agree to work U: after .it was built exclusively for
the buiielU ol their Company. Tho answer to
the Georgia Coropjmy on this subject, is At your
cooiiuauu. ThisCompauy could never agree tb
any such arrangement. It wus considered there-
fore,that the Georgia Company did not give its as-
went to the Bamusville Road coinpromue.
It became then the duty ofthe Board, under
jmur dirdetiou, to causo u sUrvcy to he made of
the Road from Macon to Columbus, that the
umemlcif charter might be wived, That survey
wus accordingly made, aud the report of it is
ready foryour examination. Any further tie-
ticu on this subject will not be taken without
your sanction. 1
The Board found it impossible to get any
subscriptions to the^Road from Mucon to Colmn-
with sufficient certainty, that tiie Georgia
panvolTers to tho people of Wilkes and Hon-,
cock, if they will pay to tho Georgia Company
tho $300,000 wliich they bovo subscribed to the
Wilkes Road to build a Road from tlio (own of,
Washington lo tho Georgia Rail Road,near Cum-
tniug, and another Road from Sparta to tho some
S , and thon to subtaribo $100,006 towards a
from Augusta to the Seventy MUe Station
on tbo Central Road, if this Company and tho oit-
izous of Savannah will giv* fhoir $i00,000 to the
latter enterprise. ' *«•'**
This Board has long boon desirous of obtain.
ingaRoad Rom tho Central through Burke to
Augusta. In considering the eonsequonecs to
result from tho copstrtfction ‘df such's Road, this
Board saw that they nevor could reasonably ox-
S i;ct to obtain the aid aud co-operation of the
oorgia Company aud tho people of Augusta in
this enterprise upon auy other plan than the quo
suggested in otir last annual report If is very 1
clear that a Road from Augustu to tho Ninety
MUe Station,, or even the Eighty Milo Station,
worked independently of any control by tlio
Georgia Company, would fake from that. Com*
pauy the carriage oftlie great mail aud the pas
sengers generally accompanying it.and throw that
business oil our Road for one hundred or ouo
hundred and tun miles. It was, therefore, siig.
gestod ’ by this Company, to the Georgia Com
pany to unite with it in a guarantee ofsevoii per
cont intorost to subscribers in tho Burke Rond
on the cost oftlie Rond, to join tho track of it to
tho Georgia Road iu Augusta and to the Contral
at the Eighty Milo Station, to work it with the
engines and cars of both Compnuios, and so to
control its tinto as to niakb it Antagonistic only to
tiie Charleston and Hamburg Road.
The inducement, in tho opiulou dfthis Board,
to the Georgia. Company tocarhroilithat plitn,
was most noworftil. As tho Burke Road charter
ia unlimited—perpetual—a Road may. for half a
million of dollars,he built, which will take offfVotn
tho GAorgia Rail Road, a business worth $100,000
por annum. Such a Road wonld throw a hc»w
and lucrative businoss oh tlte uppor portion oi.
Central Rond. Bat Savannah Wonts a Road to
prevontaH tho trndo brought iutd'Ajigasta by the
Western & Atlantic Road from going to Charles
ton. It wants union ofinterest and fooling with
Augusta if that union enn ho obtained on fhir
terms,—Hence the offot that if the Georgia Gout-
S would, in effect,. pny half tho expanse of
ttg Uio Burke Road this Company would
pay tlio other half. Than, equally controlling a
Road united to both Roads, the Georgia Company
could he secure from any injurious consequen
ces and this Compuny would have an equivalent
for tho business .which otherwise would he
thrown on the upper part of its Road. Much to
tho surpriso and to tho rogiot of this Board that
view of lha,.subject seems to have mot with no
favor from Augusta.
Tho Board fuels bound to express, briofiy,its
views of tho olTor recently mado by tho Georgia
Company. Tho terms of compromUo are not
satisfactory to tills Board, and for tho so reasons :
1st. Whilst tiie payment of $300,000 by the
people of Washington and Hancock, secures two
Branch Roads.to them and the Georgia Compa
ny, ono. from Washington aud the othor from
Sparta—tiie subscription of 300,000 from tlio
Georgia Company, this Company and Savan
nah will uot pay half of . the cost of building a
Road from Augusta to tlio 70 wile station. The
latter Rond therefore, is not at all secured. '
2d. A Road from Sparta, to tiie Georgia Rail
Road, coupled with on agreement to leave tho
S ound between Sparta and the Central Roil
oad unoccupied by a Rail Road would be di
rectly injurious to us. It would take offtradu
which now comos to us. And further, it would
immediately tempt tlio construction of a Rood
from Sparta to Milledgevillo and thus be soon
tho meads of establishing a crossing from Macon
by Gordon, Milledgevillo and Sparta to Augusta,
to tho great injury ofthe Central Rail Road aud
8avannuh.
3d. Although there is a charter authorizing a
Road from Augusta to the Contral Road, tho Road
must, by the terms ofthe charter, join the Cen
tral lloudin Burke Comity. The Seventy MUe
Station is in Scriven County, nine miles below
Burke.
4. Tho 8eventy Milo 8tation is objectionable
as the point of junction with the Contra!,because
thereby the expense of the Branch road will be
increased $100,000. An inspoetion ofBouuer’s
map will shew that the Coutral Road from the
Seventy to jho Eighty Mile Station is directly in
the line to Augusta and henco the Branch Road
ought to leave tho Central at or near the Eighty.
6th. The Georgia Company does not oiler to
permit a junction of tiie track of tho Branch
Road with its Road in the City of Augusta.
JB* Hoard indulges tiie hope, ifthepeoplo of
Wi kesi and Hancock shall express satisfaction
with a Roadfrom Augusta to the Central Road,in
stead of tho Wilkes Road, that the Georgia Com
pany will yet- embrace tho offer mado by this
Compuny,and fully explained and set forth in our
last annual report. IP appears to this Board that
upon no othor plan can tho Burke llond he made
sutisfuctory toad parties—upon no other plan can
the means be conveniently and immediately raised
to build it. If that plan fidls, and Savaunah by
any act of hors shall forego or give uptheadvau-
tones ofthe WUkes Rond, site imposes on her*
self, with but holei aid from any otherquarter. the
task of raising half a million of dollars to build a
Road from tho ninety mile station to Augusta.—
This Beard respectfully solicits tiie views of the
stockholders on this subject, being content to car
ry them out whatever they inuy be.
Very recently, it wus ascertained that tiie sum
of $175,000 could be, instantly, raised in tiie eity
of Now York to build two sea steamers to ply
between that city and Suvaunnh, if.our citizens
would subscribe $125,000. Tiie Board ugreed
to subscribe $50,000 towards the establishment of
suchuliuo and tho necessary subscription was
immediately filled up.. Two sloumera of the class
of tiie Northerner running direct to Savannah
would bring vory great profit, in travel and car*
riage of valuable package goods to ourlloud.—
Besides—unless Suvutmah is furnished with such
convoyanoe, whilst Charleston enjoys it, our
Road aud City might be seriously injured. iThe
Board believes tlmt.no measure of greator im*
K ortunce to our Uo&d enn be suggested than the
ue of ocean steam-packets referred to.
The Board has granted to tlio Washington nnd
New Orleans Telegraph Company . ; flie right to
put up their Hue of wire olbug the track of tho
Central Road, receiving from that Company tiie

