Georgiaßalroarl Convention. TUESDAY EVENING SESSION. We are indebted to the OonstitiUionalut for the following report of the proceed ings of yesterday afternoon : The Convention met, and Mr. Barnett, from the Committee on Proxies, in the absence of the Chairman. Mr. Hull, re ported that seventeen thousand seven hundred and fifteen shares of stock were represented by proxy—six thous and eight hundred and ninety-five in person, making the aggregate number j of shares represented in the Convention j twenty-four thousand six hundred and j ten. , j On motion, the report was received j and adopted. The President then announced that a j majority of the forty-one thousand five hundred and sixty shares of the stock j of the corporation was represented at j the meeting, and that the Convention , was ready to proceed to business. The annual reports of the officers of the Company were then read by the President. REPORT OP THE PRESIDENT AND DIRECTORS. ! The report of the Superintendent shows the gross earnings of the road for; the past year, and the statement of the I Cashier will exhibit the actual cash re i celpts of the company from all sources j for the same period. From these documents it will appear ] that the earnings of the company have been— From the Road $1,036,572 33 i Charged with ordinary operating expenses. 514,786 86 J 5*21,785 47 Charged also with new Track, new Buildings, &e 195,614 20 Nett from Road, tleducting all ex penditures ; $326,171 27 From Bank,lnterest, Discounts. 1> ; vidends on Stock, Premiums, Rents. &c $26,055 48 Charged with Salaries, Taxes, Int.

As the resouices of the company) iiave been affected by the financial diffi- i culties of the country, this work has not progressed as fast as was contemplated i and about twenty-five miles yet remain j to be done. It is not a work that is j pressing, however, and may progiess as the finances of the company will allow, j after the payment of reasonable divi dends. Although the expenditures have been j large, it will be perceived that the avail- j able surplus fund is not obscured by any j charges to construction, property, or on ; any other account whatever. Every ex- • penditure has been charged to profit and ; loss, and the surplus is a tangible cash resource at the disposition of the compa-» ny, and aiftounts to nearly eight and a half per cent, upon the capital stock. In : view, however, of the expediency of j strengthening the bank capital, and j making provision for the funded .debt, I the Board have not deemed it advisable , to divide to the stockholders the entire j surplus earnings, and pursuing this pol icy declared a dividend or. three per j cent, from the surplus, standing to the j cred : t of the company on the *Ust of. Marcn last. It may here be observed j that the company owes no funded debt ( incurred on account of its own enter- , prise. The entire funded debt is a bal ance of that incurred for assistance to other roads whose stocks and bonds aic ; still held by the company, amounting | to nearly nine hundred thousand dol- j iars, as will appear by the balance sheet appended to this report. Os the stock, three hundred and sixty-nine thousand j five hundred dollars remain improdue- j tive. The board had been led to expect some profit from both the Augusta and j Waynesboro’,” and “Nashville and) ChnUanooga ” roads during the present 1 year. But from recent advices they think this resource doubtful. This large amount of dead capital of course • bears heavily upon our income.. With j this incumbrance, however, the interest j account still shows a favorable balance, j It will be seen from the report of the : Superintendent, that there has been a decrease of gross income compared with j the receipts of the previous year, of j seventy-three thousand one hundred i and nine dollars and forty-two cents.— Os this, eleven thousand six hundred j and sixty d liars and nineteen cents is a decrease’ in passengers, and sixty-one j thousand four hundred and forty-nine j dollars and twenty-three cents is a de- j crease in freights. Even a much larger j loss on passengers and the transpoita- 1 lion of merchandise might have been l expected from the general causes winch have affected other roads; but the causes j of deficiency in the receipts of cotton, j are not so obvious. But for this defied- , ency, the amont of freight receipts for , the previous year would have been near ly or quite maintained. As the receipts of cotton since the 31st March, have been greatly in excess of the receipts for the same time last year, it is very evi dent that much of this deficiency is ow ing to a late season and comparative de lay in bringing the crop to market. — Whatever the cause of this deficiency, it seems to have extended to contiguous road?, for the Carolina and Central roads seem to have suffered even more than our own. In previous reports reference has been made to