BOARD OF DIRECTORS.
2b the Stockholders: -By virtue of my'
olice as Chairman of your Board of
Directors, I have the pleasure to submit
the following os a summary of the
working of your company, since your
organization 14th day of. June, last.
Your President elect, Maj. Campbell
Wallace, was duly notified of his elect
ion, and in reply he stated that it was
at that tinie out of his power to accept
the office. Since then 1 have no advices
to re;>ort.
Tne Treasurer’s report shows the gross
amount of receipts $4,074; and his dis
bursements to have been $2,487 38;
leaving a nett balance in the treasury
to-day, after paying all liabilities of $1,-
586,62. It gives me great pleasure to
state that all bills against the company
have been promptly mot with the money
when preseuled; and while in this con
nection, I would suggest the name of
your Treasurer, Mr. R. L. Moss, as just
ly due your esteem and gratitude for
the services he has rendered, without
receiving any compensation. The same
may be said r.f all your officers, except
the Secretary, whose salary has been
fifty dollars per month. From this
you will readily perceive a willingness
on the part of your officers to manage
the affairs of the company with the
greatest.ecouomv and prudence, which
should win for it confidence and aid
from every well wisher.
The entire line from Athens to the
Air-Line Rail Road has been carefully
surveyed, and estimates made thereon
by your Chief Engineer, Mr. W. W.
Thomas. His rcjsirts and profiles are
herewith submitted, and cannot fail to
be greatly interesting to all well wishers
to your enterprise.
The route known as the Jefferson
route is estimated to cost $860,688 43;
aud the route known as the Harmony
Grove route, crossing the Oconee River j
Dear Newton's Bridge, showsanestimat-!
«xl cost of $736,571 82; from this j
you will notice the Harmony Grove
route to have the preference in money
estimate; and it remains for the future
development of other advantages to
determine whether this great advant
age cau be overcome in fiivor of the
Jefferson route or not. In prospecting
the future of our infant enterprise. I
must speak most encouragingly. We
liave stock pledged to-day to the amount
of $230,000, and a prospective ad-
. ditkuial sum of i ftv or sixty thousand
dollars; making a sum total of $280,-
000 or $290,000. This is aihfte to
build a road adequate for all the present
wants of the people; aud it oaly re
mains uow for every stockholder to set
promptly and squarely in meeting the
installments nude on his stock, to
warrant the completion of the work ia
due course of time. It is also to he
would not allow the three millions they
had spent on that branch of their Road
to lay unproductive longer than they
could see their way dear to connec
tions on this side. * ; J
Respecting the connections on this
side, I have this moment received die
following dispatch, which explains it
self:

We have nothing to hope for from
ihu Georgia Rail Road until our line
is completed to the Airline Rail Road;
but so soon as this connection is made,
then Tt will be that the Georgia' Rail
Road will see her interest clear to push
the work forward to Knoxville. By
this they will reinstate their losses, bv
drawing*' business direct from'the far
West tftlwsrahtmrd. ; ,’
Mr counsel is that you look to no
gods for help, but let us ever rely on
our body corporate—that power which
makes ail our arms one ann, and all;
our souls one mind; the arm to'labor.-
and the raiud to direct. This will
build a road in fact—oub and our
children's, now and forever.

• REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER.
To the President and Board of Direc
tors of the North-eastern Railroad
Company.:—Gentlemen:
’ Under instructions from your Busi
ness Committee, I have made an ac
curate instrmental examination of that,
portion of your line lying between
A'thensand its junction with the Atlanta
and Richmond Air-line Rail Road,'
and have the honor to submit to your
consideration the following results of
my operations. •' •'»' •
The topography of the- country is
such that between the extreme points
indicated, there are two lines, and two
only, worthy your consideration, name
ly : 1st. The ridge on the western side
of the North Oconee River, known as
the Jefferson line; and 2nd. The ridge
on Eastern side of same stream, known
as the Harmony Grove line.
These two ridges, well-defined in
their general character, with an eleva
tion of 200 feet above the river, are
both admirably adapted to the con
struction of a first class Railroad; the
easy undulations of a ridge crest pre
senting an unusually favorable profile.
Any attempt to leave either of them is
attended with some difficulty and heavy
work.
THE JEFFERSON LINE
leaves the corporate limits of the Town
of Athens near the University High
School, and occupying the summit of
the ridge, follows the wagon road close
ly from Athens to Jefferson; leaving
Jefferson 1200 feet to the right and
crossing the Gainesville road one mile
beyond. Curvingtotherighttwomiles
from Jefferson, it passes through the
plantation of J. L. Story, to the Hog
Mountain road, near the residence of
Mrs. Fair. Still curving to the right
at this point, the.line follows the ridge
occupied by the Hog Mountain road,
until a sharp deflection to the left at
tains the summit of the elevated ridge
leading to Randall Court Ground.—
Deflecting to the left again at Randal’s
Court Ground, the line follows the
Gainesville road to the vicinity of MU-
ler’s Bridge. ' Crossing the river near
this point, the line passes by John
Brownings and Timber Ridge Old
Field, occupy lag the ridge between the
river and Chandler’s Creek for a dis
tance of six miles. Leaving the ridge
near Mr. Bennefs, and crossing the
headwaters of Chandler’s Creek near
Hawkin's Mill, the line connects with
the Harmony Grove line near Grassy
Knobs, from w.iich point to the Air
line Railroad the two lines coincide.—
The total distance, from Athens ro the
Air-line Railroad, is $9.48 miles. I
estimate this line to cost as Allows:

