SATURDAY MORNING Aug. 25. J 866
Tii* Fifth Quartwii or tiik Gixibk.
The Government of Now Zealand has
subsidised a line of steam packets, to
connect with the monthly ( mall from
Southampton bjr wav of the Isthmus of
l’aiutma. This official announcement
is followed by a notice of a submarine
telegraph line to be completed in 18(>7,
as a branch of the great Anglo-Indian
line, to connect Australia with Asia and
Europe.
How oddly such announcements
strike those of us who are taught in our
geographies that these countries were
inhabited only by tattooed cannibals 1
They are growing up into empires with
marvellous swiftness. Tbrf name New
Britain is proposed for New Zealand,
as the three islands are, in fact, old
Englnnd at the antipodes, with a little
greater area. New Zealand has every
thing in her favor; an insular situation,
a fine climate, magnificent harbors, and
great mineral wealth—to which we may
ndd a steady, and recently a large in
flux of Anglo-Saxon population.
Let the following statistics tell the
rest of her promise : The white popula
tion was, in 1840, 2,050; in 1850,
20,000; in 1860, 83,000; and in 1830,
101,000. The value of imports was, in
1853, £507,000; in 1860, £1,500,000.
In sixteen months from the discovery
of gold in the island, the amount ex
ported was £2,005,000. In 1851 tho
colonies of Victoria, Queensland, Tas
mania, had scarcely an existence.
Within the radius of forty miles the
population did not exceed 500 persons.
In 1861, the same area held 100,000.
One thousand miles of telegraph are
now in operation. —Xew York Evening
l'ost.
State University. —From a recent
interview with one of the officers of the
State University, the Macon Journal <f -
Messenger had the gratification to learn
that General G. W. Custis Lee has
been elected Professor of Civil En
gineering in place of General Smith, de
ceased.
The editors of the J. <£■ M. were also
informed that an irregular class would
be organized for the benefit of those
who did not wish to pursue the regular
course of study ; and for instruction, es
pecially in mathematics, surveying, and
engineering. This class is intended,
particularly, to prepare young men who
were in the arnjy for the practical duties
of life; and this feature should com
mend it to the favorable consideration
of all such. In this department the
theory and practice of engineering are
combine’, and the student prepared
to make i the business of life.
What Louis Napoleon is Doing.—
The most important movement connect
ed with Continental affairs is announced
that, the French Government is sud
denly purchasing large numbers of
horses, aud buying up all the saltpetre
in the empire. The presumption, of
course, is that Louis Napoleon has be
come alarmed at the sudden accession
of wealth and power to Prussia, and
that il lie does not contemplate actual
hostilities, he intends to be prepared for
any emergency. The people of France
have been gradually becoming very
much dissatisfied with what has been
going on, and the Emperor has already
been publicly accused of weakness, if
nothing more. The aggressions of the
Italian army upon French soil, for such
Venetia became by the cession of Aus
tria, is regarded as an insult, to which
the Emperor has submitted to too
tamely.
The owner of a store in Montgomery,
for which he has been receiving three
thousand dollars rent, has voluntarily
fallen one thousand, and rented for two
thousand. When he gets tired of Mont
gomery we would be glad to see him in
Mobile. —Advertiser ifc Register.
We know of a landlord who has so
raised the rent on one of his tenants —a
merchant—that it forced him to deter
mine on leaving the city and establish
himself in New Orleans, where he could
work with some satisfaction and profit
to himself, and not be forced to give all
he made to pay rents. The landlord,
hearing of his determination, and know
ing that he was too influential and valu
able a man to go away angry, as an in
ducement for him to remain, gave him
immediate possession of one of the finest
stores in the city, and at one thousand
a year less rent than the same store
was leased for last year. —Mobile (Ala.)
Tnbutie.
In almost every city where the ques
tion of high rent3 is being discussed
instances like the above are recorded.
Why wont some of our Augusta land
lords give us the opportunity of record
ing similar praiseworthy acts? It
would he u pride and a pleasure to us to
do so.
National Express and Tbanspob-
Tation Company.— The attorney for
this Company having taken exceptions
to our publication of an item of news
from a cotem pornry, to the effect that
an injunction had been sued for and
obtained in Norfolk, Va., and elsewhere,
by stockholders to restrain that Com
pany from collecting further assess
ments, we now give the circular and
financial statement as made for the
stockholders by the Vice President.
By the figures it will be seen that the
Company’s indebtedness is $154,407 98,
and their cash ou hand is $40,000. If
the Stockholders pay up the balance
now unpaid on '‘former assessments,”
and the now “assessment of 5 per cent,
on $3,500,000,” the Company will have
$170,000 cash capital after paying the
present debt of $154,000. If the stock
holders desire to sustain the enterprise,
they must pay the assessments as re
quired, otherwise it must prove a failure.
Baltimore, August lOtb, 1866.
To Ih€ Stockholder e of the Rational Exprcet
and Transportation Company :
In connection with the order for a further
assessment of five pir centum on Stock, the
Board of Directors submit a brief statement
of the condition and prospects of the
Company.
The contract with Mr. B. F. Ficklin, so
much objected to by many Stockholders,
has been rescinded, on terms accepted by
Mr. F., and highly boneficial to the Com
pany. The reserve Stock of the Company
is thus loft free and untrammelled, and tbc
benefits of its operations belong to the
Stockholders as they stand.
Tho means expected from this source
never having been realized, the necessity
arises for a call on the Stockholders for
money to carry on the operations of the
Company. We venture the assertion that
lew Companies in the United States have
as large and responsible a list of Stock
holders as this, and that no Association of
the kind has ever gained such a foothold in
the country or won such success, in the
brief period of nine months, and against tho
most fearful opposition, as tho National
Express and Transportation Company.
Until within a few weeks past, the rail
roads of tho South have been locked against
‘•The National," and “The Adams" have
held the keys. The Courts have re
cently thrown them open, and now the
business of the Company is rapidly spread
ing and increasing throughout the entire
South. Indeed, from New York, the great
centre of trade, the lines of the Company
extend over a large portion of the West and
South, and the operations are now just ap
proaching the self-sustaining point. In
tho past, mistakes have been made; much
money has bceu misspent; some experi
ment* have failed, and agencies in certain
localities have been inefficient. This, how
ever, is tho common late of all such enter
prise* ; nevertheless, steadily and suroly,
has the Company been moving forward,
uutil now absolute aud assured success is
within its grasp. Ail that is needed is the
means of carrying tho Company through
the next few months, and the victory will
have been won.
Appended is a statement of tho financial
condition of the Company, viz:
Property Account $221,282 72
Cash, Notes, etc 40,000 00
Balance on former Assessments.. 110,000 00
Assessment of five per cent, on
$3,500,000 175,000 00
Total Means $546,282 72
Off entire Indebtedness and
Liabilities 154,407 98
Total Assets $391,874 74
From this statement it will be seen that,
with the assessments promptly collected,
the means of the Company will be ample;
aud it is confidently expected that no
further call on the Stockholders will be
required. The arrearages of assessments
will now be promptly collected, as the ob
stacle to their collection arising from the
Ficklin contract bas been removed. •
On the 20th day of June, 1566, the Board
passed an order authorizing the consolida
tion of Stock upon the basis of twenty per
cent, paid up. The legality of this order
having been doubted, it bas been rescinded;
and the whole matter will be referred to a
meeting of the Stockholders, which the
Board has directed to be convoked in
Baltimore ou the second Tuesday in October
next.
The Board speaks thus plainly and frank
ly as to business men. They trust the
etateiiieut will suffice to secure prompt sup
port and payment of quotas. They do Dot
choose to refer to tho risk of investments
already made, or to tho legal liabilities of
Stockholders; but, with the pledge on tho
part of the Board that the rigid system of
economy, and reduced expenditures already
instituted, shall he fully carried out, they
appeal, with confidence, to the large and
responsible body of Stockholders they repre
sent, to sustain, with needed promptness,
an enterprise already a success in the South,
where it originated, and on the highway to
prosperous fortune throughout the entire
country.
By order of the Board,
M. G. Harman, Vicc-Prcs’t.
Tho undersigned, Stockholders of tho
city of Baltimore, concur in tho recommen
dations of tho foregoing Circular; and
having confidence, from the information
given to us, and on which wo rely, that the
Company can and will succeed, if properly
sustained, we trust Stockholders will prompt
ly respond to the requisitions on Stock.

