The funds arising/rom the payment of sub scription® to the capital stock or the company will soon be entirely expended on the work. As the Hoard at presont sees no prospect of making any considerable additions to the list of shareholders, steps have boen taken to issue seven per cent, bonds of tlia company, payable in ten years. These bonds ought to be dis- poecd of very readily, as they will constitute the only tncumbrance on the road when com pleted. More than three-fourths of the entire work will have been noid for, in cash, before the bonds are issued ; and ths road will be yielding 7 percent, on the co»t, under a con tract with the Central Company, before the »i r r®*L ,ear s °n the bonds accrues.— With such security they cannot fail to be sought after as a desirable investment.

Report of the President aud Directors of the AugiiHtaand Waynesboro’Railroad to the Stockholders. It becomes our duty, at tho close of another year, to submit a Report of the operations of the Company during that period, and tho pre sent condition of its affairs. As these are con fined almost entirely to receipts,disbursements, and work done upon the road, tho Report of the Chief Engiueer, herewith preseutod, and the tabular statement of the Bocrctary, which is attached, put the Stockholders in possession of all the items of information on these sub jects, which tho Board con furnish. Twelve months sinco the grading, masonry, and bridging of the twenty miles of road near est Auguatu, had just then been put under con tract. The first monthly “ Estimate” of work done on that division was returned iu February last. The work on that portion of the line has been so constantly and judiciously pressed forward by the contractors as tolgive the Board but little uueusiness on account of delay, and no causes can now be seen which are likely to prevent its completion at an early period within the present year. It is due to these energetic contractors to sny, that much greater progress would have been made, but for a sum mer of almost unprecedented sickness, follow ed by a season of excessive rains. The disas trous effects from these causes were, in a great measure, beyond their control. The delay and disappointments which have parked tho progress at that part of the work lying between Briar and McBean creeks, re ferred to in the Chief Engineer’s Report, have yeeu observed with great uneasiness by the Board. Ths fact that this point is nearly taidway between the Central Railroad and Augusta, and while unfinished ie an obstacle w Ilia way of the use of ihe Road al either ENGIXBBB’8 DarARTMUXT, A. AND W. R. R m n . Savannah, January lit, 1853. 1 o A. a, Lawton, Esq., President: Sir :—The period has arrived when it be comes my duty once more to luy before vou a Report from this Department. In doing so tho number and character of subjects requiring to be noticed will enable me to bo very brief. A t the period of the lest unnunl Report, tho Road wus completed aud in operation to Thom as’Station, a distance of fifteen miles. The Road went into uso to Waynesboro’, u distance of twenty and a half miles, in May—since which time it has been in successful operation, il we except a period of a few days when the regularity of the trains upon this road, ns well as upon the most of the roads in Georgia, was interrupted by the recent freshet. The amount of damage, howover, was inconsiderable. After reaching Waynesboro’ the condition of the grading prevented the further prosecu tion of tho superstructure nt that time. It was, however, resumed in November, and is now completed to a point two miles beyond Waynos- boro’. It ia behaved there will be now nothing to prevent its regular progress until a point is reached on the north aide ef Briar Crotk, which point will, by the stage road, be but about twenty-two miles from Augusta. No regulur station will be established at this place, but it may nevertheless become the point of transfer between the Railroad and Stage line, where by the time consumed Jin the trip will bo con siderably reduced. Here occurs a heavy and lengthy cutting, which presents the moat emuiderabte obstacle on the lino. Sufficient progress nas nut yt>« been made to enable me to determine with accuracy tho period.when its completion may be looked for. It ia likely, however, to be that part of the grading last completed, but I am Cdfe in saying, with the means recently adopted to expedite this part of the work, it's completion will form no obstacle to the open ing of the road to Augusta ill tiie coming fall, at which time I confidently look for that ovent. From McBean Creek to Augusta, a distance of twenty-three miles, tho grading is for ad vanced, and a largo amount of materia’ for superstructure ia in readinesa at Augusta. The superstructure will be commenced at Auguuta as soon as the iron, now on «he way and daily expected, arrives. It will he carried forward continuously from this point, probably to Mc Bean Creek, when it will be met by tho track from the other direction. On the eligible and advantageous site so fortunately secured for a depot in Augusta, all of the usual and necessary buildings, and oil a scute adapted to the probable business wants of the road, will be erected during noxt summer. They will be of an unpretending but substantial character—a warehouse, pan* dongor house, engine house, smith and machine diops, &c.