Oclobcr 22d, i8t5. $ Hit Exirlh a ry George W. Cbaavford: Sir :—1 Uuve tlio honor to submit the following Report of my trnnmirtinii* ns Chief Engineer of the Western mill Atlantic It nil Komi, since the rinte of my Inst report, mill nil ncciiiint of expenditures up to the 30th September Inst. In tlint report, it Avas stilted Unit there AVere iwenty-ninc miles of the truck hiiil in 1842, in which no clinuge of plan Ik j aviim intended. The method to he pursued in repairing this distnne.e, was the first matter requiring attention. Upon a thorough cxmiiinntion of the truck, for Unit object, it Avns clearly ascertained, that untiling short of mi entire renewal would rcrniiiplish the desired end On the li5th of De cember, contracts were inndo for timber, nud, within ii few i ''," 1 ",' '"a-""" "' . -iii 1 checks, nlmvo mentioned g the new truck. 1 his step aviis iimivoulnhle, , , p , ,, . ..... .i i .i ii 1 i .i . Then, the line union us the old limber wns thoroughly rotten, mid the necessity for this expenditure had u serious lieu ling on the elforts to extend the Knud to the fm-lhest pnssjhle point. Iii May, contracts were made Incomplete the trnck for 20 miles beyond Coosa Depot. The whole superstructure on this Kond, tins been let at nn unprecedented low price.— The entire cost of timber mid Avorknninsliip, Inis been from 8850 to 81050 per mile; uml tlfht lit I he highest price, wns combined tvilli it large quantity nt ii very low price. Itis believed that no work in the United Status bus been let Inw- ei ihmi the highest of these rates. The work Inis been pres sed with great vigor, and at the e.lnse of the year, the Statu will possess 80 miles of Kail Itoud in successful operation. There linvc been some circumstances attending the exe cution nf the order fur l, w 40 Ions of Iron given to Alc-srs. John Ernsier «t Co. of Charleston, on the 8th Wnv, 1844, which it is deemed proper to make public. This order wns given to them in consequence of an intimation given through n third parly, that they could, through their l.iveipool friends, procure the Iron nt the lowest cash prices, mid give thcStnte of Georgia a credit of 12 months. After much correspondence with these gentlemen, during which the above conditions were repentedly mentioned, the order was finally given nt a personal interview. It was sent to Messrs. Ek'ldea, Riot hers & Co., of Liverpool. In the letter of Messrs. Julia Frasier & Co., conveying the order, are these words : “ Yon will now please find enclosed the spe -ifien- Iions and drawings in conformity wiili which you will now make n contract immediately for eighteen handled and forty tons of Kails at the loirttt possible cash prices." The letter further urged them to procure n credit if possible, adding— “ If 12 months cannot begot, get as longn lime ns yon can ku'. the order was to purchase tile roils positively, mid se cure the credit if practicable. The only imperative condi tion of the order was to purchase the rails at the luicestpos sible cash prices. ITkilur I tits oritar, Mr. Join* Piv.Ucrsgill, of London, one Ilf the firm of Fielden, Brothers & Co., made a contract for the rails with Messrs. Thompson and Forinnr, in Loudon, on or about the 1st day of Jane, agreeing to give them about £2 per ton above the market price at that date. The price agreed oil between them was £S ISs, and letters from se veral of the most respectable American Houses, show this to have been about £2 per ton ubuve the market price at that time. These facts were not known here until the first cargo ar rived. They were then reported to your Excellency, when every menus were adopted to obtain justice. As soon as the complaint was made, Messrs. Thompson and Forman agreed to deduct XoOOfioin their hill, ami Messrs. Fielden, lirothers & Co. agreed lo deduct their commission ; show ing that bolli were perfecily aw are of the injustice done to the State ; hut they could not consent to disgoige the. whole