You will mi?s mo, some day, from your circle—
, You will call, but my lip* will be ntlll;
For the voice that now thrills you will slumber,
In the graveyard just over the hill.
You’ll remember, someday, how your fingers
Once twined through my glossy, brown hair ;
Ah ! the touch of you soft hand was tender
As the music of dreams on the air.
Seme day you will sit by the fireside,
And you'll look for my sad, quiet race :
And the hot tears will rain from your eyelids,
While I lie in my low resting-place.
Then the casket of memory unclasping,
O er its jewels fond fancy will play ;
When the grief-freighted soul bows in anguish,
You think oi my words—some day.
Thus the acid and wormwood of sorrow
Hums the chalice of lile into gall;
For the crushed heart there's no bright to
morrow—
And the green sod will cover us all.
Farewell! Shall my name be forgotten ?
Forgive, and think kindly of me ;
In tho beautiful land that is coming,
Some day, I will call, love, lor thee.

OUT OF THE W IMIOIY.
BY N. r.
Out ol tho window she leaned, ami laughed,
A girl’s laugh, idlo, and foolish, and sweet —
Foojish and Idle, it dropped like a call,
Into tho noisy, crowded street.
Up he glanced at the merry' face,
Who bad caught the laugh as It fluttered and
fell.
And eye to eye, for a moment, there
They held each other as if by a spell.
All in a moment, passing there,
Ami into her idle, empty day,
All in that moment, something new
Suddenly soerned to find Its way.
And through and through the clamorous hours,
That made his clamorous, busy day,
A girl’s laugh, Idle, and loolish, and sweet,
Into every bargain round Its way.
And through and through tho crowd of the street
At every window in passing by,
He looked a moment, and seemed to see
A pair of eyes like tho morning sky.

Tho foregoing statement that the net
earnings for the past year has not been
equal to the usual dividend, but inasmuch
as the deficit has occurred on the South
western Road, which was more seriously
affected than either of the other two by
the very short crop of 1871, and in view
of the fact that that Company brought a
very considerable sui’plus over and above
its dividend at tho time of its lease, the
Board has determined to declare tho usu
al semi-annual dividend of five dollars a
share, payable so soon as securities which
are held can bo made available, or when
ever the financial condition of the Com
pany from other sources will justify.
These securities consist in stocks and
bonds of the Savannah, Griffin and North
Alabama, and Southwestern Railroads,
received for advances to extend said roads
and for advances to other roads tributary
to tho main line. Tho company has also
paid matured bonds of the Southwestern
Railroad (which by the terms of the lease
of that road were to be paid by this com
pany). This last amount it is proposed to
refund by sale of our joint o bonds.
In the last annual report reference was
made to competition from other lines of
transportation which would bo likely to
seriously affect the interest of your com
pany, and tho amount of tho earnings for
the past year proves that the fears then
entertained by the board have been fully
realized. While it is true that tho falling
off in the receipts of the Central and
Southwestern Roods is to a considerable
extent duo to a very short crop, it must be
admitted that low rates for transportation
and a division of the business offering,
has contributed largely to the result.
The Board feels that it is unnecessary
to enlarge upon the injurious effect that
has resulted from the construction of com
peting lines in a section of country where
there is but a limited amount of business
to be had. They are, however, in exist
ence, and, being fixed capital, must con
tinue. if they are to Do maintained, the
production of the country must increase,
or higher rates for transportation must be
charged. That tho former will take place,
there is no immediate prospect, and while
all admit that we are working at too low
rates for the amount of business we have,
yet there is no one lino willing to incur
the odium of making an advance. It is,
however, bolieved that this cannot contin
ue for any considerable length of time, and
whenever there shall boa change, there
can be no doubt that yours will be among
the best paying stock in the country.
For a connection with tho city of New
York by sea since the war, the Company
has been dependent upon a contract with
private parties owning steamships. This
plan has been attended with many iucon
veuiences, and as the owners of ships
could not bo expected to continue in a
business without being fairly compensated
for the capital invested and the risk taken,
either by a subsidy or in the division of
rates on through business, the Board lias,
for some time, contemplated the purchase
of siniis whenever a favorable opportunity
should offer. In the month of March last,
Win. It. Garrison, Esq., of New York,
made a proposition to the Board to sell
six steamships to the Company. Four of
them were being run under a contract
with ns, the other two were owned by the
contracting parties as a reserve. The
proposition for the sale of tho ships was,
to receive throe hundred thousand dollars
in the bonds of the Company, at par, and
an obligation or bond for an additional
thi’ee hundred thousand dollars, condi
tioned that the interest ou it should be
equal to the dividends declared and paid
on three thousand shares of the capital
stock of the Company. This proposition,
after mature deliberation, was accepted
by the Board, and the six ships became
the property of the Company after the Ist
of May last. At the time of the purchase,
Mr. Garrison was constituted agent for
the Company to manage and control the
ships.