—the whole to bo enclosed with a substantial brick wall. In reviewing the operations of tho past year, while we hata reason to be gratified with the progress made on that division of the Road, of twenty-three miles, uext to Augusta, the ex pectations of the Board are doubtless far from being realised oil that portion of the lino l>o- tween Briar and McBean Creeks. In justice to tho contractors undertaking this part of the work,l will remark,that I am satisfied their boat energies and efforts have been devoted to the work,accompanied byan evident end earnest de sire to husten its completion by all the means in theirpower: which, however, have not been e- qualto that rapid prosecution of the work which was reasonably looked for by yourself and the Board. The condition of this part of the work furnishes abundant evidence of the propriety aud necessity for tho plan recently adopted, and now being put in operation—that of put ting on a large additional force under tho di rection of the company. The causes which have led to disappointment iu the progress on (his part of the line, as you ore aware, ar< traceable in a grout measure to tho unhealih fulness of this particular portion of the route during the last season. As an instance of this l will mention, that on the22d November, out of twonty-thrne overseers and mauagers, eigh teen were sick and unfit for duty. At the date of ths last annual report, the site for the depot in Augusta had not beou deter mined ; the exact leugth of the road therefore could not be giveu. This point being settled, the length of the road is found to he fifty-three and one-tenth miles. In conclusion, I would call your attention to the Report of my Principal Assistant, Aug. Schwaab, Esq., which will he laid before you, and to the tabular statement prepared by him. Respectfully, F. P. HOLCOMB, Chiof Engineer.

A loiter wire rend by the Corresponding Se cretary, I. K. Teflt, Keq., from Lieut. Gilmore, ol the United States Army,now chargad by the Federal Government with tho important work of improving the navigation or ih* Savannah river. He kindly proposed to present to the Society a copy of tho proceedings of ths United States Commissioners appointed in 1830, for the same olijoct aa that now entrusted to himself. The thunks of the Society were passed for Mr. Gilmore's courteous offer,which wns accepted. Tho hope tvns entertained that the proceedings of the present commission of tho United Slates officers would also bo de posited with the Society. A paper wns read by W. B. Hodgaon, Esq., on the butanical characteristics aud commer cial value of the Whito Oak of South-western Georgia. On motion, this paper was ordered to bo published, with tho proceeding* of the Society. Tho White Oak of tho Alatninnha. My uttonliun has recently been atiractod to this invaluable forest tree, by a letter addressed to Dr. J. P. Screven, President of the Savunnah and Puusacola railroad, by a lum ber merchant of Maine. Hia general state ment ol the commercial and economic value of the wiiito.onk, the Quereu* Alba of the Bota nists, may be iIiub expressed : “ The white oak timber of the North has been nearly exhausted iu ship building. Con sequently the shii> yards of the North must, hereafter, be supplied from the South. As tho supply of this oak bus diminished, the South ern hard pine has been substituted for it, in planking vessels. Still tho white oak is esti mated much higher than pine, for this purpose, and it bears double th' price.” The writer makes known the important fact, that the borders of the Oconee, Ocmulgee, and -ilatamaha rivers, abound iu this important timber, and that it must, ultimately ,afibrd large freight to the Savannah aud Pensacola road now iu progress. i had early read the valuable work of F. Andrew Michaux, descriptive of the forest trees of North America, and I had a recol- tion of the great economic and commercial value which he attributed lo the Uuercus Alba. Willi the djsire of ro-pcrusing his scientific and practical description of this noble forest tree, I inquired for a copy ol Michaux, and was happy to find it in the Library of this Society. The occasion reminded me of tho useful pur poses which our infunt society o»d its library may