the progress of other roads which, when completed, would proha-j bly affect injuriously the business of ours The completion of the line of road from j Knoxville to Lynchburg will evidently , take from us a considerable travel from . points beyond Atlanta, and especially j from Nashville and Memphis. The traffic with East Tennessee will also be •omewhat affected by the completion of this line, but it is hoped to no very se rious extent. Should the gross income be reduced by this and other lines in progress, the company is fortunately in better condition to bear the loss than at I previous period. Tho expenses may be : greatly reduced. and with reduced gross receipts the nett income of former rears I perhaps fully maintained, The road is in a very thorough state of repair. Tire equipment is full and complete, and in excellent condition. The heavy extra ordinary expenditures of the past five years, are coming to a close, and the company owes nothing in any form which it. lias not convertable means to pay—leaving a handsome surplus, in dependent of the road and its appurten ances. In such position it is not serious ly apprehended by the Board that any probable reduction of gross receipts will hereafter interfere with satisfactory dividends, from the nett profits of the company. The hanking department of this com pany, with most of the other hanks of the State, suspended specie payments in October iast. This was very mortify ing to the Board, and the more so as the necessity was entirely unexpected. The institution had never been so strong as in the early part of the year, 1857. 80 much so, in fact, that at the last May convention, a serious eltort was made to instruct the Board to declare an extra dividend, as will be recollected by the stockholders. Banks, however, to an swer the purpose of their institution, have to issue their credits, and receive the credit of others in return. If these latter credits he based upon real con vertible values, they constitute a re source equivalent to specie, and often much better. Bank issues are not in excess when exchanged only for such credits as the prompt payment of the one liquidates the other. If, however, from any extraordinary revulsion in commercial aflairs, the debtors of the banks became unable !to pay them in paper, a main re source for tlie redemption of their issues jis cut off, and it can scarcely be expect ed, in a time of distrust and panic, that j they can pay promptly all their issues in specie, when their debtors are unable to pay them in paper. This was the condition of the principal banks in Geor gia, in October last. They had not over issued, but on tire contrary, their issues were rather contracted for that season of the year. With the usual .resources for the redemption of their issues, they | were amply supplied But by a sense less and unnecessary panic in New York —our commercial centre —all. or most of the banks North of us, from New York to Charleston included, suspended specie payments. Sterling due for past sales could not be sold. Bills on New York and other ports were not paid.— Corespondent hanks could not respond for specie balances, and at home the business paper of the merchant was not paid, because the planter could not (sell his cotton to liquidate his account (with the merchant. In short, the bus iness and credit of the country seemed j for a time completely prostrated and paralysed. Many of our hanks could doubtless | have continued payments in specie ; but they could only do so by ceasing to do business on their own issues—forcing their debtors to ruinous sacrifices—con -1 trading the currency, and bringing pressure and distress upon tho whole debtor class of the community. Under | these circumstances, what was needed j was time. Time for the planter to fell I Ids cotton and pay the merchant—time for tlie merchant to pay the hanks —not in specie, hut in their own paper—and time to the banks, to enable them to extend this time to the merchant, and ! the merchant to the planter—time to clear up mutual embarrassments from a common cause, and settle debts all around—notallinspecia, bu! by making one debt liquidate another, with specie I only for balances ; and, in tlie raean ; time, to enable the banks to issue their j bills to forward the present crop. Geor gia, and the adjoining States, taking this view of the subject, gave time un til November next. Our banks, impa i tieut under the supposed odium of sus pensions resolved to resume the Ist of j the present month. It is not the pur pose of the Board to discuss tlie policy lof this hasty resumption, whilst every ! adjoining Btate remains in suspension, ] and the present crop has not yet been | forwarded. ’Our banks are doubtless ful ly able to maintain the position they have assumed. There has been in fact !a virtual resumption for actual wants I for months. But whether our banks ' can furnish