SANFORD, • Compounded entirely from (JUJUS, IS ONE OF THE BEST PURGATIVE AXDLIV- I- ER MEDICINES now before the public, that acts ils a Cuthnrtic, easier, milder, and more effectual than any other medicine known. It is not only a Cathartic, but a hirer remedy, acting first on the Liver to eject its morbid matter, than on the stomach nnd bowels to car ry off that matter,thus accomplishing two purposes effec tual!}’, without any of the painful feelings experience in the operations of most Cathartics. It strengthens the system nt the same time that it purges it; and when taken daily in moderate doses; will strengthen and build it up with unusual rapidity. The Iii ver is one of the! [principal regulators of the ely Qj dependent on the healthy the ri proper performance of its when the sfom- A ach is at fault, tiie bowels t, and the whole y system suffers in conse one organ—(he ■ Stiver—having ceased to do its duty. For the dis- H eases of that organ, one of the proprietors has made " it his study, in a practice of more than twenty years,”to find some remedy wherewith to counteract, ^ the many derangements to which it is liable. Lj. To prove that this rein- fT edv is at last found, any person troubled wit hfj iv- «*r C'om |>l:iin*. in any of its forms, has but to A tiy a bottle; and convic tion is certain. U These Gums remove* all , morbid or bad mat ter from the system, supplying in fn tlx ir place a healthy Hoy\ of bile, invigorating the V stomach, causing final to digest well, puriiyiiiw \\ tnc blood, giving tone and health ti» the whole.™:machinery, removing the cause of tin* disease—cf-K fei ting a radical cure.

J 1 One dose after eating is H sufficient to relieve the stomach and prevent tli* ^ f<H>d from rising aud sour- Ouly one dose taken be- fore letiring prevents XlOHTM ARE. gj Only one dose taken at E night, locsens the bowels gently, and cures Cos-™ tivkness. One dose taken after W each meal, will cure Dys- PEI'SIA. Hi izF* One dose of two. tcaspoousful will always relieve Sick Headache.^.

Ouedose taken a short Ul(time before catiug gives vigor to the appetite, and ^inmkes food digest well. One (lose often repeat-*A ed, cures2CHitoNic Diar- rh(ea in its worst forms, Vi while Summer and Bow el complaints yield al* ■ most to the first dose. One or two doses cures 6j;attacks caused by Worms in Children : there is no ".surer, safer, or speedier remedy in the world, as ii }y ' nrrrr fails.

For cale at this office GOVERNOR’S MESSAGE. Executive Dkpaki menu, J Milledgeville Nov*. 3rd 1858. ) Fellow citizens of the Senate and House of Rrprcsentatires: It affords me much pleasure to be able to state that the financial condition of the country is greatly im proved siuce the adjournment of your last session.— Previous to that time, the commercial crisis, aggrava ted by a general suspension of specie payment by the banks ot ninny of the States, including most of the banks of this State, attended l>y distrust and loss of confidence, had depressed t lie spirits of our people, nnd seriously affected all the great interests of our State. On the 22d day of December last, both branches of the General Assembly passed, by a constitutional ma- jority, without Executive suiction, on act entitled an act to provide against the forfeiture of the several bank charters in this State on account uf non-specie payment for n givenjiuic, and for other purposes there in mimed. This act made it the duty of the Governor to withhold proceedings under the act of lSiUfoithe forfeiture ot the charters of such banks in this State as had violated the law,and were inu state of suspension, until the 15th day of this present month, or uilthe hap pening of certain contingencies mentioned in the net In view, doubtless, of tli ■ great imposition practiced upon the people by the banks, in taking from them us ury under the name of exchange, and otherwise, the us ury laws of this State, so far (inapplicable to banks, were changed by the eighth and ninth sections of said act; by which it is made illegal for any bank or bank agen cy, by itself, its officers or agents, directly or indirectly to Joan money at a greater rate of interest than seven per cent per annum, aud at that rate only for a longer til* shorter time; or to discount or purchase nines, papers or evidences of debt at a greater discount than seven per cent per annum. Ami all notes, mils, a.-atts amt contracts of every sortwhatever, taken for money loan ed ntu greater rate of interest than seven per cent, as well os all notes, pupvis and evidences of debt discoun ted or purchased in violation of said act, are de clared to be utterly null and void, aud irrecoverable in law. The tenth section of the act regulates the percent which a bauk may receive for exchange, when its own bills are tendered at its counter in payment therefor, by a citizen of this State. The sections containing these provisions were doubt less inserted in the act lor the purpose of protecting the people against the usurious and exhnrbitunt exactions of the banks. And to prevent, as far as possible, vio lations of the act, in the particulars above referred to, it is enacted by the eleventh section, that, “The affida vit of bank officers to their annual and semi-annual re ports, shall, in all cases, state that the bank of which they are officers, has not, by itself, its officers or agents in any particular, violated the provisions of this act.”