Com f’TROLt er Gsvbral's Office,
Milledgeville, Oct. 16, I860, j
//,, £rrellency James Johnson,
/’ruoisiotutl Governor of Georgia :
* 1B —Your communication requesting the
nihceriof the State House Department to “re
port to you the condition of their offices, on or
before the loth of October,” has been received —
As the law requires the Comptroller General to
make his Annual Report for the use of the Leg
islature, to the Governor, on the 15th of October
in each and every year, and as this report will
juruish you with all the information |asked for,
the same is hereby submitted, which is £S fol
lows :
"In compliance with the provisions of Acts of
1'ccetnher2Stb, 1818, December lltb, 1859, and
the Code, adopted in I860. I have the honor to
lay before your Excellency a statement of the re
ceipts and payments at the Treasury during the
fbcal jear 1865 ; a statement of the condition of
the Public Debt; a statement of the Debts or As
set, belonging to the State; a statement of the
K iucational Fund, its annnal income, <te.; and
other matters required of this office. In makiDg
this Report, I have first to state, that, upon bate
ancing the accounts between the Treasury and
tbi J office, there is a
“Cash balance" in the Treasury,
oi ; : : : $5,201,086 50
Hut with tbo exception of $14,750 United States
currency, and a few thousand dollars in State
Tteatury Dotes and State Change Bills, the bal
ance fas I am informed by the Treasurer,) is in
Confederate Treasury Notes, which may be con
sidered worthless.
Assets belonging to the State.
Herewith is furnished a statement ot the “As
sets belonging to the State,” as shown by the
hooks and papers of the Treasury and Comptrol,
icr (ieoerai’s offices, viz :
shares of stock in Bank of State
ot Georgia $183 300 00

both. 1S64, and due 1st June, 1865,
payable ‘in Confederate Treasury
ot the new issue,” for ~. 871,300 00
1,500 00
$1,863,700 00
Also, the Western A Atlantic Rail
road yca.'je not to he put upon hi/
■one by the Comptroller or
li-n nrer). This Road, however,
paid into the State Treasury, as
nett earnings, in 1850, $420,000;
1 -•••>, #450,000; 1861, $438,000; 1862,
#440.000, and in 1863, $1,650,000.
In relation to these* Assets, I consider them all
good tor what they call for, except the Bank
stocks. The stock in the Georgia Railroad and
Banking Company may be considered undoubt
edly good-but the value of the stocks in the
Bank ot the State of Georgia, and the Bank of
Augusta, cannot at this time be ascertained.—
The value placed upon the Assets of the Central
Bank were made by Gen. Bethune in 1859, upon
a specie valuation. As Gen. Bethune has been
absent from the State for several months pnst, no
report at this time could be obtained from him.—
It is true the stock in the Atlantic A Gulf Rail-
10a d would not now sell at par, but when the road
is finished to the Chattahoochee, it is destined to
be very profitable. It will then afford a ready
and comparatively cheap communication with
havancah ar d Brunswick, to the richest portions
ol Georgia and Florida, and a part of Alabama;
it is thought much of the travel from the North
to New Orleans, Ac., will take this road, and it is
hefiered it;wiU be one of the most profitable rail
roads in the Southern country. Although only
running to Tbomasville, it paid into the Treasury
last rear a dividend of $56,000.
The uotes of Messrs. H. Brigham and others
were given for 1,650 bales of cotton that belong
ed to iheState, and that were in Savannah when
thm nty was captured by Gen. Sherman. The
facts are substantially these: On the approach ot
Geo. Sherman towards Savannah, the agent of
'he Stale sold the cotton to Messrs. Brigham and
others, on -certain terms. Gov. Brown, on re
ceiving notice lrom the agent, refused to ratify
sale, but this was not communicated to the
jtgent until after the capture. I have been relia-
- reformed that the parties giving these notes
are witlmg to pay the same in Georgia Treasury
c,il es ot tue last issue—but in consequence of
*fiai is above stated, I have been advised by
four Excellency not to attempt to collect these
notes until some action has been taken by the
lonventioa or Legislature upon the same.
