lifter paying for all expenditures an account
of the two Roads and Bank. These ex
penditure* are large, but it has been the poli
cy of the Board to improve your property,
and with thet view the work that has been
done upon the two Roads is of the most
thorough end substantial character.
r n*Ier the lease of the South*eaterb Rail-
roftdit became, toall inteuts and purposes, mr
integral part of your Rond, and under the
usual plan for working long lines of Rail
way, would be managed under two divis
ions, but in this ease it is thought best to re
tain the two General Superintendents, one
especially for the Central and the othar for
the Southwestern Road, and thus, to some
extent, leave the management as before the
lease. This, however, could not be done in
reference to the account*, embracing the
Earnings and Expenses cf the two Roads
which necessarily centers at and emanates
from the principal office at Savannah. This
brief explanation is made in order that yon
mny understand why it is that there are Re
ports from two General Superintendents. The
only difference being that, in addition to the
geutrul condition of the Road and rolling
stock, the Superintendent of the Centra!
makes a report of the Earning* and Ex
penses of the two Ronds, while the Superin
tendent of the Southwestern Road confines
bis report to the physical condition of the
work under his charge. In the piactical
working each is expected to see that our pa
tron* are properly served, and that their sub-
_.-dinates’uerforin their rospactD
This plan, io Bonn? extent, requires a separate
mutability from the subordinates of the
the two Roads. In other words, while all
accountable to and governed by instructions
from the principal office in all' matter* hav-
in" reference in any way to accounts and the
payment* of money, each Superintendent re
tain* hi* prerogative in all other respects over
his subordinates.
For detailed statements and exact informa
tion respecting the condition and all opera
tion* connected with your own and leased
Roads, for the past year, yon are respectfully
referred to th* annexed Reports of the Gen
eral Superintendents and the head* of De
partment* under them. In this connection
the Board wish to call special attention to
the question of using steel instead of iron
rails tor future renewals. This question has
been referred to by onr Road Master in his
lust two reports, and, as will bo seen, has re
cently been carefully examined by Mr. Rog-
.... and Mr. Powers In connection with Mr.
Scattergood. The result of this examination
as stated by them, is clearly in favor of the
use of steel rails on our main line between
Savannah and Macon, and probably on tho
Southwestern Road between Macon and Forf
Valley. The Board will, therefore, act upon
these recommendations, a* far as the availa
ble means of the Company will admit, in Riv
ing order* for rails in future. Upon all other
points the Board feel that it is quite unneces
sary to offer any remarks in explanation of
th* reporta referred to.
The Cashier of the Bank, by his balance
sheet and report, shows a very satisfactory
result in that department of your service, but
we are yet in want of a much larger cash cap
ital to enable the Company to enlarge it*
to the