promote. In this case it has contributed to a knowledge of an article important to com- tqorce and the useful arts. 1 may not omit this occasion to pay a just tribute ofrespoct to this Society’s munificent benefuctor, Dr. J. P. Screven, to w hom the letter referred to was written. I deom it instructive to make the following oxtracte from Michaux’s Aorth Americau r*s»/«'• • ~ 4 * There ore forty -four special of oak in North America, including Mexico. The white oak grows to the height of sevnuty or eighty feet, und to the diameter of six or seven, according to the nature of tho soil and climate. It is the only species of oak which preserves its dry leuvea in the depth of winter, and sheds them os the sap rises. This characteristic, added to the color of its bark, which is very white, gives it the name of while oak. It may thus be dis tinguished in the middle of the winter. Its acorns are seldom abundant. They are large, oval, and very sweet. For several years, consecutively, ono may hardly find a handful of these acorns in an extensive forest, so small is the fructification of the white oak. The timber of the white oak is reddish, and much like that of Europe. Its timber is the best, and most generally used, of all the species of American oak. It is very tough, docs not readily decay, and atTords piecos of large di mensions ; in which respect it has the advan tage of the Querc'is virens, or live oak. Great uso is made of this timber for build ing mills and dnms, where it is exposed to tho vicissitudes of heat and moisture. The wood en bridge, joining Cambridge to Boston, which is 3,000 feet long, is supported by posts of wiiite oak, from 14 to 50 feet long, and which have been substituted for those of whito pine, which formerly existed. The wood of this tree is very elastic, and divisible into thin latninm. Hence it is called basket oak. It is valuable for cnrtwright’a wink, for ploughs, wheels, aud wagonB. The bark is used for tanning, but in this application *' is inferior to the Quercus rubra, or red oak. It produces a purple dye. If this dye had been found durable, it would have ranked with tho Quercitron of commerce, which is ob tained from tho Quercus tinctoria, or black oak. Staves ntado of white oak are, of all others, the best suited for liquor and wine cusks. The post oak, alone, competes with it. The ex portation of white oak staves has been im mense, to Great Britain, Madeira aud the West Indies. Those which are brought to New Or leans from tho Western States are preferred. The price of white ouk staves fluctuates be tween 30 and 70 dollars the thousands The value of their import into Kuglund and the West India Islands, may be placod at several hundred thousand dollars. McCulloch's Com mercial Dictionary would afford the exact amount. In ship building, the white oak cannot, with equal advantage, he substituted for any other. In all tho dock-yards of the Northern and Middlo States it is almost exclusively used for the keel, and always for tho lower Irame and the side hoards.” Mr. Michuux asserts that the greatest quan tity of white oak is now found iu the Middle States. He does not seem to have been aware ol its great abundance in South-Western Geor gia. lie ineutions ttiecurious fact, that on the rivers of Maine, ho lias seen fields that had boon cleared of their natural growth, the beech, birch, maple and hemlock, and afterwards de- sorted, grown up with white oaks. In lower Virginia the natural growth of forest trees, un der like circumstances, was succeeded by scrub ouk mid lob-lolly pines. Mr. Michaux’s scientific description of the white onk is ns follows : Quercus Alba—Foliis subn-qualiter pinnoti- fidis, luciniis oblungis, obtueis, plerumquo into- genimis. Fructa innjuscula; cupula craterata —tuherculoso—scahrata ; glondo ovata. Our Major’** Niory. A pleasant mun, though rather addicted to snuff, is our mujor. He is tull, and has round stooping shoulders, which some of us don’t consider at all military. Our major, ufter the fashion o( most half-pay officers, is often, according to our national saying, “ like a Waterfurd merchant, very busy with nothing to do.” His snufl-box, his newspapr., his garden, and his dog, would serve but iidifferently to fill up tho long hours of a summer day, were it not for that valuable resource,- -and let stern philosophers, whether in Dowsers, potticouts, or bloomers, say what they will, it ts a valu able, and by no means exclusively feminine resource,—cosy, gossiping chit-chat. Our major is a thorough, but most harmless gossip. It is, however, in telling stories that the major shines. Ah the public al large cannot be supposed equally well instructed in these legends, I will recount one which never fails to answer to thi word ** executor.” “ Bo Brown, you tell me, has been appoint