ANNUAL REPORT OF THE ILLINOIS CENTRAL RAIL-ROAD.

The annual report of the Illinois Central Rail-Road gives the following comparative statement of the earnings of the road for 1860 and

1861:

Extra baggage,.

In the working expenses, as shown in the following comparative statement with those of 1860, the items of charter tax, loss on currency, loss and damage by fire, interest and insurance, are not included.

The reduction in expenses is $193,570 38; and the proportion of ex

penses to gross earnings in 1861 is 49 1-100 per cent., against 59 35-100 per cent. in 1860.

COMPARATIVE STATEMENT OF OPERATION EXPENDITURES FOR 1860, 1861.

The total land sales for 1861 were 102,247 acres, for $1,541,041. The aggregate sales since the formation of the company have been 1,236,971 acres, for $16,161,203 15. The unsold acres amount to 1,358,549.

The report of the superintendent says:

"The operations of the Illinois Central Rail-Road, for the year 1861, have been seriously deranged by the service required by the State of Illinois and the general government. The demand for trains for troops and munitions of war have in all cases had preference over our regular business, and the necessity to make up large trains for troops, munitions, &c., has obliged us to sacrifice, at times, our local traffic. The allowance made by the War Department is about two-fifths of our regular tariff charges for troops, and two-thirds for munitions."

The president remarks:

"It would be unjust to the distant owners of this property to shrink from an expression of apprehension in regard to the income of this year, especially from passenger traffic, so long as the Southern insurrection continues. The gross passenger receipts in 1861 were only $361,392 72, being less than the receipts of 1855, and $451,009 less than the receipts of 1856.

"The War Department has agreed to allow the actual expense of transporting troops; but the major part of this service-$207,128 64, performed in 1861-is still unpaid. The first quarter will show a large decrease in freight earnings for there is no way to recover the loss of business at Cairo-and while our communications with the South are cut off, we cannot escape the inevitable consequences of loss and uncertainty.

"The unexpected intervention of special causes has arrested the prosperity of the company, at the moment when it seemed upon the most secure footing. It is beyond individual power to re-establish it until the relations with the South are renewed, or until higher prices for the produce of the country place our farmers in better circumstances."
