CHICAGO, DANVILLE AND VINCENNES RAILROAD. Line of Road.—Chicago, Ill. (via Danville) to Junction with the Evansville, Terre Haute and Chicago Railroad at Indiana State Line............. .......140 miles. The road is in process of construction, and was completed and opened for business to Momenee, 55 miles from Chicago, in October, 1869. In connection with the Evansville and Crawfordsville road, now in operation from Evansville to Rockville, will form a direct line from Chicago to Evansville, a distance of 288 miles. Upon the completion of the Henderson and Nashville Railroad, now well advanced, a direct line will then be formed between Chicago and Nashville, having a length of 445 miles. At Nashville a connection will be formed with railroads running to every portion of the South and West, the Chicago, Danville and Vincennes RR. will also connect with a line from Lafayette, Ind., north-westwardly, to meet with this road at or near Sheldon (on the Toledo, Peoria and Warsaw RR.) The road will also traverse a section which has not yet been supplied with railway accommodations. Extensive and valuable deposits of coal and iron are found on portions of its line. It traverses the celebrated Brazil coal fields, covering an area equal to about 144 square miles, and furnishing some of the best coal for making iron in America. Some $3,000,000 have already been invested in the erection of furnaces and iron mills in the vicinity of these coal fields. These various coal fields reached by this road are expected to be the chief future source of supply for Chicago, which now consumes about 800,000 tons per annum, and which is mainly brought from the coal fields of Ohio and Pennsylvania. The bonded debt of the Company will equal $2,500,000, the principal and interest of which are payable in gold. The bonds will bear 7 per cent. interest. Directors.-James W. Elwell, James D. Fish, W.
