We have, not. withstanding tho sickness, been signally favored by a kind Providence during the past year. Our ]>eoplo generally have been blessed almost beyond measure. Thcproductsnfthccarthhavcbecnun- precodented in quantity; and this business season opens with tlio brightest hopes. Tlte future is uncertain; hut the Hoard cannot doubt that the revenue of tlio Company will continue ample enough to pay ten per cent per annum on its stock, to pay its small funded debt, and to build and finish all the ware-houses on the line, the Town Passenger House and Bridge over the Canal, and all other work necessary to be done. The stockholders are now reaping a lair, and only a fair, reward for taking, in years past, their revenue to finish and i>erfcct their works, rath er than to distribute it in dividends, and create a large debt. Tlte Board remembers the liber ality of Ute shareholders, who went without div- dends for several years, and rgoicwi with them that the <lay of remuneration hxs arrived. It will l>c the pleasure of the Board, whilst the prosperity of the Company continues, to af ford to the 'public increased facilities. They this day nmko a concession to tho agricultural interest of Ute region tributary to their road.— The need of fertizilers for tho exhausted soils of the central portions of tlio State is seen and ac knowledged ; but, without cheapness of trans portation, it cannot lm expected that the Planters will use them to any large extent Hereafter Guano, and other manures, will be transported, by the car load, to all points on the li no of our road per ton of2,000lb. The South Western Raid, at $2 we are given to understand, will transport them to all points on its lino for $1 per ton. These low figures will not pay the expense of trans portation ; hut tho Company hopes to be com pensated by the enrriago of tlm increased pro ducts of the land, Tho plan of carrying man ures in large quantities to all points at the same uniform rate lias been adopted to placo tho agri culturists of every section on tho same footing. The published rate on manure by thelUO pounds, it is hoped, is low enough to encouragu those whose wants are small, but these rates will lie revised and reduced if the Board secs that such reduction will lead to a general and thorough system of manuring. The expenses attending the passage of goods through this city, destined for Northern ports on the one hand and for interior points on the other, have, of late, been greatly reduced through the instrumentality of this Company. The Com pany pays for salaries of officers engaged in the business offree foncarding, about ten thousand dollars annually. Ibis is a great saving to freighters, especially to our fellow citizens of the interior of Georgia, many of whom and whose representatives in tlte Legislature, without due consideration, taunt the Company with the cry is of ‘'monopoly.” In this free forwarding there much of the character of real monopoly—the confining of business to one channel and the few, to the injury of many; hut it meets no rebuko from our friends above who alone reap its wages. When the Company reaps tlte wages of a mon opoly granted for wise ends by the supreme power of the State, and without which never a mile of rail road could have been built, then the taunt is that the monopoly is sin, whose wages, as in the moral world, should be death. At Die next general annual, revision of rates, it is the intention of the Board to reduce the rate of transportation upward on way merchan dise. There is no town on the line of our road 100 miles injength. Planters and others in the country below Macon, procure their supplies of goods chiefly in Savannah: a moderate reduc tion will benefit the sellers here, whilst it will bring tlte rates for tho way consumers down nearer to the standard adopted for the through or far distant consumers. When the Company was poor and could not Ikiitow, it was compelled to take its earnings, to a large amount, to plaoo it, as to general' c- quipinent and apjxiintnicnts, in its present easy condition. Now. the Board, having tho power, nnd knowing well tho liberality of the stock holders, will do what it would have given them pleasure to do long ago if they had been able. Allusion was made, in the last annual report, to tlte subject of State aid to build new and cotn- IActing roads and the confident hope was ex pressed that the Legislature would not grant the aid sought for to build rival roads. The appli cants for State aid, were numerous, some of them even clamorous. But the Board takes great (duasurc in saying tliat tho Legislature refused to lend the State to any such scheme. The in justice of the demand towards the people of Geor gia, who have spent of their own means over $13,000,000 to build up the existing system, was too glaring, the danger to be apprehended from such a measure too apparent to admit much doubt as to the action of the representatives, of tho people. Again, at tlte present session of the Legislature, State aid was sought for a general new system of roads, and again tlio friends of this dangerous scheme were defeated. There was also a revival of the application for aid to a road from Macon to Brunswick, and in tho course of the debate thereon in the House of Rcprc sontatives, it was declared to lie the aim of some of the friends of the measure to get a road which would compel this Company to put down its rates of frieght Tlte application, fortunately, as wo conceive, even for tho City of Macon, was ttnsucessful. Georgia, wc have the best reason for saying, is not likely to introduce tlte plan of State aid, in any shape, to build new and rival lines, a plan which will exhibit its groat danger and its great injustice the more it is examined. The idea seems to have prevailed to a consider able extent, that the State, if