Wjiß«LitN»& Ata-ahtic Hail
Atlanta, Georgia, October 11, 1852. )
To his Excellency Howell Cobh ;
Sir:—l have the honor to submit to you the
following report of operations on the Western &
Atlantic Kail Road tor the fiscal year, ending on
the Both of September, together wlLh its present
condition, aird that ot tho motive power ard cars;
also, estimates for the probable expenditures du
ring the ensuing year.
The total amount of Earnings, during
thojear, have been $375,176 62
The total amount of Expenses, for
maintaining and working the Koad,
during the same period, have been.. 826,505 63
Leaving a balance, as nett profit 0f... .$ 48,670 99
And an increase in the gross receipts
of the Road, over-the previous year,
of $ 90,148 18
This, you will perceive, is not a very flattering
exhibit;* but it isowing to the fact that a very
large amount of our earnings has been paid out for
expenses incurred prior to my connection with the
Rond—much of wiiich, no doubt, is. legitimately
chargeable to previous years, a-* the lute Chief-
Engineer, in his Annual Report of September 80th,
1851, states that the Koad owed the sum of $79,-
285 72 to the Georgia Kail Road Company, be
sides other unadjusted account*-to,a considera
ble amofiut. This’sutn, with" the “ una ljustcci
amounts” alluded to, which have been ascertained
to be due that Koad, amounts, to the sum of $185<,-
968 68, besides a farther amount of several thou
sand dollars yet unad justed between the two Roads,
This is only one item; but It is by fat ‘The largest'
amount due to any one individual or Company, on
account of expenditures prior to the Ist of Februa
ry 1852 The total amount due by this Koad, prior
to the above date, has not been exactly ascertained
—as several accounts are now undergoing investi
gation, and others are occasionally coming in ; i
in, however, supposed that it will not fall much, if
anv, short of $450,000 00. This sura includes the
cost of six engines, four passenger cars, two hag
gage cars, twenty-eight freight box cars and ten
freight open cars—the cost of all of which will
amount to about $75,000 00. Up to the 30th ulti
mo, we have paid out for Prior Account the sum of
$304,227 12, as follows :
For Expenses of maintaining and work
ing the Road $134,602 71
Bonds redeemed, and Interests 14,455 41
Balances of Freight due to other Roads 60,019 57
For Construction ,- 95,155 43
|304,2-_7 12
How much of this amount ($184,603 71—which
is chargeable to expenses) belongs to previous
years, I am unable to say ; but there is no doubt
it has been accumulating for a long time._ For a
detailed statement of the payments on Prior Ac
count —which means liabilities incurred previous
to the Ist of February, 1852—1 refer you to the
Table of Expenditures marked A.
In making these remarks explanatory of our
meager profits on the past year’s business, it is
not my purpose to refleet upon the late Managers
ofthe*Road; but simply to state that which ap
pears necessary to a fail and correct understanding
of our business since my connection with it.
Since the Ist of February—the date at which
our Accounts commence—the Earnings and Ex
penses stand as follows:
The total amount of Earnings from the
Ist of February to the 30th of Sep
tember have been $278,229 33 j
The total amount of expenses for main
taining and working the Road daring
same period, have been 136,695 79
Leaving a balance, as Nett Profit for the
eighth month’s operations, of $111,533 59
The Increase in the Receipts of the Koad,
over the corresponding months of the
previous year, have been $78,726 17
Thus, it will be seen, that oar operations for the |
la»t eight months show a most flattering result ; !
and I have no reason to apprehend a less favorable ;
one for the ensuing year.
Our rule is, to pay, each month, all the liabilities 1
of the one preceding. Hence, the Expenses of j
the month ending the fiscal year must appear as j