— And the twelfth section makes the offence perjury, should bank officers swear falsely in making their re ports. By requiring of bank officers the solemn guaranty of an oath, under heavy penal sanctions, that the law has not been violated by them, the Leg islature no doubt believed they had protected tiie peo ple against such illegal practices in future. Although I withheld my sanction from the act on ac count of other objectionable features in it, and on ac count of the doubts I entertained as to the constitution ality of portions of it, I have no doubt but that such portions of the act as prohibit the taking of usury by tin* banks and regulate the manner of making their an nual tiud semi-annual reports; which apply alike to all banks in the State, are both constitutional andexpedi-j ent. Entertaining these views, on the 1st day of June] last I issued my proclamation calling on the banks to ] make their returns according to law, and to comply with said eleventh section of the act of 22d December, 1857. As this art had been passed by the Legislature mainly for the relief of the suspended banks, and at the earnest solicitations of their friends, 1 had reason, in ! common with all law abiding citizens of the State, to j suppose that they would render cheerful obedience to all its requirements. It is with much regret, how ever, that 1 have to state to the Legislature that by far the greater number of the banks whose suspension had been thus legalized, and whose charters hud been so recently relieved from liability to forfeiture, in open violation of the statute passed for their relief, as well as all the batiks in the State which hud not suspended; either neglected or openly refused to obey the law, and make their returns is directed by the positive man date of the statute; thereby placing themselves in a position of detiauce to the constitutional authorities of the State. In this state of things I issued my proclamation as required by law. publishing the names of such delin quent hanks, and notifying the Treasurer of this state that their bills would not be received in payment of taxes, or of any debt due the State or the Central bank until they should comply with the Jaws and make their returns as directed by the statutes; and this they have hitherto neglected to do. It is evident, therefore, that the penalty of excluding their Dills now prescribed by law for a failure to make their returns, is notsuffieient to compel obedience to the requirements of the statutes. Doubtless some of the banks have made more by taking usury, and by disregarding in other respects the act of 22d December last, than they have lost by sufferin" (the present penalty for not making returns in accordance witii existing laws 1* or the purpose of compelling these corporations to yield obedience to the law in future; I respectfully rec ommend that tin* penalty for disobedience be increased and in addition to the penalty already prescribed, that a tax oftwo per cent u month upon the whole amonnt of the Capital stock mentioned in the charter of enehjdeliu- qnent bank, be levied and collected in gold and silver for the entire time during which any such bank may in future remain in a state of disobedience, and fail to make its returns as directed by the statutes. There can be no just reasons why wealthy corporations should be permitted at their pleasure to set tin* law at defiance while individuals are compelled to suffer rigorous pen alties for its violation. Tiie mandates of the law should be obeyed as promptly and implicitly by the moat influential and wealthy as by tiie poorest and most needy. This is republican equality, and our peo- ph* should be content with nothing less. Xo sooner had the act of 22d December, 1857. been passed, than the banks, forgetful of their promises to expand their circulation, to discount freely and relieve the country, refused to discount notes, however good, when offered to them in a legitimate Course of banking business, or to extend accommodations to any except perhaps to a favored few, such as cotton buyers and other speculators. Merchants and others compelled to have Northern exchange, were generally unable to ob tain it for less than three per cent. The price of cotton declined, and monetary distress became general throughout the State. The banks Ii iving thus abused the generous confi dence reposed in them by the Legislature, continued to enjoy tin* benefits of the suspension long after the banks of the great cities of the North and YVcst had re sumed specie payment, and until the just indignation of an injured people, expressed through the public press, by public meetings and otherwise became so prevalent that they felt compelled by fear of future consequences to retrace their steps, ana curtail the speculation they otherwise would have made out of the suspension.