R. <£r B'king Vo.: For a detailed account of the operations of the road for the past year, you are referred to the rc ,, rt of the superintendent, and the tables and statements thereto annexed. It appears by the report of that officer, that the gross earnings of the road proper, for the year ending 31st March last, were $1,068,202 39 Charged with ordinary expenses... 517,852 24 Vett profit, deducting ordinary ex penses 1550,350 15 The financial condition of the company and the operations of the bank, will appear in the state ment of the Cashier. By this statement it will he seen that the gross earnings of this hank have been $108,441 f-2 Charged with interest on Bonds, Sala ries, Agents’ Commissions, Tax es, Ac., Ac 00,474 S 2 Nett from Bank earnings $38,967 Oo The income of the company from all sources uiav be stated thus : Uruss income from Road $1,068,202 39 , Cross income from Bank 108,441 82 j $1,176,644 21 Charged with ordinary road ex penses $517,852 24 Interest on bonds, salaries, taxes, commissions, Ac. 6'*,474 22 587,327 ('•) . Nett from all (sources $539,317 1' Charged with expenditures for new track, increased outtit, new depots, fencing, and other new works, specified in Superinten dent's report 192,000 9,1 1 reserved fund $396,066 22 Add reserved fund by last report. . 213,4:14 41 Balance, nett profits 31st March $629,110 01 H im this two dividends have been deducted, one of $1.50, the oth er $4 per share 311,700 00 Present reserved fund $317,411 01 As the construction account has been closed for vears. and all expenditures for new work, increas ed outfit, Ac., charged upon income, this is a tangible available surplus, and can be appropriat ed as the exigencies of the company may require. Though all expenditures for and on account of the •ad, are charged upon income, the superinten dent, to make his disbursements more intelligible, lias very properly separated the charges for ordi .arv expenses from those for new work and in reased outfit. A small portion of the extra ex penditures, may, perhaps, properly be placed to the renewal of stock, but they are mainly for new a L\ and objects adding to the permanent value f the property of the company. It will be perceived that the extra expenditures lave much exceeded the estimates of the superin tendent in his last year’s report. This, however, as resulted mainly from the fact that the expen ditures were extended To objects not embraced in the estimate. The ordinary expenses have also exceeded the estimate, and have been much higher than the iu eraased business may s»etn to justify. This is mainly attributed by the superintendent to the character of most of the increased freight, and the cunts from which it was derived. Alabama and Tennessee head of “Maintenance of Way,” is dearly accounted for by cotton pays a low freight, slid if may he doubted whether railroad iron and .'vain, at the rates then charged, paid more than e actual charges of transportation. Other rea ■ ms may be added, however, for the heavy expen -s of the past year. Ist. Tin mormons />ric< of provision*, and the Advance in the price of many ot the materials ed in working of railroads. With so large a oree employed, the advance in provisions alone vas a heavy item. The high price of provisions ..iduced an advance in many salaries, asjlhe super intendent did not deem it either just or expedient ’.■> require the service of employees, for a compen sation inadequate to their support. _d. A large portion of the locomotives belong ing to the Company were purchased on the com pletion of the road to Atlanta about ten yeats since. Like most southern Companies, ours was unprepared for the heavv wheat crop of last year, and the whole of these Engines, even to the third class, were called into service. Being mosth light, the trains had to be multiplied, and being id, very heavv repairs were constantly required, t» keep them in working order. Hence will he seen an increase in— Repairs of engines $17,995.61 Wood for Locomotives.. . 21,226.06 Engineers and firemen.. 15,466.64-—554,090.33 This large increase in only three items of ex pense connected with motive power, is accounted r, it is believed, principally front the above causes. id. The superstructure of the road beyond t Madison was made in 1843, ’44 and '45, and aboui ; '.trenty-five miles below Union Point were renewed ] ■n!y a few years later. Experience has shown • < that the timber on our line averages a duration of :ur or live years. Consequently, the timber on ; '•h«e portions of our road has reached a state of decay requiring a second retiethil, and a heavy in tease of timber and labor has been required the t -4 year for that purpose. Hence it will be seen that in Maintenance of •’•ay there is an increase in- , ' rpcrvisors