Constitutionalist and Republic. BY JAMES GARDNER, JR. THE STATE ROAD. REPROT of Sub-Committee on Internal Im provements, on the Western ami Atlantic Rail Roar/. Jo Mr. Anderson, Chairman of the Committee of Internal Improvements:—ln accordance with n joint resolution to authorize the Committee on Iter nnl Improvements of the Senate and House of Representatives, to appoint a sub-committee from each of their bodies respectively, to form a joint committee to examine into the affairs of the Wes tern and Atlantic Railroad, Messrs. Farris and Tum liu wero|ielceted from the Senate, and Messrs. Fan nin, Perkins and Tilt from the House. After the organization of the joint committee, by the selection of Mr. Fannin as Chairman, Mr. Tift having declined to serve, the balance of the com mittee proceeded without delay to the Western and Atlantic Railroad, and entered upon tho discharge of their duties. We were fortunate in securing the services of Mr. L. E. Bleckley, the former Book keeper, whoso clerical ability and intimate acquain tance with the business aided us as much in onr labors. It could not be expected that the committee, in tho limited time allowed, could make an investiga tion so full and complete ns might be desired, but after a laborious and searching examination into thetmnnagement and business operations of that injtrtant work, ask leave to submit the following : The gross profits of the Road, for the last year, were from— Freights $183,371 59 Passengers 89,656 85 Mails 12,000 00 Total $285,028 44 Expenditures (settled) 204.022 25 Leaving SBI,OOO 19 Available for settlement of unadjusted claims and profits. For tho purpose of understanding the causes of the great expense of conducting the business ot the Road, we have collected the details for a period of twelve months, and classed each item of expendi ture under its proper head. This will be seen by reference to tables No. 1 and 2. Table No. 4 ex hibits the financial condition of the Road on the Hist Oct.. 1851. Other tables of interest are nppen ed lo this report The Committee was unable, ou account of the unsettled condition of the business of the road, to determine the exact amount of net earnings, but after aserutinizing investigation, we are forced to the conclusion that the expenditures due to the 1 last fiscal yoar, will lessen Mr. Mitchell’s estimate 1 of the amount of nonprofit-. This unfortunate result is mainly due to the in efficient management of the work, We have no evidence of fraud or corruption. On the contrary, ' we believe that there has been none, but our inves- 1 ligation has developed that tho management has 1 been loose and inefficient, and that the road is with- 1 out a proper equipment, either of cars or engines. 1 Tho management has been loose in permitting agency accounts to run without prompt settlements 1 (sco Table 11,) in delaying orders for spikes, c ross- 1 ties, Ac., which has compelled tho Engineers and Supervisors to use inferior materials, greatly to the detriment of the work. By the absence of the offi cers from their posts ; by the want of a correct ticket system, without which conductor is re sponsible only for tho amount of passage money he ' chooses to return ; other parties must share tho re- i sponsibiiity of this result, with the officers of tho ■ road. No sufficient excuse can be offered for delay in settlement of the agency accounts, or for neglec ting to'provide materials, tie necessity for which 1 was foreseen. The salaries of some of the officers are too low to secure the proper business qualifica tions, or to enable the incumbents to devote their ■ time exclusively to the business of the lioad. We should not bo too hasty, however, in con- j detuning the policy of tho past administration,for it is | a mooted question whether any direction could have , conducted the affairs, of this*Road profitably, with ! the acknowledged inadequacy of the equipment. I The legislature neglected to furnish the proper ap pliances for the successful prosecution of the busi ness, and upon them shoulq be fixed a lurge share of the responsibility. Taking into consideration all the causes which combined, tended to produce the unsatisfactory result of last year's operations, we earnestly recommend an appropriation sufficient to cover the estimates of tho Engineer’s and “a now system of management, fouuded in a wise and severe economy, and looking to an increaee of rev- . earn*, and diminution of expense as the only solid had 1 of a substantial and enduring prosperity. ” Tnu Committee concur with the Engineers, whose advice they had, in tho pressing necessity of repla cing the bridges and trestle work named below, with embankments, and also in tho additional in vta.uicnt for Cars and Locomotives. Mr. Hull, tho resident engineer, and Mr. L. P. Gant, whose name is so well known as a successful p 'actieal engineer, assisted the Committee in pre prring the following estimates : BRIDGES AND CULVERTS. Length. Hull. Grant. Wactstone 410 teet SIO,OOO #17,550 Arms 320 do 20,000 17,000 Vinin-s 484 do 4),000 4i,500 Et’wuh (t>art) 1,200 do 43,000 49, 00 Alatoona. ... 24,700 24,700 Chattahoochee, bal. 5,000 5,000 Trestle work above Dalton.6oo do 20,000 20,000 Totals about 3,500 feet 175,700 181,200-* 181,200 Relaying 50 miles track, Iron, spikes ; Clamps, Cross Ties and labor. 254,650 Add for balancing, and improved fastenings. 