ed executor to Smith’s will,” said the major the other day, as we were lounging together against the low, sea-washed wall that divides Carlisle Terrece from the beach. I’ll venture to cay the trusts committed to him won’t be us ttrango as mine were the first time I was made executor. ^ Some years since, I received a letter from niy Did friend and comrtulo, Ellis, of the —lb, telling me that his health had been for some time declining,—that he wns about to make his will, and earnestly desired that I would consent to act as his sole exocutor,— 4 there being,’ he added, 4 a trust of some importance to be undertaken, which 1 wish to confide to no one but yourself.' The letter concluded with a cordial invitation to pav him a visit at Ihe snug cottage in Devonshire to which he had retired. Now Ellis wss like myself—an old bachelor; and except hia half pay was. I know, but little burdened with this world’s baggage and accoutrements, so it never oc curred to ine that the trust 1 was to undertake rouid possibly relate to anything wore im portant than tho bestowal of legacies on his old housekeeper and butler, or-hia almost equally antiquated cat and dog. I wrote im mediately to accept tho in> itntion, and early next morning I deposited myself and my portman teau in the E coach, which, after a day’e travelling left me at my destination. A pretty vino covered cottage waa my friends’ abode, and he was himself standing at the garden wicket, ready to give mo a cordial welcome. There was nothing very death-like in tho clear, bright glance of his oye, or in tho firm grasp of ltis Hand ; and 1 mumbled internally what tho missive he lied sent me could pos sibly mean. However, I kept my thoughts to myself, and followed Ellis into bis neat little dining room, where the snowy tablecloth was speedily and satisfactorily covered with a dish of fried soles, a pair ol boiled chickens, thoir snowy breasts gleaming amid fresh green parsley and butter, a jtlicy ham, and a dish of teuder young peas. Ample justice was done to this fare by myself, and, despite of his mor tuary intention, by mine host also. After din ner he produced a’capital bottle of port, over which we discussed many of our former cam paigning advonturas. Notwithstanding the fineness of the weather (it waa in the beginning of June), I had caught ft slight cold in tuy journey, which towords the close of the evening tuado itself felt in the very unpleasant form of toothache; and tho pnin becoming worse, I said to my host,— 4 i think 1 must ask your liousekeoper to-night for a bit of flannel and some camphorated spirit to apply to my unfortunate jaw. You, happy fellow! can’t know wlmt toothache is, your teeth all look so good.’ 4 Teeth!’ cried my host, his countenance changing,— 4 Teeth!’ ho repeated, shuddering; 4 Ah! you little know —you can't tell .’ 4 What’e tho matter, Ellis—whet do you mean 7’ ‘ I mean that a tooth—an unfortunate tooth, has been my ruin, and will cost me my life” And rising Iroui his choir, he pneed up und down the room in a state of the most violont agitation. Greatly astonished, I tried of course, to soothe him, aud induce him to reveul the cause of this strange excitement. 4 Well,'ha said ot last, ‘1 will rand for you the will to which you have kindly promised to become exocutor.” (I had Hindu no promise of tho kind, but my poor fritfnd took it for granted I had done so); and leaving the room, he speedi ly returned with a folded paper in one hand, and a very amall round box in the other. 4 Laying these articles on the table, he seat ed him8olr in his armchair, pushed aside his class, and making a strongeflorl to speak calm ly, began,—‘ About two months sinco I had oc casion to visit the town of T —- on business, which having speedily despatched, I dined at tho hotel, and afterwards set out for a stroll.— I passed through the High Street, and walked for some wny along the turnpike road without meeting any object of interest whatever. A shady green lane opening ou iny right, invited mo to turn into it—the fragrant hawthorn in tho hedge, am* fir* cooHv*>ah grass below, of- <eri»G *» Peasant contrust to (Tie hard dusty road on which I hud boon walking. I soon found that this quiat lone led to a still more quiotand peacefulchurchynid. And thread ing my way amongst tho tic graves, and rude headstones, 1 moralized on them aftor my own fushion, if not precisely according to that of Harvey. I hod at one time a •».» Aimly of phrenology, and stilTYe- tuined a habit of inspecting tho cerebral deve- lopements of every one I met. It was, there fore, with Homo curiosity that I picked up a large, round, weil-blcached skull lying on tho ground. What particularly interested me, however, was the great beauty ond regularity of tho teeth ; Uiey wero all perfect, und even ly ranged as if they had boon prepared to de corate the window of some advertising dentist. Led by an idle impulse, which I could not then nor can 1 now account for; I pulled out one of the grinders, put it into my waistcoat pocket, and, carelessly throwing down the skull, returned to the inn. Having partaken of tea, accompanied by sumo excellent muffins, I went to bed, and being fatigued with my journey, soon fell uslecp. 