those of the first mouth in each succeeding An- j
nual Report.
For a detailed statement of the principal articles
transported down the Road—its Earnings, and a
comparative statement of the Income of the year
just closed, with the previous one, I refer you to
the Table marked B. * Some of the heads in this
Table are not filled up, lor the four months ending
on the 31st of January. This omission was ren
dered necessary in order to save the great amount
of labor attending the division, according to this
Table, in consequence of the manner in which the *
Book.> were kept prior to that date. It w>'' *
seen that each class of Passengers and be
are arranged under appropriate hr.-' cre edits
at a glance, from whence our lS _ s ho’.vm^
V the same plan should b* inu ? are derived,
years, it will afford, pursue.? for a series of
Gve modeaf cam- on ? an ea * y , but iu-t ruc
at_ different the operations of thi Road,
S&* periods? in fotnre yearn. 'ln the
* .leaded “ Up Through Freight” is entered
r reight that passes from Atlanta to Chatta
nooga; in that headed “ Up' Way 1 reight is enter
ed all Freight that passes from Atlanta to Way-
Stations on' this Road, whether destined to go on
other Roads or not. In like manner, ‘ ihwn
Through Freight” and “Down May I reight, is
that which passes from Chattanooga to Atlanta,
and from Way Stations to Atlanta. I assengers
are, likewise, classed mu similar manner, iho
headings of ail the other columns in this Table
fuilv explain the character of the entries in them.
This explanation is deemed necessary, to prevent
misapprehension, a»different definitions arc some
times given to Through and W ay business.
In order to show the Earnings of the Rond prior
to, and since, the first of February, the first tom
and the last eight months of the year are added
separately, thin the whole is consolidated. lon
wffl perceive that there has been a steady increase
Tn the business of the Road, over the previous
tear, in every month, except one. The fulling
off in that I presume, was owing to the veiy
severe weather experienced during that month.
For a detailed statement ot our Expenditures, !
refer you to the Table marked C, in which is
given, under appropriate heads, the dis
bursed for maintaining and working the Load,
well as for reconstructing and equipping it.
The Treasurer’s Report (hereunto annexed) ex
hibits the c~sh Receipts from all sources, since the
12th of February, and the amounts disbursed.
The items under the. head ot 4 Charges Account,
in our "We of Expen inures, are the balance* of
other Roads against the Western & Atlantic Road
-being excess of the r charges collected by us
over our Freight collected by them. This account
b only introduced to balance the Treasurer s ac
count of cash Receipts, and does not affect the
Earnings or Expenses of the Road. . ,
As the Treasurer’s report of cash receipts does
not embrace the whole operations of the year, n< r
the amount of $95,000 which was a temporary loan,
made to meet payments that were due, and pres
sing before the appropriation for the Koau could
v,/. available, it ias been deemed necessary
D 0 nidae avauiauio, u. uov/mwu • • i (
to give a statement of the cash Account, winch
exhibits the whole cash transactions of the year.
It will be seen that we have received from the i
State Treasurer the sum of 1450,000. There is
vet in his hands the sum of *129,340 42, the <
balance of proceeds from the sale of Bonds au- i
‘ thorized by the last Legislature. i
Steps were taken, shortly alter I came in
charge of the Koad, to ascertain the exact condi
tionofthe accounts of the several Agents, and I
*m pleased to inform you that I found it necessary
in but two instances to institute legal proceedings
for the recovery of balances in its favor which
suits have not, as yet been brouht to a close.
We have, at the present time twenty Locomo
tives Their names— character—when put upon
the Road —by whom built—present condition