As the law does not authorize the Comptrol-
cr General or Treasurer to lace any atipn-
at , value “pon the Western & Atlantic Bail
’ll, oi courses I cannot do so. But that some
Mca may be formed of its value, I deem it pro-
i ‘ 10 stale that, in 1859, it paid as nett earn-
1*'“'“ tl10 State Treasury, 4420,000; in
8U ,’ 5100,000; in 1861, $438,000; in 1862,
in ?“ d in 1863 ‘ 1,650,000—and that
for n * w ^ en a D other property was returned
ixal >on at a lower valuation than it was
«J«din 185 9,l860orl861, a Committee
th„ , v • gis l ature > appointed to examine into
^, ) * l * air f of the road, &c., valued it at $7,-
. f 68. As the United States troops had
i,,^i°n of a part of the Road the first part
ties, and consenqnently, I cannot report any
“Statistics or Taxables, &c., in Georgia, for
1865.” Nevertheless, as the Legislature, in
enacting its tax laws, will need a ready refer
ence to the valuations put upon property, &c._
by the tax payers themselves for several years
back, I have concluded to furnish 'the follow,
ing table, showing the value placed npon pro
perty, for taxation, by the tax payers them
selves for the past six years, as taken from the
tax books on file in this office. As the Banks
and railroads paid their taxes directly to the
State 'Treasurer, of course the capital stocks.
&C., of these institutions are not included in
this table.
A Table Showing the returned value, on the Tax
Hooks, in the Comptroller General's office, of
all taxable property in the State, except Bank
add Railroad Stocks, for the years 1859,
1860, 1861, 1862, 1863 and 1864; also, slow
in'/ the amount oj property returned after ex
cluding slaves and the total amount returned
including slaves.

The average returned value per acre of land in
1859, was $4 83; I860, $4 85; 1S61, $4 80
1862, $4 68 ; 1863, $6 35; and in 1864 r in 10s!
out of 132 counties, the average value was $10 75.
The returns for 1S59, I860, 1861, and 1862, were
made npon the specie currency basis; and the re
thrns for 1363 and 1864 were required to be made
upon tho value in Confederate currency. The
why the item of “Merchandise” was so much in
creased in 1863 and 1864, was because Cotton,
DGt belonging to the original producer, was tax
ed as Merchandise in these years, and Tax Re
ceivers no doubt entered Cotton in the oolumn of
“Merchandise ”

In making these estimates I have assumed
that there will be no repudiation by the State
of the bonds issued in 1862, to pay the tax
levied npon the citizens of Georgia in 1861,
by the Confederate Government, which the
people would have been compelled to pay had
not the State sold these bonds, and paid the
tax. These bonds are the only bonds authori
zed to be issued since the Ordinance of Seces
sion, that have been issued. The annual inter
est on the same is $170,870. How much of
the back interest on bonds belongs to these
bonds I cannot stale, as the conpon book be
longs to, and is kept in, the Treasury Office.
As there can be no taxes collected this year,
and no other revenue will likely come into the
Treasury during the year, the State will have
to anticipate her taxes for next year, by a tem
porary loan for a part of the above, and issue
bonds for the other part—and if it should be
preferred by capitalists, a lien should be given
upon the Western & Atlantic ltalroad to se
cure the payment of the. principal and inter
est^ the bonds for the money thus obtained.
It is true this road has been damaged consid
erably, (although now in running order,) and
it will not pay any money into the Treasury
shortly, as its nett proceeds will, for a time,
be needed to bnild new /termanent bridges on
the road,- but from its location, and the evi
dences of the past, it is bound again, before
long, to yield a large revenue to the State.—
It is very valuable—and 1 doubt not that the
State could readily dispose of her bonds for
the money she now needs, or will shortly
need, npon advantageous terms, by pledging
the road for the payment of the principal and
interest of the bonds.
It is true that, by enactment of the Legisla
tures, there is already a lien upon the road for
about $2,000,000 bonds issued fur the buildiDg
and completing said road, (only $83,000 of which
is now due, and no more will be due in several
years,(yet the road is so very valuablo, this lien
eught not to affect the matter, where only $1,000,-
000 or $2,000,000 more is added to the same.
