Q-SO: S-A.TTTIRZD.A.Y, X-AJSTTJ.AJEe/X' 5, 1861. HO. 4 FRIDAY MORNING, JAN. 5, 1801. 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. government 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, ' eleven in favor, to one ob- sent) the subscription was $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.

Prentiss as an Orator—Hi* Com mand over an Audience. .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, Jame^ Buchanan. Hon. John B.-Flovd. 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. 8now fell at Staunton, Va., to the depth of eighteen inches on Sunday last. 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. Artera&s War > Abraha i Hon.

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.