number of miles run by each since the 16th of
February —will be for.nd in the table marked D.
In addition to our present supply of Locomo
tives I have contracted for twenty-one more, as
follows - From Messrs. Anderson <fe Souther of
Richmond Virginia, eight; from the Messrs. Jsor
ris Brothers Philadelphia, three; fiom M. V . Bald
win, Philadelphia, Iwo ; from Messrs. Rogers,
Ketchnm & Grosveuor, of Patterson, New Jersey

Messrs Anderson & Souther, Seth Wil- |

Tiie work of replacing the Flat-bar with T-rail
has progressed rather slower than I anticipated it
would when first commenced. Wo have stalk
about fourteen miles of the old Plate-rail on Hie
a Road, which 1 hoped to have had removed by this
time. This part of the road is, however, in a tol
“ crable condition, and jffeel butlittle apprehension
that we shall bauble tO^ftonduct.our .business wkh
’ safety oyer it. The remainder of the Line is in
’ fair order.
1 have recently examined all the Bridges and
Culverts, and believe them safe for the present.—
There, is however, much to be done in the course
i of the ensuing year, in order to make the -Road
what it should be. The particular work which I
would recommend to bo done without delay is enu
-1 incia.ed under the head of Kbt4te&t«s fdF'tbS'-'Ex
- penditure.- for the ensuing year. The work n«-
1 cessapy U> be don, at the Etowah River is not in
cluded in this estimate, ffor the reason that Ido
not consider it essential to do more than to contract
* it* commencement early in tiie following year.
This, I think, will bo prudent, as iti« important
that we should commence so large an undertaking
at an early day, so as to insure its completion be
fore there is a possibility of the old struct fire’s
jivi ng away. The work* at Whetstone, Arms’and
\ )ffiug> Bridges has been let at reasonable prices,'
and op .-aitions commenced in good faith,, It. is be
lieved these will ail foe filled up before there will
be any danger from the piesent work. - * —