4 1 had slept for some time, but how long I cannot tell, when J waa suddenly awakened by the door of my room opening. In stulked a tall figure dressed in black, with a white- neckcloth ; his head was lurge, nearly bald, and he wore a pair of gold spectacles. Iu his hand he carriod a silver candletstick, bearing a lighted candle,and advancing to my bedside said in a menacing voice and manner, 4 Why did you rob mo of my tooth 7’ 4 My tongue Huddenlv became paralysed ; I tried to speak, but could not utter a word. 4 You have taken my tooth,’ continued the figure ; 4 and now take your choice. I'm not of a revengeful disposition ; I don’t want to do or say anything uncivil, hut one of two things 1 must have, and that instantly,—vour life, ot the best tooth in your head ! So look sharp aud take your choico.’ 4 The extremity of terror restored my voice. 4 Would it not do, sir, to restore your own tooth again?’ I gasped. 4 No, no!’ replied my visitor, shaking his head until the gold spectacles slipped down to the very point of his long nose ; 4 1 think I'm u retry good-natured fellow to give you the choico ; so which willyou part with—your life your tooth?’ 4 My tooth." I exclaimed, in agony ; and in stantly the apparition, with ns much dexterity as if he had been bred a dun tint, which perhaps indeed tho rascal was, introduced a forceps in to my mouth, und neatly extracted a fine sound molar tooth. 4 Look hero,’ continued Ellis, opening his mouth, and pulling back the lipi with his finger ; 4 scu the cavity he has left.’ There was indeed the space where a large tooth had beou extracted, and I remarked that rns the only one deficient iu the entire range. Well,' continued iny friend, 4 tlmt wus not all. The fellow pockoted iny tooth, ond then said— 4 Now you must promise on your honor as f ;eutlemun, that you will preserve my tooth as ong as you live, nud make {pro vision that aftor your death it shall be carefully interred with you. If you don’t—' And with a menacing ges ture the hateful proprietor of this departed as became.’ Ellis oponed the little round box, and showed e, carefuhy enclosed in cotton, the redoubted tooth. I really knew not what to say ; it was cer tainly very difficult to refrain from laughing, but iny poor friend was so evidently in earnest, that I merely remurked,— 1 It was a pity the good spectre was not sat isfied with resuming his own property, for real ly this tooth is so exactly the same size and shape as your others, that I think it would have exactly filled the cavity.' 4 It was strange,’ said Ellis, without noticing my remark, 4 that after such an agitating oc currence, I fell asleep; and slept soundly un til late next morning. I awoke, fovorish and unrefreshed, and returned home as speedily as possible, very thankful that tho road did not pass within sight of the churchyard. Ever Hince that time my hsalth has slowly hut sure ly declined ; nut perhaps, outwardly, but I know and feel that iny hour will soon come, and the dread of that fiend’s vengeance will embitter my dying moments, unless you, iny old tiied friend, will promise to see me buriod in T—— churchyard, and with your own hand to place this miserable tooth in iny coffin.' What could l do but promise 7 The case was one of dreidod monomania—argument and ridicule, both of which I tried, only served to make poor Ellis angry, and he was thoroughly determined not to see a physician—a measure which I urged on him strongly. I remained with him for a few days, and had the pleasure of leaving him, as I trusted, in better health and spirits than when wo met; aud I hoped that hia absurd fancy, aa I deem ed it, would soon pass away. I was therefore greatly shocked and surprised when, in about six weeks afterwards, 1 received a letter from his old housekeeper, telling me that her master had died somewhat suddenly, but requested with his dying breath that 1 should be sent for immediately. Need 1 say that 1 hastened to obey the sum mons 7 Very mournful it wa« t certainly, to enter the eiluui cottage where I had 39 lately that death had reeultsd from disease of ths heart. He, the clergyman of the parish, and Elba's solicitor, were all, at iny request, pres ent at the opening of the will. After having disposed of hia trifling property in legacies, tho document went on to request that I, whom he atylod his beloved friend, should have him doceutly buried in T