The financial condition of the Company is
I pod. We stall open the road without one dol-
litof floating debt. Its bonded debt being u
laodgjge Imnd, bearing 7 per cent, interest,
I principal and interest guaranteed by the
I feorgu Railroad on §G70.000, and $100,000 not
Stuwnietd, gives a total of $770,000. The
I inonu' of stock will be about — dollars.
It will become necessary to renew, or to re-
]kct with permanent embankment, the trestle-
vork which has ticen standing many years.
With this view, and to make a beginning, a long
urhfd culvert of twelve feet span has been
kilt under the highest trestle on the road, at
"Itct Branch,” preparatory to filling np the
trestle. Granite of the finest quality is found
neveuient throughout the wholo line; bnt the
work of building the proper culverts, all of
them arched and of filling, will be expensive. It
■art lie d.ine, however, before we can have a
good and safe roadway.
To facilitate the filling and to swo the ex-
r se and difficulty of procuring large gangs of
men, a strain excavator has been purchased,
tbich » dow in Charleston ready to be put to
vork This will not only reduce cost, bnt en-
ihle the trestlo to be filled in much qnicker
time.
Beport of earnings and expenditnres of the
Ktliou between Canmk and Milledgeville, as
made by the Georgia Iiailrotd, give the follow
ing results:
Inning- 859,410 SG
Oferating expenses..... 51,561 22
Set earnings $7,849 14
It is a question which mast be considered by
rot at this convention as to what disposition is
tobe mode of the road when completed. It
would seem to be onr 'best policy to continue
the control of the road in the hands of the Geor
gia Railroad, provided some good and equitable
imngeeaent could be effected with that com-
pwy for its working. We have bnt little roU-
isg stock, in the way of engines and cars, in
tii^n spoct being altogether dependent on the
Georgia Railroad.
An amalgamation of the capital stock of this
company into tbat of the Georgia Iiailroad, or
i lease of the road to that company on the plan
pursued by the Central Road towards its
branches, would unquestionably present the
eiaiest and best method of settlement, bnt as
the sense of the stockholders ,in the Georgia
Railroad cannot be reached until their annual
WnveLtion in May next, no definite arrangement
of tbat nature can ba made until that time.
There can be bnt little donht of >tbo value of
the road To secure its greatest efficiency it
must, however, bo .operated as one line, and
the trains be made up and run through between
Uacon and Augusta without change or defen
tion at Camak.
Oar route, as now completed, gives a gain of
S3 miles over the present mail route via At
lanta, and 41 miles over the lino via Milieu.
This can be further increased to a goin<ef five
wiles by building five miles of road from War-
rentun to the 41 mile post oc the Georgia Road.
This can be done at some future day when the
saving becomes more important. The total dis
tance, from Macon to Augusta is now 125 miles,
which can be made a« above stated, 120 miles
This reduction of two hours in the time of
(ravel mast attract and concentrate on onr road
travel between Augusta and Montgomery, which
sow parte at Augusta, going via Atlanta and
MilIen,'to meet again at Opelika.
By availing ourselves of the saving in time
and distance effected by this and other contem
plated roads, there is littlo question but that
the lines in interest in what is known as the
seaboard route can Boon be in a condition to
compete successfully for the travel which has
been lost to them for bo many years. It is
vithin the recollection of many here present
that the entire travel between New York and
New Orleans passed over the roads of this State.
Recently, however, the greater speed, safaty
and comfort of fhe Western rentes tin Louis
ville and Cincinnati, thongh more circuitous,
has diverted this great source of revenue. The
East Tennessee and Virginia Line has secured
a portion of it, bnt not to the same extent as
the Western routes.
The great Beeret lies in the fewer changes of
cars—in the greater speed of their trains, ob
tained not by faster running, bnt by avoidance
of unnecessary stops, in their laxnrious sleep
ing cars, snd by the general attention given to
the wants of a traveller. Through trains are
recognized as through trains, and the effort
wade to combine a way business with A through
Is never attempted.
I am induced to introduce these remarks,
w hich are scarcely pertinent to a report, as the
adoption of such a system wonld especially be
valuable to our line, which would gain largely
by the retnm of the former travel over the
Georgia road. We present the shortest lino, as
ihown, between Montgomery and Augusta, and
wust be on the great thoroughfare. In the lo
cation of the road an e-necial eye was had to
obtaining the straightest lino possible and easy
ttwves, regardless of cost The road bed is of
*4hd and gravel; the track is mostly laid with
* heavy T rail, with improved fish-bar faaten-
wg*, and we thus believe that we can offer to
“6 traveling public a road which, for speed and
y^tv, will be second to n -ns aonth of the Po-
Reapeetfully submitted,

