In investigating the condition of this Institution,
the Committee first turned their attention to the
financial state, at the close of the last fiscal year,
Octo!>er4th, 1856. The Book-keeper furnished

For the disbursement of the said sum of $56,-
411 42, vouchers were produced to the Committee.
The Committee then called on the Inspector to
show the disbursement of the sum of $42,473 49,
charged by the book keeper as paid to him. It ap
pears that W. B. S Carswell acted as inspector for
a time, and until the 26th January, 1856, when
W. H. J. G. Williams assumed the duties of that
office. Of the $12,478 49, the sum of $19,325 82
was charged to W. Carswell, and the sum of $35,-
147 67 was charged to Mr. Williams. Vouchers
were produced, as shown by Mr. Willirms, as In
spector for the disbursement of the $25,147 67.—
The Book-keeper acted instead of Mr. Cars
well, and in his behalf, produced vouchers
to the satisfaction of the Committee for the $17,-
325 82.
The Committee thus seeing the amount of re
ceipts and disbursements for the year, and
the balance of cash called for, to wit: $5,076 60
desired to know of what that cash balance consist
ed. They examined the cash book of the keeper
to the present day (Dec. 10. 1856) and found the
cash balance then called for to be $19,402 lti, and
they called on the book keeper to show that cash
balance. He exhibited it as follows to wit:
1 In sundry receipts for moneys paid in Inspec
tors Department, but not yet charg
ed
2. In cash receipts on the pay rolls of
all the 4 quarters of the year not
yet charged
3. Sundry receipts of monies paid to
officers Ac , not yet charged
4 In money on deposit in Milledge-
ville and Savannah, and money in
cash
$7,454 08
4,743 10 I
6.116 57 '
1,088 41
$19,402 16
The committee were informed by the book keep
er, that it was his practice, following his predeces
sors, not to charge Fay Rolls until all the monies
therein were paid—not to. charge tho disburse
ments iu Inspectors Department until the eud of
the quarter, and to charge advances to officers
Ac., on accounts of pay when they were paid in
full. From this arises the fact that what is called
a cash balance on the the Books is never an actual
money- balance. In illustration of this the Commit
tee have shown of what the present cash balance
consists. The committee reccomineud the aban
donment of this practice, and that hereafter charges
shall be made as payments on Trade, and that the
cash balance shall thus be always represented by
money in hand. At all events this should be done
at the end of the year preparatory to the annual
examination.
The Book-keeper also exhibited to the Commit
tee Ills account current with tho Penitentiary for
the last quarter of the year ending 4th Oct., 1856.
It appears that in addition to the cash balance
before mentioned, to wit: 5,076 61
The Book-keeper held assets viz: Man
ufactured articles and claims on
notes and sundry accounts amount
ing to 35,497 27
$40,573 88
The principal Keeper’s account current
from 1st October 1855 to 4th October 1856 was
also submitted to the committee, aud a coppy
thereofis annexed.

on the 4th October 1856 were as follows.

The system of cash sales recommended by
a former committee seems not to have been
adopted. This committee would again recommend
the system.
The number ot convicts in the Penitentiary on
the 4th day of October 1856, was 153.
It was recommended by the last committee that
tin’ locality of the Penitentiary buildings should
lie changed from Milledgeville to a more suitable
place. This recommendation grew out of the
present insecure aud mouldering state of the pres
ent buildings. The legislature deterred probably
by a consideration of the great expense of re
moval, declined to make any provision for the
change. It becomes absolutely necessary, if the
idea of removal is abandoned, to make provision
for enlarged accoinodatious at Milledgeville.—
This committee does not hesitate to say that the
present buildings are two much crowded—that the
accomodation of the convicts is insufficient—that
there is not ample security at night, iu the brick
walls which enclose the buildings, and that the
yard within the wails is entirely too limited in
extent. They would earnestly and most respect
fully reccommend the erection of a stone building
witii cells, of the character of the oue now exist
ing, in a line with the same, immediately adjoin
ing the Northern Brick wall, and that after the
same is built, the brick walls now in a mouldering
condition, be removed and that an entire new wall
be constructed so as to embrace an erea much lar
ger in extent. With this improvement, and a
general repair of all the buildings, the pres
ent locality might be made to answer for many
years.
The Committee considering the limited means
and accommodations afforded, thinks the affairs of
the Penitentiary have been condueted by the prin-
cipal Keeper in a proper and creditable manner.—
With more space and enlarged shops he could,
probably, have done better. It is believed by the
Committee that the Penitentiary, undqr liberal ap
propriation for the improvement’ indicated, may bi
made, therefore, an Institution capable at least of
paving its expenses.
Before closing this branch of their Report, the
Committee feel that they ought to express their
conviction that all the accounts of the Pen
itentiary could be kept by one officer. It could
be made his duty to make purchases of materials
and supplies, upon written request of the principal
Keeper.

