLD. Such securities ate generally valuable in proportion to the I.n gth of time they hays to run. .The longest air per cent gold interest bonds of the Z., (the 'Bl's) will be due in 12 years, and they are worth 112. If they had.3o years to run, they would stand at not less than 125. A perfectlyaafe First Mortgage Bond like the Union Pacific should approach this rate. The demand for European in vestment ia already considerable, and on the completion of the work will doubtless carry the price to a large premium. SECURITY OF THE BONDS It needs no argument to show that a First Mortgage of 826,500 per mile upon what for a long time must be the only railroad om uecting the Atlantic and pacific States is PERFECTLY MOHR. The entire amount of the mortgage will be about - $30,000,000, and the interest $1,800,000:per annum In gold. 'The present currency cost of this Interest is less than $2,500,000 per annum, while the gross earnings for the yeak 1868, FROM WAY BUSINESS only, on AN AVERAGE OP LESS .

This large amount Is only an indication of the immense traffic that must go over the through line In a few months, when the great tide of Pacific coast travel and trails will begin. It is esti mated that this business must make the earnings of the road from FIFTEEN TO TWENTY' MILLIONS A YEAR. AB the supply of these Bonds win soon cease, Torties who desire to invest in them will And it for theirinterestto dose at once. The price for the present is par and accrued interest from Jan.