BY TELEGRAPH.
THE EUROPEAN WAR.
The Stack Flag Raised
Bebun, October 4.—The Parisians having
ordered no prisoners to be taken because
they would consume supplies, the Prussian
commanders have been instructed to take no
prisoners.
All the villages around Metz have been de
stroyed by the late cannonade.
The navigation of the Baltic will doubtless
be safe before the steamers starting from
America arrive.
London, October 4.—Napoleon’s manifesto
published hero this morning, is undoubtedly
bogus. _ . .. i ; . '
Pabis, October 4.—Letters received to-day
say the Prussians threaten Point Dn Jour. A
bombardment of the city from the West is im
minent. The books of the great libraries have
been placed in cellars Watchmen are station
ed in the towers of Notre Dame to look out for
fires.
Touss, Oct. 4.—An encounter recently occur
red between a reconnoitering party of French
and a force of Germans north of Paris. No
particulars received.
The commandants of forts south of Paris re
port largo masses of Prussians passing west
ward toward Versailles on 26:h. On the same
day no Prussians were visible from the tower of
Vincennes.
Berlin, October 4.—A fuller synopsis of
Bismarck’s circular says Favre’s representation
of what passed at the interview may not have
been intentionally wrong. The conversation
was long and many questions were discussed.
Bismarck did say the new Moselle district will
be cordially protected, nnd including the arron-
dcssements of Siarbrucken, Chateau, Salens,
Saargeniund, Meiz and Theonvillo wonld be de
manded by Prussia; but he took pains to say
this might not be all the territory exacted.
Favre said Strasbourg was the key to the
House—not explaining whether tho German
or Freuch House. Favre, in previous corres
pondence, said he was willing to pay, as the
price of peace, all tho money France had, but
refused to listen to any territorial surrender.
Ho added that if such cession was an indispen
sable requirement of Prussian negotiation, it
was useless, as it involved France in dishonor.
Bismarck reminded Favre that they were terms
such as France had forcod on Italy and exacted
from Germany, even without previous war, and
that tho honor of Franco was not keener than
that of othor people. Favro declined to recog
nize the precedents, or see how little the honor
of Franca was concerned with the preservation
of the territorial thefts of LoDis XIV, or the
Republic, or the first Umpire. The question of
au armistice was only discussed at Ferrieres.
The statement, therefore, that I had refused an
armistice at tho preceding interview, is false.
It was agreed at Ferrieres that an armistice
would be possible if Franco would give the Prus
sians guarantees agaiost delay and against de
stroying the advantages of the position she had
earned in war. These guarantees included the
retention of fortresses on lines of communica
tions and the handing over of the fortifications
of Paris, pending negotiations, or olse com
manding tho fort near Paris. It wonld have
been impossible for Prussia to allow Paris free
intercourse with the oountry, as it might thus
have received supplies and reinforcements.
Favre refused the terms, bnt promised to con
sult bis colleagues in Paris. The programme
which he carried back included an armistice of
■fifteen or twenty days to permit the assembling
of the constituent' assembly5 the maintenance
of the lu'htary status before Paris, and the con
tinuation of bostilitias under oertain limitations,
and the surrender of Strasburg, Toni and
Biiscbe. Tho refusal of these terms must con
vince mankind that the French Government
believed their acceptance would prodace ptaoo
which was not desired by them.
Tours, October 4.—In Brittany the clergy
are taking active measures for the national de
fence. The same is the case in good part
throughout southern Franco. . The Government
is thus greatly strengthened, and tho disposition
to respect the rights of the clc-rgy is correspond
ingly renewed.
Acoounts from all parts of France show that
the sharp shooters ax's seriously annoying tho
enemy. Postal service continues very, irregu
lar and uncertain.

Mobiles.

shops, and the population taking refuge in cel-
Istb, were either suffocated or burned to death.
The Pope has made a new appeal to the King
of Prussia in favor of pcaco. Little faith is
placed in the authenticity of a long manifesto

ead printed in La Situation hero. From Ly
ons it is stated that Hazare, late Governor, has
been arrested for supineneBS and insubordina

that the Governmental Delegation will be sent
from here tobe est ablished in Lille in case of any
greater interruptions in the lines of communi
cation. No serious engagement has occurred
near Paris other than those already described.
The Government receives intelligence from
Paris with tolerable regularity. Daily journals
here notice the manifesto of Napoleon, lately
published in London.
The authorities have not yet been apprised
of the fact that the manifesto is most probably
a forgery. The reporter in the Gazette de
Franco says unfortunately for Bonapartists,
they publish their documents separately.
Rohner, addressing the Emperor on the morn
ing of the declaration of war, ■said, “Animated
by a calm hope in tho true force of the Empire,
yon know how to wait; but the past few years
you have perfected the armament of oar sol
diers and raised to the highest pitch the organi
zation of onr military forces. Thanks to your
care, sir. Frauoe is ready.”

pretend that Napoleon is not responsible for
this war.

