These results cannot, I think, fail to bo both
satisfactory and gratifying, especially when the
present condition oi the track nnd rolling stock
is compared with what it was at the close of the
war. And it may not be amiss to refer to that
condition. 1 quote from the report of the Board
of Directors, made in May, 1805. After referring
to the fact that the road had bcon worked at a
loss, they add:
“ For this loss, however,the stockholders were
already prepared by the report of the last year, in
which it was said: ‘ From the ruined condition of
the road and tile roil ng stock, occasioned by
hard usage in government service, and want of
material for repairs, both road and rolling slock
have become unsnte.' ”
The then Qcncral Superintendent,in his report
made to the same meeting oi stockholders, used
the following language:
“ Several depots will have to lie re built, and n
large amount ol timber procured ior track—nnd
material for repairs oi engines and cars will re
quire heavy expenditure the coming yenr, which
it may nut be practicable: lo meet by earnings
Irom the road ; though extraordinary rates may
he charged for transportation, as the amount of
bUsiuesH must be limited.”
These gloomy lorebodings were felt by most
persons at that time. Fortunately belter results,
limn were anticipated, have been realized. For
two years succeeding the wnr the road lias made,
ns shown by the reports, over and above all or
dinary expenses of management, $1,027,987 6(1,
to which may he added $85,088 90 paid on ac
count ol new work iu reconstruction, and charged
in report made 1st May, 1806, to expenses, making
in all $1,113,070 50, or about twenty-five (25) per
cent, upon the capital stock and bonded debt of
the company. But bb the company had at the
close of the war no available funds on hnnd, and
wished to avoid an increase of debt, a large
amount of these net earnings, say $852,401 97,
lias been used in paying for the extraordinary
work of renewing truck, re-building bridges, dc-
[tots, locomotives, cars, &c., nud leaving as net
profits over all payments $701,274 59, of wlilcli
amount $025,300 00 1ms beon used in redeeming
the notes ol the Georgia Railroad and Banking
Company, and tho balance lias been paid to the
stockholders in dividends, ot which six and one-
hall per cent, has been declared.
To sum up results, it will be seon that at the
close of the war the track and rolling stock was
so Imdly run down that they were considered un
safe, even with a schedule for passenger trains of
17 hours between Augusta and Atlanta. Out of
some 700 cars owned by the company at tl o
commencement ot the war, only about 70 were

NO. 119.
.UUIDQE8 AND DEPOTS.
All the bridges and depots for seventy miles
on tho oast end of your road, destroyed by the
march of General Sherman, have been re-placed,
A larger and more convenient freight house is
required at Atlanta, also or.o for housing loco
motives at that place, both of which we hope to
build during the next year.
PASSAGE.
The passage business has been fully maintain
ed, and would doubtless have increased consid
erably but for tlie scarcity of money and general
paralysis in business, growing out of tlie very
short crops of every kind raised last season in
the territory tributary to your road.
FBEionT.
Tho freight business has fallen off some, which
wps not unexpected. Tlie directors in making
last report, said: " Upon luture profits tho board
will indulge in no idle speculations, but do not
expect results from the current year equal to
those of last." In the same report the Superin
tendent wrote: “ and while tho freight business,
during the summer mouths is expected to tall off
greatly, wo are not without hope of favorable
results from tho work of tho year just enter
ed upon, hut much will depend upon the
of cotton grown, from tlie car-
quantity
Tying of which, so large a part of your
freight business has been derived heretofore."
The cotton raised in tlie country tributary to
yoyr road, proved to be only about one-fourth of
a crop, as compared with crops before the war.
Tlie addition to tlie net profits fVont this source,
if a good crop had beon raised, would have been
very large, as on “local" business we would
have been entitled to good remunerative rates,
and the quantity of return fVcights would have
beeu materially increased by such prosperity.
The competition ior tho through cotton passing
from Atlantn to Now York, line been very great.,by
Ro
Virgil
from tho great difference in distance aud grades,
that Hue can never compete, on anything like
equal terms, and it may be expected', that alter
fair trial tlie competition will be abandoned as
unprofitable, and then you may receive upon
lids business more reasonable rates. For the
Eastern through business, the competition by
tlie Virgiuia aud Tennessee route! and tlie route
via Savannah, have also been very strong, and
for a considerable portion of tlie year, Savannah
has had decidedly tlie advantage over,Charles
ton in shipping facilities, influenced mainly by
tlie early re-opening of the road from Augusta
to Savannah, by which tlie large accumulation
ot cotton nt the close of the war, found its way
to that city, and caused It to be favored, by those
interested in tlie shinning 1 hn«tn'“" “““c
n,„ .... ......ilicence and energy ot the execu
tive officers of tlie South Carolina Railroad, nnd
the enterprising merchants of Charleston, the
evil is being rapidly remedied, and Charleston
may soon assume her former proud position as a
commercial city.
For detailed’inlormalion as to the earnings
from both freight and passengers, I request to
refer! you to tho tabular statements hereto an
nexed.
LOCOMOTIVES.
The condition of our locomotives has been
greatly improved, as will be seen by detailed
tabular statement herewith—aud with present
facilities lor repairing and rebuilding, we have
no fears of keeping tills department ahead ot
tlie demauds of business.
CARS.
Tliis department, with its increased stock of
material and facilities ior repairing and building,
will, I doubt not, be alilo to meet promptly the
demands ol tho service, without purchasing any
Irom outside parties. At present, wo report, as
follows:
BoxCars 230
Passenger Cars 25
Baggage Cars 8
Platform Cars 116
Cab Cars 16
Coal Cars 8
Simmy Can .......MS
Stock Cara 27
Many of tlie cars reported on liafld, at the
making ot lust report, have been rebuilt, taking
their old numbers, and tlie aggregate number
considerably increased by new ones added to the
report of last year. In audition to those reported
above, we liavo ono huudred box cars in course
of construction in our shops, fifty ol which aro
already Iranicd and ready to put up. We find
from actual outlay, that we can build these enrs
at much less cost than they can be bought, hav
ing equal facilities with others for their construc
tion ; und give employment to many deserving
mechanics in this community.
Considerable sums will yet liave to be ex
pended out of the carningB, on the track, loco
motives, and cars, to bring them up to first class
condition, hut when that point is gained, the
road may be, we think, operated and kept in tlie
same good condition for tilty per cent, of Us
gross earnings, and proliablyjfor less, if Its groks
business should increase.
Too many contingencies present themselves
for us to undertake to make an estimate lor next
year's business, hut we hope for favorable results,
especially, if the country should be favored with
a reasonable crop ot cotton.
Tlie Officers, Agents, and Employees, with
but few exceptions, have shown a tommonuable
zeal in their efforts to advance the interest ol
your company. Respectfully submitted by your
obedient servuut, E. W. Coi.k,
General Superintendent.