Accurate accounts of the ships to date
cannot now bo had, but for the purpose
of approximating to the result Mr. Garri
son has estimated their earnings and ex
penses, not yet positevly ascertained,
showing that the probable net earnings of
the ships, for the past seven months, has
been, in round numbers, seventy-five
thousand dollars. For more full particu
lars the Board bog to refer you to the re
port of Mr. Garrison.
By this it will be seen that tho ships
are not only self-sustaining, but that they
will yield a profit even at low rates and
laboring under disadvantageous circum
stances. Tho Board feels perfectly satis
fied that the purchase was judicious, and
that it has and will continue to benefit.,
not only tho road, liut the local business
of tho city.
Looking to tho maturity of the bonds
that were issued for rebuilding the Road,
as well as for the payment of bonds of
the Southwestern and Macon and West ern
Roads; and to provide for refunding
amounts that the Company has been called
upon to pay for extending the roads re
ferred to above; and for the purpose of
perfecting our connections with distant
points, it was seen that it would become
ne< ossary to issue bonds. Tho board
therefore procured the passage of an act
by the last Legislature, authorizing the
three Companies, Central, Southwestern,
and Macon and Western, to issue joint,
bonds to the extent of five millions of
dollars. Acting under this authority the
respective Boards have authorized the
issue of these bonds as the requirements
of the Companies demand. Three mil
lions have been executed, which are all
that it is proposed to issue at present; one
million of which are set apart for the
redemption of the bonds that will fail
due in 1875. It was expected that the
other two million could have been easily
placed at a figui'e approximating to tlieir
par value; but the recent stringency in
the money market has prevented their
negotiation at satisfactory rates, and the
Board has not. yet determined upon what
policy to adopt in reference thereto.
The Report and Balance Sheet from the
Cashier of the Bank will show the result
of its operations. Lack of capital has
materially curtailed the profits from this
source, and until that is supplied its busi
ness must continue circumscribed. The
agencies at Macon and Albany have proved
to lie a decided advantage in the transac- j
tion of the business of the Company.
The extension of the Southwestern j
Road to Blakely and the branch from Fort j
Valley to Perry, referred to in the last, re- ]
port, have not progressed as rapidly as !
was expected: but the track is now being |
laid upon both, and the citizens along the j
line will soon begin to avail themselves of j
their advantages. The Report of Yirgil j
Powers, Esq., Chief Engineer, will give
nil information in reference thereto.
Detailed statements of the business of
the throe roads will accompauy the report
of the General Superintendent of the
Central Railroad; also of the condition of
the road under his immediate charge.
The condition of the Southwestern and
Macon and Western Roads will be fully
shown by the reports of their respective
Superintendents. It will be seen that all
these roads call for a considerable amount
of new rails for the next twelve months.
Orders were given early in the year for
one thonsand tons of steel rails and six
teen hundred tons of iron rails, making
two thousand and six hundred tons, and
equal to about twenty-nine miles of track.
Os these one cargo of eight hundred tons
of iron rails are now being received. The
balance are on ship board and may be ex
pected within the next thirty days. Be
yond this supply orders wall be given as
the wants of the road demand.
Respectfully submitted,
Wm. M. Wadley, President.

KU-KLUX REVELATIONS.
Interview with a dying kuklux prisoner
JUST PARDONED OUT OF THEjALBANY PEN
ITENTIARY.
Washington, December 15. 1872.
Reuben G. Young, the Ku-Klux prison
er who lias been pardoned by the Presi
dent, arrived here to-day from the Albany
Penitentiary. Ho was on his way home
to Youngsvilie, Ala., but missed the rail
road connection, and had to stay over. He
will continue his journey to-morrow, if he
has strength enough to do so—for his life’s
lamp is flickering faintly, and will prob
ably give out before he can reach home.