— They there fore prepared to resume on the 1st day of May last;thus admitting, by theirresumptinn six months in advance of the time fixed by the statute, that no such necessity as they represented to tiie Legislature ever did exist for the passage of the act. A gentleman of great ability and worth, who is at the head of one of the most important and influential banks in the State, in his report of May last, while apologizing for the suspen sion, and referring to the foot that the Legislature had given time till the 15th of November, says: “Our banks, impatient under the supposed odium of suspen sion, resolved to resume on the 1st of the present month,” (May.) It is a fair inference, therefore, that the banks would have continued the suspension till the time fixed by the act for them to resume; but for the pressure of public opinion, and their impatience “under the supposed odium of suspension.” Public opinion having thus compelled the banks to resume be fore the time fixed by the statute, and the crisis having passed we, as rational men, should learn wisdom by experience, and try to provide as far as possible against ubuses of their privileges by these corporations in future. I presume it will not be denied by any one, that we have erred by a too liberal and unguarded grant of corporate powers and privileges to moneyed monopo lies. And it is believed that a future extension ofthis policy would soon enable these monopolies to control the government of Georgia, nnd make the peple the subjects of their power. It is already claimed by some that they now havo the power, by Combinations and the free use of large sums of money to control the po litical conventions and elections ot our State, ana in this way to crush those who may have the independence to stand by the rights of the people in opposition to their aggressive power. I trust that the bold independent and patriotic people of Georgia may nev er b<* compelled to bow the neck in subjection to the yoke thus intended to be imposed by the corporate powers of the State. Let it not be forgotten however by those who have watched with anxietv the growing power of corporate influence that the price of republi can liberty is perpetual vigilance. The monetary and commercial affairs of tiie cuun try must necessarily remain subject to panics, under heavy pressures, and at certain, if not (re quent interval Is, as long as our present banking system is continued with its enormous powers and privileges, which have been enlarged aud exten ded by legislative enactments, chartering new banks from year to year charteringuew banks. The people should takethis subject into seri ous consideration, and pronounce upon it a calm and deliberate judgement" Every intel ligent person must admit that it is impos sible for a bank having a paper circulation three times as large as the amount of its specie, to redeem all its hills in specie on demand. Should all its bills he presented for payment at any one time, and the specie be demanded, it can then redeem but one third of them. In that ease, if the bank has sufficient assets, or property, the other two tltiids may possibly not he an ultimate loss but payment must be delayed tili tiie money can he realized by a disposition of those assets aud property, which may not be till the end of a lengthy and uncertain litigation. It is clear, therefore, that our present paper currency is not a currency convertible, at all times, into gold and silver upon presentation; aud tliaronly one third of it should payment be demanded on all at one time, can, in the nature ol tilings, he so couverti- tible, so long as tiie banks issue three dollars in paper for one in coin. In my judgment no paper currency is safe which is not so regulated as to be all times readily convertible into gold and silver. It is true our people, by a sort of common consent, receive tiie bills of the banks and use them as money, though in reality they rest upon no solid specie basis.— But sad experience has taught us that such circu lating medium subjects the country to panic at the first breath of distrust or suspicion, which may be produced by the failure of a single bauk having a large circulation and extensive connec tions with other banks, and may widen aud ex tend to tbe prostration of the credit of the whole country. Such a currency, having no solid specie basis, ca t he availablo only so long as the com munity will consent to receive promises to pay money ill place of money itself. The peoplo take from the banks their bills as money. The banks reciivo interest, nnd often ex change upon them. YY'lten required to redeem their bills in specie, they suspend, if they chooso to do so; and then, if an attempt is made to coerce payment in specie, they resist it holding a rod over the people by threatening to make them pay upon a specie basis the debts contracted by them for the bills of the banks; not withstanding those bills when they received them, rested on a basis of one third specie. The high prerogative of exercising banking privileges, .and issuing their own notes or Dills to be circulated as money, not resting upon any solid specie basis, is secured to the bauks