requiring re-buildiug or oxtensivo repairs.
Out of over 50 locomotives owned by tlie
company, only about 12 could he trusted to run,
witli any degree of safety, und they requiring
general repairs. Bridges over the Oconee and
Yellow rivers to bo re-built, together witli all the
depots for seventy miles, destroyed with tlie truck,
by tlie march of General Sherman, just belnrc
the close of tlie war, and no material on hand in
any ol the departments to commence with. The
track for tlie 70 miles 1ms been nut in good order,
Hie relaying of it by tho Confederates was rather
a disadvantage iu its renewal, as the timber used
was so inferior, most of it had to he taken up
again, and suitable cross ties put in. Bridges
over tlie Oconee and Yellow rivers have been re
built, the former with a flue iron structure of
tlie “ Fink Suspension Patent,” and tlie lat
ter a first class “ Howe Truss;" und the nu
merous depots, for the 70 miles, huvo been
replaced. Locomotives and cars have been
repaired and re-built, ns rapidly as possible,
in our own shops, with increused facililkB
in tools purchased for that purpose, so that
without buying from abroad a Blngle loco
motive or car, (which, I think, is au exception,
there being no other road in the South, as I be
lieve, that has not bought more or less of both
since the close of tlie war,) wo have gone on in
creasing and improving your rolling stock, and
giving employment to many worthy mechanics
iu our midst; and liave been able ull tlie time to
perforin promptly and satisfactorily tbe service
required, and now liave no fears ot not having
enough to do all the business that may oiler, auu
that without buying a single locomotive or car.
Redeemed $025,300 00 of tlie notes of the Geor
gia Railroad und Banking Company, besides tlie
amount paid 111 dividends to the stockholders,
and all done out of the earnings of tlie road,
without charging “extraordinary rates for Irani-
Donation,” us our tariffs ou an average are be
lieved to lie as low or lower than other roads in
the Stale of Georgia.
TRACK.
Wo have laid down during the last year four
teen miles of new iron ou the main line, and
liave arranged for pulling down about the same
quantity of new Iron this summer and fall —
Ditching having been greatly neglected during
tlie war, the ditches were in a very bad condi
tion. VVe have bad large lorcea at work on
them during the past year, and they have been
greatly improved. We expect to contiuue this
work until the ditches are all cleaned ont, and
the road well draiued. Four aud a half miles
ot track liave beeu re-layed on Washington
brunch during the year, and the last hall mile of
“flat bar” ou this brancli is now be'ug taken
out. Considerable ditching 1ms also been done
ou this branch, and it is now In fair order.
We have just received and are putting down
re© miles of new iron on the Athens branch.
which is how in good order r except a litt’e rough
over the old iron yet iu the track. There lias
beeu used in renewing and repairing ot track on
main line and branches, from close of wpr to
31st March, 1867, two years, two hundrea und
eighty-three thousand niqu hundred cross ties,
and one million six hundred thousand five bun
dred feet of string limber.