could be met from the earnings 6t y the following
year. 6 j

Euftff. - IJO t actually necessary to complete the
s'" .jo as to enable it to perform its rapidly in-
business. In addition to this, further
sinns must be expended, yearly for Bars, until the ,
Road has its full equipment. It will also be ne
cessarv to fill in a part of the Bridge at Etowah
and re-build the balance of the Bridge. Allatoo
,n an d Pettis’ Creek Bridges should likewise bo
tilled A portion of the expense of the I assenger
Depots at Atlanta and Chattanooga, and of a
Transshipping House at the latter place, will have
lo he tome by this road; but 1 ha\o no doubt it
will be able to meet all such necessary expendi
tures.
The necessity that exists for tho prompt execu
tion of all the work I have enumerated is such,
that I should feel I had not discharged my full duty
,v( re I to fad to urge its prosecution with all pos
sible dispatch.
The amount, necessary to put the Road in order
and to discharge its indebtedness, has been found
greatly to exceed the calculation of any one at the
time the appropriation, by the last Legislature,
was made for it; consequently, it will be absolute
ly neces ,ry to absorb all its earnings for the ensu
ing year in meeting these payments —after which a
very handsome revenue to the State may be reason
ably calculated upon. ,
I found the Depot Buildings at both ends of the
1 Knud, and many of the Ware-Houses at Way-Sta
-1 tions entirely inadequate for our business. Atthis
' c ity, I have purchased a site and commenced Build
- inirs and Tracks on a scale sufficiently large to ac
' commodate any business that will probably offer
for some years to come, and upon a plan which is
susceptible of being enlarged' to « considerable
extent.
It is proposed, by the Officers of the different
Rail Roads terminating atthis plr 36, to build a
commodious Passenger Depot, on what is known
a* the State Square. This can only be done after
all the present buildings are removed. Such aDe
! pot is very much needed; and as all parties will
; expect certain privileges, 1 propose a convention of
.. all interested, at this p ace, at as early a day as
i practicable, to agree upon the details of th® con
tract and plan of the Building.
At. Chattanooga, I have made the necessary ad
ditions to our grounds, with a view to construct
" Buildings and Tracks for tho accommodation of
the increased business we may reasonably expect.
4t Marietta. I have commenced a Passenger
* House and a Ware-House, sufficiently capacious to
r answer the wants of that flourishing city. Both
> these Buildings will be compl „ed w ithin the next
Itwo or three mouths.
At Kingston and Calhoun, we have likewise
commenced W are-Houses of sufficient dimensions
1 which will be completed with all possible dis-
WHICH wm r
patch.
At Dalton, it was found necessary to have in
creased accommodations tor our Passenger busi
ness; accordingly, I have purchased a site, which
ic now being graded, preparatory to the laying of
Ti acks and the erection oi a suitable House. It is
proposed to build upon such a scale as will accom
modate the East Tennessee and Georgia Road, as
well as our own. The expense attending tbs,
should be borne by the two Roads; but, as the
privileges each shall respectfully enjoy, have not
been determined, it is deemed best to
final adjustment to remain m abeyance for the pre
sent.
All these improvements are of a permanent and
substantial character —such, I flatter myseii,
will prove to be, not only useful ornaments to the
Road, but monuments to the Enterprise and Libe
rality of the People of Georgia.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

Sir: I have the honor to inform your Excellency
that, from the i2th of February to the 80th ultimo
—the end of the present fiscal year—the receipts of
this Office have amounted to *559,452.74, and its

It is proper to state, in explanation of the item
of $9,490.71, which appears in the Report of the
Superintendent, (in marked A,) thpt. this