churchyard, and follow in all mutters connected with hia inter ment the instructions previously given to me. I, ol' ceurae, took an opportunity ere the coftin closed, to place 4 the tooth* within it; aud having complied with the strange whim of my poor friend, I prepared the next morning, with a heavy heart, to follow hia body to the grave. The interment took plaoe without the oc currence of anything worth recording; hut after it wr.s over, I felt so wearied and dispiri ted, that I resolved to take up my abode for the night at the comfortable hotel at T—. After dinner I wus suddenly attacked hy my old eittiniy—toothache; and the pnin, resisting all the usual applicatious of hrandv, camphor hot flannel, &c., became at length so violen, and excruciating, that starting up in a tort oft frenzy, I inquired for the residence of the heat dentist in the towu, and speedily found my self in hia study. Whether it was the effect of reaction after the rapid exercise I had taken, or the well-known curative influence inherent in tho atmosphere of a dentist’s house, 1 kuow not, hut the pain I was suffering gradually abated; and when the operator en tered, i foil almost inclined to make a civil retreat without putting hia skill to tho test. However, on second thoughts, I considered it ns well to lay my case before him, and trv to obtain some soothing nostrum which might stand ino in stead on future occasions. I therefore told him how 1 had been affected, aud casually mentioned my having come u long journey that morning, and its melancholy cauae. 4 Ah!’ said the dentist, thoughtfully, 4 you came from E in Devonshire. The name of that villa^o is associated in iny mind with q curious incident which occurred to me some three or four months since.' Now i hap pen to have a decided hankering, whether nnturnl or acquired, after strange atoiica; aud my curiosity being excited, i begged the den tist t«i hnvn'the kindness to satisfy it. Seating himself opposite to me, he immedi ately complied, and began in those words:— 4 One night, betwoen three and four months since, I was aroused near midnight hy a loud knocking and ringing nt the dour. I was just about to step into bed, and my servants having long before retired to their rooms, 1 hastily re sumed inv clothes, and answered the suttimotm. An elderly gentleman with a military air and address entered. There was an odd, staring look in his eyes, hut he told me in a perfectly cohoren t manner, that he was suffering from dreadful toothache, and wished to liuve one of his grinders extracted immediately. Of coursa l ushered him into this room, placed biin in the patient’s chair,and proceeded to examino his jaws. 1 don’t think 1 ever saw a finer or mure regular set of tcoth—not a vestige of decay could I perceive in any of thorn—and the one which he pointed out as tho offender, seemed to he perfectly free from disouse. However, he insisted so strongly on having the tooth pulled out, declaring that hie comfort, nuy, his very life, depended on its being done, that i consented, though most unwillingly, to per form the operation, and iu a twinkling the tooth was out. Having puid nin my foe, the patient deliberately wrapped up hia tooth, put it into hia pocket, rose, nnd wishing me good night, waa about to depart, when a suspicion which arose iu my mind caused me suddenly to thrust a lighted candle close to his eyes. They nev er blinked; the pupils were fixed and distend ed; in fact, to cut tho story short, my visitor was fast asleep, and in a fit ol somnambulism had left his bed, and caused me to extract his oxcollent tooth. As he still continued in tho trance, and it would have been dangerous to allow ^ p. rev *ded on hiui to hia way with unerring accuracy to the hotel; and the gates happening to be open for the re ception ol the occupants of a night coach, I was able to see him to hia room without at tracting observation. 4 On inquiring after him next morning, I heard that he had left by an early conveyance lorE , in Devonshire.’ I looked attentively at tho dentist: he was a tall man, dressed in black, with n white neck cloth ; his head was large, nearly bald, and he wore a pair of gold spectacles, which had a trick of slipping down tn tho point of his long nose, whenever ha shook his head, which he did pretty frequently. 4 Did ’ you ever ascertain,’ I asked, 4 the nonie of your visitor7’ 4 Yes,' replied the dentist, 4 Ho took the blank back of a letter from his pocket, nnd tore off tho coruor to wrap un his tooth ; the remainder he dropped on the carpet, and it bore the address:— 4 Capt. H. Ellis, —th Kegi- mem, E , Devonshire.’ Here then wns tho explanation of my poor friend’s monomania. He actually died the victim of somnambulism. And such n as my first adventure as executor of a will. RECEIPTS OF COTTON. Ac., JAN. 11.
