Macon & Western Railroad.—The an
nual report of the President of this road, will
be found In another column. It presents the
same features of progressive prosperity thatlia 3
followed the labors of the present excellent
management. We commend the report to the
stockholders and the publie.

The Harriet Lane.—This
steamer, which has been creating so much sen
sation in thte latitude, from her reported move
ments, is still at Washington, with but little
present probability of a cruise to our southern
waters. It appears sac was intended sis the
custom house ol the new Charleston Collector,
Mr. Mclnttre, but the Senate having refused to
confirm the nomination—even the Republicans
being opposed to it, as stated in the despatch
copied from the Charleston Courier—she will
not be needed.
The same despatch, it will be seen, says the
orders to prepare the Brooklyn for sea have
been countermanded.-
State of the Country.
It would be difficult to imogine a more de'
plorable a.'vWinprotnlstUg/condition of affairs’,
than that which reigns throughout our unhappy
country at the present moment. As wc pre.
dieted some weeks ago, Congress 1ms proved
itself wholly unequal to the. task of pacificator
between the two sections. They have been
hammering away most diligently, through spe
cial committees lrom both houses, for many
weeks, and as j’et wc have seen no valuable
product of their labors. The country have
been progressing with daily accelerating speed
down the road to destruction, and we are not
sure but that the efforts at Washington ha9
hastened the movement. At any rate, we arc in
the midst of revolution, and so far as congres-
al interposition is concerned, we have no indi
cations that aught will occur to arrest the fi
nal catastrophe.
It is true—provided he is correctly reported—
that Mr. Douglas, one of the most sagacious
men of the country, predicts that all will be
quiet within the short space of “ten days but
is not the wish of the patriot the father to the
patriot’s thought ? To us it looks so. If there
be peace, why are all its manifestations hid
lrom the public eye ? Why is it that the day of
reconciliation Is postponed ? Why is the boon
held hack, while the fiamc of discord is spread
ing wider and wider and ready in every southern
State to break out in the horrors of a civil war;
until sovereign States for the purpose of self-
preservation, and in order to restrain the unau
thorized outbreaks of a wronged and indignant
peoplq, have been compelled to take possession
of the Federal forts and arm them to the teeth ?
The only reason we are not at this moment in
deadly strife is that there are no foes for us to
meet. A few hundred Federal troops, did they
attempt to land on southern soil without a
white flag in their hands, would precipitate the*
conflict.
There is no doubt about this being the real
condition of affairs, and yet more than half the
country seem utterly insensible to the fearful
reality. Fatal blindness.
Bo far as preseut indications go, the southern
States sec no hope of an amicable arrangement
that will justify them in continuing as mem
bers of the confederacy. Time is passing, even
frittered away in idle projects and debates.—
One State has already left the Union, and the
conventions of six others will convene within
the next twenty days. It were folly to suppose
that, mutters remaining as they are, these States
will not take immediate steps looking to an
early severing of the bonds that bind them to
the Union. Let the North believe it or not, it
is so, anu they will find that wc speak the
truth.
then is to be done, let it be done
forthwith, and before it shall be lorever too late.
Congress has refused to amend the Constitu
tion, in order to secure our rights, and we ex
pected no better at their hands. The only re
maining mode of changing that instrument is
through a National Convention, to be called by
Congress at the instance of two-tlilrds of the
Stales Here is now the last hope of the Amer
iean Union, and even that is likely,if it should
came to the rescue at all, to come too late.—
Verily, the skies look dark !