THURSDAY MORNING IVOV’B 18, 1852.
Correction or Errors.—Although very annoy
ing to us, we seldom make a formal correction of
the typographical errors that sometimes occur in
our columns, prefering to leave their correction
to the intelligent reader, who can also make allow
ance for such casualties in the issue of a Daily
paper. In our leading editorial of yesterday,
however, there are two, which induce a departure
from this custom, and we therefore refer to them.
In the seventh paragraph the word “resist
ance” should have been “existence,” and “debas
ed” should have been “deluded.”
The Stale Road.
As a matter of general interest to all classes in
Georgia we publish this morning the Annual Re
port made by the Superintendent, Mr. Wadley, to
the Governor, and commend its careful perusal to
every reader. Tie expose of the “very efficient”
manner in whkjh the affairs of the Road were con
ducted by the late “ distinguished Chief-Engi
neer,” (Mitchell,) and his assistants, whose man
agement was so strongly endorsed by Gov. Towns,
will attract the attention of the reader, although
it will not surprise anyone familiar with the then
management of the Road, or how little credence
was due to the declaration* of Gov. Towns, in re- ■
fereucethereto. Every candid man, who feels auv
solicitude for the prosperity of the State and
success of the Road, will esteem her mo* L p ortn .
nate in being rid of such miserable a r )o j O g-, es f or
an Executive officer and Chief-Eng’ - eJ- as Xowni
and Mitch t *ll.
The Vote fr tieopg|a 7
Th.e Milledge\ ille ps per 3 contain the official vote
of 97 counties in Treorgia, Hancock and Troup
counties, still w jn ting, which show the following
result:
Total ’ #o^e 97 coun tieß 60,594
® or ossion Pierce ticket 33,407
Scott ticket .* 16,039
Webster ticket 5,225
Tugalo ticket 5,773
i The majority of the Secession ticket over all is
6,370.
It is a remarkable fact, that in the 97 counties
the Secession party has actually polled 4,829 votes
less than was cast in the same counties last year
for McDonald, their candidate for Governor, who
was beaten by Cobb 18,573 votes. The entire vote
falls short 33,847 of that cast in the same counties
last year for Governor.
These facts show very conclusively what would
have been the fate of the Secession ticket in Geor
gia, if Mr. W ebster or Mr. Fillmore had been
the candidate.
Swiss Cheese. —Our friend, G. T. Dortic, ap
preciating our fondness for the good things of life,

way, that we have tasted for many a day.
“The Medical Examiner and Record or Medi
cal Science.” —The November number of this valu
able periodical is on our table, containing its
usual variety of original and miscellaneous matter.
Under the Editorial head we find an account of
the various medical schools in London, with the
names of the different Professors of the “ Exam
ining Boards” —there the examining boards are dis
tinct from the schools, which wo think a decided
improvement. This work is Edited by F. G*

kee Advocate is shrondfdin mourning for the death
of Major George Lowret, a distinguished citizen
and ex-assistant chief of the Cherokee Nation. He
died on the 20th ult. The Advocate says :
“The death of this great and good man has
cast a gloom of sorrow over the entire country.
For sixty years he was actively engaged in aiding
and directing the affairs of the Nr don. The great
and good Lowrey, who for so many years ‘towered
araongat us like some ancient ruin,’ has fallen.
Full of honors and ye rs, he has been called to his
Father. He lived honored and loved by the Che
rokees. Ho lived a patriot —and dieda(. hristain.
Mr. Lowrey, was known to many citizens of
Georgia and East Tennessee. He was a man en
dowed by Nature with strong practical intellect,
a close observer of men and things, and possessed
the rare quality of being a devoted and sincere pat
riot.
The vote in New Hampshire upon adopting the
Maine Liquor Law was very light, many of the
towns not voting at all. The aggregate in twenty
towns was 1,727 against the bill, and 1,162, for it;
majority against adopting the bill 565,
The Largest Tunnel in the World. —The lar

