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. ALE! AM 75 Bbla. and 100 Half bbls. MASSEY, COLLINS A CO.’S C'ELKBR ATRD 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. , A letter from Charleston says, the diffi culty between the freedmen and the piaulera on tbe islands along tbe South Carolina coait still continues A party of old proprietors, accompanied by two of Gen. Sickles' staff officers, recently went from Charleston to James Island for the purpose of having a conference with the uegroe* On approach ing tbe island ij) their boat'they were con fronted by about sixty armed negroes, who would listen to no explanations, even from the army officers, but threatened to fire on tbe first one of the party wbo stepped ashore. Two regiments of regular troops were after wards sent to the island to put tbe freedmen Under better subjection.r~| Macon Messenger. Gen.