unuere our present system of legislation ns an exclusive right, while the exercise of similar privileges upon like terms is denied to all individual citizens of the State by strength penal enacnicnts. The privilege of using their own notes as money, gives to the favored few* who enjoy it, immense advantages over their follow-citizens, and may often enable* the managers of these corpo- tarions to amass great wealth by tin ir high salaries and large profits. It may however be 1 said, that many of the stockholders are widows and orphans, that the stock is in the market for all, and that the dividends are not gn ater than the profits realized fiom other investments. This may be admitted. Indeed, it seems in practice, tube generally true that corporate privileges do not result so much to tho benefit of the mass >f stockholders as to the toncSt vt vlic few olio uuiiia-c tlw corporation. To estimate correctly the profits made out of the people by those engaged in banking, we must not only count the dividends of seven, eight or ten per cent distributed among the stockholders, but we must also take into the account the banking houses, real estate and other property purchased out of tiie profits of the bank and held by the cor poration. Besides, we should consider a reserved fund of two, three or four hundred thousand dol lars made up of accumulated profits, aud often kept back by our larger banks and not distributed among the stockholders, together with the high salaries of all the officers of the bank, which must be paid before any dividends are distributed.— These sums, though made out of the people by the banks, are not semianiiaily divided among tiie stockholders. To these add all sums paid to at torneys, agents, Ac., and all amounts lost by de faulting agents, which, while they cannot be set down as profits of the corporation, since neither its officers proper nor its stockholders are benefited thereby, are still snnis of money which, under the workings of the system, nre drawn by the cor poration from the pockets of the people. To all this add the large sums lost almost every year, on account of broken banks, whose bills arc left worthless in tiie hands of the people, who have paid full price for them as money. Aud take into the account the father fact that the State, in 1840, and 1849, issued $515.1)00 of her bonds to meet Iter liabilities on account of the Central Bank $240,000 of which are still outstanding. And that in 1855, the issued $40,500 of bonds to pay her indebtedness on account of the Darien bank, which are still unpaid, making $280,500 of bonds on account of these two banks which still remain a portion of the public debt, the interest of which is paid anually out of the taxes of tbe people— and we may form some estimate of the amounts which the people of Georgia have paid and con tinue to pay in taxes, and sufferin losses; to sustain the banking system. Again, in many instances, those who control the corporation may have great advantages in being able, if they choose, to obtain such accommoda tions as they may desire, by the use of its funds, when a favorable opportunity for speculation oc curs. The dividends paid to stockholders are therefore no proper criterion by which to judge of the advantages of the corporation to those who hold its offices, and control and manage its capital and its operations; or of the sums lost by the peo ple on account of the workings of the system. Thus far I have discussed this question upon the supposition that the liabilities do not exceed three dollars for every one of specie actually on hand in the banks to meet and satisfy them. This sup position is more favorable to many of the banks than facts will justify. The law of their charters only requires that their liabilities shall not exceed three dollars for every one of capital stock actually paid in, and not three dollars for every one of specie on hand to meet those liabilities. As an illustration of the error of our present legislation in incorporating hanks, suppose the amount of the capital stock of the bank be limited by tbe .j».*>im,imo which is 10 tie pula tn, 'u gold and silver, by the stockholders. The charter then provides that the liabilities of the bank shall at no time exceed three times the amount of the capital stock actually paul in. The stockholders pay in the $5(lft,(IOO, in gold and silver. The dir ectors of the bank may then, without any violation of the letter of the charter, incur liabilities against the bank to any amonnt that does not exceed $1,500,000; and that too, without any obliga tion on their part to keep in their vaults the $500,- 000 actually paid in ora like sum. If they should take out $400,000 of their specie and invest it in real estate or other property, leaving but $100,000 of specie in the vaults, they ntay still contract debts to the amount of a million and a half, and may point in triumph to the language of their charter, and to the tact that the $500,000 of capital stock was once actually paid in, as their authority for so doing. This bank legislation of our State docs not seem to have been well understood by our people. They have