Balance of assets
Of the amounts reported doubtful and un
available in the Treasurer’s balance sheet, at
date of last report, I have succeeded in collect
ing the sum $11,139.83, consisting of $10,000,
due from the Thomaston and Barnesvlllc Rail
road, and $1,139.83, from the East Tennessee
and Virginia Railroad Company, with $1,807.10
interest on the two amounts. The remaining
sura of $13,213.23, consisting of balance due
from defaulting Agen s, which I explained in
my last report, aud which has been carried up
to this time in the Treasurer’s balance, I have
directed charged to profit and loss, to which ac
count any resulting proceeds will be credited.
By authority of the Board of Directors, in
February last, I also sold the 50 shares ol its
own stock, held by the Company, at the then
market price, 102. The premium $100.00 is in
cluded in the interest account; by this sale the
amount of Capital Stock issued was made to
balance the construction account.
The insurance, $0,100, on cotton burned in
November 1859, has been collected, and the
balance, $0,372.00, charged to profit and loss, as
shown by the foregoing statement.
The earnings and expenses of your Road,
have both considerably increased over those of
1859, leaving however, the net income slightly
in excess. The former sharing in the general
prosperity of the countrj*, till within the past
three months, during which, shipments of
Western produce have kept them nearly equal
to those of last year, while the latter necessari
ly increasing with the earnings, have also been
charged with certain extraordinary expenses,
which in the opinion of your resident Direc
tors, and iny own, were requisite lor the proper
transaction of the Company’s business. Which
are briefiv as follows:
The purchase of two Freight Engines to re
place two condemned. The building of two
Passenger Cars in the Repair Shops; and the
expenditures made in Macon and Atlanta, for
the freighting accommodations at the termini of
your Road.
These last improvements have been made at
considerable expense, and at this point, the
heavy produce business of the past three
months has clearly shown the absolute neces
sity of the step. In Atlanta the new transfer
ring tracks and yard room, have been tasked, to
properly accommodate this same downward
business. The new Freight House has been but
partially occupied, owing to the decreased
purchases of goods by the merchants, for the
Fall trade, byt bad they equalled those of the
Fall of 1859, and the Spring of the present year,
its capacity could have been fully tested. In
the Spring many of the goods forwarded lay in
the Cars for days, owing to the want of storage
room, and to prevent a recurrence of this, the
new house was begun in June, when the
growing crop promised fair to rival any yet
produced.
1 have been thus minute in stating the causes
of the increased expenditures, as those ^of the
past three j’ears have been, notwithstanding the
increased earnings, so similar in amount, that
it might be thought that they were limited in
perpetuity. Such can never be the case with
this or any other Rail Road, and although with
fair earnings this Road should continue to be,
as heretofore, remunerative to its Stockholders,
yet anv attempt to limit its expenditures must
inevitably decrease its permanent value.
The natare of the revenue of a Rail Road
Company, demands that the business offered
it shall be promptly and well done, and to ef
fect this object, ample and liberal equipments
are needed in every department. Extraordina
ry expenses arise which must be promptly met,
or the business passes into other channels not
easily to be re-gained.
It has been my desire, a3 well as that of the
Directors, who have participated in the man
agement, to have all renewals in the various
departments of the Road, made in as permanent
and thorough a manner as circumstances wonld
allow. This I am convinced Is true economy
in Rail Road management and, though tempo
rarily increasing the operating expenses, it yet
tends towards ultimate reduction.
By the report of the Superintendent, and
tables annexed, is shown in detail, the condi
tion of your property and expenditures on its
account. I can safely say that it fully equals, if
not exceeds in value the Capital Stock repre
senting it, and that any depreciation has been
covered by repairs and renewals.
Of the Law Suits, pending against the Com
pany, at date of last report, one has been de
cided adversely, for personal injuries, alleged to
have been received by a passenger in 1S55. The
verdict of $072.00, has been paid and included
in operating expenses; the costs have not yet
been returned. In the case of a house set lire
to by a passing Engine, the verdict against the
Company has again been reversed by the
Supreme Court, and the case scat back for
third trial.
Iu August I received a letter from R. R. Cuy-
ler, Esq., President of the Central Rail Road,
asking for a subscription by this Company of
j|5,000 to the Capital Slock of a new steam
be placed on the New York aud
* s -e, to which the Central and other
ads, had subscribed the sum of
ed it to your Board of Directors,