specie to the adjacent States | without any reciprocal obligation on | their part, and at tlie same time supply Sail legitimate demands for currency at | home, is not yet fully tested. It is cer ! tainly now their duty to do so to the full | extent of their ability. ; The bank lias not been considered as I very essential to the prosperity of the |lnstitution. It lias been mostly valued as a safe place of deposit, and for the convenience it affords to the operations !of the read, it tins generally had a good ! circulation, but this has been owing mainly to tlie operations of the road, land of connecting roads, and to the ve j ry high credit which the institution has enjoyed. With a capital of over four million of dollars, usually worth about I par in the market, with other converti ble effects, usually amounting to about i two million dollars, and the individual liability of a very large body of stock i holders which as a body possess great ! wealth, the bill-holder feels that the se jcuritj* is perfect and beyond all contin gency. Hence the bills have been hoard ied by prudent men to a great extent, j which accounts in some degree for the | large circulation the institution has | maintained in proportion to the .-mall banking capital actually employed.— j Certain it is, that no undue efforts have | been made to force out a large circula tion. We have had no foreign agencies | Our operations have been exclusively Gmr yian, and confined to the line of road, ] and tlie business operations connected with it. This high confidence, howev er, does not release the company from its obligations to the public, to furnish in its issues a currency at all times con vertible into specie—an obligation from which it can only he released by circum stances beyond its control. Currency as such, to be sure, is only useful in re presenting and exchanging commodi- I ties, and its value depends more upon ; its comparative quantity, than the ma | terial of which it is composed. But an i essential office of currency is its use as a : standard of value, and all experience ' has shown that a paper cannot he long j relied on for this purpose, unless it he I readily convertible. J Whatever may he the future business j prospects of the company, it is very sat isfactory to know that at no period in the history of the company have the road ;and equipments been so perfect, or in j such a high state of repair. Not an ac icident worthy of note has happened du ] ring the year,either to fright or passen ger trains, and so far as known to the | Board, the officers and employees con nected with the transportation and road I departments, have generally pet formed i their duties with commendable zeal and i fidelity. » John P.

Mi lug ax, Cashier, j On motion, the reports were received j L and adopted, and the usual number of t copies were ordered to be printed, for ' ’ distribution among the stockholders. I Upon motion of Alexander Pope, Sr., | 1 of Wilkes, it was resolved that the an *' nual reports of the officers of the Com- 1 pany should he prepared and distribu- j 1 ted among the stockholders ten days * before their meeting in convention, that! * they might be prepared with the infoi l mation which these reports contained, j t and which was necessary to enable j ' them to act intelligently, before they as-; 1 sembled in convention. 1 A resolution was introduced by the 1 same gentleman, instructing the Board s of Direction to declare a dividend of t four per cent, in lieu of the dividend } of three per cent, recently declared by ' the Board ni d payable yesterday. The resolution led to some discussion ' —the mover contending that from the j - exhibit made by the officers of the cor -1 poration, a larger dividend ought to 1 have been declared, and others concur-: 1 ring with him in this opinion ; whilst! 3 others urged that the President and Di- i l rectors had a common interest with the ! * stockholders, and better opportunities J to know what that interest required, in j i the matter of the declaration of the I } last semi-annual dividend. 1 The consideration of the resolution 1 was finally postponed upon motion of ' Hon. N. G. Foster, of Morgan, and | made the special order for this mt rning. Mr. Pope also introduced a resolution, I r authorising the President of the road to ■ employ a secret agent to collect infer- i > mation of the character, habits and as-1 ■ sociations of the employees of the road, j ■ and to .aid in the detection of the guilty j * parties, in all cases of mismanagement f or malfeasance upon the road. The con ■ sideration of this resolution was post poned until this morning. On motion, the Convention adjourn > ed to meet again at nine o’clock this 1 morning .

One or two doses are said to cure a cold with scarce a failure. It is worth a trial for this 1 alone. It is particularly adapted to the use of ; I ladies of sedentary habits.