of the 8i8,000 overcharged. Unfortunately, Iron had risen enormously in the mean time, mid ihe agent of the State was forced to submit to the imposition. Messrs. John Fiasier it Co., w ere al once satisfied of the fact, ihut uu imposition laid been practiced, and made every eifort to induce their l.ivei pool friends lo niljiisi it properly, amt on failing to obtain rediess, they ngieedto charge no commission. The only blame that can he ntiached to these gentlemen is, for not titmice assuming the responsibility of giving up the rails tu the State of Georgia at the iiiurkcl price in Knglund, at the date of puichnse, and leaving ilu ir English correspondents to establish their exorbitant de- tnnml ns they could. The ship YVnkoun encountered a heavy storm in her pas sage, and the iron became much corroded by the effects of salt water. This gave rise to a claim for duimigcs amount ing to 87,-MO, which the Insurance office Inis refused to pay ; though, it is believed, they cannot maintain the ground they luivc taken on the subject, and ibis amount will yet be recovered. There have been nbont §51,000 paid ns duty on Raiijlond Iron, nil expenditure, from which it was a I wny.>| believed that the State would lie relieved by the justice of Cbdgreus. A lull actually passed the Senate within the lti<t three dins of the session, mid, it was believed, would have passed the House of Representatives, if it had readied there. !No doubt was ever felt that ibis duty would tic remitted. In that confident expectation, il was deemed entirely safe to project work which should consume the whole appropriation, after setting apart the amount of theic duties which it was supposed would remain a surplus on hand. The woik which will he perfected at the close of this year, had to he determined on eighteen months ago, mid certain parts let, — nml the object in view was to bring the greatest possible ex tent ol'Ruud into active and profitable use. The failure of wTnlu | Congress to puss n hill for refunding this duty, deprived the work of this reserved fund to coverany expected contingency. When I he work had progressed so far, that no part could ho suspended wit Ik at injury to the whole, it first became known that the Iron had cost much itioie tlinn the estimate, in consequence of the most extraordinary conduct of our English Agents. This, together with the redemption of a considerable quantity of scrip over what was sli >ivn by the Kooks of the office to be iu circulation, has occasioned the liabilities of the State under existing contracts In exceed by about §14,000 ilie bonds ivliii-li have been issued. Hat ii is respectfully submitted that the $270,000 of bonds is tied, do not cover llie appropriation made in the Act of 1845. Your extra .Message of November 22d, 1843, is the only document from which the amount of the appropriation can be ascer- 'itiued. la that Message, the amount of hoods authorised by existing appropriations, mid nut heretofore issued, is stil ted nt 8270,975 54. Of the amounts deducted from exist ing appropriations to show this result, there were of Stale hnmls $1,000 returned as defective, mid cancelled under year direction. There were also live deinmids oil the Trea sury amounting to $500 $6, which were piesumcd nt the time to lie paid, and were charged to the appropriations, as paiil; Iml they were afterwards nsccitnined to he unpaid — Ami Instly, there were $G 482 of six per cent, scrip men tioned ns outstanding, anil charged ns an appropriation to tlu; Rail Ruud. These sums ndded, will inulte $278,901 20, ns the true amount of the uppiopriatioa. Allow me to eall your atteatii.ii ton sentence in the Mes sage referred to. You say, “ The aggregate expenditure on this Kond, up to the commencement of the present year, amounts to the sum of $2,010,008 28.” Can the snip in question he called nn expenditure, if it must he called ill and no equivalent from the Treasury issued to replace it ?