and men’s wa ges, of $17,586.18 \ And in wooden rails and cross ties, of 1ti.63fi.54 —$34,522.73 , This large increase in only two 'items of expense aider the purchase of an "increased quantity of ;uiber, and the increased labor necessary to place in the road. The “loss aud damage’’ account was much in reased by the burning of one hundred and thirty- Sve bales cotton. It was hoped that the precau tions against tire had been made so perfect that no ■ ss would again occur bv the burning of this ■ ombustible article. The loss in question, how t-ver, happened at stations by the negligence of the watch, against which there can be no effectual precaution. The increase in the item for “stock tilled,” is also perhaps worthy of notice, as ex planatory of another charge for “fencing.” The encouragement to negligence and fraud given to Jtock-ratsers by high valuations has annually ■-welled this account, until it has reached a heavy Miui. Some relief mav be found by fencing, but against intentional and secret fraud, the Company can expect no relief whilst the railroad interest is | virtually outlawed, aud the present oppressive S’ .cv of the State continues. So far as the above reasons may account truly for the increase of expenses the past year, that iu ■reuse should be temporary. The price of provi - ns has already greatly declined, and that of i o.uer material may be expected to follow. Our in reused stock of more powerful and efficient lo- j motives should move an equal tonnage at a greatly- reduced expense, and the expenses in re ;'•'*» of road will diminish as the renewal of road yiid Madison progresses. This renewal will j , ’ oably be completed during the year 1857, and srt for the present high price of iron, it might he > -coined advisable to finish this tv or . at an earlier period. _ ■ ’■ ■•-• re is one feature in our pr rperty affecting the nation of nett proritt to gross /■•<■• ipts, perhaps of a more permanent character than the causes be ■“o enumerated. The Company owns about sixty -ies ..f branches laid with a plate rail. As inde -tent enterprises, these branches would perhaps - t be profitable ; for whilst the receipts are coni* 4-atively small, the expenses are very heavy —thus J i ’ii/regate expenses in proportion to gross Should the price of iron hereafter decline - Uit minimum of past years, it would doubtless ! '-true economyto lay the two principal branches '"■’a a light T rail upon cross ties. As the crop of the last year was an unusually one, and other lines in progress may some affect our travel, it would not be safe' to cal • ;••*’•' on a continuance of the large gross receipts nast year. As the expenses may be greatly however, it is not likely that the nett pro "-ill be reduced. It is believed, therefore! bv te Hoard, that with the aid of the reserved fund, i “ demands upon the Company may be promptly and a dividend of eight per cent, continued w the stockholders. the income of the Company is still seriously ar y -c by the want of profit on $368,000 Stock in ,!“’■?" roads. The Nashville and Chattanooga .;““• 11 }s believed, would have divided some por •■ - "f its pr fits the past year, but for the heavy fire* f f Com P an y sustained by the destruction by oi the expensive bridge over the Tennessee. The Directors are informed that some profit raav ! be expected from this stock at the close of the | present year. The Company finds some indemni- 1 tv for these losses to their income, in the regular - receipt of eight per cent, or near $40.1,000 of their other stocks; and the Atlanta and LaGrange Rail- 1 road stock ($310,000) readily commands a haud ; seme premium in the market, i , h will he perceived that the Bank has done a large and profitable business the past year, and as it is now in a condition of great strength it is hoped that it may hereafter continue to add con- i - siderably to our income. Ihe Board cannot close this Report without no- 1 tice of the recent death of an old and faithful ser- j i vant of ‘he Company, John F. Mims, late of At- J j lan,a - had been in the service of the Compa- 1 j n .'» ln different capacities, for twelve or fourteen I > ears g and U1 sever; J .'ears past, whilst acting as : ( met Superintendent of the Atlanta and LaGrange railroad, he was also the Bank of this Com panyat Atlanta. His integrity had almost passed j into proverb, and for judgment and ability as a j business man he had few equals, and perhaps no 1 superiors. Whilst as a citizen, his loss will befeit ! 1 :i!i J deplored by the community in which he lived; as an officer, it will be difficult for either,Companv to replace him. Respectfully submitted, JOHN P. KING, President. ) Additional per America. Boston, May 10.—The America arrived here j j about twelve o’clock to-day.