generally believed that our banks, by the letter of their charters, were required to have on hand at all times an amount of specie one third as large as the entire amount of their liabilities. The banks have understood the matter very different ly , and have not only claimed, but exercised the right when they regarded it their interest to ex tend their liabilities tai beyond three dollars for every one of specie actually on hand to meet those liabilities. By examination of their returns made to this Department in October, 1057, it will be seen that at the time of the late suspension of our banks in Augusta and Savannah, the liabilities of one of them for hills in circulation aud iudividual deposits, exceeded thirteen dollars for every one dol lar of both specie and bills of other banks which it then had on hand. Another had ouly one dollar in specie in its vaults for every fifteen dollars of its liabilities for bills in circulation and deposits. Another had not one dollar in specie for every semi of liability for bills in circulation and depos its; and another had only one dollar in specie for every eleven dollars of its liabilities of tho character mentioned above- It is true these banks had other assets, but those assets were not money. The question naturally suggests itself, how can such a currency he convertible into gold and sil ver—the money of the constitution—on demand or presentation? How can a bank with fifteen dol lars of cash liabilities for every one dollar in specie, orevenof five dollars for oue, pay its liabilities promptly on demand/ It is impossible And how can its bills be justly considered safe as a circulating medium, or as money, if it cannot redeem them promptly on demand! In consideration of all tbe imperfections aud abuses of our present banking system, I am of opinion that wo should do all in our power to bring about its complete reformation, and if this be not possible, wt* should abandon it entirely. I am the advocate of no harsh measure that would either violate the legal rights of the present cor porations, (however unwisely they were granted.) or that would bring distress upon the people, by a sudden return from a paper to a specie currency A reformation so radical, if attempted, must be the work of years. If the legislature would con tinually refuse to charter any new bank, or to enlarge the capital stock of, or recharter any bank now in existence, the system would gradually workitslf out by efflux of time; and we might, without any sudden shock, return safely to the currency of the constitution, plant ourselves upon a firm specie basis, and lid ourselves of a system against which the great and good men who con ducted the revolution and formed our constitution intended to guard their posterity, when they declared in tbe constitution that nothing but gold and silver coin should be made a legal tender. In two* of tho States of this Union banks are prohibited by constitutional provision; two others have no banks, aud another had but two small banks, whose charters, it is said, have been for feited by the late suspension. And I am informed upon what I consider reliable authority, that the late commercial pressure was comparatively but little felt within the limits of those States. Should our people determine, however, to con tinue the present banking system, and to charter new banks, increasing their number and thereby increasing their power in the State, I would re spectfully urtre the importance of guarding all charters ” with much greater stringency in the future. Let the charter of each provide that the entire liabilities of tiie hank shall, at no time, exceed three dollars for every one of specie actually in its vaults and bona tide the property of the banks on pain of immediate forfeiture. Let the simple fact of suspension of specie payment render the charter absolutely null and void. This would deter them from engaging in such wild specula tions and over issues as compel them to suspend in ease of pressure. Let provision also be made that all executions issued against the corporation may be levied upon the property of any stock holder until the creditor be satisfied, leaving the stockholder to his legal remedies against the rest of the stockholders to enforce contribution among ing a similar power, should its exercise be requir ed by the interests of the State or the public good. If.tho coiporation is unwilling to trust the people with this lcpealicg power, how much more should the people be unwilling to trust tho corporation without it. 0 , c Pr ° h ll ,itio * of small bills. Several of the State* have already passed laws prohibiting the emission by their banks of small bills. I once entertained doubts whether our Leg islature could do thi3 without a violation of tue chartered privileges of the banks; but on more ma ture reflection and careful examination, those doubts are entirely remofed from my mind. I therefore recommend the passage of a law prohib iting the emission of small bills by the banks of this State and forbidding, under heavy penalties, the circulation within this State of biilsof a like de nomination issued by banks of other States.