However, the books of this office show that this road paid in the Treasury, as net earnings, In 1869, $420,000; 1860, $450,000; 1861. $438,000; 1862, $440,000; 1863, $1,650,000. All the above “assets” may be considered as good, and almost at par in United States currency, except tbe bank stock. But as no returns have been made to this office by the banks for the year 1866, there is no data upon which I can make a correct estimate of. its value. Considering the large amount of State bonds held by the b«nks, which were repudiated by the Convention, together with loesea in Confederate securities and bonds, the estimate of assets in bank stock must be at a low valuation. The report of D. Macdonald, the able and efficient Treasurer of the At lantic and Gulf Railroad, shows that the people of Georgia, by whom most of the stock oi this road ia owned, have not lost faith in its ultimate success. The losses of the road during the last two or three years have been very heavy, but by the good management and energy of its officers, most of its former lines of communication have been reopened, and the road pat in good running order. Also, an important breach of thirty miles has been built, openiug communica tions with the richest portion of Florida, end with a line of Gulf steamers from Mew Orleans, thereby con necting the East aud the South wosL This road has already added much to the real wealth of the southern portion of Georgia, and doubtless will 1m a greet thoroughfare of travel between Mew York and Mew Orleans. The further extension of the road will be continued, and its early completion to Alabama is now anticipated. A sufficiency of tbo stock having been taken, as required by law, the State has br*eu called upon and has paid her thirteenth instalment, amounting to $134,5iiU; and we have every reason to hope that the road will soon become a source of reve nue to the State. Owing to the very heavy losses sus tained by the Western and Atlantic Railroad, from the destruction'of its track, ro ling stock, bridges, depots, etc., by the Confederate and United S aids armies, no revenue has been derived from this source for tile fiscal year 1866, the road having paid into the Treasury only $75,000, and drawn thereiroui $383 724 40, for completion of repairs; showing a balance aga.nst the road of $308,724.40. While the future prosperity of this road cannot be doubted, it seems to me that there are no substantial grounds to justify tbe estimate that the same amount of revenue oan be anticipated from this source as accrued to tbe State prior to the late war, for at least one or two years. There ia no doubt, however, that with propitious seasons and a few abun dant harvests, tue business of the road, in tbe course of time, will be increased, and as large, or larger monthly net earnings declared than at any time here tofore. . Other lines of railroads, which are dee lined to be feeder* of the Western A Atlantic Railroad,will,it ia confidently believed, be completed at an early day,and add a new species of business, by opeuing a ready market to the inexhaustible si te quarries of the west ern portion of the State. We nave but to wait patient ly the developments of a few years to see our fondest hopes fully realized, when this road will again become the chief element of the financial operations of the State. PUBLIC DEBT. The following statement of the public debt of the State, in bonds, has been kindly furnished by OoL John Jones, State Treasurer: Due in 1868, 6 per cent Bonds Due in 1869, 6 per cent Ronds Due in 1869. 5 per cent Bonds Due in 1870, 6 per cent Bonds Due in 1871, 0 per cent Bonds Due in 1872, 6 per cent Bonds Due in 1872, 7 per cent Bonds Due in 1873, 6 per cent Bonus Due in 1874, 6 per cent Bonds Due in 1874, 7 percent Bonds Due in 1878, 6 por dent Bonds Due in 1879, 6 per cent Bonds Due iu 1880, 6 per cent Bonds Due in 1881, C per cent Bonds Due in 1886, 6 per cent Bonds Due in 1883, 7 per cent Mor* ~ $5,706,600 00 Section 8th of an a*'t approved March 12, 1866, pro- rides that the following bonds, together with coupons past due, are to be founded in mortgage bonds: Due in 1862, 7 per cent Bonds $46,000 00 Due in 1862, 6 per cent Bonds 16,5:0 00 Due in 1863. 7 per cent Bonds 49,600 00 Due in 6 P er 06111 Bo»‘<h3 39,500 00 Due in 1864, 7 per cent Bonds..., 32,000 00 Hue in 1865, 6 per cent Bonds 13,000 00 Due in 1859, 6 per cent Bonds (probably paid) 6,000 00 Due in 1861, 6 per cent Bouds 10,000 00 # $212,500 00 Bonds past due that have been funded... $ 20,000 00 Coupons past due that have been funded. 79,600 00 Coupons past doe yet to be founded. 616,802 00 $S28,809 00 Of the entire bonded debt of cLe State, amount- lag to $5,706,600.00, $2,676,500.00 is in old b ,nds, the first of which fall dne in 1868, and annually thereafter up to 1872, in such amounts as render the payment quite easy. It would be well to note that in 1872, |$721,800.00 of thue bonds fall dne, and unless some arrangement is P"** 1 * ously made to meet this heavy demand, there ^iU be some trouble; this being disposed of, our dwedebt can be easily managed. Since, to meet tW* debt, ana to pay interest on the same, the State which may be safely eetimated at $1,000,001*60,also the west ern aud Atlantic Railroad, which aejerjl years paid an interest of over 6 per c<“£ “to the Treasury on £7 000.000 00, and was vali*** by a committee ap- polntedbyihe Legislature *n 1862 at *7,849.224.68 Willi the assets of tue 8<f e and a taxable property of over $200,000,000.00 exclusive of Railnad, Banking, .-A, o„mn«D« 8 and Foreign Insurance Agendea, ourdebtcaif?-‘®a®Bypaid.