Charleston Fair and Poultry Show.
From the Courier of yesterday, we clip the fol
lowing notice* of th# Fair of the South Carolina In
stitute and the Poultry Shpw, both of which are on
exhibition 'IS that city :
ThR Fair.— The Fair of the South Carolina Insti
tute opened lastevening, at the building erected on
Life Citadel Square. The fruits of the persevering
pTbombf the' Committee of Arrangements were
abundantly made apparent, in the immense amount
of work which they had been enabled to get
through with during the twenty-four hours pre
vious to opening. Many unavoidable causes had
combined to produce unusual delay. Yet by un
wearied exertions, an attractive display of articles,
both useful and ornamental, has been produced.
. . Among the most prominent contributions, is a
steam engine from the extensive manufactory of
Messrs. Cameron, Mustard & Co., which in the es
timation of numerous practical judges, who have
closely inspected it, is a fine model of handsome
and substantial workmanship. It comes entire and
unaided from the hands of young Charleston me
chanics.
In the centre of the hall, elevated upon a plat
form, are specimens of ornamental cast iron railing
and floors, exquisitely worked, manufactured at
great expense and labor, by Mr. C. Werner, of this
city.
Near these aro specimens of animals and birds,
from the museum of the Charleston College, pre
pared by Prof. F. S. Holmes, among which are the
celebrated head and horns of a gigantic moose—a
great curiosity, which our naturalists would do
well to examine.
In another department are several elegant car
riages, built in this city and State.
A cotton gin, manufactured by S. L. Burns, of
St. Mary’s Ga.; a patent excelsior straw cutter from
Columbus, Ga., by £. T. Taylor & Co., are among
the specimens which may be regarded as well wor
thy of examination.
A number of pretty and delicate articles of em
broidery and ornamental work, paintings, daguer
reotypes, maps, <fcc., are on exhibition which we
may hereafter find space to notice a little more in
detail. The Fair will be opened every day this
week at the hours mentioned in our last. * \
The Poultry Exhibition.—Yesterday was the
first appearance of the birds in full feather, before
our citizens, and the throngs of strangers who have
come among us to see the novelties of the season.
It is, we believe, generally conceded that the pre
sent exhibition is a vast improvement upon that
of last year. W T e find the same contributors at
their posts, together with several new candidates
for the honors of successful stock raising.
The poultry yards of Air. Hugh Wilson, Drs.
Furman, Geiger, Ramsey, Messrs. Gefken, Michel,
Hanckel, Carew, Tennent, Stevens, Williams,
Whitney, and many others whose names we cannot
recall at this moment, are liberally and creditably
represented. Shanghais in incalculable profusion,
Cochin Chinas, bantams, ducks, geese, pigeons,
sw r allows and game-fowls, &c., of every shade of
pedigree, color, variety and peculiarity, make up a
crowded and confused bazaar from which it is al
most impossible to select the particular subjects
for invidious criticism, and to which we are not
sufficiently familiar with the technicalities of the
science of poulterology to do justice in a vain at
tempt to analyze scientifically.
Visitors from the North who have witnessed
similar exhibitions in the principal Northern cities,
agree in pronouncing ours as yet unsurpassed, and
not a few acknowledge it unequalled by what they
have heretofore seen. We might say of this show
that no one visiting our city, should go away with
out paying his respects once or twice, at least, * lo
these noisy winged giants and giantesses, b r a t it
can hardly be necessary, as no one that wa unow
would miss it, for the mere value of tea tents ad
mission.

Hungarian Prosperity. —The Vienna correspon
dent of the London Times, who has never be
trayed any partiality for the Austrian Government,
states, under date of the 17th inst., that the ad
vancement of Hungary, in prosperity, has been
rapid since the conclusion of the war. The pay
ment of the new taxes is-ready; the increase in
the value of lauded property «uormous; the growth
of tobacco is particularly encouraged; the chief
obstacle to agricultural progress is found in the in
dolence of the emancipated peasantry. Like the
colored race of the West Indies, they cannot at
once reconcile, in their heads, the ideas ofliberty
and labor. Highwaymen and burglars had multi
plied, but the system of pursuit and punishment
would serve to correct the evil.
Large Negotiation. —We learn from the Now
York Times that about one million dollars, Ten
nessee loans, have just been purchased for the N*
York and London market, by Messrs. Corcoran,
of Washington, and Carnmann, Whitehouse & Co. f
and Riggs & Co., of New York, on terms highly
favorable to the credit of the State. The negotia
tion embraces —in the State 6 per cents, of 1890,
$440,000; Chattanooga road, endorsed by State,
1880, $325,000; City Memphis, endorsed by
Charleston Railroad, $200,000; total, $965,000.
The negotiators were the Commissioners of the
Charleston and Memphis Railroad Company, wh 0
receive SBOOO a mile from the State as their work is
completed, and the President of the Chattanooga
and Nashville Railroad Company, who have the
endorsement of the State to the extent, in all, of
$850,000. The precise premium realized has not
transpired, but the Times believes the direct is
sues of the State brought 107 or 108 per cent., and
its endorsements nearly as much. The Memphis
City bonds aro 6 per cents., with the railroad guar
anty, and represent a corresponding amount of
stock in the road.
The Japan expedition, it is said, will sail for Jed
do about the Ist of December. It will consist of
the ship of the line Vermont; the steamers Missis
sippi, Susquehanna, Princeton and Alleghany,
sloops of war Saratoga, St. Mary’s and Vincennes •
frigate Macedonian; brig Porpoise, and storeships
Southampton, Lexington and Talbot—in all 13 ves
sels, carrying about 330 guns and 3700 men, in
cluding marines. The steamers are supplied with
Paixhau guns. Com. M. C. Perry will be in com
mand of the expedition. Commander J. R. Sands
has been assigned to the command of the steamer
Alleghany, and Capt. Hiram Paulding to the ship
of the line Vermont. The expedition is to carry
out, among other modern inventions, a magnetic
telegraph apparatus, a locomotive and railroad
cars.
The Norfolk Beacon learns that Commander Geo.
P. Upshur, of the U. S. ship Levant, died last
month at Spezzia. Com. U. was in a declining
state of health when he left Norfolk, but it was