— Such an act might prohibit tbe circulation of all bills of a denomination under ten dollars, after twelve months after the passage ot the act, and those of a denomination under twenty dollars in six montps thereafter, or at such other stated times as might be thought best, so as not to embarrass the business transactions of the country. The effect of such a law would be to cause small bills to be withdrawn from circulation, and as they must be redeemed by the hanks with specie, the specie would go iuto circulation in their stead. This would cause gold aud silver to take the place of bank bills in all the smaller business transac tions. The laborer would then receivo the price of his labor in gold nnd silver, the farmer of small means would generally receive the price of his produce in gold and silver, which would remain good however much bank bills might depreciate. Sub-treasury System. 1 also beg leave to call the attention of the Gen eral Assembly to the propriety of establishing by law, a system for our State similar to the Sub- treasury system of the United States, the wisdom of which has been fully demonstrated by the beneficial results of its practical operation. I earnestly recommend the adoption of such a sys tem. Let nil payments into the treasury, after a reasonable time to he fixed by tho Legislature, be made in gold and sil-cr, and let the State pay the interest upon her public debt, the salaries of her of ficers, the per diem of her Legislators, the money due the several cuantiee for seltool purposes, to gether with all her other liabilities, in gold and silver Of course the system should go into oper ation gradually This, in connection with tho prohibition of the circulation of small bills, would keep out of the banks and in circulation among the people a large amount of coin, placing the cur rency upon a much more solid specie basic, mak ing the people more independent of banks, and enabling them to withstand the shock with much less injury in case of a commercial crisis and bank suspension. It is belived that no serious inconvenience could result to tho tax payer from such a law, as the gold and silver paid into tho Treasury by those indebted to the State, would be returned by the State in the payment of her debts due to her creditors, and would again go into circu lation among the people. Should any incon venience bo apprehended in tho transportation of specie from the treasury to the creditor, provision might be made authorizing certificates of deposite to be issued, which might be paid to the creditor at his request in place of the coin. These certifi cates of deposit might be of such denomination as tbe Legislature may prescribe, handsomely en graved upon steel plates, which plates should be deposited in the Treasury for safe keeping. Each certificate might be signed by tho Treasurer and countersigned by tbe Secretary of State, with tho impression of the great seal of tho State stamped upon it, aud a register of the issue of each kept iu tbe Treasury to prevent counterfeit. These certificates might be made payable to the person to whom they first issued or to bearer. They would supply the place of bank bills so far as tbe con veniences of a paper currency are concerned, while they would be subject to none of the fluctuations of value and the uncertainties of bank bills. They would be taken at the option only of tho creditor in place i f gold and silver. Tito gold aud silver, dollar for dollar, wouiff, when they were in circulation, remain in the vaults of the Treasury to redeem them when returned to it. These certifi cates, thus predicated upon coin in the Treasury, dollar for dollar, would be receivable in payment of taxes or of any debt due the State. They would be a safe medium of exchange, and would, to the amount of their issue, be a paper currency at all times convertible into gold aud silver upon pre sentation at the Treasury. Each dollar of paper would have for its basis a dollar of specie in the Treasury, aud as the faith ot the State would be pledged for their redemption, it would be impos sible for any citizen to sustain loss upon them. They would be a currency at all times and under all circumstances of uniform par value. This would render the government of the State entirely independent of all banks and bank agencies, and would in a very great degree destroy the power of tbe bauks over the people, while it would give the people gold and silver change in all their small transactions, and a paper currency perfectly secure in many of their larger ones. The suggestions made by the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, (Mr. Cobb,) in his late report to Congress upon the subject of the ootiihlishment of a Sub-Treasury system by the States, similar to that of the United States, and the prohibition of the circulation of bank bills under the denomination of twenty dollars, are, in my judgment, founded in wisdom, and commend them selves to the serious consideration of the Legisla ture’ The State of Ohio has already shown her appreciation of the wisdom of these suggestions, by transferring much of their