$6® 994.44 which was seized by some unauthorized person
or persons unknown to me, has,under the order
given by nie to Col. Lawton, now in command
of Fort Pulaski, to protect Government prop
erty against injury, been recaptured, and is now
aground near Fort Pulaski. You will please
send a revenue boat and take her into custody
to-night, and I will have her hauled off to-mor
row morning and delivered to you at such
place as you may designate. I *nmch regret
the lawless seizure of the vessel, and beg leave
to assure you that I shall from time to time
give such orders as will protect the Custom
House and other property belonging to the
Federal Government till the action of this State
is determined by the Convention of her people.

.The following auecdote of S. S. Prentiss is
from “Ten Years of a Preacher’s Life:” ^
i-The popular assembly was the place of his
proudest exhibitions. To the multitude he was
a trumpet. He said, “ Fellow-citizeus!” and
auribus ercctis, the people stood still, or sway
ed to and fro, or shouted, or were sad, smiled
or frowned at.-his magic will. He was invited,
just after the. adjournment of Congress, in the
summer of 1840, to address a mass meeting at
Havre de Grace, Maryland, and thus made his
bow to the audience : “Fellow-citizens! By the
Father of Waters at New Orleans. I have said,
fellow citizens—on the banks of the beautiful
Ohio, I have said, fellow-citizens—here I say,
fellow-citizens—and a thousand miles beyond
this, north, thanks be to God, I can still say,
fellow-citizens!” Thus, in a single sentence,
he saluted his audience, drew every man, wo
man and child near to him, made himself dear
to them; by a word covered the continent—
by a line mapped the United States from the
Gulf to the Lakes—bv a greeting, warm from
the heart, beaming from the countenance, de
picted tne whole country, its progress, devel
opments, grandeur, glory. Union. Every bat
was whirled In the air, every handkerchief was
waving; the welkin rung with hurrahs, the
multitude heaved up to the stand, stood on
tiptoe and shouted cheer after cheer, as if wild
wiili joy and inad with excitement.

Secretary Floyd.’* Resignation,
Following is the correspondence previously
alluded to as having passed between Secretary
Floyd and the President, on the occasion of tlie
resignation of the former:
SECRETARY FLOYD TO THE PRESIDENT.
War Department, Dec. 29, 1S60.
Sir : On the morning of the 27th inst, I read
the following paper to you in the presence of
the Cabinet :
Counsel Chamber, Executive Mansion.
Sib : It is evident now' from the action of the
Commander of Fort Moultrie, that the solemn
pledges of the Government have been violated
Ly Major Anderson. In my judgment but one
remedy is now left us by which to vindicate our
honor and prevent civil war. It is in vain now
to hope for confidence on the part of the people
of South Carolina in any further pledges as to
the action of the military. One remedy is left,
and that is to withdraw the garrison from the
harbor of Charleston altogether. I hope the
President will allow me to make that order at
once. This order, in my judgment, can aloue
prevent bloodshed and civil war. (Signed.)
John B. Flotd,
Secretary of War.
I then considered the honor of the -Adminis
tration pledged to maintain the troops in the
position they occupied, for such bad been the
assurance given to ihe gentlemen of South Caro
lina who had ft right to speak for her. South
Carolina, «n the other hand, gave reciprocal
pledges that no force should be brought by
them against the troops or against the property
of tlie United States. Tlie sole object of both
parties in these reciprocal pledges was topre
vent a collision aud the effusion of blood, in the
hope that some means might be found for a
E eaeeful accommodation of the existing trou-
les, the two Houses of Congress having both
raised Committees looking to that object. Thus
affairs stood until the action of Maj. Anderson
taken unfortunately while the Commissioners
were on th°>lr way "to this Capital on- a peaceful
mission looking to the avoidance of bloodshed,
has complicated matters in the existing man
Our refusal or even delay to place affairs
back as they stood under our agreement, invites
a collision and must inevitably inaugurahreivil
war. I cannot consent to be the agent' ot such
calamity. I deeply regret that I feel myself
undet the necessity of tendering to you my
resignation as Secretary of War, because I can
no longer hold it under my convictions of pa
triotism nor with honor, subjected as I am to a
violation of solemn pledges and plighted faith.
With tlie highest personal regard,
I am most truly yours,
John li. Floyd.
To His Excellency the President of the United
States.
TnE PRESIDENT’S REPLY.
Washington, Dec. 31, 1860.
My Dear Sir: I have received aud accepted
your resignation of the office of Secretary of.
War, and not wishing to impose upon you the
task of performing its mere routine duties,
which you have so kindly offered to do, I have
authorized Postinaster-General Holt to admin
ister the affairs of tlie Department until your
successor shall be appointed.
Yours, very respectfully,