Una ranted Lands.
Mr. Editor :—Having very recently been in Mil
ledgeville, I looked over the Land Books there, to
ascertain whether there were any uugranted Lots
drawn by orphans or others in Richmond county. I
found the following, which may be interesting to
some of our citizens.
I have not examined into the particular localities
or probable values of these lots, but I am lully sat
isfied that they are worthy of more attention from
the drawers than they have yet received.
Lot No. 1268, in 17th district, and 3d section,
drawn by Catharine; A. George and Charles T.
Lyons, orphans, of 12uth district, Richmond, and
located, I think, in Paulding county.
Lot No. 1086, in 20th district, and 3rd section,
drawn by George Barton, orphan, of 124th district,
Richmond, and is located in Paulding county.
Lot No. 291, in the 17th district and 4th section,
drawn by Joel C. Turman, of 124th district, Rich
mond, located in Floyd.
Lot No. 450, in Ist district and 4th section,
drawn by Laid M., EL. Virginia, L. C. and Alex. C.
Walker, orphans, of 398th district, Richmond, lo
cated in Paulding.
Lot No. 562, in 2nd district and 2nd section,
drawn by Sarah Gordon, orphan, of 123 d district,
Richmond, located in Cherokee.
Lot No. 660, in 21st district and 2nd section,
drawn by Eliza, James, and Ardaminda Panned,
orphans, of 123 d district, Richmond, located, I
think, in Cobb county.
Lot No. 99, in 3rd district and Ist section, drawn
by Marian Smith, orphan, of 122nd district, Rich
mond, located in Cobb.
Lot No. 1154, in sth district and Ist section,
drawn by Benj. Dye s orphans, of 119th district,
Richmond, located in Lumpkin.
Lot No 80, in 12th district and 31st section,
drawn by Martha Martin, orphan, of 600th district,
Richmond, located in Lumpkin.
Lot No. 121, in 15th district and Ist section,
drawn by Ann Amelia Moore, widow, of 398th
district, Richmond, located in Lumpkin.
Lot No. 522, in I.sth district and Ist section,
drawn by Rev. Joseph L. Moultrie, of 121st dis
trict, Richmond, located in Lumpkin.
Lot No. 207, in Bth district and 3rd section,
drawn by Mana L., Peter J., and George M. W,
Shannon, orphans, of 119th district, Richmond,
located in Gilmer county.
Lot No. 247, in 25th district and 2nd section,
drawn by Benj. Dye’s orphans, of 119th district,
Richmond, located in Walker.
Lot No. 110, in 27th district and 2nd section,,
drawn by James Hutchins’ orphans, of 600th dis
trict, Richmond, located in Murray.
1 understand that the above, as well as all oth'ar
up.granted lands, will, in a few months, revert to
the State. In view of this contingency, it is to be
hoped that the friends of the drawers or their rep
resentatives, will communicate this intelligence,
and enable the owners to obtain grants at an early
day. There is no ungranted lot of land in Georgia
that is not worth the grant fee.
Very respectfully,
Wm. H. Pritchard.
Augusta, Nov. 16, 1852.
American Stocks in London.— The New Yorß
Times thus speaks of the unjust course pursued
towards American securities in England:
While on the subject of important Stat e negoti
ations, we are reminded of the continued injustice
shown to American Stocks on the London Ex
change. Even our Federal bonds are i iot quoted,
and the dealings in them are left to a select number
of private sellers, who seem to make iff their espe
cial pleasure to pet the securities in which they
chance to have a large and direct interest as origi
nal negotiators on this side. The inequalities of
credit thus established is alike partial, unjust, and
we might add, in some instances, ridiculous. While
this is going oji in the counting-h ouses of the mer
chant bankers, (in courtesy called American,) there i
is scarcely a Government under Uie sun, Christian, :
Mussulman, or semi-savage, whose loans are not
posted and dealt in as part of t’ne foreign list of the
Stock Exchange. The States of South America
and Mexico are made quite speculative; Spain has
her actives and passives, and the Grand Turk is |
daily quoted, at 108 quick, down to 102% dull, ac- j
cording to the latest news as to whether his Serene 1
Highness will ratify or repudiate 1
m
More about Cuba.
The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore ;
Sun, says:
The promote sos the contemplated expedition ;
against Cuba here, openly proclaim their purposes
and objects, and they have no fear of any interfer- i
ence by this Government, for they will not, as they I
say, do any thing that is illegal. They can accom
plish all their objects, and yet commit no act in vio
lation of the neutrality of the United States. Their i
numbers are great, and their resources are proba
bly increasing, and their plans are managed
with discretion.
In New York, the number of men who could be |
marshalled in a tillibuster procession exceeds ten
thousand. They intend to make a great display on ,
the occasion of the reported removal, by the Go- I
vernment, of Lieut. Porter from the mail steamer ,
service. On some early occasion, they will make ,
a public exhibition of their “ Order” in the streets i
of New York, and probably of other cities. It ap
pears that the rendezvous of the invaders and the !
depository of their arms and munitions of war is to j
be without the limits of the United States. In con- |
uection with this subject, an enquiry has recently j
been made at the War Department concerning the
state of Mr. George Laws’ contract with the Go- I
vernment for the purchase of arms.
The following is an authentic statement of Mr.
Laws’ purchase of muskets:
64,399 muskets at $2.40 $154,55 760
65,623 do. 2.00 131,240
14,331 do. 2.00 28,662
$315,465 60
These muskets are in excellent condition, and
well packed in excellent boxes. They aro only a
small part of Mr. Laws’ collection ot warlike mu
nitions. The invaders will find no difficulty,
therefore, in procuring arms, and at u reasonable
price, for all tbeir objects.
Chinese Fraud.— A box of Tea, costing seventy
cents per pound, which had not been opened since
its departure from China, until its arrival at New
Orleans, a day or two since, was found to contain, ■
not superior “ Imperial Tea,” but the husks and
shells, of the grain of rice, mingled with a light,
friable clayish-colored earth —a decided cheat.
Pig Iron was sold at Pittsburg on Wednesday
for S4O per ton. A few months ago it could be
bought for $22. The Pittsburg Gazette attributes
this great rise to the scarcity of the article, many
furnaces being out of blast. This rise will soon set
them in operation again. The late rise in England
has also given metal a start in this country.
Files of Sidney papers to July 7th have been re
ceived in New ork. The gold discoveries are re
ported to extend in surface and increase in rich
ness of deposite. Fortunes are being made, it is
said, with great facility, and hundreds of emi
grants are arriving daily from all parts of the
world.
Another splendid steamship has been added to
the fleet of American steamers by the launching of
the Uncle Sam at New York, intended to run t»
Navy Bay. Her keel is 250 feet long, beam 35 feet,
and she has a capacity of 1,435 tons.

