The gcncrrl balance of the Treasurer, and l':o report of the General Snperinteudaut, • ’-rto appended, exhibit the condition of the Conipannj’d affairs, in their respective departments. The true position of the company in its f st imt-ortan? as pest seems not to be nn ’ J. liH road is commonly regarded 4i a t;ais ,ed work. In previous reports tins - xic > ha" been carfully sought to be '<"l. The At:antic & Gulf Railroad ' It has not been ' ' t cd to *,!.e Teinieius designed to be ** dby the wgirators of the scheme, as U :c. y indicated by its charter from s ta'e at:d on which the subscription ‘S. c and ut all the ordinal Stocks - rs«.f the Company were predicated. * character declares that the route of the * t :| greeted “with distinct refe* r '« to a speedy connection with the Gulf -b X’c ,at Pensacola or Mobile;** and tc»;a, that it was “the intenion of the ' of Georgia by this act, to provide a n trunk railway across her teritory, i c "-octing the Atlantic and the Gulf of *\ee.“ This intention, so emphatically | ared by the act of the Legislature in rt<- : ■>e to the main purpose of the pro r-of the enter prise, has been as em i ;y adopted, and as steadily pursued their successors. The administration . Company has regarded the cotnjfle'* ' c Road to Pensicola cr Mobile but prt erably the latter, as not merely essen - l ' * u true objects of the charter, but VOL- VI. as important to the ultimate prosperity of the Company. If any deviation from this leading purpose has occurred it has been temporary and with a view only to stren gthen the main line by lateral lines, by which it would be at once supported and protected. It was not until the close of 1870, that any pause in the progress of the main line was entertained and the expen-, ence of the year 1871 is sufficient to show that the Company should not rely exclu sively on its temporary local establish ment. Local improvements though sensi able, may be slow—slower still, because of calamities* Competition may be arrested to prove ouiy the luilof an ever-shifting strug gle* and so,, too, Ua& development -of new non-local business may be restrained by causes a? multifarious as they may be un expected. Under such conditions, and with an income not commensurate with the investments of the Company, and liable to fluctuations as uneontroiable as they-may not prove very successful, the soundest policy would look to an early resumption of the Westward progress of the Hoad and to its completion to its legitimate termin us* The Board of Directors, not any time un mindful of the importance of thisobjcct and pausing only for a favorable opportunity for action, have determined that the line should be extended so soon as the necessry means can. be obtained. Active measures have been taken to restore a restoration of the public lands in the State of A ahama, granted*to the Company, and of which it was dcpiived by limitation in 1867, and other measures will be adopted as soon as they may be authorized by the proper oc casion. It is now proposed to enter upon an elabo rate discussion of this important subject. Pei haps the value of the completion of Llio Atlantic & Gulf Railroad to theStade, to the city of Savannah, to theit cu-stockholders & to the country at large, is already sufficient'. !y manifest. But aside from the reasons al ready set forth of its importance to the Company, we may be permitted to suggest , that it may prove the most potent balance that can be established against the vast railway consolidation scheme which is pen etrating the Southwest with gigantic strides, and which has justly alarmed the whole- commercial railway inter sts of the South. Threatening to absorb the re sources of the Atlantic ports, and to dec apod their railways of the supplies of tran sportation, they must bring themselves by the shortest loulcs in contact with the great markets on the Gulf, and thus seek the tributes justly due togreat celerity aud cheapness of transportation. The value o* the commerce passing around the Florida Gapes was estimated, before the war, at $400,000,000. This must be greatly aug mented by the natural improvement of the Gulf States under the development of their railways and the increase of their popular lation and production, and if there is force in the prominent law of commerce aiid trade that they first seek the nearest available market. New Orleans the most conspicuous of these on the GulT, must continue to con centrate the largest share. To this point, s commanding system of railways brings a great volume of commerce to swell the pon derous burthen of the Mississippi and wil unite New Orleans with the J?onlh Pacific .Railway. It is to reach these grand ob jects that the completion of the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad is aimed, looking to es tablish tho shortest line of communication between tho Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico, to share in the vast commerce passing from one to the other, to carry into and across the vast territory of Georgia, to aid in de positing it in her owd seaports, and to give them a Recoml connection with the South * ern Pacific Railway, below the thirty second parallel. If these views arc cbimerial, it may fol-« low that the port of Savannah must surrender the extension of one of the stroug arms of her present progress and future attainment to anew power threate ning to sap the foundation of her Commer cial establishment. If on the contrary the project of the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad is susceptible of the development in its en tirety, with which sound reason seems to invest it, it is worthy of an energetic effort for its early consummation. Assuming New York as the objective poiut, the route via Mobile, Montgomery ami Atlanta, and the Richmond Air Line will be about 200 miles shorter than the route by the extension of the Atlantic' and Gulf Railroad via the Coast Roads, while the latter route beyond Savannah must therefore, depend on her advantages by sea to Northern and foreign ports, in conjunc- BAINBBIDOE GA., FEBCRART 24tb 1C72 tion with her possessing a short rail route between New Orleans, Mobile and the At lantic. Computing the distance between New Orleans and New York, by what is j known as the Richmond Air Lino at 1363 ! miles, the distance from New Orleans to Savannah would be 614 miles, and the freight * mileage from Savannah to New York by sea would be 200, making a total of 814 miles against 1363, and a difference of 449 miles in favor of the rail arid water route via Savannah. The time made on the latter would be nearly the same as on the former route in the transportation of freights, while the difference of cost must go to the advantage of the latter in the ratio Oi tne difference "of freight mileage, or nearly as 8 is to 14. To these conservative advantages, look* ing to the protection of existing interests and to their future promotion, should be ad ded others tending to open anew and invi ting path for immigration, locally and Westward, over a short line in a temperate latitude, to the development of a large local commerce now unknown, at or intermedi ately between the termini, and to the en largement of the concentrating and distrib uting power of these and of every point through which the line will pass. Submitting them as involving the high est interests of the Company, these proposi tions are laid before the stockholders and their co-operation respectfully invited to dromote the extension and the completion of the road to its originally projected terminus.