To the Board of Biiectors of the National
Express and Transportation Company:
Gentlemen : —Since my communication to

penditures, I have perfected an arrangement
by which, with others entirely feasible, tho
annual expenses of this Company will bo

Augusta Savings Bank.
This institution has bebn
paying, for the past year, fifteen cent!
ou the dollar for the Certificates of Deposit
which it issued during the war in exchange
for Confederate money. This per centtge
has been paid on the recommendation of t
committee, composed of Dr. Joseph Milli
gan, Josiah Sibley, Esq., and W. J. Owens,
Esq., three disinterested citizens of Augusta,
of high character and position, who exam
iced and valued all the assets of the Bank.
This valuation did not amount to fifteen
per cent, of our circulation, but the com
mittee estimated that we might be able to
pay this per centage on the supposition that
many of the bills had been lost or de
stroyed. Since their examination, all the
Exchange, Coin, Bullion, Bank Bills, Bonds,
Stocks, CouponsgCotton and Merchandise
held by the Bank have been sold. Some of
these have proved to be less valuable than
the estimate of the committee, and some
more; but on the whole an advance of
nearly twenty per cent, has been realized;
so that the Bank will be able to pay
eighteen cents in the dollar for its change
bills, unless the number destroyed shall be
found to be smaller than anticipated. No
larger per contage than this can be paid
hereafter, as we have nothing now to ap
preciate.
We have recently investigated the amount
received by the Bank for its Certificates,
counting the Confederate money at its
value when received, and find that it was
less than eighteen cents in the dollar; m
that this Bank will pay hereafter not only
to its depositors, but to its bill holders, the
full amount received.
The new Savings Bank of Augusta, char
tered by the last Legislature, will redeem