The proceedings of Parliament have been of in- I terest. Lord Derby had asked Lord Clarendon \ "hen he would lay on the table of the House of j . Lords the papers revive to the Central Ameri- j I can question, and also those regarding the enlist- I meat of soldiers in the United States. He said • the importance of the subject demanded that no j ! j time should be lost m giving full information to j both Houses. He charged that Lord Palmerston had repeatedly promised that there should be no j j delay, but no one was more ingenious than he in I 1 ; protracting the production of unpleasant corres pondence until it became impossible to discuss it. 1 1 Lord Clarendon, who was loudly cheered on his j 1 reappearance, replied that his first act on his re- j I turn was to lay ihe Central American papers on j 1 the table. He would have the enlistment docu- 1 ments ready in a few davs. t Lord Palmerston likewise had laid (lie Central < American correspondence on the table of the Commons, and said that the enlistment papers 1 would be ready in a few days. : Sir E. Bulwer replied, saying that on an early 1 day he would give notice 'of the exact terms of i 1 the resolution on American affairs. ; t Lord Lyndhurst gave notice that on aft early dav i t he would lay before the lords a report on the'stati of' Italy and its continued occupation by Austrian ! troops, thereby causing discontent, disturbing the 1 political equilibrium, and endangering the peace i ] of Europe. The Marquis of Clanricarde moved for a copy of ■ the consular correspondence respecting Austrian , interference in Parma. j The Earl of Clarendon said the newspapers ex- ; aggerated the condition of Parma—the battalion ! of the Austrians being merely called in to preserve ; j quiet. When Lord Lyndhurst’s motion came up , he would give further explanation. Lord Malmesbury stated that on Friday next lie ! j would bring forward his postponed motion ap- j .. plauding Gen. Williams for his defence of Kars, j hut de- luring that the fall of that fortress was ; . owing to the blunders of the British Government. ; j Other motions are before Parliament, bv Mr. 1 ( Otway, respecting torture in India; by Mr!

Dryssens’ commercial report, dated St. Petersburg, April 12th, warns speculators that there is hut little immediate demand for imports and not much produce at the ports for export, ex cept of grain, of which there is sufficient to keep freights high. The funds showed heaviness to-day, and the market closed at tin lowest point of the day, and ! i t<' % more than Thursday. The depression was mainly attributable to reports that a new govern meat loan will shortly lie announced; according t.<> rumor the amount of the loan will he ten millions sterling, in addition to a funding of five millions pounds in exchequer bills. The expectation that the bank returns would ex hibit a considerable decrease in the bullion, also assisted the prevailing tendency downward. The returns of the bank confirm the report ; the de crease in the stock of bullion being £1,099,245. The government balance is now very small, and affords countenance to the belief that another loan is near at hand. The London Sugar market shows an advance of 6d.@l shilling. A Gkobgia Axecuotk.

( At a called meeting, held this night, convened for the purpose of giving expresssion to the feel j tugs of this Lodge, on account of the death of our Grand Master, William C. Dawson, Grand Mas ter ot the Grand Lodge of Georgia, a committee, consisting of brethren John L. Lofton, Esq., Col. A. f-. Pope, and Dr. Z. B. Landrum, made the fol lowing report, which was unanimously adopted : | M hereas, the mournful intelligence has reached 1 us that our Grand Master, of the Grand Lodge of ! Georgia, \\ illiam C. Dawson, has been called in the Providence of God from time toeternity—forci iblv reminding us of the brevity of human life; and verifying the solemn truths of Inspiration, ! that “ man cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down; he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth | n °h” And, whereas, it is meet and proper that, as citizens and Masons, we express our appreciation of the deceased, as a statesman and brother, and testify our sorrow for his death. Be it therefore Ih solved. That in the death of Wm. C. Dawson I the State of Georgia lias lost one of its brightest ornaments—a Statesman whose clear and vigorous intellect has contributed to her prosperity at home, and her proud position abroad—a patriot, whose j devotion to his State and County, through a pro- I traded political career, which includes some of I the darkest hours in the history of the Union, was 1 ever steadfast and unshaken ; and a gentleman, whose kind and courtly manners, even in the fiercest conflicts of partisan warfare, never failed to i win the hearts of all who approached him. Resolved, That the Masonic Fraternity ofGeorgia lias lost a brother, who, whether as their Grand j Master, or as an humble member of the Brother : hood, illustrated the true principles of Masonry, ! in a life of benevolence and charity, and whose entil ing efforts in her behalf will ever be cherished j by every true Mason in affectionate remembrance, j Resolved, That we tender to the bereaved family of our deceased brother, our heartfelt condolence in their deep affliction. Resolved, That as a feeble token of our respect ' and