Air-line Railroad.
The ridge upon which this line runs,
yields a . profile rarely if ever equalled
in a country to broken os that through
which it passes. Straight, smooth,
and unbroken, it. seems a mighty em
bankment, forty miles in length and
200 feet high, built by nature for the
reception of another great, iron vein of
commerce. I estimate this line to cost
as follows:

The maximum grade per mile will
be 66 feet, and the sharpest curve re
quired will have a radius of l,910.feet.
The above estimates arc the results
of actual calculations, and both lines
give hasier profiles than those developed
by Mr. Grant’s survey of 1869.'
My operations were entirely satisfac
tory and complete, with one exception:
the ascent of the Chattahoochee ridge.
The country at this point i* exceedingly;
rugged and difficult, and we. will- en
counter, on the last three miles, heavy
work and steep grades; but as the as
cent of the ridge will he somewhat af
fected by fhe direction from which it is
approached, and as your object in mak
ing these surveys is a comparison of
the two routes described above, the
two lines converging at the foot of the
ridge, I thought it best not to loose
more time at that point until the line
of locution was,decided upon. The
foregoing estimates, however, cover the’
expense of ascending the ridge.
•You will perceive, then, from the.
estimates given, above, which are made
at fair prices, and from an examination
of the profiles herewith presented, that
the Harmony Grove line presents the
following points of advantage over the
Jefferson line:
1st. The alignment is better, and
there is no heavy grade coming South,
as there would be at the river, on the
Jefferson line.
2d. A saving of 2.48 miles in dis
tance; which, taking the Jefferson line
at $21,800 61 per mile, is equivalent
to the sum of $54,065 51. In addition,
there will be saved the maintenance,
wear and tear and time of runniug
over 2.48 miles of unnecessary line.
3d. A saving in actual cost of
$1,895 81 per mile, aggregating between
Athens and the Air-line Railroad,
$124,116 61.
These differences and results lead me
to the conclusion that the natural route
for your line will be via Harmony
Grove; and as a question of Engineer
ing, which alone has been kept in view
during my investigations, I would re
commend the location of the line indi
cated. Other considerations, however,
hearing upon the question of location,
may affect your decision and lead you
to a different conclusion.
In conclusion, I would commend to
your most favorable consideration
Capt J. Colder Turner, 1st Assistant,
and Mr. E. F. Hurt, 2d Assistant, to
whose energy and skill I am greatly in
debted for the rapid progress of the
surveys, and for the results placed be
fore you,
I have the honor to be, very respect
fully, your obedient servant,

Agricultural Report.
Washington, October 17.—Official
from the Agricultural Bureau : The
cotton .return* of. October nre no more
favorable than those of tbe preceding
month. In no State is tbe average of
September fully sustained. The gen
eral average of the condition in the
first week of the present month is
seventy-six 'per cent., against eighty
percent, in September. In some sec
tions. in.the Mississippi.Valley and in
Texas improved p^rospects are reported,
while the preponderance of testimony
in the Southwest^ as well as on the
Atlantic coas^ -fhvors a further reduc
tion of the expected yield. Thoper-
oeatage of condition in the several
States isos follows; North Carolina,

Florida,'73; Alabama, 75; Mississip
pi, 76; Louisiana, 7$; Texas, 72;
Arkansas, 82; Tennessee, 94 *
The injuries reported are from rust,
shedding of bolls prematurely, suffi
ciently low temperature to check do
velopment of bolls in the more north
ern latitude, floods and inundations in
Florida and Georgia, sprouting or
rotting of bolls froin rain and drouth

