Com. jvt Western and Atlantic KniJ Road Report, j t Office Hoard Com. IV. Atlantic Railroad, \ 0 Maiiietta, April 13th, 1838. j r To Lis Excellency Geouoe I{. Oi i-meti. Cove: nor of Georgia : j [ Sir.—The fourth section of an act of the Gen.’ I oral Assembly, passed on the Slid of December v 1837, providing, among other things, for the ap- i pointrnent of a Board of Commissioners for the j |; Western and Atlantic Itailroad of the Slate of p Georgia, declares it to bo “the duty of the pros! - j v dent of that board to make quarterly returns to ! [■ the Governor, of the disbursements of the current j (1 quarter, accompanied by the necessary vouchors I —tho amount of work finished during the same j period—and an accurate statement of the condi- I P lion and progress of the road; which returns (the g act directs) shall he published for tho information |> of tho people.” j. In conformity with these, prescriptions, I have i the honor to make the following report for tho ( first quarter of thecunent year. Tho commissioners who were elected to office at Ihe closo of tho last session of the General As- l . sctnbly, convened for the first time, at Cassville, 1: on the Isth of January, and organized aboard J: for tho transaction of business. The length, gen eral direction, and to some extent, the locality of I' the road, having been determined by the previous !1 administration, die plan, dimensions, and other 11 matters connected with its structure, called for tho earliest deliberations of the board. In view " ol the probable amount of transport which might * he demanded by the Utlure exigencies of com merce, between the Western and Southern At. lantic Stales, it was, on conference with tho chief s engineer, deemed expedient to construct the road j ou a grade of sufficient breadth for a double tract, .• to use none but the most approved form of edge f, tad; and to employ in the erection of bridges vin p ducts and other appurtenances to the ordinary fi grade, mechanics of known experience and archi- g , icctural celebrity. As its fortunate position see- / mod to give assurance of the most extended use- n fulness; it was determined to render it, when t completed, an achievement worthy of the ambi tion and resources es Georgia. Tho cost of a work of such magnitude, over surfaces broken 1 by deep ravines arid mountain heights, was fore j seen to be great; yol bearing no comparison with its intrinsic value. ‘ ‘ -The report of the chief engineer having appri* ( sect the hoard that the surveys and locations were i in forwardness, he had orders to give notice with- , out delay, in the public gazettes of this and other j States, that sealed proposals would be received at , Marietta, during the first week in April, forexe- ■ puling masonry and grading. This was accord., 1 mgly done—about seventy proposals were offered, J and enough accepted to place under contract up.. 1 wards of fifty miles of the road—tins details of 1 which will more properly belong to my report for ‘ tho second quarter. But it was represented to 1 the hoard that contractors then in the neighbor- ' hood desired immediate employment; and not to 1 delay or lose labor which would so swon hu called 1 for, Col Long was instructed to assign work to 1 cvuty applicant, on the express condition that it should be executed under the immediate inspec tion and control of the engineer department, and compensated at such rales as might hu approved and accepted by the hoard at the public lotting in April. Light or ten parlies commenced on these i Cams, and in the course of last monb, the aggro- I gate number o( hands engaged in excavation ! and embankment amounted to little less than five hundred. About the same time two offers iveto i made to supply hewn chesnut and oak sills and 1 s “ wcil lumber for bridges and viaducts, which Col. Long thought proper to accept, and the board lias since ratified his contracts. Hereto appended I transmit a statement, with appropriate vouchers, exhibiting tho whole , amount oi excavation and embankment executed | within tne first quarter—the quantity and des. j 1 cnptiun of limber delivered, and the prices paid ! lor each. Tint route of the raihoad, as prescribed by the 1 first enactment on the subject, extended from the Chattahoochee river to the Tennessee boundary line; which was surveyed and partially located ‘ before the passage of the amendatory act in Do- I cumber, 1837. it was thrown into divisions of , liom seventeen tu twenty miles in length—and 1 i these into sections of about one mile: both diws- . ions and sections designated by numbers com mencing at the