THE WESTERN £ ATLANTIC KAIL ROAD-
The report of the Superintendent dated 20th
October, l~.'i6, and published, shows the operations
of this Road for the year ending 30th September
last.
The gross earnings were $871,366 53
Current Expenses were 380,668 85
Shewing net earnings, 490,698 68
The increase in earuings, for the year compared
with tbe preceding year, was :
In gross earnings $182,435 97
In net “ 61,650 45
The receipts of the Treasurer, for the year, were.
Balance on hand Oct. 1st. 1855, $64,337 68
Cash from that date to 30th Sept. 1816, 909,938 99
Total,
974,276 67
His disbursements amounted to $930,414 90,
and the balance of cash iu his hands on the 30th
September 1856 was 43,861 77.
The current year was begun with that balance
of cash • $43,861 77
And at that day the following
amounts were duo to tho
Road, viz:
From A’ts for earnings paid_
to past year ' $55,727 45
From Agents since, 40,377 31
“ Connecting roads 54,-

Bills receivable 889 83 112,748 54
186.610 31
Of the amount in former Agents hands, the sum
of $24,00(1 is considered bad. Suits are pending
against the former Agents and their securities for
the recovery of the money due by them, but the
committee apprehend the loss of three fourths of
the entire sum of $55,727 45.* The termination
of the pending suits can, alone, show the value of
this item of Assets.
The Treasurer. W. B. Wofford, Esq., produced
to the committee the entire cash balance called for
by his Books, iu the day of their investigation
(Dec. 22,1856,) showing, tiiereby, to the entire
satisfaction of the committee, that his balance,
30 Sept. 1«56, viz. $43,861 77 was in his hands in
cash on that day.
The account of the Road, in the various depart
ments, are well kept. The system, in practice, is
a good one.
A statement of the Bond debt of tho Road was
exhibited in the report of the Finance Committee
of December 1854. aud also in the Superinten
dent’s report of 1855 It appears that on October
1st, 1855, the amount of Bonds was $240,500 of
which $125,500 00 fell due in 1856. The remain
der fall due in 1853, 1859, I860, 1861, 1862 aud
1864. A registry of the Bonds, kept at the Super
intendent’s Office, shows the issue, thence, of
Bonds amounting to $125,500 00 fully due in
1856. The Governor as shown in the report of the
Finance Committee of December 1854 caused to
be issued Bonds amounting to $115,000 00.
Tbe Bonds due iu 1856. to the amount of $111,-
000 00 an>l, prior to this day, been paid, and tbe
sum of $14,500 00 is in the hands ot an Agent in
Charleston to pay the remainder when presented.
The outstanding Bonds, therefore, not yet provid
ed for, amount to $115,000 00 and fall due as fol
lows :
In 1858,
$10,000 00
“ 1859,