secured beyond all doubt, might endorse the bonds of rail road corn- r ies to any extent without danger to public weal. \Vc think, however, that the idea is erroneous. Let it he admitted that, through personal responsibility of stockholders, fastened on their whole property as a mortgage or by other means, tlte State could not possibly lose by its endorsement, and yet it is plain that the public wealth might be alarmingly impaired by the trrant of the State's credit l(a l roads which G-EORG-IA Company, pitopmETons or State aid law would immediately promote. A road from West Point to th>- Macon ami _ — . —, ^ Western rn#d at Barncsville or Milner, and a jVlaStlC ROOI1112* road from rhotnaston to Geneva These two <3 lines would seriously injure the Atlanta ar.d "LaGrangc road and the (ieorgia road The air line line from Atlanta to Savannah River, and a road from Atlanta by McDonough, Jackson, Monticello. Eatonton and Milledgevfllc to tho Central road at Tcnnille.—These two lines would cripple the Georgia road and the Mact-n and Western road. * The Macon and Brunswick road which would injure the Central road and which itself would lead to a short road cutting the City of Macon off from Columbus, Albany, Fort Gaines and Eufaula, namely, a road from Fort Valley to the Macon and Brunswick road near Hawkins- villc. A road from Albany to Savannah which would interfere with the Main Trunk and South Wes tern roads and turn produce away from Ma con. A road front Griffin to the AUluuiia line in a direction to Decatur, Alabama, which would injure the LaGrangc road and the State’s own road It may thus be seen what dangers and diffi culties would probably, spring irom a general State aid law. There is scarce a limit to the call for State aid, if the first step he taken in that direction. The interposition of the State blunts private ef fort, until in the end the State Is compelled to advance, more nnd more, that its first contribu tion may be of any avail. As evidence of the correctness of this view, the Board would turn to the case of South Carolina and the Blue Ridge or Rabun Gap Company. Our State Is now well developed and being well developed Individual enterprize and effort will do all that may be necessary, the moment it is seen that the State has no disposition to grant aid or to lend its money. Respectfully submitted by order of tho I‘oil'd wl Directors. B. R. CUYLER, President. the grant of the _ ■ ■ do not pay are injurious lo the Public weal. capital, whether furnished by the State or indi viduals^ be buried without hope of return, tlte public wealth is lessened by the sum of thatcap- tal. Other interests agricultural mechanical, miscellaneous, have so much of the public means abstracted from them, and thus double injury is inflicted on the people. Rail roads which do not pay, will never be kept in order, and cannot for any length of time, he kept at all by thcong- nal owners. They may be sold undercxccution and thus come into the hands of new owners at so low a figure as to bo revi vetL and be remuner ating. But in such case the capital of the pro- octors is gone forever, and its flight iy tho tears of ruined iamilits. ■ " There Is something exciting in the idea of competition—of rivalry. In no department of the busy world is this excitement stronger than in the matter of .transporting men and goods, by means of rail roads. In many of our sister States experience has shown what evils spring from too great encouragement of fierce competi tion. The icncral blessings conferred by well con- ductctl railroads are seen,fell and acknowledged on every hand, and yet the road to ruin may lie as sure by the iron rad as by any other of the thousand*ways leading in tliat direction. Is it not enough to leave the means of such competi tion and excitement, to thosewvho desire to pro mote them ? Why should the State be embark ed in the strife V A general State aid bill would invite and encourage this rivalry and excite ment to the irrcparablo injury of thousands of her people,—of that portion of her people, too who by their enterprize and their private pecuniary moans first brought to the State her I rlorv, and, honorand power. Is there hero noth- ; nc due from the State to that people ♦ Is there, in the whirl of modem progress no space tn which they can be se#n oven for a moment y 5\ c believe Utat the majority of the Representatives in the General Assembly do consider and rega rd the men who havo contributed their tune there ■rgiesand their wealth to build up therail road system which so distinguishes the State and that they will not, by their legislation, encourage an excitement so dangerous, so ruinous. It is well however, to examine and see what rould lie done, and what probably would be don e, were tlio Legislature to pass* general State ant rail road law. Every on. will wtartftatti" rail road system might have been in several better than it is.

The sulistancc Is, that England is aliout consumma ting treaties with Honduras and Nicaragua un der which She will voluntarily renounce all claims to a protectorate over the Mosquito coast a-itl the Kuatan possessions. This will abolish all occasion or necessity for an abrogation of the Clayton-Bulwcr Convention. The special motive for the Into decided and vigorous efforts or the Administration against illegal coloniza tion by armed bands was the desire and deter mination not to interfere with these negotia tions. In the Senate, to-day. Senator Clingman at tempted, without success, to call up for consid eration his resolution for the abrogation of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. (senators Mason anti Shields opposed the con sideration, on the ground tliat it would inter fere with negotiations actually in progress, and would embarrass the Administration. The Sen ate adjourned until Monday.
