Also, the Western &, Atlantic Railroad, (value
nut to be put upon the same by the Comptroller
or Treasurer ) However the books of tins of
fice show, that this Road paid in the Treasury,

O0(); 1861. $438,000, le62, $440,000; le63,

Allot the above “ assets” may be considered
good, and almost at par in United States curren
cy, except the bank stock. But as no returns
have been made to this office by tbe banks for
the year 1866, there is no data upon which 1 can
make a correct estimate of its value. Consider
ing the large amount of State bouds held by the
banks, which were repudiated by the Convention,
together with losses in Con>ederate securities
and bonds, the estimate of assets in bank stock
must be at a low valuation. Tbe report ot D.
MacDonald, the able and efficient Treasurer of
the Atlantic & Gulf Railroad, shows, that the
people of Georgia, by whom most of the stock of
tiiis road is owned, have not lost faith in its ulti
mate success. The losses of the road during the
last two or three years have been very heavy, hut
by the good management and energy of its of
ficers, most of its tormer lines of communication
have been opened, and the road put in good run
ning order. Also, an important branch of thirty
miles has been built. < pening communications
with the richest portion of Florida, and with a
liue of Gulf steamers from New Orleans, thereby
connecting the East and the South-west. This
road has already added much to the real wealth
of the southern portion of Georgia, and doubt
less will be a great thoroughfare of travel between
New York and New Orleans. The further exten
sion of the road will be continued, and its early
completion to Alabama is now anticipated. A
sufficiency of the stock having been taken, as re
quired by law, the State has been called upon and
has paid her thirteenth installment, amounting to
$134,5110 U0; 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 loss
es sustained by the Western & Atlantic Railroad,
from tliu destruction of its track, rolling stock
bridges, depots, etc . by the Confederate and
United States armies, no revenue has been derived
from this source for tho fiscal 3 ear 1866. the road
having paid into the Treasury only $75,000 0",
and drawn therefrom $383,724 40. for completion
of repairs; showing a balance against the road
of $308,724 00. While the luture prosperity of
this road cannot be doubted, it seems to me that
there are no substantial grounos to justify the
estimate that the same amount of revenue can be
anticipated from this source as accrued to the
State prior to the late war. for at least one or two
years There is no doubt, however, that with
propitious seasons and a few abundant harvests,
the business ot the road, in the course of time,
will be increased, and as large, or larger monthly
net earnings declared than at any time heretofore
Other lines of railroads, which are destined to be
feeders of the Western & Atlantic Railroad, will,
it is confidently believed, be completed at an
early day, and add a new species of business, by
opening a ready market to the inexhaustible slate
quarries of the western portion of the State. We
have but to wait patiently the developments of
a few years to see our fondest hopes lully realized,
when this road will again become the chief ele
ment of tbe financial operations of the State.
Public Debt.
The following statement of the public debt of
the State, in bonds, has been kindly furnished by
Col. John Jones, 8tate Treasurer.
unimpaired, and her new brads, wbicb only a
few months since were selling at ninety cents,
are now bringing ninety-seven and » balf. and
will doubtless be at par in a short time. Even
with oar heavy losses of property, with a moder
ate tax, if favored with a few propitious seasons
and good crops, by cartailing our expenditures
and adopting a sinking fond sufficient to pay t^ie
interest, and a small part of the principal annual
ly, we can pay tbe State debt without feeling the
least pressure. Tbe financial affairs of Georgia
have been, and may still be so managed, as to
enable oar people to say “ that they pay a lighter
tax than those of any other State in the Union ”

to believe, not at a fair valuation ; but, considering
the unsettled condition of the coiuitry. and especially
the clia ge of labor from slave to free, I do not doubt
tliut, iu most instances, the peiople have made their
returns in good faith. Every effort was made to en
sure full and correct returns ; bnt, owing to the want
of mail facilities, and the inexperience of Tax Re
ceiver?,! feel that I have only been partially success
ful. A* required by law, every “Tax Digest” has
been carefully examined, and a number of errors cor
rected, most of which being of minor importance, the
actual returns have been affected but little. From
some cause, which I am unable to discover, the “Tax
Digests” of the counties of McIntosh, Rabun, and
Ware, have not been received. Though several let-
te. 8 of inquiry to the Receivers repiesenting the three
nforesa d counties have been written, no replies rela
tive to the matter have been received. Therefi
of my estimates, have been made indepeude
these counties, the returns of which would no
aficcted the general result but to a small
as they would not have exceeded one million of dol
lars, in my opinion. Should our people he left undis
turbed. nu increase in the returns of the ensuing year
over those of this may be be confidently expected
throughout the whole State.

Of the entire bonded debt of the State, amount
ing to $5,7(6,500 (It), $2,67(i,5(;0 00 is in old
bonds, the first of which fall due in 1868, aod an
nually thereafter up to 1872, iu such amounts as
render the payment quite easy. It would he well
to note that iu 1872, $721,5 0 00 of these bonds
fall due, and unless some arrangement is previ
ously made to meet this heavy demand, there will
be some trouble ; this being disposed of, our State
debt can be easily managed. Since, to meet this
debt, and to pay interest on the same, the State
has assets which may be safely estimated at $1,-
000,000 00. also the Western and Atlantic Rail
road, which for several years paid an interest of
over 6 per cent, into the Treasury on $7,000,-
000 00, and was valued by a committee appoint
ed by the Legislature in 1862 at $7,849,224 68,
with tbe assets of the State and a taxable property
of over $200 000,000 00, exclusive of Railroad,
Banking, Express Companies aud Foreign Insu
rance Agencies, onr debt can be easily paid. It
ia a cheering fact te know, that in tbe face of re
pudiation by the Convention of a large part of
tbe State's indebtedness, that bur credit is almost
$879,705 06
Showing & surplus of only $2,546 99
It wiQ thus be seen that only a small margin is left
for extra appropriations after the ordinary expendi
tures ot 1867 have been paid, and new sources of rev
enue should be opened before any such should be
made. Sound pohev dictates that the receipts and
disbursements .hould be so arranged as to enable the
Siate, instead of increasing, to reduce her indebtedness
annually. To do this, either strict economy will be
$828,802 00 1 necessary, or higher rates of taxation than heretofore
. mnnnt-! adopted, which, if possible, should be avoided until
the financial condition of tbe country becomes less em
barrassed than ot present, which will require at least
one or more good crops.

The citizens of this place and surrounding
country will please accept my profound thanks
for their kind patronage bestowed on me daring
the last year. I have now fitted np one of the
most extensive and complete establishments of
the kind South of New York, and have secured
the services of the best artist I could get at the
same city to assist me—so that I am thoroughly
prepared to fill every order in the Photographic
Art tlmt may be brought to the Gallery. One of
the greatest advantages of Photography is the
process of copying old Daguerreotypes, &c , into
photographs, large or small—tor this purpose I
have had new instruments made expressly, which
will enable me to give the most satisfactory re
sults m every particular.
AH persons visiting tbe city of Macon are invi
ted to visit my Gallery as they will find it a pleas
ant place to while away their leisure moments.
Respectfully.