Chattahoochee. But the net last mentioned having directed an extension of the road east of the river, that part, nearly eight miles in length, has since been located, and is , uo.v known as the DeKulb division, and forms the lust number of the series onward to the Tennes see boundary. This whole route has been sur veyul, nearly sixty miles located, and recommits. ' auccs made on several lines to the Tennessee ri ver. As there is no immediate necessity for i, ' and our engineers have other occupations, it is nut hkely that the part of the route which lies through the territory of Tennessee to the point , at "melt it is to intersect the river, will bo loca led earlier than the middle or end of the ensuing . summer. . In their efforts to procure concessions of the right ut way,and oilier facilities for road making tho Commissioners have had as much success as might have been reasonably expected. N’oiticon- 1 ■udetable part of the lands (rat creed hv (he nil / vay, from the Chattahoochee Northwestwardly, lelougs lo nonresidents, very few of whom have .N jccn seen or heard from. Among the inhabit- ai tots, several have generously made gratuitous a ■onceisions of every thing asked; some have ta- st ten fair compensation, and when they could not vs rc had on such terms, rccuur*o has been bad to ai irbilration. In every case where exorbitant da- ti: nages were awarded, appeals have or will beta- tl: ten to a special jury. In the town ofMatielta, ol he citizens have displayed a liberality and pain- “ itism, which entities them to the highest prai-c. tc The broad embankments of our railway, wiil w ;over almost the entire surface of one street, and V aart of a contiguous tango of lots; involving the tl aecessity of removing buildings anti lenccs, and 1 tr n some degree obstructing the wonted use of T truss streets; yet it has been resolved, inp-bliejg own meeting 1 , that these privations would bo ; tl mbmitled to, with little or no expense to tho | d Slate. ; k I am unwilling to close this communication > u without a commendatory notice of the Engineer h torps, employed on this service. Whilst their jt! jcnllemanly deportment has given them ackowl- • it ;dged claims to the respect and friendship of g [hose with whom they have had intercourse, they j 'i have furnished proofs of professional talent and c efficiency, in which the Slate may have assuraii l j l ces, that every thing expected of them, will bo : s fully realized.

When they had go» ,o the bottom, it occurred to one of them, that hey might have spared themselves the trouble if carrying it down, by letting it roll down. •Verily,” said he, “vve are the stupidest of fools, ;o take these extraordinary pains to do that vhich we might have done with so little trouble. Wo will carry it up and then let it roll down ho hill by itself, as we did, before, with the rces which we felled for our council house.”— I'his council pleased them all. and with still ;reater labor they canidd the stone to the top of he mountain again, arid were about to roll it Jown when one of them said, “But how shall wo know where it runs to ! who will be able to tell us aught about it 1” “VVhv said the bailiff, who had advised the stone’s being carried up again, this is very easily managed ; one of us must stick in this hole (for the millstone had of course a great hole in the middle,) and run down with it.” This was agreed to and one of them having hem chosen for the purpose thrust his head through the hole and ran down the hill with the mill, stone* Mow at the bottom of the mountain was a deep lish pond, into which the stone rolled, and the simpleton with it, so that the Schildhurghcrs lost both stone ami man, and not one among them knew what had become of them. And they tell sadly angered against their old companion who had rundown the hill with the stone, for they considered that ho had carried it off, for the purpose of disposing of it. So (hey published a notice in all tiro neighboring boroughs, towns, and villages, calling on them, “if any one came there with a millstone round his neck, that they should treat him us one who had stolen ihe com mon goods, and gtvo him to justice. But the poor devil lay in the pond, dead. Had he been able to speak, he would have been willing to tell them not to worry themselves on his account, for he would give them their own again. But his load pressed so heavily upon him, and carried him so deep in the water, that he, after drinking water enough—more, indeed, ihari was good for him—died, and he is dead at the present day; and dead ho will, shall, and must remain. —foreign Quarterly Review.