Mr. Young was a man of property and
good social[|standing in the place named
aftor him. He has anjinteresting family,
consisting of a wife, four daughters and
two sons. One of the latter was tried on
the charge of being implicated in the Ku-
Klux outrages, and, like his father, sen
tenced to ten years’ imprisonment in the
Albany Penitentiary, where he is still con
fined. As soon as Mr. Young arrived a
member of Congress kindly took charge
of him. His clothing was too light and
scant to protect him from the bitter cold,
and ho has since been provided with an
overcoat and money to pay his traveling
expenses. The gentleman who has be
friended him conducted me to the cloak
room of the House of Representatives,
where I found Mr. Young asleeep on a so
fa. I did not wish to wake him, but stood
for two or three minutes in silent contem
plation of the feeble, emaciated form of
the poor old man, who has broken down
under the grievous burden inflicted upon
him.
He appeared to sleep in death. His face
liad a leaden, ghastly look, with wrinkles
deeply and rigidly set, as if void of sense
and motion. My companion touched him
lightly. Ho raised his head slowly and
cast a languid look toward mo. It seemed
to me the look of a galvanized corpse. He
was dressed in a suit of homespun. His
face was thin and ashy, with a three
weeks’ beard upon it; his eyes and cheeks
were sunken in, and thin gray hair strag
gled down upon his forehead
“Have you boon asleep, Mr. Young?”
I inquired.
“I have been trying to sleep, but I
cannot. I have not bail a night’i sleep for
many weeks.”
“What is tho cause of your sleepless
ness. ”
I have had a terrible cough. My lungs
are all gone ; ami thinking always of my
home and family, I could not sleep. I
was in pretty good health before they
took me to prison, but now, I fear, I shall
never recover from this.”
“ How did they treat you in prison ?”
“ All the officers treated me kindly ex
cept one overseer, wlio was harsh to me.
When I was too feeble to work I had to
remain in my cell, which was very cold.
I sometimes asked him to let mo go to the
stovo in tho corridor to warm myself, but
he refused. ‘ Don’t bo hard on an old
man,’ I would say; but still ho wouldn’t
let me go out. I was confined in the same
coll with my son Ringgold, who is still
there. He has to work in the shoe shop
from daylight till evening; but ho has
been in good health. Never missed a day
in the shoe shop. If it had not been for
him I should have been dead long before
Ho took good oavo of hig,”
Here tho old man’s thoughts rambled
away from the subject. He started out
on a long story about the other prisoners,
about the tobacco that was furnished him,
.bout the vegetable soup he had three
times a week. He dilated over the most
trivial details, and repeated them again
and again. Every now and then, when
he lost the thread of his narrative, he
would reiterate a word or a' sentence
three or four times successively, and then
break out in protestation of his innocence.
“You have never been concerned in
the Ku-Klux outrages ?” I inquired.
“No, sir, never. I have never been a
Ku-Klux nor have had anything to do with
the outrages. I never saw any Ku-Klux
but once, and then they came to me in
disguise at midnight. They took me out,
and when they had made me walk about
four hundred yards they asked me ‘liow
far off was tho graveyard.’ I replied
‘about four miles from my place.’ Then
they told me to go back and told mo to
behave myself. That is all I know about
the Ku-Klux.”
“Who had yon imprisoned ?”
“It was all tho work of a man named
Barnes. He is a lawyer. He hated me
and wanted to get me put out of the way.
For this purpose he went to John D.
Young, a Ku-Klux prisoner, now in the
Albany Penitentiary, but no relation of
mine, and asked him to turn State’s evi
dence against me, but John refused. The
next day he was arrested and tried, and,
like mo, sentenced to ten years. This
man Barnes was a United States Commis
sioner, and had unlimited power in my
county. He was on the grand jury which
found an indictment against me. They
wanted to convict somebody, and they se
lected me and my son, Ringgold T. Young.
There are now six Ku-Klux prisoners in
the Albany Penitentiary—three from Tal
lapoosa and three from Randolph county.
One of them, Charles Howard, is a perfect
idiot; another, named Blanks, is a boy.”
These remarks I elicited from the old
gentleman at lucid intervals, for at times
he talked so incoherently that it was
painfully evident he was ou the verge of
insanity. He showed me the pardon
granted by the President, for which he
expressed much gratitude, saying that
lie would like to see General Grant to
thank him personally. When I took
leave of Mr. Young he said, with the
old impulse of hospitality, that if I
should ever pass through Youngsvilie,
he would bo happy to entertain me.—
Poor man! It seems scarcely possible
that he will ever reach his home alive. He
is in the last stage of consumption—bodi
ly and mentally a complete wreck. It is
a singular decree of Providence that this
poor man should, after his return from
prison, rest his weary dying limbs in the
same House of Representatives which
framed the law that sent him to the Albany
Penitentiary ami laid him at death’s door.