substance to her statute book, allowing sufficient time for the gradual inauguration of the system into practical operation. Western Sr Atlantic Rail Road. Fora statement of tiie present condition of the Wes tern it Atlantic Railroad, its operations and incomes for the fiscal year ending 30th September last. I beg leave to refer you fothc report of Dr. John YV. Lewis, its able and efficient Superintendent, who has shown himself to be a most vigilant, active and valuable pub lic servant. In passing this well merited compliment upon the faithful Superintendent, I would do injustice to Ins associate officers, and the other agents and em ployees of the Road, were I to full to express my en tire confidence in their integrity and business qualifi cations and to commend the zeal and energy with which they have exerted themselves for the success of the Road and the advance ment of the best interest of the State. For their efficiency, fidelity aud integrity they have my sincere thanks, and are in my opinion, entitled to the thanks of the whole people of Georgia. Owing to the commercial pressure and the conse quent stagnation of trade and business, the gross in comes of the Road during the present year, from freights nnd travel, have been less than they were for the previous year, which was one of unuaua! prosper ity. The low price of corn wheat and other kinds of grain during the present year, has, in a great degree, pre vented their shipment. Not only were the prices of wheat much lower than they were tlieycar previous but the quantity made in all' that section of country which supplies the Road with freight was much less. Merchants limited their purchases of goods to the limited demand for them in the country; lienee, the diminution of incomes to the Road on account of freights on merchandize. That portion of the Road track between Tunnel Hill and Chattanooga, (seven miles excepted) was in a very bad condition when Dr. Lewis took charge of the Road, and it haa required a great deal of costly repairs. A considerable portion of the track between those points has been taken up and thoroughly repaired, andsmall stones pounded iuto the earth under the new cross ties at several places where in wet weather the earth is so soft that the Road-bed could not otherwise be made fnm. Tins kind of repairs is quite expensive, but is be lieved to be cheapest in the end, as the track in these soft places will remain firm when once bedded in stone. The entire track is believed to be in better condition than it has been for several years, (a force of about three hundred hands having been employed in its re pair most of the summer) and all the rolling stock is in good order. Repairs have also been lately made at Al- atooua, Telit's Creek and the Tunnel. Since your last meeting one thousand tons of new T iron have been purchased, which has all been paid for since the 1st day of January last. This will lay aboa* eleven miles of the track with new heavy bar. Part of this iron has already been laid down upon the track, and the remainder, now being received, will soon bo laid down. Other new iron will be purchased as fast as it is needed. 11 is a matter of great importance that the Road be kept in gisid order. For this purpose it is proper that several miles of the track at different nlaces should be laid with new iron every year; otherwise the iron on a large portion of the track might wear out at tbe same time, requiring a very heavy outlay to replace it. I hold that no auiniuistralioii. for the purpose of paying money into the Treasury or otherwise, has a nght to let the Road run down. He who does it deserves to be condemned, and I am willing that my administra tion, so fur as the management of the Road is concern ed, shall be judged by this standard. According to the report of the Senate committee, the present Superintendent, when he| took charge of the Rond, 1st January last, was chargeable with aesetts amounting to about $57,324 15, due from connecting a balance in tbe Treas- Roadsand solvent agents, with i ury of $15,907 43. And he paid, according to the re port, from 1st January to 1st July the sutn of $157,773 23 to creditors of the Road, on account of indebtedness contracted prior to 1st January 1858, and had in the treasury of the Road 1st July ii balance of $35,01096, It will be seen the. efore, that the amount in tbe treasu ry was much smaller 1st January than it was 1st July; and that the amount of debts contracted by former ad ministrations of the Rond, and paid by the present Su perintendent, from 1st Jutmarv to 1st July, 1858, wau $100,449 1)8 larger than the amount of solvent assets turned over to him. The present Superintendent would seem therefore to be entitled to tiiis sum paid out of his net earnings as a cash credit In this sum is included the price of 400 tons of tho new iron above mentioned, which was ordered by the former Superin tendent prior to 1st January last, and has been paid for and laid down by the present Siqieriiitendent since that time: who has also, through the Treasurer of the Rond, paid info the Stutc treasury, commencing with the month of March last, $200,000.