admiration for our deceased Grand Master, that each member of this Lodge will wear the usual badge of mourning in their processions until the next regular communication of the Grand Lodge of the State, and that the jewels and furniture of the Lodge be clothed in mourning for the same time. Resolved,, That the above preamble and resolu tions be sent to the Chronicle k Sentinel, and Con stitutionalist, of Augusta, and the Masonic Jour nal and Signet, of Marietta, Ga., for publication, j and be transmitted to the family of the deceased , j and that the same be spread upon the minutes of j this Lodge. E. YOUNG, W. M. j C. C. Hammock, Secretary. From the Federal Union, May 13. Laying of the Corner Stone of the Main Structure of the Lunatic Asylum. The interesting ceremonies of laying the corner stone of this magnificent edifice and noble Puolic Charity, notwithstanding the exceeding inclemen cy of the day, drew together a large concourse of people from all parts of the country. The Masonic Fraternity, in appropriate Regalia, assembled in the Chapel of the Institution at 10 o’clock, A. M. j About 12 M., a procession was formed in front of the structure, headed by the Masonic Fraternity, and marched to the N. E. corner, where a stand had been erected for the occasion. After prayer by the Rev. Dr. Talmage, and singing by the Fra ternity, ihe Orator for the occasion, M. E. W. T. Gould, \\ . H. I’., arose and delivered one of the most finished and elegant addresses we have ever heard. The speaker briefly alluded h> j the occasion, the rapid growth of our coun- | try in science and art, and the calling and dig- i nity of the Masonic Order. He next proceeded j to consider the rise, progress and attainments of j Public Institutions for the deaf and dumb, and j the Blind. His remarks iu this connection were ! touchingly beautiful, and delivered with the most I emphatic earnestness, in the highest degree elo- | quent. He depicted in glowing language the gross abuses to which the deaf and dumb had for so long a time been subjected, and showed how much christianised and progressive civilization had ele vated them in the scale of rational and inoral beings. He stated that, as an illustration of the care now bestowed on this class of unfortunates, the deaf and dumb were now as well, if not better j educated than tiny portion of the people. lie re ferred also to the blind ; traced the history of those sightless objects of pity and public care, and showed how their interminable night had been ! made to shine with the rays of a new-horn dav, ■ by the reflected light of intelligence, and the mild 1 beams of moral culture. We have no language to ' express the beauty and classic elegance of this \ portion of the address. The speaker closed his address by referring to the “Mind Diseased.” He ! compared the wants of this latter class with those , of the deaf and dumb and blind, and paid a no- | ble and just tribute to the liberality, public spirit ! and beneficence of the Empire State, in rearing up I this magnificent and durable structure (the Luna- | tic Asylum) which would stand a monument to j her goodness and greatness, more durable than j brass, more precious than stone. We h ave but feebly followed the distinguished speaker in his address the reader can form no ! idea of its finished and classic elegance, its re- ; search, its power and its beauty, by this meagre j reference. .May we not lto]>e that the Masonic Fraternity of Georgia will solicit its publication, I and thus extend the sphere of its usefulness, and | appropriate to their organization the honor and j glory reflected upon it by the man, and the in- i telleetual offspring of iti.s beautiful aud cultivated mind? After the address closed, the stone was lowered to its resting place—examined with the plummet, \ square and the level, by Dep. Grand Master Win. 58. Rockwell, and pronounced by him to be comine \ il.feud. Copies of the Southern Recorder aud fed eral Uni it, of the date of the 6th, and the Wash- ; ington Union, of the date of May Ist, together i with a number of old coins, Ac., were deposited in 1 the stone, and the cap let down upon them, to I rest for untold ages. The corn of plenty, the wine j of refreshment, and the oil of joy, wore poured up- ! on it and a brief ceremony, with singing and , prayer, closed the exercises. A most elegant and bountiful collation, spread ' in the basement of the building, the individual of fering of Dr. Green, to the company present, was i next in order. To the good taste of Miss Martha j Crowder, the worthy -Matron of the Institution, j and the accomplished daughters of the resident I physician, the company present were indebted for ] the most admirable arrangements. It is greatly 1 to be regretted that a portion of the company left j before the collation, under the impression that the j invitation to partake of it was not general. We should not forget to sav that an entertain- ! nient was afforded the inmates of the Institution, j by the thoughtful and kind Matron, on the next j day. It would have pleased us to have seen that j affair, as it could not have been otherwise than in- > teresting. This noble Institution has now a corner stone, I whereon the superstructure will be rapidly carried j up. When completed, Georgia may well point to it with an honest pride, mid exclaim, thn is my jewel. MELL’S PATENT PLOW STOCK!