!i 1864,

The earnings of the Road for October and No
vember of the current year fall short of the cor
responding months of the last year, by the sum of
$9,731 37. There was charged, for extraordinary
expenses, to capital, ie. to cost of Road and Equip
ment in October and November of the current
year, the sum of $82,398 62. The cost of Road
and Equipment stands on the Books, on 1st De
cember 1856 at $5,6U0.235 10.
Tbe Equipment of tbo Road, at this time, con
sists of
49 Locomotive Engines,
3 ordered and to arrive,
52, and
635 cars of various kinds.
The Superintendent unites with the Committee,
in the opinion that the present number of Loco
motive Engines is ample. The number of cars
should be increased, during the current year by
the number of 50.
It is seen that no Bond debt is to be provided
for in the current year. There are suits pending
in Tennessee against the Road for alledged dam
ages. It is not in the power of the committee to
express any opinion as to the amount which may
be recovered in those suits, but the Superinten
dent expresses the opinion that it will be incon
siderable.
An examination of tbe annual report of the Su
perintendent for the past tour or five years will sat
isfy every one that the Road will continue, whilst
providing for its remaining debt, to yield to the
Treasury annually, a large sum of money. The
Committee has turned its attention to tho ascer-
ment of the probable sum which the Superinten-
tendent will pay to the State Treasury, during the
current year.
If we assume, as we think can, with propriety
be done, that the gross revenue of the Road for the
current year, will not fall short of the past year,
and, as we also think may properly be done, that
the ordinary current expense will exceed that of
last year $30,600 00, the net earnings of the year
to end on 30th September, 1857, will be $460,-
697 68. The cash receipts by the Treasurer, du
ring the current year, will not, considering the
dues to the Road, herein before detailed, fall short
of the sum of $950,000 00, including his said bal»
anee of $13,681 77. The probable drafts on that
sum of $950,000 00 will be as follows :
Current expenses of year to end 30
Sept. 1857,
Amount already charged to capital in
October and Nov. as before set
forth,
For Balances due on Engines, car
wheels, cars and other machinery,
and which will be charged to capi
tal in the current year,
For payment of existing contracts for
culvert and filling at Alatoona, for
filling at the Etowah River, for
buildings at Chattanooga, for work
at Pettis Creek, for buildings at
Dalton and at Cass and Tilton Sta
tions,
For 50 additional cars,
For Iron Rails,
$410,668 65
82,398 62
87,158 55
60,000 00
25.000 00
50.000 00
$715,226 02
If the sum of $715,226 02 be deducted, then,
from $950,000 00 it will appear that the Road
will yield to the Treasury, for surplus of tho year
to end 30th Sept. 1857, $234,773 98.
The Committee deeming it proper to make al
lowance for a greater expenditure than they nave
above estimated, express the opinion that $200,-
000 00 may be calculated on as a sum to be paid
from tin- Road into tbe Treasury, as a surplus of
the current year. The Superinteadent has, al
ready, begun payim-nts to the Treasury, on ac
count of the current year.
Your Committee have looked into the condition
of the Road and its equipment - The Road from
Atlanta to Chattanooga, 138 miles in length, is
laid with heavy T rail chiefly laid down within
live years, except 21 miles, (from the 36th to the
57th mile points) which are laid with light Bridge
or U Rail, and 31 miles between Tunnel Hill ar.d
Chattanooga, which are laid with a flange Rail.
The U. Rail has been down for ten or eleven years.
Both the T and U Rail, are laid on cross ties, in
number from 2400 to 2500 per mile. The flange
rail is laid on sawed pine stringers, resting on
cross-ties numbering the same per mile. The
Road is generally iu good, sound condition and
by the end of the current year, with the expendi
ture before indicated, will be as perfect as any
Read iu Georgia. It is calculated that $50,000 00
per annum, together with the value of rails taken
up. will relay ten miles of road. The relaying
should iu the judgment of the committee, be an
nually, of five miles now covered by the U Rail
and of five miles now covered by the flange Rail,
unless the U rail gives out sooner than ex
pected. The flange rail portion can be kept up
safely, longer than the Bridge rail portion, but con
sidering that the cost of the pine stringers is tlev
en dollars per thousand feet, board measure, and
that they do not last four years, if as long, it is
better to begin the relaying of it without delay.
It may be necessary by reason of the wear of Iron
to appropriate more than $50,000 00 per annum
~*Of"this amount but $1S,046 24 accrued since
(Joy. Johnson came into office, and ot that $8,-
222 42 is perfectly secured, and the balance will
be made so —Eds. Intelligencer.