.vehement in that Stale, last fall, to join the
Radical party, said :
"No, my brethren, I can’t Join that party, be
cause all tlie abolitionists iu the couutry arc in
it; and Abolitionism, my brethren, lias done a
wonderful sight of harm among our people. It
tins hurt many shepherds nnd scattered many
Hocks. It got into tho Methodist church unit
broke (lint up. It got in among the Presbyterians
and split them in two,- and it got into the Gov
ernment and broke tlie old Union to pieces.—
And, my brethren, I Uon’i know of auythlug it
is good for but to break dowu and break up.—
And if you have any enmity against tlie old boy,
I advise you to send Abolitionism into liis domi
nions, and it will break hell up itself in Una than
six weeks."
The London Daily News lias a correspond
ent in Crete, who writes from a runanlic spot
ou tlie slope of Mount Ida. His surroundings
arc, however, the reverse of romantic. The
whole mounluin, he writes, is covered with the
dead bodies of women aud children who there
souglit refuge from the ravages, of civil war,
only to perish from exposure and starvation.—
He goes on to say that it would be bard to exag
gerate the 'cruellies of tlie TurkB. They were
guilty of nets which it would' be an outrage
upon decency to mention. Ab the Great Powers
decline to interfere for tlie protection of the
Christian population, they have only to look
forward lo a continued struggle, marked by the
worst atrocities of barbarian warfare.
Ladies’ Dukbses — One'of our cotemporaries
who lias somewhat of a passion lor interfering
witli ladies’ dresses, says:
We think that tlie most sensible dresses ladies
have ever woru within our recollection are the
small hooped, short skirts, which are now in
vogue witli those who keep pace witb-the fash
ions. They avoid tlie dirt, filth and dust ot the
streets, shun dangling clothing in every sort of
trash, and liave a pretty, stylish and jaunty ap
pearance. They also afford the hands some bet
ter occupation than holding up dresses, and ren
der locomotion decidedly more pleasant aud
gracefui. A man can now get a seat occasion
ally. ^
The Timidity of Capital.—The Charleston
correspondent of a Northern paper, remarking
upon the slowness with which Northern capital
enters the South, and of tho One field iu South
Carolina for speculation, says he knows planters
who are unable to raise funds to start their places
who would be willing to sell at any price. Choice
rice plantations briug the nominal price of a few
thousand dollars—in many cases a few hundred
while cotton plantations can be bought at the
price that a speculator may offer.
A good sort of a man in Maine was recently
asked to subscribe for a chandelier for the chnrcb.
“ Now,” said he, “ wbat's the use of a chande
lier f Alter you get it you can't get any one to
play on R.”

Don’t Wash Another Week Without Buying
—THE—
GREATEST WONDER OFTHE AGE 1
HALL’S tJNn’MISAL
WASHING MACHINE!!
SPECIAL NOTICE TO THBXADIE8.
I T has long been felt and acknowledged that a Washing
Machine would yet bo invented that would bo slm*
plo, cheap, and more effective than any of the Machines
heretofore offered to the public. Such a Machine is now
offered without fear of competition.
1st. Ono woman will do more with a Machine than
do without It. It wlil wash five dirty shirts
(Including wristbands and collars) perfectly clean in from
four to eight minutes—this wo guarantee, or no sale.
2d. It requires uo skill to operato It, «s a girl 13 yearf
old has washed (in Atlanta) FOUR DOZEN PIECES IN
ONE HOUR1
8d. It takes at least one-third less soap, and will pay
for Itself every year In tho saving of clothing, as it acts
so delicately on tho fabrics that bauk bills can be washed
without breaking—something no other machine can do.
We manufacture these Machines in this place, and shall
sell them at
TEN DOLLARS,
tho Bamc prico they are sold for In Now York. Thore Is
no Washing Machine on the market that cau be bought
for even twice tbe money, and no Machlsc that will com
pete with it in the performance of its war .
These Machines are on exhibition In this city, at the
store of JOHNSON A ECHOLS, Whitehall street.
MaBRNTLY owns tho Patent Right for this remarkahlo
Machlno In all theSouthoru States. Liberal inducements
will bo offered to gentlemen desiring the exclusive right
to sell these Machines in counties und districts, or States.

durability of the Machine, tho ease aud quickness or mo
tion, the small amount or soap required, and the protec-
tton of the clothes, would recommend it 'to a generous
public; * “

DIRECTIONS FOR USE.
Let tho Machlno down Into a common wash tub, by
cutting notches into the sides, for the Journals to rout In,
untllUcomes within one Inch of the bottom of the tub;
nil with hot wator until tho water covers the pebbles in
tbe machine two inches; wet tho clothes In warm water,
(it is better to soak clothes over night,) then run a little
solt soap on all the dirty places; then put ttie clothes
Into tho machlno with the pebbles, and always All tho ma
chine half full of clothos, shaking them out us they are
