.Savannah, Ga., Wednesday, Jan. 3, 1966.
The annual meeting of the stockholders in
the Blanceville Slate Milting Company, took
place to-day in the offlee of the Home Insur
ance Company at the hour of f* o'clock, M-
The Company wa9 represented by five
thousand three hundred and fifty-nine (i
859) shares.
The following gentlemen were elected Di
rectors for the present year: E. C. Grannies,
H Brigham, A. \V ilbur, A. E. Marshall and
J. F. Dever.
The following are tlie reports of the offi
cers of the Company :
BKKORT OK THE PRESIDENT.
Macon, Ga.,’ Dec. 29, 1865.
To the stockholders of the Blanceville 81 ate
Mining Company:
I report that the condition of the Cential
R«hmad, together whit the p’nesMfrehibus
iness, prevents me from attending the annual
mealing of our Company.
The Company, or at Least those who own
a majority ol' the stock, when Savannah fell
within Hie Federal lines, thought best
lo -endeavor to carry on operations on
the quarry. At their solicitation I called a
meeting at which officers were elected for the
past year. Money was obtained for a wagon
and mules and for other things, necessary to
the working of the quarry; but very shortly
after, tbe arms of tbe United States triumphed,
and our efforts to begin operations proved
unavailing. The unsettled state o[^ the coun
try after war had ceased, the difficulty of ob
Wining money, and tbe uncertain nature of
the charter before It bad been ratified by the
Btate Convention, prevented the reaumplion
of the work until very near the close of the
year, when I deemed it best to await the ac
tion of your body at its meeting iu Savau-j
nab. AH those difficulties being entirely,
or iu a great measure removed, nothing oc
curs to me to preveut the full development
of our property with the fairest prospects of
success.
• For a full account of the injury done the
pioperty by the ravages of war, together
witli other information v liich will prove in
teresting to the Company, I refer to the
lull report of the Secretary, who has spent
some time at tbe quarry, aud who has given
the subject that attention wbicb its import
ance merits.
Wishing the Compauy a harmonious meet
ing, and deeply regretting my own absence,
I subscribe myself
Very truly,
E. C. Granniss, Pres't.
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY.
Macon, Ga., Dec. 29, 1865.
E C- Gran.siss, President of the Blanceville
Slate Mining Company.
In obedience to your orders 1 visited, in
the summer, the quarry, the property of the
Company, and spent the requisite lime in
making satisfactory observations. Every
bouse on the land belonging to the Company
has beeu swept away by the devouring fire
of war. In this are included the mill and
the dwelling formerly occupied by Colonel
Dever. Of course this is all tbe damage the
property has received. There are at present
about 25 or SO squares of roofing slate got
out, worth from $800 to $400.
As this report is to go before the Company
at their annual meeting iu Savaunah, I deem
it proper to be more explicit io regard lo the
properly In Wbicb we are interested. The
necessity for slate for roofing purposes is now
greater than ever. Tne quarry' will very
shortly be environed by three distinct rail
roads. The Western and Atlantic now runs
within 18 miles of it; the Rome und Helms
road, now in proce-s of construction,' runs
about tbe same distance from ihe quarry;
aud the Gnffin and North Alabama, ac
cording to the best information derived from
a careful inspection of the map will run
equally as near. Were there no better way
in prospect ot having our slate taken away
by rail, it would, become a matter of impor
tance to our Company to make sorWe pro
position to one or another ot those roads to
provide for the building of a branch from
their main track to tbe quarry. But I am
happy to inform you, and, through yon, the
Company, that there is a bright prospect
of the completion at an early day of a rail
road from Marietta, on the Western and At
lantic Railroad, to Jacksonville, Ala., which
will run within a few hundred yards of the
quarry- This road was begun before tbe war,
but was suspended after the war commenced.
As soon as I learned that tbe stockholders in
this ro*d were u> have a meeting in
Marietta for the purpose of selling out
the charter and the road as laid out
off and pnogessed with, 1 determined
to attend the meeting. 1 was pleased to
find the company had received fair proposals
for their properly, and, as they considered,
reliable guaranties that tbe work on tbe road
' would be speedily commenced by the North
ern Compauy lo whom they sold out.
During tbe war an attempt was made to
supply the large and profitable demand for
school slates and slate pencils. 1 met with
only a partial success fn the undertaking,
both on account of tbe proximity of the
United States forces under Sherman," and the
impossibility of finding any one who had the
skill to dress slates, or who could saw slate
pencils. Just before tbe war closed I had
engagegentleman of great skill in (us-
chtnery to undertake to dreas and frame from
10,000 to 20,000 school slates, anil to saw any
number of slate pencils that might be requir
ed. Had tbe war not closed so soon, 1-have
no doubt but tbat be would have succeeded.
I have before submitted to you a letter ac-
coinpsnyiug this report irotu a gentleman
skilled in manufacturing furniture, etc. out
of slate, offering to come into tbe employ of
the compauy. Should the Company or the
Board of Directors to be elected--' engage bis
services, (which I recommend,) he will take
charge of a branch of work totally distinct
from tbe quarrying of roofing slates, from
which I anticipate great profit to the compa
ny. It is to be hoped that lie also.under
stands the preparation of school slates mod
slate pencils, which may be expected to be
the source of considerable income. . Whilst
the main business of tbe company is to get
out roofing slates, these other mutters are not
to be despised.