This cannot ho wondered nt when the causes leading to such u result are remembered. At the period of the last report, there were $27,000 of bonds hypothecated with the Rank of llmiiburg bu money to carry on the work. All I lie cash expended Ims been ob tained iu the same manner, nml the accompanying sinte- meat, marked (A.) will exhibit the amount of each Inun, die mime of the Bunk or individual holding the loan, the tale of interest, and the amount of Immls hypothecated. It will lie perceived that all the loans are made on mi equal amount of bonds, except those from the Rank ol Charleston, mid the Hank of Hamburg. In these two, is u surplus deposit of bonds amounting lo $55,747 00. This sum is considered pledged to lire Georgia Kail Road Bunk for loans mid sums duo for traiisporintion of Iron. The plan of transpoitatinii recommended in my last mi nimi report, has keen carried out. The State has her own locomotives, and passenger’s ears, and the Georgia Rail Kond Coni|in»v furnish the freight cars. For the use ol these cars, thut Company is lo receive one eighth of the ft eight. This artmigeinent will, of course, lie extended to the Monroe Rail Kond, when they form a junction. It is confidently believed that no oilier plan can succeed. This saves to the Stale all the expense and lisk of transhipment, at the junction of ihe Komis, nml saves the owner of the ar ticles conveyed iimoh delay mid some damage. Any other plan would throw the first 20 miles of the Slate work al most out nf use, and would operate as a caiisiilcrnble draw back on the entire business of tlm Kond. To abandon the plan would render necessary an immedi ate expenditure of $30,000 to procure a supply ol Ircighl cars. The State might lie forced to this measure hv an at tempt nl extortion on the part of the companies owning the cats; lint in no oilier event can it lie advised. It is respectfully submitted, whether there may not he some legislation necessary to protect the piopcriy of the State on the Western anil Atlantic Knit Komi, nndtnpre- vent malicious persons from placing obstructions on the Kond. The object kept steadily in view during ihe Inst two years, Ims been to pill, in operation the greatest possible Icmttli of Kond; ns the large sums of money ultcudy expended are thus brought into active use. The mnouiii of wink ilms ac complished will he, hy l lie close of I lie jour, 80 miles of Komi. This reaches lo a point near a head in the Ousta- ii ;i ii Iv River, five miles South of the crossing of said Rivet. Ii was ai Hi Ml believed that (lie itppi oj.riut iim would extend across I he Rivet, as this was ctinsidcicd a highly desirable point; hot this wns found to lie impossible. It is ccitniiily very desirable in every point of view, to ex tend the road at once to Cross Plains, w hich can lie done at a very trifling cost, compared with the sum already expend ed, on this 20 miles. Ail appiopriatioa of $ 100.000 would complete the road to this point with nplutcruil; nr $140,’ 00 would supply a track of the most perumiient character. This would overcome the obstructions presented Iiv our River, nml 20 miles of remarkably bail road, and reach a point of great importance ; bring ihe jiiiii'lion of the Hightower road with Uu; great 8tutc Tiutik. Of the expediency ol com pleting the entire State Kond, there can lie very lillle doalii ; lint the point here mentioned lias superior claims to atten tion, both from its importance and ihe facility with which it may he reached. The entiredistance is graded, and there is a -ingle bridge wanting, which limy now lie Imilt m ii very H iffmg cost. The receipts on a Itwil Kond increase ivith its length, in a much greater ratio than the expenses—and this would hestrungly exhibited in the case of this 20 miles, undci the peculiar circumstances. That the Western nml Atlantic Kail Kond will yield a handsome revenue to the Stale—even larger than its warm est friends have heretofore calculated, is now evident. Twen ty miles of the work went into operation on iLo 15th of Sep tember, ami the receipts of the fiist month have been up- wards of $1100 00. It ivns not generally know n that ilie Kond was opened—because apprehension.-, of n ili.-iippoim- inent pi evented ihe necessary steps for making it known, from being taken. The Hinmiut of guilds wagoned 11, rough Murieltn dining the month was fully equal to tIml transport ed on the Kond. Moreover, it is conceded that hmily miles of rail road cannot make muiicv, except under ilic must I'.i- voruhle circumstances. This is therefore to be taken only ns an indication of ivlial may be expected, when a respecta ble portion of tlie road is ill use, uml the fact is generally known. The Warehouse in Marietta has been crowded with packages of mcicliaudise for Huntsville, Decatur, and oilier points iii Alabama, and lor Knoxville, Athens, uml other places in Tennessee. At the end of this year a traveller leaving Washington City for Nashville, may reach there liy this road in tivodays less limit than by nay other route—and the mail between those points must necessarily come this wny. Every mile that is added to the Kond will attruct the travel and trade ol astill larger extent of country. An accident on the Komi, in which I had the misfortune to have a thigh broken, prevents me front extending this repott to the limits which I had as-igned. Accompanying this Re port you will find ua nccuuni current, and a table of the cost of the Road. All of which is respectfully siikmilttcd. (Signed,) CilA’S. F. M. GARNETT, Chief Engineer. 1844 I)R.