A Washington dispatch in the Cour
ier Journal of Saturday, says;
The Ku-klux proclamation to-day
! turns out . to be a most important step
' in a new prihgt to be pushed toward
the South. It is now known positively
that for more than six weeks, or ever
since the Ko-klux Committee returned
from the South, the administration has
had under consideration a policy to be
enforced, not only against the so-called
Ku-klux oiganization, but in the ad
ministration of Federal civil' affairs in
the South. There wa3 no substantial
difference of opinion among the Presi
dent and the Cabinet and the leading
Representatives who favored this new
order of thing*, except as to the time
when it should be enforced,, and that
accounts for the delay until after the
October elections,
MARTIAL LAW.
The proclamation is, therefore, but
n the fon-runnerof martial - law nnd the.
su jjen -ion of the wril' offiafctw corpus,
os provided by the fourth section of the
act of April 20, which says that any
Ku-klux oiganization or combination
shall be deemed a rebellion against the
government, the limits of which shall
be prescribed by proclamation com
manding the insuigents to disperse be
fore tbe privileges of the writ of habeas
corpus are suspended. M
WHOLESALE AHCF-TT?.
A prominent minister (if the Gospel,
and also a leading Repubjfeau, stated
today that the arrangeffitnts of the
civil and military for wholesale arrests
of members of the Ku-klux Klan had
been perfected, and that the country
would be surprised, if the proclamation
were not heeded, by the arrest of well-
known Southern men. ~ ;
WAR AGAINST CARPET BAGGERS
Inasmuch as it is averred thrt out
rages in the South are provoked by the
corruption of officeholders and their
plunder of the people, it is the inten
tion of the President to begin warfare
against all corrupt Federal officials and
to invite the co-operation of all good
Republicans for the displacement of
bad State officials.—This is to go hand-
in-hand with the enforcement of the
Ku-klux law, until it is stated that
there is a lasting peace in the South.

Chkjago, Oct. 15.—The latest re
ports from the terrible fires in North
ern Wisconsin and Michigan represent
the loss of life as being fearful. Some
seven to eight hundred dead bodies had
already been recovered, aiid it is be
lieved the number will reach fully one
thousand, and the wounded two hun
dred. This comprises at least three-
quarters of the population. = ,
Milwaukee, Oct. 15.- -Later ac
counts from Northern Wisconsin con
firm all previous reports and rumors.
The loss of lite in the neighborhood of
the burued village of Peshtigo will
reach over twelve hundred, for fifteen
per cent, of those injured cannot re
cover.
The fire tornado was heard at a dis
tance like tltoronring of the sea. Balls
of fire were soon observed to fall like
meteors in different parts of the tqwu,
igniting whatever they touched. ’ ,Peo- |** >m
pie rushed with their children in.lbelr p • l<P
arms for a place of safety^ but the
storm of fire was upon them, and en
veloped them in flames, sntoke, burn
ing sand and cinders, anti those that
were not able to reach the river were
suffocated and roasted alive.
This terrible scene happened on Sun
day night, the 8th of October, already
made famous by the Chicago horror.
A member of the relief commit tee sent
from Milwaukee with supplies says the
only survivors were those who were
fortunate enough to reach the water,
many throwing themselves into a mill
pond and cliuging to floating logs. A
number of hese were drowned by be
ing thrown from tbe logs by maddened
horses and cattle tliat rushed into the
water. The fiery cyclone swept over a
track of country eight or ten miles
wide. Every building, fence and all
the timber were licked up dean by the
tongue of fire. The town of Peshtigo
numbered two thousand, one-third of
whom perished on that feaiful night.
Beports from the east shore of the
Green Bay place the loss of life fully
as high as at Peshtigo. The same ac
count states that.the immediate wants
of the people are supplied, but large
amounts of provisions ond dothing will
be required for the coming winter.—
Mayor Ludington, of-Milwaukee, pub
lishes the following appeal for aid:
“ Milwaukee, Oct. 14.—The ca
lamities that have befallen our State
nnd some of our neighboring States are
truly appalling. Over 1,600 men,
women and children have been burned
to death in Wisconsin alone; their
business, houses and farms, to a large
extent, entirely destroyed, the very soil
having been burned, and all their au
tumn and root-crops destroyed. They
are utterly destitute, and wpj require
full support, at least until another sea
son. Seven counties in ofir 6wn State
are thus, in great part, utterly deso
late. Whole regions of country in
Western Michigan are in the same con
dition, and these fires are still raging
and destroying. ‘
“ Milwaukee’s doing all Mte can do.
By her dose neighborhood to Chicago
she was .enabled to send huge quanti
ties of supplies into that devasted city
during the progress of the fir*, feeding
her firemen and exhausted citizens.—
Vast numbers of Chicago: sufferers are
now filling.our houses and public build
ings, and we minister to their necessi
ties. We have supplied hun’dreds of
tone of provisions nnd dothing, and
stoves, and other needful articles to
Cbieago, to northern Wisconsin, and to

best, bat the amount of suffering in
our own State is beyond our power
alone- to assuage. We appeal to the
public for aid. We will De the dis
