Our predictions in relation to the subscriptions to the
Erie Railroad will without DOUBT be verified The books
opened the sh inst, at which time stated that the
three millions required would be taken before the end
OF the month Twenty five hundred thousand dollars Of
the three millions have already been taken leaving only
five hundred thousand to be subscribed during the
naming eight days 1t is gratifying fact to know that
avery large portion of the stock Of this road has been
taken by our actual business men-by those who have
become satisfied that its completion will increase
the trade and prosperity of the city. Very few capita
lists have subscribed far and have no doubt the
balance will bo taken without any aid from the million
aires meeting Of and traders to be,held on
the gath inst in relation to this great work. and we look
for liberal subscriptions from these classes The com.
pIeon of the Erie Railroad is lsnger a matter of
doubt lit is ensured.


We learn that little over 5000 900 of the capital
stock OF the Syracuse and Oswego Railroad has been

near the route The balance$i00Oo0 will probably be

scrpons in few days II is estimated that the whole
line. thry.sx miles, can be put in operation with
heavy rail- for the capital stock $3.50 600 This is a very
important line and must from its position only com
mand great deal Of business but must open line Of
communication between tide water and lake
that will give the control Of tho Western trade
against any compstio sind in spite Of any rival route