The receipts for the past two weeks, ending to j dates reported in our tables, have been about 55,000 j bales per week. This increase lias been attributed ; to the favorable condition of the rivers in the West, and likewise affords much confidence to those who look forward for the receipts to reach if not exceed 3,500,000 bales. Allowing that 200,000 bales of the ! old crop did not reach the markets or shipping points of the country last year, and that this cotton has been brought forward, the gross receipts will evidently reach and perhaps exceed 8,500,000 bales, unless the crop is more generally iti than most persons are disposed to admit. The late high wa ters in the Bigbie, Warrior and other rivers in Ala bama, will enable shippers to send out all the cot tons in that section, and it is not unlikely, in a few weeks, all will reach Mobile.

The Empire State of the South still ahead in her Jinpr&vemmts, TII IS article wi|f compare favora- bly with any of like character in the known world. l^fcwr'S I find that by putting it in the form ’jisfejr’ of a Soap it gives it a decided advan I SttH 8 tage over any Balnt, Salve, Liniment, or Ointment that can be made for the cure of dis eases herein enumerated ; it also prevents its vir tues from being impaired by age or climate, and renders it very convenient for use. Its action is prompt, and at the same time harm less, as it contains no mercurial or other prepara tion injurious to the patient. This article, there fore, being highly medicated, will cure Ulcers, Cuts, Flesh Wounds, Ring and Tetter Worm, Piles, Erysipelas, Scald Head, Itch, Nettle Rash, Salt Rheum, Chilblain, Prickly Heat, Scurvv, Sore Eyes, Bone Felons, Old Sores, Sore Nipples, Ac., extract, scurf and dandruff front the head, thereby preventing premature baldness. It is also one of the best remedies for Burns or Scalds, and will cure the Fistula and Scratches in horses ; extract tar, paint and grease from clothing, and is also a superior dentrifice to the teeth. FoUshaving soap, i( tortus a rich lather, softening the beard, and cluing such sores as may be on the face. L> the cure of all the enumerated diseases, and particular "id. sorts, this soap has proved a balm indeed, 1 y its wonderful healing powers. 1 can procure certificates innumerable were it necessary, but be!.“vine that a single cake is only requisite to prove its efficacy as above states!, and wishing to avoid everything like Immbuggerv, 1 leave it to those who will give it a fair trial, not doubting they will then declare this to be the tie plots ultra of the age in the healing art.

It allays the most intense pains in a few minutes, restores the synovial fluid or joint water, and thus cures stiff’joints ; it penetrates the flesh to the bone, relaxes contracted cords, cures rheu matism and palsied limbs of twenty years’ stand ing; also, tumors, swelled neck, enlargement of the glands, and is the best medicine for ailments of cattle ever discovered, curing sweeny, spavins, spliut, and all diseases which require an internal application. Sun Pains of ten. years' standing cured bp 11. G. , Farrell's Arabian Liniment. Mr. 11. G. Farrell - Lear So-: 1 had been af flicted with the “Sun Pain” for the last ten years, and could never get relief except by bleeding; but by the use of H. G. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment, applied over the temples about three or four times a day, it was entirely removed, and I have felt nothing of it since. 1 went into the stable one night, to apply it to a horse’s sore leg, and being very lame he stumbled and fell against my logs, crushing and bruising them so badly that they turned black as my hat, rendering them powerless. 1 applied your Liniment, and was well enough ina few days to go about again as usual. I also crushed my finger in a shocking maimer, by letting a back log fall upon it ; your Liniment soon healed it up, though. JOHN If. M’GEE. LaSalle Precinct, Peoria Co., 111., Feb. 6, 1849. [ Esq. Barker, of w Canton , 111., saps : 1 Mr. 11. G. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment has cured some bad eases here, which every other remedy had failed in ; one was a white swelling and con tracted cords in the leg of a boy twelve years old. The leg had withered away, and was so contracted that he had no use of it. Three doctors had tried their skill upon it in vain, and he n-as fast sinking to the grave, when the boy’s father was induced to try H. G. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment. Before the first bottle was used up, he came to Mr. ll.'s store, and the first words he said were, “ Mr. Barker, 1 want all that Liniment you have in the store; the one bottle 1 got did my bov more good than all that had ever been done before.” That boy is now well and hearty, and has free use of his legs. It is good for sprains, bruises, cuts, burns and swellings. Look out for Counterfeits I The public are cautioned against another coun terfeit, which has lately made its appearance, called W. B. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment, the most dan gerous of all the counterfeits, because bis having the name of Farrell, many will buy it in good faith, without the knowledge that a counterfeit ex ists, and they will perhaps only discover their error when the spurious mixture has wrought its evil effects.