The law makes it the duty of the Comptroller
General to sngzest in his annual report such
amendments and improvements in the revenue
law* as bis experience and observation may ap
prove. But a convention of the people, to amend
the State Constitution, will assemble in this place
shortly, and some time before any Legislature will
assemble, and|a* I know not to what extent it may
alter the Oonsiitution ot the State ; -as we have
bain declared without a legal State organization
at present; and as for several months past, eon
tinual changes or aspects have been given to my
observation as to the condition of things, and as
we can better tell two or three months hence,
(about which time it is supposed the Legislature
will assemble,) what system of taxation will be
best for our State, I have concluded to omit any
tax system, or recommendation, at present, bnt
stand ready to cheerfully respond to any call from
the Legislature, or its Finance C-.mmittee, should
either of them desire to have my “exrerience and
observation” npon the sulject. The ‘‘Table’’
givn In the preceding part of this Report will
give, tho Legislature some idea of the material or
taxable wealth of the State at this time, after ex
cluding slaves. I am happy to say that, from
tho hieh rent paid for houses, and the sale of real
estate iu some qf the cities of Georgia, in my
opinion real estate in several, if not in many cities
and towns in the State, would now sell for as
much, if not more, than it was returned for taxa«
tion in 1859, 1860, 1861, or 1862. Land gener
ally would not, and may not shortly, sell for as
much as it was returned for taxation in these
years, although t’ie valuations are low; never
theless, from present indications, I see no reasons
why the other items of taxation in said “table”
should be less than in 1.360, unless it he the item
of^'Mooey and Solvent Debts.” But the results
ot; the war, re-organization, Ac., can be better
seen when the Legislature meets than at this
time, and I therefore prefer to submit mv views
at that time, if desired,
Without at this time suggesting any system of
taxation, or making any recommendation as to
taxation, I will close this subject bv merely say
ing the t, by reference to the “table” alluded to,
it will be seen that an advalorem tax of 50 cents
on the $100 valuation of 1860 (which was $369 -
627,722. after excluding slaves,) would yield a
tax ot $1,848,139 60, and that 25 cents on the
$100, would yie d $924,069 80. Surely- then, the
State of Georgia with her large Assets and ma
terial wealth, aod with her great mineral re
sources hardly yet touched in the way of develop
ment and which in the course of time must be
immensely valuable, ought not to fail at this time
to raise what money she may need upon advan
tageous and equitable terms.

Military Officers Take no Cognizance or
Civil Cases—Application wa< made yesterday
by a gentleman to Justice F. M. Brqpks to get
possession of his house occupied by some
negroes. As negroes wers concerned in the
mstter. Justice B. referred him to the Provost
v srah&I. The latter official returned a note to
the Justice stating thst the military authorities
would ootand could net take oognizaoce of civil
cases, no matter whether the parties be white or
black. Finding that be had full power over the
ease, and that the negroes had no right to the
bonse, the Sheriff was directed by Justice B. to
torn oat the darker occupants sod f<TC the
owner posccsmon.-auWiM Sun, \ith.
In the small settlement known as Blazing
Star, about five miles from Rahway, N. J., the
boiler of John A. Steinbauser’g establishment
for preparing phosphate of lime exploded abojit
five o’clock Tuesday afternoon with such ter
rible effect that the building, a frame 100 feet
square was entirely wrecked, and the tubular
boiler, 14 1-2 by 16 feet, hur ed to a distance of
400 yards from the place, and lOo feet high,
when it struck the earth throwing up the dirt
to a great be gbt, and then rebounded 85 feet
further.
A number of men were in the bnilding, and
three of them who stood near the boiler were
killed, two of them instaDtly, bnt the third lived
until the following morning.
The names of the killed were A. F. Beyse,
Superintendent, a resident of the vicinity: J.
Master, boilermaker of this city, and J. Broush,
fireman, of Williamsburgh. Beyse’s clothes
were torn completely from his body, and
Broush’s sknll was crushed to atoms, rendering
it probable that neither of the two unfortunate
men wag conscious of the least suffering.—
Master did not believe he was seriously hart,
and the following morning was walking about
when he combined of a difficulty of breath
ing. His red^ation grew shorter t and shor
ter for two or three hours, when he expired.
“The accident is ascribed to the defective steam-
guage which wag purchased in this city. Mr.
Beyse had no idea ot the quantity of steam in
the boiler (and be was an experienced engineer,
haviDg been in one of our gunboats, and on the
Otsego at the time of her destruction by a torpe
do) aod therefore anticipated no danger, suppos
ing the gauge would indicate the pleasure upon
the boiler.