The demand tor roofing slates, as before
slated is very great. AU the depots an tbe
Western and Atlantic railroad bave been de
stroyed, some of those ou the Georgia and
Atlanta and West Point roads have stinted
the same fate. Such buildings would almost
invariably be covered with.alate in prefer
ence to tin or shingle, if slate could be ob
tained. Two of the principal factories in the
Northern pait of the State, together with ooe
in Albany. Ga., soon to be built, will be cov-
ered witb slate if it can be obtained. Many
buildings in Atlanta and Selma and other
places would also be covered with slate if it
was at hand. But builders cannot wait when
the budding comes to covered. It is our
duty, therefore, to establish depots of slate
at Atlanta, Macon, Augusta, Mobile arid
Other places, besides being ready to AIL or
ders, come from wh&t quarterthey may.
It becomes my duty, as it is also my plea
sure, to inform yon that there are stroBg in
dications of another source of wealth and
profit for rue company to be found ou oar
property: I refer to the strong peti oleum
indications on tbe land owned by the com
pany^ Whilst at the jpany I took special
pains to exaiqine.lhese indications. Oil may
be seen at aay titikf fiostinftqfi th# SUtfaee of
foe CteekNdflaliUlbs by Biqmtfy- (About
two hundred yards from the quarry are two
remarkable springs, which at ail times
•““f 1 , U P numerous bubbles of gas, some of
which I collected, and 1 thick would, have
succeeded in burning had I bee* better pre
pared for tbe experiment. These indications
were not to be unobserved by the shrewd eye
of Northern and Western adventurers. Two
distinct propositions were made for a
lease on the land; but they were prompt
ly declined. It will be for the con 3
pany, at some future, day, to determin
whether and how an experimental bor
ing .shall be undertaken; for that it will be
done on oar own land, or on the land
adjoining, and tbat at no distant day i
have not a shadow of doobt. Should the
experiment be made on Colonel Dever** land,
which adjoins oars, and the experiment is a
success, then we will not be long ourselves
in boring; bnteven should success not attend
the .former effort, as there are.-stmager prob
abilities of oil on our own land, we would
not be authorized in declining tbe effort our
selves. -It may be tbe Company will deter
mine to bore with tbe profits arising from the
slate, or may raise a separate boring.fund j>y
tbe issue of stock for the purpose, or may
leate the oiling .privilege when a royalty of
one halt, or thereabouts, ot the oil may be
obtained for tbe Company-
The books and titles of tbe Company bave
been preserved by me during the mutations
of war. I bad a record of the titles taken
in the books of the Clerk of the Court of
Fuium coun'y, as well as in those of the
Clerk of Polk county, and tbe original defed
to tbe Company is now in your safe.
For tbe information of tbe Company I will
state definitely in what consists our property.
The land the Company owns is over tour
hundred acres, at least ninety of which con
tain slate- A geologist of eminence, from the
State of Connecticut; after Careful examina
tion of tbe quarry, in a printed report, pro
nounced it tbe most valuable elate quarry
then kuown in tbe United States. That the
•late is perfectly inexhaustible and of tbe
very b»at quality is clear. But three opeu-
ings on tbe quarry bave beeu made, wheu a
hundred might be. In addition, the Com
pany possess on the quarry a first class water
power, wbicb will lurnish tbe means for any
operations they may desire to carry fur ward.
It is only for tbe Company to determine in
wbaj way they will develop their property.
Very respectfully,
A. E. Marshall, Secretary.
At a meeting of the Board of Directors of
tbe Blanceville Slate Mining Company, held
on tbe 4ib of January, Aaron Wilbur was
elected President, E. C- Grauuiss, Vice Pre
sident, and A. E. Marshall, Secretary.

The Income Tax—It is said tbat a re
spectable minority, if not a majority ot tbe
members of the Finance and Ways and Means
Committees ot Congress are in favor of the
repeal of the income section of the Tax Law,
and, in lieu thereof, the imposition of a lax
on sales, which, at one per cent., will pro
duce a revenue of one hundred and twenty
millions of dollars; out of receipts for rents,
dividends upon stocks, aud justly taxable
emoluments, a similar rate of one per cent.;
with a specific tax upon spirituous, malt and
vinous liquors, and upon tobacco in its va
rious forms, a further additional sum may be
realized, equal to the highest figure at which
the present system of taxation is put by its
advocates. The Secretary of the Treasury,
aud at least one ot ths commissioners ap
pointed to revise the revenue laws, are said
to be iu favor of the ayatem.
Cause of Sudden Death.—Very few of
the sudden deaths which are said to arise
from disease of the heart do really arise
from tbat cause. To ascertain the real origin
of sudden death, an experiment baa been
tried iu Europe, aud reported to a scientific
Congress held at Strasbourg. Sixty-six cases
of sudden death were made tbe subject of a
thorough post mortem examination. In these
coses only two were foubd who had died
trout disease of the heart. Nine out of sixty-
ty-six bad died from apoplexy, while there
were forty-six cases of congestion of the
lUDgs—that is, tbe lungs were so foil of blood
they could not work, there not being room
enough for a sufficient quantity of air to en
ter to support life. The causes that produce
congestion of the lungs are—cold feet, tight
clothing, costive bowels, sitting still until
chilled after being warmed with labor or a
rapid walk, going too suddenly from a close,
beuted room into the cold air, especially altei
speaking, and sudden depressing news oper
ating on the blood. These causes of sudden
death being known, an avoidancejri them
may serve to lengthen many valuable lives'
which wonld be otherwise lost under the ver
dict cf heart complaint. That disease is sup
posed to he inevitable and incurable; hence
many mev not take the pains -they would'to
avoid sudden death if they knew it lay in
their power. ,