sphere of usefulness to the community, and
at the same time increase the b«sJne*e of .the
Road. Such a capital the Board hare sought
to provide, by the sale of securities held by
the Company, but the scarcity of money ddrJ
ing the past year has prevented any consid
erable sale, which oould not be made except
at prioes which were regarded as entirely tod
low, and hence it is that we remain in but
little better condition, in thin remieet, .than
at the beginning of the year. Should the
financial condition of the country become
more favorable for the sale of undoubted Se
curities, the Board can but reiterate the re
commendation made in the last report upon
this subject. Having had applications from
'arious points in the interior of the State for
Branches of the Bank, the Board have estab
lished* throe agencies. Otoe at Macon, one at
ColumbuS and one at-Albany. The two last
have not yC* commenced basinees, but the
one at Brecon has been in operation since
early in October. it promises to be of
very considerable advantage in the tnnsset
tion of our business. Th« Agent, Gen. W.S.
Holt, from his long connection with the South
western Rood, understands fully ail ^ mat
ters connected with our R°ad ^operation*,
which, with his experience as a bank officer
in past years, fits him, in an eminent degree,
for tho position he occupies, and with the aid
of Mr. J. T. Boifeuillet, as his Cashier, the
Board feel confident that your interest will
be protected. Dr. J. F. Bozeman has been
appointed agent at Columbus, and Captain
j. W. Armstrong at Albany, both gentlemen
of experience anu sterling character.
Having in view the necessity for a connec
tion with the water at Savannah, to facilitate
tne import and export of articles by sea, the
Board have for some time had * under con
sideration tho must feasible plan to accom
plish so desirable an object ReoJmtly finding
that the property known as the Vale Royal
plantation, containing about 270 were* of
land, was for sale, the Board authorized ita
purchase, providing it could be had at a
stipulated price. Negotiations were there
fore commenced for its purchase, and it is
now your property, at a cost of $82,000, a
little more than it was expected we should
have to pay, but in vi*sr of the advantages to
the Company by owning the property, it was
deemed best to make the purchase. The pos
session of of this property giro* th* Company
not only a way to carry our track to. the
water, but a moat eligible site tor a ship canal
or basin np to the mpn line of your rchd.
The construction of sndh a bakin'would near
ly double the river front, and. thus greatly
enlarge the capacity of onr port- Such a.
work wonid cost a Urge sum of money, but it
is believed to be only » qneatlon of time
when our commeroe soil require it* construc
tion, and when that time comtc it will pay
to make the investment. At present it is
only proposed ter carry onr track to the ijver,
and make some necessary improvements lor
the accommodation of vessels, not involving
any very considerable outlay of money.
The negotiations referred to in the last re
port as then pending, in reference to
interest in the Montgomery and Weit Point,
and Western Railroads of Alabama, resulted
in the Georgia Railroad Company taking one-
half of onr interest and of the interest of the
Southwestern Road in the two roads of Ala
bama, sod also assuming an equal liability
with onr line on account of these roods.
Therefore th* line via Augusta now has an
equal property interest, and equal privileges
with os far all business from Montgomery
and beyond. In these negotiations ths
Board has been governed by the most liberal
views towards & competing line, asking only
j set and fair dealing Cor a business that we
have at all times been willing should be open
to both upon an equal ownership with us by
tbs other line.
Acting upon a suggestion in the report of
December, 18G6, the Board, in connection
with the Directors of the Southwestern Rail
road Company, by a committee for that pur
pose, made a contract with Messrs. Strothers
A Son, of Philadelphia, for a monument, in
accordance with a design that had been ap
proved by the two Boards, to the memory of
the late Richard R. Cuyler. The completion
oi this monument has been delayed much
longer than was expected when the oontract
was made, but the Board are now happy to
report that it is completed and erected as
contemplated in “Laurel Grove.’’ It is exe
cuted from red Aberdeen granite, with the
ipie inscription on one side, “The Central
1’ UAntkn^cl - - -
and Southwestern Railroad Companies
memory of Richard HCnyler,” and on the op
posite, “A tribute to distinguished ability
and unremitted faithfulness in the adminis
tration of great trust”
The Board again take pleasure in bearing
testimony to the zeal and fidelity with which
the officers and employes have discharged
their duties. Respectfully submitted,
Wh. M. Wadixx, President.

Savannah, December 1, 1870. )
Wm. M. Wadlex, Esq.. President:
Sir: In making my report for the fiscal
year ending on the 30th ultimo, it now be
comes my duty not only to embrace the earn
ings and expenditures of the Central, but
also of the Southwestern Railroad, which has
been leased to this company, which may be
slnted as follows:
Central Binned earning* *2.308,284
Southwest
1,324,179 60
Cnntrel Bellroed expendl-
3,632,463 99
$1,538,544 73
906,107 47—$2,441,689 20
Leaving* be Unco of. $1,190,8 1 78
The expenditures are heavy, bat are easily
accounted for when yon take into cs>nsidora-
tion the quantity of rails purchased, neces
sary to replace those too much worn for fur
ther use, as well as the purchase of six new
engines, and a very considerable addition to
onr stock of cars, all of which was necessary
to keep our stock up to the standard re
quired.
A detailed statement of- the earnings will
be found In tables A, B and C.
In tables D and E is shown the number of
bales of cotton and their destination.
The amount of fertiliser*, (gnano, suit and
lime), transported from Savannah, Macon
and Augusta is shown in tables G, H and I—
the inoreasa from Savannah over tho pre
vious year, is, guano, 14,630,1114; salt, 20,078,
and lime, 91,007 pounds.
From the other two point*, Maoon and
Augusta, we make no comparison, as our pre
vious reports do not show the quantity
shipped from these points. It can scarcely
be expected that ro much will be transported
the present year nnlers prices arc very much
reduced, as it is believed that planters can
not afford no heavy an expense, with cotton
at present low prioes.
A recent examination of the road shows
the permanent way in good condition; still
there is much to be done—considerable por
tions require new rails.
In my last report I referred to the nse of
steel rails as being tried on many of the
Northern roads; from what information I can
gather from those who have had an oppor
tunity of testing their .durability, I think tb
of steel instead o? iron rails cannot be
too highly recommended, and in order to de
monstrate this fact, I append a statement,
showing the comparative cost, estimating the
life of iron rails to be seven years and that of
steel 21 or 28 years.
The life of a steel rail being twenty-one
years and of an iron rail seven yearn, the fol
lowing will be the comparative oent of steel
and iron nils at the end of 21 years:
Goat of 1 ton of Steel Kails $105 00
Compound Interest for 21 years at 7 ft cent 329 75