AH of the killed were men of family, and thei r
remains were promptly cared for by Mr. Stein'
bauser, aod lots purchased for their interment in
Greenwood Cemetery. He hag also ganercyisly
offered to provide, we understand, for the widow
and children of the Superintendent.
A strange circumstances connected with the
casualty is that Beyse seemed to have a premoni
tion of bis fate. When be was in New York last
Monday with Steinhauser, he aaid he felt a
strong disposition to have bis life insured, and
returning home asked bis wife where she would
have him buried in the event of his being killed
saying he felt as if something were about to hap.
pen to him.
The boiler had 163 tubes, which were thrown
one hundred feet apart, and this fact, with the
tremendous force of the explosion indicates that
there must have been at least one hundred and
fifty pounds ot steam to the square inch.

Bill Heads.
W e would call the attention of our
Merchants and Business Men to our fine
stock of Bill Head Paper, ruled to suit
the various sizes of Bills and accounts.
We are now prepared with an entensive
assortment of modern faced Type, and
fine Inks, various colors, adapted to
printing Bill Heads, Cards, &c., in the
highest style of the art. BRING IN
YOUR ORDERS. “First come, first
served.”
In view of the great political changes
hat have been wrought throughout our
and during the last four years, the events
of the war having swept away the great
element of antagonism which formerly
existed between the two sections, we
have resolved to send forth our sheet
imder a new title. In adopting the new
name, which we trust will meet with the
approval of our readers, we are actuated
by a desire to obliterate all traces of
sectionalism, and our future aim will be
to publish a paper which can be read
with pleasure and profit at every fireside
in the savannahs of the South and the
icy regions of the North. Our intention
is to make the Savannah National Repub
lican a cosmopolitan newspaper. The
geuerous support so kindly extended to
us by all classes of our citizens, as well
as by our Northern and Western well
wishers, shall bejreciprocated by renewed
exertions on our part to render the Sa-
vannah National Republican a welcome
visitor to the family circle, the coanting
room and the workshop.
We have identified our interests with
those of Savannah, and while we may
politically differ and oppose some of our
best aud warmest personal friends, we
shall strive to keep our columns undefiled
from the Billingsgate slang that frequent'
ly marked the political discussions of the
press. Our patrons may rest assured
that we shall in the future as in the past,
continue to lend our aid to the advocacy
of all just aud humane enterprises, and
whatever influence we possess, shall Ed
ways be used in encouraging the true in
terests of Savannah, Georgia and the
great American sisterhood of States. We
devote the columns of the Savannah Na-
tioned Republicm. Pro Bono Publico.
Oi#r advertising friends North and our
exchanges will do us a great personal fa
vor by noticing the change of title, and
sendiug in future all communications to
“The Savannah National Republican.''

WASHINGTON CITY, 1st October, 1365.
This Work of which I have been EHitm- and Proprie
tor for over Twenty Years, wjiich has had a
very heavy subscription and advertising list in every
part of the Union, is now established on a secure and
Permanent basis.
My purpose in the future is to give it a National
Character, And to devote all my energies and re-
j sources to the development ofthe great material toter-
terests of the Union-its Commerce, Agriculture,
Manufactures, Internal Improvements, ” tlf i General
Industry.)
In addition to theee Important topics, the work will
embrace discussions upon such great questions of leg
islation as affect the relations of the State* the per
manency of the Union, and the honor and prosperity
of the Country.
In an especial manner will itjw devoted to the re
establishment ot Sauthern Prosperity, and
the bnilding np of its fields of industry and enterprise,
rendered necessary nnder the new and altered condi
tion of things.
The restoration of the South can be effected upon
the basis proseded by the President, and no gjeater
field could be openc d for the investment of capital now
invited thither from every quarter. Its abundant
fertile lands invite emigration, which It will be a
prominent ob)ect to secure.
Regarding the issues of the pastas dead, about which
a practical philosophy will not dispute, and those ef the
present as living and potential, It is the part of the
Rewiiw to accept in good faith the situation, and de
dace from <t all that can be promotive of the bee, in-
teresta of the whole Country.
Offices of the Review will be located at New
York, Washington City, Charleston, Nashville, and
