nient, we feel that we are but doing
the Institution justice when we say
that we believe that it is all that any
could desire. We are proud of hav
ing such a school in our midst, and
feel thut it is totaiiy unnecessary for
any one to send their daughters away
from home now for an education.—
The manner, the composition and the
reading show thorough and systematic
education. The Baccalaureate address
of Rev. P. A. Heard was one of the
finest we ever heard. After this, was
the long and anxious expected address
of that distinguished young Georgian,
Mr. Albert H. Cox, of LaGrange, of
whom every Georgian is justly proud.
His address was well worthy of him
and fully maintained his high character
as a reasoncr and an orator.

Northeastern 'Railroad.—It is
gratifying to know that our Athens and
Northeast Georgia friends are in pros

the advantages of which are to be of
rcat magnitude to that hitherto neglect
ed section of the State. With an energy
and self-reliance worthy of all admira
tion, the people of that section, tired of
waiting upon the dilatory assistance rea
sonable expected from other quarters,
addressed their individual energies and
contributions to the work. We now
have the results in the location of the
road, and the advertisement, in another
column, for the reception of proposals for
the grading and masonry of the road be
tween Athens and its intersection with
the Atlanta and Richmond Air Line
Railroad—a distance of thirty-eight and

As this was the first opportunity we
had of judging of its present manage-
To the President and Board of Direc
tors Northeastern B. B. Co.
Gentlemen:—Having received in
structions from your President and
Busine.ss Committee, on the 23d of
March, to organize a corps of Engi
neers, as soon as practicable, for the
purpose of locating that portion of
your road lying between Athens and
the “ Air-Line Railroad,” and having
completed all arrangements, on the 2d
day of April the work was commenced,
and pushed forward with the utmost
vigor, so that, by the 15th of Juue,
the location was completed and the
party discharged, with the exception
of Messrs. Hurt and Young, who
have been engaged with me in mak
ing up the profiles, estimates, &c.,
which accompany this report. And I
now have the honor to report that all
the surveys are completed, and your
road ready for contract.
Having run several lines into the
town of Athens, I find several points
favorable for the location of depots,
and have reported the facts in each
case to your President and Business
Committee, and they now have the
matter under consideration.
The accmpanying estimates are made
to cover the cost to any of the pro
posed points. Then, taking up the
location at the crossing of Hampton’s
branch, the line passes up the river,
keeping Li its vicinity, to avoid the
high ridges, making in front the left,
crossing Linton’s branch at an eleva
tion of nineteen feect, with a girder
bridge of twenty feet span; then, by a
straight line, through the edge of Dr.
Linton’s plantation, to Dr. Jones
Long’s. From this point I located
two lines to the top of the ridge near
Moon’s shop, on the Clarkesville road.
The one I have estimated and selected
for your consideration, though not af
fording so good a crossing of the riv
er, i9 the cheapest of the two, and
much the straighter—having lighter
curves and fewer of them. This liue
crosses the river at the lower end of
Dr. Jones Long’s plantation, at the
elevation of twenty-nine feet above
ordinary water; then following up the
slojjes of the ridge with a maximum
grade of sixty-six feet per mile, we
reach the Clarkesville road, three and
three-fourth miles from Athens, on
Mr. Nance’s land. From this point
the line follows the crest of the ridge,
dividing the waters of the Oconee
river and Sandy creek, keeping near
the Clarkesville road, until we reach a
point near the Newtown branches,
then by a slight detour to the left, pass
round the heads of these branches,
with a very light line, losing in dis
tance only one hundred feet, which is
more than compensated for by the easy
grades and amount of work saved.
This brings us to a point known as
the “Hatter-shop,” from which place to
the Dry branch, two miles below Har-
any country. Having followed this
ridge for thirty miles without crossing
water, we arive at the point for leav
ing it—the liue from this point to the
** Air-Line Railroad” being our most
expensive work. It required a greater
amount of care and labor in deter
mining the location than any other
part of the line. By referring to Mr.
Thomas’ report, you will see that in
speaking of this point, he says, “ The
country at this point is exceedingly
rugged and difficult, and we will en
counter on the last three miles heavy
work and steep grades”—Mr. Thomas
having ascertained, by actual survey,
that the only practicable route by
which we could reach the “ Air-Line
w ailroad,” with either the Jefferson or
Harmony Grove liue, was through
Cook’s Gap, at the head of Candler’s
creek, half mile west of Poplar
Spring.
I did not waste time in looking for
other routes, but went to work at once
to find the shortest and cheapest route
to this gap. Therefore, instead of fol
lowing the ridge which here turns
sharply to the right, the line keeps on,
and with a light descending grade,
reaches Chandler’s creek, crossing this
stream to the west side, to avoid the
great number of branches coming in
from the east, and the high rocky
points between them. Then, keeping
the slopes of the hills, the line follows
up this stream to its head, and passes
through Cook’s gap, with a maximum
grade of seventy-one feet per mile. I
found this line to be a saving of three-
fourths of a mile in distance, and
much less expensive than any other,
h rom Cook’s Gap the line passes di
rectly across the Oconee river, the sec
ond time, which is here but a small
stream, spanned by a small open drain;
then following up this stream to its
head, we reach the “ Air-Line Rail
road,” one and one-fourtir miles from
Poplar Sprring, at the most favorable
point for connecting with that road
that I could find for several miles,
making the entire length ef the line,
from the end of College Avenue, in
the town of Athens, to the “ Air-Line
Railroad,” thirty-eight and six-tenth
miles. The owners of the land at this
point will give us not only the right of
way, but sufficient ground for depot
purposes.
In making this location, it has been
my constant endeavor to get as good
an alignment as the nature of the
country would allow, so that when
completed, your road should be a first-
class road ; but at the same time to
adjust the line to the groupd as to
keep within the means of your Com
pany. Therefore, in the curvature of
the line, I limited myself to the use of
minimum radius of fourteen hundred
and thirty-three feet, and to a mini
mum length of tangent of three hun
dred feet, thereby giving a train, after
passing from one curve, time to
straighten up before strking another.
Iu coming south, the direction that
heavy freights will pass over your
road, the maximum grades used are
fifty-two and'eight-tenths feet per mile.
By referring to the estimate accom
panying this report you will find I
have made a liberal classification of
material, and that ample prices have
been allowed for each class—such, I
think, as will cover any contingency
that may arise. I estimate the cost as
follows:
persons