The Jews and the Crisis.
The Jewish Messenger, of December 28, makes
a strong editorial appeal to the Jews in the Uni
ted States to observe the 4th proximo as a day
of prayer for the preservation of the Union.—
The following paragraph will afford the reader
a good idea of the whole :
As Isrcalities, we have still weightier induce
ments to join with our fellow-eitizens in ob
serving tlffc day of prayer. The Union, for
whose prosperity we ask Divine aid, has been
the source of happiness for our ancestors and
ourselves. Under the protection of the free
dom guarantied us by the Constitution,we have
lived In the enjoyment of full - and perfect
equality with our fellow-citizens; we are en -
abled to worship the Supreme according to
the dictates of conscience; we can maintain the
position to which-our abilities entitle us, with
out our religious opinions being an impediment
to advancement. This republic was the first to
recognize our claims to absolute equality with
men of whatever religious denomination. Here
wo can sit, “each under his vine and fig tree,
with none to make him afraid.” The perpetui
ty of the national existence of this republic
being imperiled, let us, then, right heartily join
with our fellow-citizens in observing Friday
next as a day of prayer and humiliation. Let
us assemble iu our respective synagogues, aud
pour fourth in unison our heartfelt supplica
tions, that the Almighty may restore harmony
and good will amoug all the people of this land,
and so govern the intellects of those in authori
ty that they may be inspired with wisdom to
secure a pacific settlement of whatever difficul
ties may exist in any section of the country.
Hajor Anderson’s Reply to tlie Charles
ton Authorities.
The Wilmington (N. C.) Herald says :
After Major Anderson removed to Fort Sum
ter, Gov. Pickens sent Col. Pettigrew and
Major Capers down to him with a dispatch.—
The Courier says his reply had not transpired,
but we lea an that a gentleman who arrived here
yesterday from Charleston says that Major An
derson received the above-named gentlemen
courteously, and stated to them that he had
acted upon his own responsibility, and for se
curity-—that he deprecated the necessity for it,
and hoped no attack would be made upon him—
that he should hate to turn his guns upon his
countrymen, but, unless commanded by the
Government of the United States, lie would
never surrender the post while he lived, aud
that if an attack was made upon him, lie hoped
jthe first shot fired at the fort would pierce his
peart. It is said he has one year’s provisions
in thefort^and over two hundred men.