Tho itom of maintenance of way has been in
creased during the past year by the extensive re

rebuilt 25 trejtie bridges varyiug In length from
10 feet to 300 feet, besides the trestle bridging in
tiie Oconee Swamp, iu the re-construction of
which wo have made considerable progress.
The rapid decay ofthe piles and mud sills of
thatstraemro, owing to tlio poeulior character of
the soil in tiie swamp, renders it indispensable to
p ace tho trestles on brick foundations, wliich
plan we have adopted iu .the rebuilding of tlio
work. We have commenced on that portion Af
tlio work which has been longost stauding, and
propoio to co on grotlitnlly with tlio renewal,
taking uhouttlvo ycura to complete it. A conaiil-

The Road is however in a sound condition,
and tiie trains perform their trips with regularity.
The item or motive power lias also been in

Engines during tiie year, which wan occasioned
in part by two serious nccidonts which dann
have also almost entirely rebuilt one of six wheel

Tho probable duration of our Iron rails Mnsub-
joot which claims our attention as of tho utmost
importance.
The indications of deterioration tlio* consider
able, are not such .os to give us any uneasiness.
Our jj rail being of a very light description, ha*
suffered considerable injuries, particularly on thu
sharp curves, by abrasion ; but not so much as
to in itoriolly impair its strougth, except in Very
few instances.
I would recommend that a small quantity of
Iron ho orderedduriug tlio present year, say for
fivo or teu uiilos. ns a commencement of a grad
ual renewal of tho iron of the whole roud. Tho
old iron could be sold to advantage in defraying
part of tho cost of the new, or bo re-rolled by
some bfiho Iron establishments iu the country,
for relaying. t
As to the particular pattern best adupted to our
road, I will only remark, that I am at present iu
favour of tho U rail iu uso on tho Georgia and
Western &. Atlantic roadB. This rail weighs a-
bout 45 lbs. per yard, or about 70 tons por milo.
Iu obedience to the direction of the Board, a
survey for tho uxtension of tho road to Colum
bus was mado during tlio past summer- The
Estimate resulting from this survey may be con
densed ns follows:

The reports of tbo President and Engineer, in
ourcolumus, will be perused with interest
Tho earnings of the rood have increased over
tho previous year os much as $80,423 59.
And this gratifying result is exhibited, notwith
standing tiie earnings in November of this year
arc much less than the satno month in last year,
caused by the Planters holding their cotton for
bettor prices. The item of expenditure for main
tenance of way lias also beon .considerably in
creased by exteusivo repairs of bridges, twenty
fivo trestlo bridges having beon entirely rebuilt,
besides considerable progress mado in the trestle
work of the Oconco bridge, which has been
placed on a firmer foundation. Had we room
wo would notice these Reports more at large
They will repay perusal.
The Gallant Dead.
The mortal ronmins oftlie veteran Hero, Mc
Intosh, have, we learn, been shipped from New
Orleans for this port
Onr spirited Citizen Soldiers will, we are sure,
adopt measures for paying a Soldier’s tribute to
all that remains on earth of ono, who “loved tiie
name of honour, more than he feared death.”
He was emphatically his country’s Soldier, and
though his martial spirit no more animates his
once manly form, it will be an affectionate tributo
to his memory to houour in death him, who in life
honoured himself, nnd illustrated in his deeds tiie
honour ofan insulted Country. i

We are greatfr surprised and deeply regret to

upon the rates of,commission in Savannah and
tho police regulations of tho city in reference to

two great errors. It appears in the first place,
that ha has presumed that no plautor who brings
his cotton to Savannah can sail it for himself, un

seumfl to have compl lined of tlio high rates of
commission iu Savannah, and his bill professes to
reduce iL Had Mr. Waters inquired into tiie
matter, before making liis move in tho Lugisla
turo.he would have learned that tho Commission*
charged in Savannah art far less than iH any city
of the Southern scaboark.
The rate of commissions in Charleston is 2£
per cent ou the whole amount of salos of upland
cotton; in Savannah U is only filly cents on
tiie bale, frequently not exceeding one per ccttj
ou tho amount of sales, and never reaching
21. The commissions in Mobile and New Or*
loans are ftilly as high a* iu Charleston. In fuel
they are far less in 8uvannah than in any seaport
town.
But upon wliat'grouiid can a Bill of liio do
scription Iiavo buen introduced into tho Legisla
ture 1 Whero ib the principle that will sanction
it? A cardinal doctrine of tho Republican frith is,
that that Government is tho wisest, tho best, the
frecall that governs tho least! Why should tlio
Legislature interfere in tlio business relations of
Merchants and planters? Competition will al
ways chock oxtruvagauce in rates of commission,
did any such exist,—and even were this to fail, we
cannot uiulcrsand tiie principles oitiicr of justice
or of policy which would authorize tho Legisla
turc to pass a law on tho subject.

Commodore Conuor, U. S. N., iuis left Phila

The following Preamble and Resolutions wero
passed in Council yesterday:
Whereas, The interest of tho City of Savan<
nah in tiie Capital Stock of tlio Central Rail
Road and Banking Compatiy of Georgia, has not
been as beneficial to tlio City oa was contemplated
atthotimo of subscribing for tiie same, and it be
ing the opinion of many judicious persons, that
the City of Savannah is not fairly represented
according to hor interest and representative ca
pacity, in comparison with other Stockholders,
in the appointment of the Directors, and neces
sary agents to manage the affairs of the Compa
ny, hoing now allowed only sixty votes upon fivo
thousand shares, while upon tlio graduated scale
now governing individual Stockholders having
minor interests, the City of Savannuh represent
ing collectively all the inhabitants thereof, ought
to be entitled to one thousand and one votes, to
place her upou a just, equitable footing:
Be it therefore Resolved, That a proper a|
cation be made to the Legislature of Geor
gia, now in session, in beholr of the City of Sa-'
vannali, asking for such an alteration and modifi
cation oftlie charter of the Central Rail Road
and Banking Company of Georgia, as will allow
the City of Savannah to rote for every purpose
upou the several Shores of stock now held and
hereafter to ho held in the Capital Stock of the
Central Rail Roud and Baukiug Company of
Georgia, upon tho graduated scale now iu opera
tion, and that tho City of Savannuh shall and may
be exempted from the operations of the provi
sions contained in the 13th section ofrulo first of
tiie Law providing (hat no person or body polit
ic shall be entitled iu his, or her, or their own
right to more than sixty votes, to tiie end that the
interests of tho inhabitants of tho City of Savan
nah may be justly and equitably represented.
Hampton Course.—The [Augusta Chronicle of
the 8th inst. says—The attendance on tho Turf

and tlio sport of little interest. The eolt stake
was awarded to Col. Singletou’s Priam filly, dam
Ataiunta, the other seven having paid forfeit.
- Tho second race wan won by Singleton’s buy
mare in two hoats—timo lm. 53s. and 1m. 60s.,

HAMBURG, Doc. 8.—Cotton.—'Wo continue
to report very light recoipts of this attic!e with
limited sales. The demand for the past week has
been good, buyers evidently manifost more confi
dence, but holders show no disposition to part
with their crop* at current rates, which wo set