Or, it is as cheap to buy Steel Rails at
$56 oo
cost of $105 per ton, as to buy Iron Rails at
a cost of $54 48 per ton.
If the life of & Steel Rail is 28 years, and
that of an Iron Rail is 7 years, then the com-
parative cost of Steel and Iron at the end of
28 years will be:

penditures of all kinds, fnxohring numerous
accounts and calculations necessary to in

one of very considerable labor.

of great labor and responsibility.

out into bold relief a point which cannot be
S ressed with too much persistency against
emagogues, who not only seize upon every
pretext to ventilate a cheap and canting “loy
alty,” but to arraign the motives of honorable
men, the latobet of whose shoes they are not
worthy to unloose. The third section of the
bill excepts “whoever, having been educated
at the Military Academy at West Point, or
the Naval School at Annapolis, tkall have
engaged in the rebellion and insurrection
against the United States, or given aid and
comfort to the enemies thereof.
According to the official Army Rtgisltr,
published under the authority of the War
Department, in 1861, it appears that long af
ter the capture of Fort Sumter by the Con
federates, after blood had been shed, the flag
hauled down from a national fortress, and
E risoners taken, the Administration of Mr.
incoln accepted the resignation of one hun
dred and eighty offioers of the regular army,
knowing that they withdrew for the express
purpose of taking part in the rebellion. * Mr.
Cameron, who, since his enforced retirement
from that Cibinot, has Sought to reinstate
himself with Radicalism by the most vindic
tive policy towards the South, was the Secre
tary of War who received the resignations of
Robert E. Lee, April 25, 1861; Joseph E.
Johnston. April 22; Albert S. Johnston, May
3; James Longstreet, June 2. and others of
less distinction within these dates.
If they committed treason, what ia to be
thought of the Secretary of War who collud
ed with them, and by whose official net alone
their services and skill were furnished to the
enemies of the country ? They did not iss
those resignations from concealment, but
the light of day, and in the face of the start
ling events which had then taken place, de
livered them "here in Washington to th© head
of the War Department; whose special duty
it was to protect that arm of the service
against defection.. If Lee and Johniton and
others who laid down their swords are guilty,
then Mr. Cameron, who accepted them, is u
doable-dyed traitor, for ht conspired with
them, and thus officially gave aid and com
fort to the enemy.
He knew their purposes, for they were
avowed, and with that knowledge he sent
them forth to make war. Had Mr. Cameron
then and there arrested these chiefs, os he was
solemnly bound to do, if there be any truth
or sincerity in his present professions, the
Confederate armies pever could have been
organized as they were, and the calamities
which befell the country might have been
averted. The fact that ho failed to perform
that duty authorizes the suspicion that he
was either oonspiring with “treason,’ or that
he desired to provoke the war for ulterior
designs. In any event, ho stands guilty of
criminal complicity with whatever offence
these officers may have committed. If they
are traitors, he is worse than a traitor, for- it
was by his agency and hi* treachery that
they were enabled to perfect the treason.

The severely modest city fathers of Louis

Ladies on the Street,” prescribing fees for all
men who, from admiration or with flirtations
intent, stare at ladies. The Mayor, who
knows how it is himself, promptly vetoed it,
saying that its faithful enforcement would
bankrupt not only himself bnt nearly all the
City Council.
A near-sighted Iudianapolitan went to see
his girl, and fell on his knees to propose in

had his wife’s apron on and was peeling
potatoes—before whom he was kneeling. He

The report of the Road Master shows that
lea of now Rails, with fish bar fasten
ings, have been laid dazing ths year just
closed; it was expected that more would bare
been put down, bnt from various causes, wc
have alien short of that expectation; we still
have in the yard of now Rails sufficient to lay
about 9i miles, which, with those that have
been laid daring the year, will eqaol 44
miles. His report alsashows the decrease of
Stringer Track, which we shall continue to
reduce, as we are able to replace it with new
and heavy Rails. The erection of ware
houses along the lines has progressed during
the year as rapidly as could be done with
economy, and the demands for more pressing
work.
The Wood and Water Stations mentioned
as being erected at Nos. 4, 6, Milieu and No.
14, on main line, and McBean on the Au
gusta branch, will expedite the movement of
trains very materially. It is intended that
similar structures shall be erected at every
alternate station along the line.
The report of the Master of Machinery
shows the condition of onr Engines at this
time, which will compare favorably with any
previous year. He recommends the purchase
of three new Engines within the ensning
year, which will De necesrary in order to
keep up our motive power to ita present ca
pacity.