T he - o ackson (Equestrian) Statue.—The horse
portion ot this statue was for the first timo*opeued
to inspection of visiters on Saturday afternoon last,
on the premises of Mr. Mills, where it was oast.
The principal object was to test by practical trial
its stability, and the result is, as believed, all that
could be wished. The line of gravity falls cen
trally between the hinder hoofs of the horse, and
is precisely where it ought to be. When tho fi
gure of the rider is placed upon it, the stability,
from the increase of weight, will be still greater.
Mr, Mills will receive the congratulation of his fid
low citizens generally on his success. He has en
countered, with persevering patience, aserie-tof
disheartening obstacles, and has, so fur, worked
through them all. May all future difficulties,
should any arise, be met, and vanquishedina simi

Oglethorpe University.
A correspondent of th« Southern Recorder hu
famished that journal with the following notice of
the recent Commencement Exercises of this insti
tution :
COMMENCEMENT AT OGLETHORPE U NITERS !TT.
The Literary Exercises at this institution com
menced on Sunday morning of last week, with a
Baccalaureate Discourse delivered by the Rev. Dr.
Talmage. The reverend President chose for hi*
theme this text, “Bring forth fruit with patience.’'
He handled his subject with great ability, and with
a fertility of illustration, that indicated the polish
ed rhetorician and accomplished scholar There
might be different opinions as to some portions of
the discourse, but us a whole, it is entitled to great
admiration.
,:.Uu Monday even ng the Sophomore Clas* of the
College declaimed for prizes. This exercise ex
hibited a high order of oratorical ability on the
part of the speakers, and is but "continuation of
those fine annual exhibitions of eloquence for
which Oglethorpe University is so justly distin
guished ; and we may candidly say, we have never
witnessed in any College, in or out of Georgia,
speakers who surpass those at this institution.
May every link in the annually extending chain,
be as bright as those of the past, and our State w ill
have reason to be proud of the genius which she
possesses. There were several of the contestant*
of whom it could scarcely be said, there was the
slightest difference. In addition to the recipient*
of the prizes, Messrs, Avery and Harvey, we no
ticed particulirly Messrs. Boyd, Fort, and Hunter,
as speakers of a high order of talent of whom their
Alma Milter may well be proud.
On Tuesday, the Junior Class delivered original
speeches —highly creditable to themselves and to
their instructors. It would have been well, how
ever if their eloquence had been more brief and
less political in its tendency. Differing from this
tone was the epeech of Mr. C. W. Smith of Alaba
ma, on “Common Sense,” an effort, which for
freshness of illustration, simplicity of language and
originality of manner, deserves our particular no
tice and commendation.
On Wednesday morning, commencement clay,,
the graduates, fourteen in number, appeared tor
the la>t time in the capacity of students. Their
speeches were distinguished for the moral and re
ligious tone which pervaded them, which speaks
highly for the Faculty, in the religious influence,
with which they have surrounded their instit u
tion. There was much less variety of knowledge
displayed on the occasion than might hav e been
expected, and rather too much monotony f' oT a lite
rary entertainment. But what was lacki ng in this
was made up in the excellence of tiie to r ie that indi
cated the religions character of the sr eaters*
The Board of Trustees conferred the degree of
B. A. on the following members c,f the Graduating
Class: John E. Baker, Win. H. Baker, Samuel
J Bingham, W. K. Blake, John Cassels, Jas. A.
Cousar, J. A. Danfortb, Chas . H. Hall, Nathaniel
A. Pratt, C. J. Silliman, Lucius A. Simmonton, Ar
thur Small. Robt. K. Small f Thos. L. Taylor.
The degree of Master of Arts upon J. W. Dun
can, W.u. McCormick, J. G. Richards, and Thos.
J. Adams; the degree of D. D. upon B. M. Palmer,
of South Carolina, bl. Nall, of Mobile, Ala., and J.
S. Wilson, of Decatur, Ga. The degree of Doctor
of Laws upon the lion. William Law, of Savan
nah. This portion of the exercises being concluded,
the Annual Oration by the Rev. Dr. B. M. Palmer,
was then pronounced.
The subject of this gentlemen’s speech was—
“ The English Language—its claims to the admira
tion and study of English and American Scho
lars."’ . ....
Tins speech of the learned divine was distin
guished for its comprehensive erudition—its beau
tiful style and impressive delivery. He advocated
the claims of his subject to the attention of the
scholar, with eloquent earnestness, and persuaded
: many who were present of the solid advantages to
! be derived from a laborious devotion to their
j mother tongue. We hope that the speech of Dr.
Palmer will be published, that it may edify those
who did not hear it as well as those who did.
Thus ended the interesting exercises of this
promising Institution. Let the substantial merits
displayed on that occasion call forth from these
who desire to promote the cause of Christian edu
cation their warmest support. Let Christian fathers
send their sons to this fountain of truth—secular
and religious. Let the Clergy and tbs Church
i awake to their own true interests, and use their
I energies to build up and improve this valuable col
j lege.