IntereslingffVtctna from Washington.
From special correspondence Charleston Courier.
Washington, January 3.—It is now believed
that the confirmation of Mclntire’s nomination
to the Collectorship of the port of Charleston
is impossible, as all the Opposition, and even
some of the Republicans, will vote against it.
Mr. Crittenden, of Kentucky, in the Senate to
day introduced a series of resolutions, declaring
that provision should be made by law for tak-
ing immediately tiie sense of the people of the
conntry on the questions involving the perpe
tuity of the Union. Thev were laid over.
The Harriet Lane will leave under sealed con
ditional orders, but will not go to Charleston,
unless Mclntire’s nomination is confirmed.
The War Department lias detailed an army
officer to re-organize the Militia of the District
of Columbia, in view cf the impending troubles.
Russell’s bail was reduced to-day to $700,000.
He will probably be out to-morrow.
Senator Cameron, of Pennsylvania, says that
lie has accepted Mr. Lincoln's tender of the
Treasury Department.
The War Department has official returns
from the Comma der of Fort Sumter for the
month of December. He states that the Fort
is in every respect tenable, and there is no want
of water or food.
The President reiterates his views with refer
ence to the public property, as proclaimed in
his annual message, and says that lie not only
intends to collect the revenues and execute
the laws, but to defend the property of the Feder
al Government at all hazards.
The Navy department to-day countermanded
the orders for the steamer Brooklyn, lying at
Norfolk, to be ready to sail immediately.
The War department has countermanded
Governor Floyd’s order foMhc removal of the
guns from Pittsburg, Pa., to the South.
The President will positively send the Special
Message on Monday to the Senate, on the facts
presented for the consideration of ihe Union
by the developments of the past few days in
South Carolina. I have very good authority for
asserting that on the same day the President
also will issue a proclamation.
Mr, Douglas, of Illinois, delivered a great
speech in the Senate at a late hour to day. It
rather pleased the Secessionists. His friends
say that he denied the right of secession, but
opposed coercion, and advocated the enforce
ment of the laws only through the civil process.
When South Carolina had de facto a government
of her own, this Government could make war
and reclaim her, but not otherwise. _
Senator Toombs, of Georgia, will make a
fareweil speech, before leaving, in the Senate
on Monday. He will speak on the report of
the Committee of Thirteen, and will be very
severe on’the action of the Republican members
of that Committee.

“ Send in yer peii>hun by & by. I can’t pos

possible, sir.”
“ Mr. Linken, who do you spect I air ?” sez I.
“A orifice seeker, to be sure,” sed he.
“ Wall, sir,” sez I, “yom’s never more mis
taken in your life. You ain’t got a orifice I’d
have under no circumstances. I'm A Ward.

“ By giving the whole country a good sound

Nashville Female Academy*
FOUNDED 1S1G.
A FTER a rest of six months, on the 19th of Janua
ry, 1861, I resume mv position as Principal O'
this Institution, with which I have been connected foi
21 years.
The Academy offers some particular advantages,
among which, we think are the following :
1. A well enclosed Yard of about six acres, within
the incorporated limits of Nashville, thus affording Pu-
pHs unrestrained freedom in healthful recreation, and
still subjecung them to the restraints of a refined and
intelligent society.
2. Buildings in extent and suitableness, for all school
purposes, unequalled in the United States by any Fe
male School; and these surrounded by pavements and
corridors, offering constant inducements to children,
to breathe the fresh air, without regard to the weather.
8. Security from Fire. These buildings are heated
with steam and lignted by gas, and thus free the pa
rents of our pupils from at least one source of constant
anxiety about their children.
4. Health—unequalled l. any Female School in
this or any other country. Though one of the largest,
at d a part of the time tne largest, Boarding School in
the United States, yet but three deaths have occurred
among its pupils in nearly 45 years.
5. Non-Sectarian. It is well known to all acquaint
ed with the Academy, that a Baptist, Episcopalian.
Methodist, or Presbyterian, sends nis Daughter here,
perfectly satisfied, that in no respect will offence be
given to his peculiar views, and jet equally satisfied
that the principles of our common religion will be daily
mcnlcated.
6. Maternal Care. This expression excites no ex
pectation which is not fully met in the Academy. A
suitable number of ladies, of pitty and refinement, de
vote toeir entire time to the supervision of the expen
<*’•- the morals, habits and health of the Boarding Pu
pills. , L
vxuardians and parents, who for any cause, may pe
seeking a perma: ent educational home for little guns
we think, find such a home in the Academy. Apply to
