ItEPOUT OK 'l’llK COIIIPTHOLLKH GENERAL. We are indebted to Col. Peterson Thweatt, the efficient Comptroller Gene ral for tho State of Georgia, for a pamph let copy of his annual report, forthofisoal year ending Oct. 15th, 1805. This report shows a cash balance in the Treasury of $5,201,086 18. But with the exception of $44,750 United States cur rency, and a few thousand dollars in State Treasury notes and State change bills, tho balance is in Confederate Treas ury notes, which are worthless. The following are the assets belonging to the State: 1,833 shares of stcok iu Bank of State of Georgia $lB3 300 100 shares in Bauk of Au gusta 89,000 lad abates of stuck in the Georgia Railroad and Bauktng Company 18 600 7,000 shares of,siook iu the Atlantic and Gulf Rail road Company 700,000 Central B<nk Assets, esti mated by Geneial lie tbune, Agent, at 1,500 Notes on Messre. M Brig barn, D. H. Baldwin, An drew Low, A Wilber and Warron Mttcheii, made Nov. 30th, 1864, and due Ist of Juno, 1865, payable “ in Cooicdurete Treasu ry Notes, or State of Uecigia Treasury Notes, ol tbe new issue, ” f0r.... 871 80 I $1,863,700 00 Also, tbe Western & Atlautiu Railroad (value not to -be put upon the same by the Comptroller or Treasurer) This Road, however, paid into the Si ate Treasury, us not earnings, iu 1869. $420,000; 18t)0, $450,000; in 1861, $438,000; in 1862, $410,000, aud in 1863, $1,650,000, Col Thweatt considers these assets all good for their nominal value, except tbe Bank stocks. It is true, he says, the sLok in the At lantic & Gulf Rail Road would not now sell at par, but wbeu the Road is finished to the Cbaitabooctiee, it is destined to be very profitable. It will then afford a ready aud comparatively cheap commu nication, with ftavanuah and Brunswick, to (he richest portions of Georgia aau Florida, and a part of Alabama; it is thougui much of tbe travel trom the Notln to New Orleans, &0., will take this Road, aud it is believed it will be one ot the most profitable Rail Roads in tbe Boutheru country. Although only run ning to Tboiuasville, it paid into tbe Treasury last year a uivideuil of $56,000. Tne notes of Mc.-o.ta H Brigham and others, were given for 1650 bates of cot ton that belonged lu the Biate, and that Were in Bavaooab when that city was captured by Gen. Hheruian. Tbe facts arejsubstantlally mtae : <>n tbe approach ot cell. Ciht.imau towards Bavauuab, the agent oi the B>.aie sold the cotton to Aleasrs. Brigoatu aud oihets, on certain terms. Uov. Brown, on ri-cemug notice front tho agent, refused to ratify tbe Bale, but ibis was not communicated to the agent uulti alter the capture. 1 have been reliably luiorinod that the parties giving these notes are willing to pay the same in Georgia Treasury uotes of the lust issue—but in consequence of what ta above slated, 1 have been advised by your Excellency not to attempt to collect these notes until some action has been taken by tho Convention or Legislature upon the same. As mo law does not authoiize the Comp troller General or Treasurer to place any stipulated value upon the Western tit At laniio Rail Hoad, of Course i cannot do so. But that some idea may be formed ot lU> value, 1 deem U proper to state, that, in 1859, it paid us noli earnings into the State Treasury, $420,069 ; to 1860, $450- 000; in 1861, $428,000; in 1862, $440,- 000; and iu 1863, $1,650,000 and that in 1862, when alt olner property was re turned for taxation at a tower valuation Uian it was returned to 1859, iB6O or 1861, a Committee of the Legislature, appointed to examine into the affairs of ute Rond, tSus, valued it at $7,849,224 68. As the U until Stales troops had posses sion of a pan ot the Road the first part ol tfie year 1864, and finally took full pos sesuicu ot it, in September, only $235 000 was paid into the Treasury fur 1864 1 that at tbe fall of Atlan ta, iu September 1864, the Confederate States Government owed the Road near $1,000,000, which was never paid.

These Bonds are tho only Bonds authorized to be issued Niuoe tho Or dinanoe < f Heoession, that have been issued. The annual interest on the saute is $170,- 870. As there oan be no taxes collected this year, and no other revenue will likely come into the Treasury during the year, the Mtate will have to antic ipate her taxes for next year, by a temporary loan for a part of the abovo, and issue Bonds for the other part—-and if it should be preferred by Capitalists, a lieu should be given upon the Western amt .Atlantic Railroad, to seoure the pay meut of tho principal and interest of the Bonds for the money thus obtained. It is true this Road has been damaged con siderably, (although now in running or der,) aud it will not pay auy money into the Treasury shortly, as its nett proceeds will, for a time, bo needed to build new permanent Bridges on the Road, but from its location, and the evidences of the past, it is bound again, before tong, to yield a large revenue to tho Blute. It is very val uable—and 1 doubt not that the Elate could readily dispose of her Bonds, for the money she now needs, or will shortly need, upon advantageous terms, by pledg ing the Road for the payment of the prin cipal aud interest of the Bonds. It is true, that, by enactment of the Legislatures, tbure is already a lien upon the Road for about $3,900,0Uti Bonds is . sued for the building and completing said Road, (only $83,000 of which is is now due, aud uo more will be due in several years,) yet the Road is so very valuable, this lieu ought not to affect the matter, where only $1,000,000 or $3,090,000 more is aduod to ihe same. Without at this time suggesting auy system of taxation or fuakiug any recom mendation ns to taxation, I will olose this subject by merely saying, that by refer ence to the ‘‘table” alluded to, it will be seen that an advalorem lux of 60 cents on the SIOO valuation ot 1860, (which was $369,637,732 after exetudiny slaves,) would yield a tax 0f£51,846,139 60, and that 36 cents on the SIOO, would yield $934,069- 80. Surely then, the State of Georgia, with her large assets, and material wealjh, aud with her groat mineral resources hardly yet touoned in the way of devel opment, and which in tbe course of tune, must be immensely valuable, ought not to fail at thie time, to raise what money she may need, upon advantageous or equitable terms.