Even with our heavy losses of property, with a moderate tax. If favored with a few propitious seasons and good crops, by curtailing our expeditors# and adopting a oinking fund sufficient to pay the interest, and a small part of the principal annually, we can pay the State debt with out feeling tbe least pressure.

Every effort was made to ensure full and correct returns: but owing to tlie want of mail facilities, and the inexperience of Tax Receiver.-, f lee! that I have been partially successful. Aa re quired by law, every "Tax Digest" has been care, fully examined, and number of errors corrected, most of which being of minor importance, the actual a.turns have been affected not little. From some ae, which I am 0—">» *» discover, the "Tax Di- ts’* of Up —unties of McIntosh, Rebuu, aud Ware not been received, though several letters oi inquiry to tbe Receivers representing the aforesaid counties bars been received. Therefore, all of my estimates have been made independent of those coun ties, tbe returns of which would not have affected the general result but to a small extent, as they would nut have exceeded one milliou of dollars, in my opinion. Should our people be left undisturbed, an increase in tbe returns of the ensuing year over those of this may be confidently expected throughout tbe whole btate. STATISTICAL XABLSS. Accompanying this Report, are a number of tables giving tbe values of the different items of proparty, together with other items of interest, aa returned on the ‘’Digests” of 1660 and 1866, showing the increase or doer ease for each county, and ia the State, since 1860, of which the fallowing synopsis is given: Mr. Tuwer also offered ite following re solutions:, .. Whereas, since the laff session of tbe General Assembly unforeseen occurrences have transpired in the disptnaation ot an all wise Providence, in that be has parched oar fields and blighted our crops, aud the honest and never more honest effogsof the husband - man have been very unsuccessful; and where as, the people of the State iave been in great fear lest creditors should, w*h the strong arm of the law, seize the little pioperty remaining since the disastgys of tbe war; and whereas, further, this fear has cause! the people of many counties to assemble it relief meetings to give expression to their wishes and incli nations, and also to instruct their legislators in regard to their desires and necessities, which is eminently legitimate. Be it therefore Resolved, by the General Assembly, That the unfortunate condition ef the people is fully appreciated by their representatives. Resolved, secondly. That it is the sense of the Legislature that the rights and interests of both debtor and creditor shoald be equally pro tected, and that while the debtor should keep sacred his contracts, the creditor shoald not in the present impoverished condition of the country force to sell the property of poor but honest men, and earnestly recommend that both classes of citizens act in the spirit of the golden role, of “Doing to others as they would wish that others under eimiler circumstances should do to them.” Resolved, thirdly, That the General Aa- sombly mold MopMitfnlly point to th# ex ample of the Northern merchant, magnanim ously adjusting his claims with the Southern debtor, as worthy of tbe emulation of South ern people in compromising tbeir own and that such an equitable compromise ran be effected more satisfactorily by the debtors and creditors themselves than by legislative action. Resolved, fourthly, That we atill hare an abiding confidence in tne integrity of tbe people of tbe State of Georgia, and that they are determined to maintain unsullied their good name at home and abroad, if they am permitted so to do.