“It wo3 stated a few years ago in a German
newspaper that three of the most beautiful
women of St. Petersburg were driven direct
from one of the Imperial bolls in their own car
riages, in aU their finery of satin and lace, to
the police station, and, after being mounted on
a man’s shoulders, with their dress tucked up,
wero smartly whipped with a birch rod.. Nc
explanation was given, bnt they were dismissed
with the significant caution to hold their tongues
in fatnre. At another Imperial party some
yonng ladies, who had been chatting too freely,
were politely esoorted by a maitre d’holel to a
distant apartment, where, being made to kneel
over an ottoman, they were severely smacked
by a female housekeeper, with their satin
slippers, and then sent home.”
The Prussian War Preparations —A dis-,
patch in the Herald from London, llniu, says:
Great military activity prevails in a 1 the mil

ent points near the frontier* v : -•ugir-cer
commission has left St. Peter.-.u. U rf -’ an

It is semi-officially' announced from St. Pe
tersburg to-day that the military preparations
of Rnssiahaveno reference to Turkey, but are
intended to seonre the interests of peace and
justice in Europe. This language excites great
uneasiness here, confirming as it does the ten
or of recent intelligence looking to the inter
vention of Rnssia in the Franco-German war.
A good looking white woman, abont thirty

band from me. If she was a nigger ’oman I
could stand it, but to have my husband stolen
by a white oman is too bad.” She pointed out
on the train her truant husband, who- was as
black as negroes are generally made. The wo
man waa said to be a “Yankee school inarm.”

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
m Conference, Baptist Church in Georgetown
September 18,1870.
Whereas, it has pleased God in his Providence to
remove from the scenes of earth to His Court in
Heaven, our venerable and beloved Brother James
Harrison, and while wo taw with humble eubmis
sion to His divine wil 1 , we deem it appropriate as a
Church to give some public expression of ourloBS
upon his death and to preserve somo memorial of
his life and character npon the records of this
Chuich;
Among the many virtues that adorned the char
acter of our beloved Brother, there is none that furn
ishes a moio pleasant and lasting solaoe to his fam
ily and friends than the earnest piety he exhibited
in bis walk and conversation as a Christian, and the
implicit faith and genuine and lamblike confidencs
he placed in his Savior’s dying love. Bat a few days
before his death, a verse waa found which was
transcribed in his tremulous handwriting, and was
accidentally dropped by him, which exemplified his
trust in his Saviour.
“In peace may I resign my breath,
” And tby salvation tee.
o | My eins deserve eternal death;
! Bat Jesus died for me.”
Brother Harrison was tarn in Wayne county,
North Carolinia, on the sixth day of April, 1787, and
removed with his father to Laurens connty in this
State at an early age. In January, 1811, he re
moved to the county of Twigge, where the better
part of his manhood was spent in the enjoyment of
the confidence and respect of the people of that
connty. He married in Febttuiy, 1807, a Miss
Temperance Brown, a lady of great moral worth,
with whom he lived happily for the period of thirty-
four yoars, when she w«a taken from his embraces
to her rest with the people of God.
He was baptised into the communion of the Bap
tist Church at Richland, Twiggs connty, in Septem
ber, 1831, by the Rev. O. A. Tharpe—removed to
this county in the fall of 1845, and placed his letter
with the church at liberty, whioh chuich waa subse
quently removed to this place, where his member'
ship remained to the period of bis death, which last
event occurred at his residence in this place on the
10th day of the present month, after a few days
illness and in the 84th year of his age.
He had passed by nearly'a. score of years, the
limit assigned by the Psalmist to human life. Yet,
old as he was, he had not outlived his usefulness
as a Christian or citizen. His energy had hut little
stated and hi* mimi and his heart were open to the
approaches of business ae well ae the more satisfy
ing i-slls of duty as a member of Chri it’s Church npon
earth. He waa the oldest member of this church;
wae long identified with it, end amid all Me vicissi
tudes and trials in its hoars of darkness and gloom,
he has stood the steady and unwavering nhampLwt
of our Holy Religion, end so far as human nature
was capable an bumble exemplar of Us preeepts and
doctrines.