Not the Man for Senator.
If Mr. Stephens has been correctly re
ported to us, by a gentleman who heard
his speech at Atlanta, Friday night, he is
certainly not the man the Georgia Legis
lature should send to Washington to repre
sent the people of this State in the United
States Senate.
According to our informant, Mr. Steph
ens said, in that speech, referring to
Louisiana, that Grant was right in sus
taining Judge Durell’s decision; which
decision, it will be remembered, over
threw the State Government of Louisiana
by Federal bayonets, and installed in
power the negro usurper, Pinchback.
Georgia cannot afford to send the sup
porter of such a monstrous policy to
represent her in the Senate. She will do
so at the hazard of her own State govern
ment, and of every attribute of soverign
ty that the oppressions and outrages of
the party in whose interests Judge Durell
and his master act have left her. —Macon
Telegraph, 22 d.
We think the Telegraph should have
waited, and made its comments not on
the reports of informants, but on the
speech of Mr. Stephens when published.
Here is what Mr. Stephens did say, as re
ported by the Atlanta Sun of the 22d :
I now return to the Louisiana troubles
aud tho reported interview between Judge
Campbell and President Grant yesterday.
This interview has given me light up m
the subject which I did not have before.
From this, it seems that General Grant
has not assumed any illegal or unconsti
tutional Executive power in the internal
affairs of Louisiana. He asserts he has
authorized the employment of the military
forces there only in the enforcement of
judicial process. This has greatly re-
lieved my mind. The trouble in Louisi
ana seems to have grown out of powers
claimed under the Civil Rights Bill, or
some other one of the reconstruction
measures, so-called. These measures, I
need not assure you, I hold, and ever shall
hold, to be utterly unconstitutional.
[Great applause.]
But in accordance with the views I
have given you, so long as they are
held to be laws, they should be obeyed,
as they are expounded by those clothed
with judicial powers over them. No
violent resistance should be made to
them—they should be assailed only
through the peaceful instrumentalities of
the Constitution. No earthly power could
ever make me say that they are either
right, just , or constitutional. [Loud ap
plause.] My mode of assailing them, how
ever, is not by violence or by forcible re
sistance, but by appeals, first to the courts;
just where the appeal, it seems in this
case, has been made. My mode of assail
ing is in the forum of Reason and Justice,
and if General Grant shall never do any
thing worse than to see to it, that the
mandates and decrees of Federal judicia
ry are properly executed in any part of
this country, I shall have no quarrel with
him. If the Judge in New Orleans has
made an erroneous decision it is subject
of reversal by the Supreme Court of the
United States. In the meantime, my ad
vice to the people of Louisiana would be
to patiently bear the ills incident to' that
decision, just as we in Georgia have borne
ills of a much more grievous nature, until
their redemption, as ours has been, shall
be effected by the peaceful workings of
the established instrumentalities of the
Constitution.
First, let tho issue be met in the courts,
below and above; if the decision should
be against them in both, then let them
appeal in the ballot-box, not only in
Louisiana but throughout all the States.
The aherations in the administration
of all free Governments, require
time for complete rectification. But
with patience, perseverance, virtue,
intelligence, and patriotism, ulti
mate rectification will be sure and certain.
This is the extent of my ultra, impracti
cable, extreme, Bourbon revolutionary
Democracy. [Applause.] It rests upon
the principle that wrongs can never be
righted by a voluntary sanction on the
part of a free people of notorious, gross,
flagitious and admitted usurpations of
power. The late elections were sufficient
proofs of this, if other evidence were
wanted. Upon what ground could any
Democrat in the late contest stand
on tho Cincinnati platform with any
hope of success against a Radical
competitor ? His mouth was closed
against raising a single complaint
against tho unconstitutionality of any of
these admitted usurpations. They were
to be received as finalities—as the accept
ed results of the war! —though they were
perpetrated since the war for the Union
was over—never again to be inquired into.
This was a virtual admission that their
opponents were right and they were
wrong in all fierce political struggles in
tho last six years. If this admission was
honest, they had but one course to pursue,
and that was in sack-cloth and ashes to
ask forgiveness for their error. If dis
honest, then it was but a trick and a ruso,
aud not dealing fairly by the people.
Pardon mo for thus again alluding to the
issues as presented by the leaders of the
Democracy in the late canvass. The idea
of electing a majority of Democrats to
Congress, on a Radical platform of prin
ciples, I trust will bo laid away and en
tombed forever among the dead issues,
and buried so deep that the hand of
resurrection can never reach it. [Great
applause.]