aud select six delegates to represent
the county in the convention. The
chair appointed as said committee—
Judge Orion Stroud, J. W. Arnold,
G. A. Nunnally, A. Tanner and J.
F. Shipp.
The committee reported the follow
ing:
Whereas the political prospects of
the State are such as to give us hope
that our political skies are brightening,
we congratulate the country and bid
those engaged in the good work—God
speed.
Respited l»t. That wo send as dele

Resolved 2d. That having confidence
in the fidelity of these delegates, we
recommend that they be sent untram-
elled by instructions; to ac us in their
judgement best for the interest of the
country. 1
On motion of Dr. Roberts, the re
port of the committee was adopted.
On motion of C. L. Bowie, the chair
man was instructed to appoint an ex
ecutive committee for the county of
Walton, and report the same to the
Secretary, and the Secretary report
the same to the Chairman of said ap
pointed committee.
The following are the committee :—

G. A. Nunnally and D. H. Walker,
Esq., made a few appropriate re
marks. On motion of Dr. Harde
man, the Southern Banner and At

OBITUARY.
Died in Caraesvillc, Gn. on the 12th
ulL. Abraham Adderuold, a^ed 83
years.
Mr. Adderhold was the father of Dr.
Henry D. Adderhold, of Carnesville, Ga,
and Dr. W. Vi. Adderhold, of Lexington,
Ga. Mr. Adderhold, left one other son
and two daughters surviving him. The
wife of Mr. Adderhold, who was a noble
Christian woman, died in the year 1863.
Father Adderhold was truly in every
sencc of the word, a good man, a pious
and exemplary Christian. He had h.-en
a consistent member of the Baptist
church lor sixty years, a larger portion
of the time one of its deacons. It wns
seldom during all that time his seat in
his church meetings was vacant. He
loved his church and brethren. In the
absence ol the pastor, he usually presid
ed as moderator, which duty he discharg
ed with ability. Father Adderhold
loved to talk about heaven and heavenly
things, and with the brethren of his
church, and with the young, upon re
ligious subjects. A few days boiore he
died, while his mind was wandering and
his strength gone, he called for his walk
ing cane and bis horse, saying “ I want
to go to church.” Our old father is gone.
Long will it be e’er those who knew him
will see so good a man, and so exemplary
a Christian. Let all who knew him try
to emulate Ins virtues. He has fought
the good fight, he lias kept the faith.

Certainly no people living in a coun
try surrounded as you are, by such a
broken, billy country, could expect to
grade a Railroad of the same length,
for less than this. And I think I may
be pardoned for saying, that I have
never seeu a line so distinctly marked
out by nature as this has been ; for
though I have traversed the country
along the “ Air-Line R. R.” for near
twenty miles, I have found no point at
which the summit of the Chattahoo
chee ridge can be reached from this
side without an immense expense, ex
cept through Cook’s Gap and out at
the head of Oconee river.
