uhe Hailn '|h*fss. City Printer —Official Paper LARGEST AItTcFrCIHATION. X tro H IST A ■ <+■*■■» 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. J. Hanson Thomas, Johns Hopkins, C. Oliver O’Donnell, D. J. Foley, Austin Dall, Wm. Devries A Cos. August 10 th f 1866. • Baltimore, August 10, 1866. To the Board of Biiectors of the National Express and Transportation Company: Gentlemen : —Since my communication to tho Board in respect to the reduction of ex penditures, I have perfected an arrangement by which, with others entirely feasible, tho annual expenses of this Company will bo lessened at least $60,000, without impairing the efficiency of the service. I am, very respectfully, Y’our obedient servant, John J. Kelly, Gen. Sup’fc. GRANITE The National Express and Trans portation Company—lnjunction Granted. —Brief reference was made in a telegraphic dispatch from lork, on Wednesday, to the fact of an injunc tion having been granted by Judge Geo. G. Bernard, of the Supreme Court of that city, against the National Ex press and Transportation Company. The injunction was obtained at the in stance of Orlando W. Joslyn, of the stockholders, to eujoin and restrain that Company, Jotcph E. Johnson, W. G. Harrison, Austin Dole, Daniel J-. Toley, C. Oliver O’Douniill, Kelley, John Ecbolls, and 11. G. Frank, from collect ing, or taking any proceedings to col lect, or enforce from the plaintiff' the payment of moneys for, or on account of stock of said Company, or assign ments, or calls thereon, either by sales of stock or otherwise, and from making any assessments upon the plaintiff in respect to or on account of stock, and also enjoining and restraining the Com pany, its directors, agents, and servants from pledging, using, or applying the property, funds, effects, and credits of the said Company to or for any pur poses or objects other than the regu lar and legitimate express and trans portation business for which the said Company was organized, and from car rying out or fulfilling the agreement with Benjamin Fichten, mentioned in the complaint, and from selling any of the shares of said stock held and owned by the plaintiff until the further order of the Court. The injunction having been trans mitted here to J. Dean Smith, Esq , acting in conjunction with the solicitors for the plaintiff irt New York, was, by bis direction on Wednesday afternoon, served by Deputy Sheriff Stephen A. Morse, on Mr. O'Donnell, one of the directors residing in this city.—Balti more American and Commercial Ad vertiser, August 17. Epitome of the News.

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 the change bills of the “Augusta Saving! Bank,” at their Office, No. 223 Broad street. H. K.