25,009 279,650 D» luet value of old flat bar 31,250 248,400 -4248,400 Chief Engineer’s esti- C^ c “ 3and Machine shop and Ma chinery 25,000 Car shop, Ac 10,000 1 New Passenger and : Freight Depots - o ’ ooo $689,000 ' BRIDGES. After examing the condition of every bridge, wo - ren »t them sale for the present, but the estimates . abo e are calculated to decrease the length of un necessary bridging about 3,500 feet, which must bo replaced."again if not embanked, in five years at far thest at a cost of about 50,000 dollars. j The embankment would add materially to the ; security of travel, and increase the nett profi ts of the road, as they are under the constant su pervision of watchmen, and are eoutinually needing ; extensive repairs. Mr. E. Denmead, the worthy j contractor, deserves great credit for his unremitting attention to this portion of the work, home of the piers of the bridges across the Chicamanga, were | founded on “Rip Rap,” and have been undermined by the current ; these should receive immediate at tention, before they sustain farthor damage; the work at Chattahooche amounts to 53,010 dollars, ot which #48,000 have been paid. The amount #lßl,- 2UU stated above as necessary for embanking the bridges, might not be provided for by immediate legislative action, but may remain a charge upon the revenue of the road, as the work is necessarily gradual: The result, however, is the same, as the State pays in either case. The condition of the road is not so bad as we expected to find. Active exertions have been made by Mr. Hull, the resident engineer, to prepare toe track for the winter's business, but not having the proper force and machinery at his command, he has still much to do. With the exceptions ot the forty miles of flat bar, the track is in fair order. The iron for relaying this portion ot Road is now in Savannah, and should be laid down as soon u? practicable. Tbo cross ties in use and on deli\ erv, are very inferior, and only those ol lull size and post oak or chesnut timber, should be used u Jie new track. The estimate for replacing ■ilm if Cat bar. ! including the 10 miles already down, after deduc ting the value of old iron, dollars. Gov. Towns and Mr. Mitchell ordered the iron for this portion of the road. Some of it is already laid, and the balance will be received as rapidly as it can be used. Tu keep the track in proper order, it is positively essential to keep the road bed well ditched : a good ft*rce with a ditching train, would be the most effec tual means, as this force and train, could be made to ! subserve many other valuable purposes; such as ! ballasting wet cuts, transporting wood and matori- j als for repair of track Ac. Tht* Road should by all means, be provided with j necessary shops to repair its own Engines and Cars, j and be prepared when there were no repairs on ! hand, to build cars for their own use. EQt'IPMKNT. By reference to the report of Mr. Mitchell, it. will , bo seen that he supposes the sum of $204,400 ncc- j cssary to equip the Road with Engines and Cars ! sufficient to perform its business. Ho has contrneed j for a largo number of Cars, and for six Engines, j Some of tho Cars are delivered, and others in pro- ; gross of construction. Some of the Locomotives I are finished, and two are on the route. The iron mentioned above, and this portion of j the equipment, may be considered as already a j charge upon the State. The committee are aware | of the danger of a precedent which allows an agent with limited powers, to transcend these powers; but, in the present instance, fully recognizing the imperative necessity which prompted tho invest ment, we recommend the ratification of the pur chases made by the administration, lor the iron and the equipment. DEPOT Bt’lt.mXGS Arc needed at Cnrtersville Kingston, Calhoun, and probably Chattanooga, when the rights of the Road are permanently defined, and the best locatim as certained. Pome of the buildings above named are unsafe as depositories for goods or produce, and ns the State is liable for loss or damage, the Agent should be furnished with good and secure Depot ioorn for all merchandize in his charge. The committee in the close of their labors cannot refrain from calling the attention of the Legislature, j to the importance of the Western & Atlantic Kail Road, its position and its prospects. Its northern , terminus is in the city of Chattanooga from which , point diverges a system of Rail Roads which penc- , trato every portion of the eastern Mississippi gal ley. The East Tennessee Rail Road, leaving our Road at Dalton, extends into the fertile t allies of East Tennessee, its continuation forms the Virginia Rail Road, which tunneling the Alleghany Moun tains, joins the extensive system of Rail Ro/ds re cently planned by the State of Virginia. When this work is finished, there will be an unbroken Rail Road track from Washington City to Montgomery Alabama. Our Road will form an important link in this great thoroughfare of trade and travel. On the west, the Nashville and Chattanooga Rail Road Company are overcoming obstacles once considered insurmountable, and are rapidly pushing their work to completion; from some point on this Hu >, the Memphis and Charleston Road diverges, a: l in a distance little less than 300 miles, reaches it- west ern terminus on tho banks of tho Mississippi. Two lines are spoken of from Nashville, « ne to Louisville. Kentucky, another to some point ;i the Mississippi River. From undoubted in.ori: : or. we learn that these great enterprises will b pleted. All these improvements will noccssai In hr t come valuable feeders to our State work. Th ■ 1600 ; miles of navigation furnished by tho Tenncsse river ! and its tributaries, concentrate upon Chattanooga j an important steam and flat boat trade. The fertile * bottoms drained by these streams produce, i i pro fusion, tbo staple articles of food so much needed by the planters of Georgia, South Carolina and Alaba ma. The other terminus of our Road is in the city of Atlanta, from which point radiate three great j ! lines of Rail-ways which embrace in their continu- j | ations and branches the wlmlo of Georgia, most of i ] I South Carolina, and a portion of Alabama: they | ! also connect the navigable waters of the Gulf w ith j , I the Atlantic ocean, disjiensing the benefits of cheap i ! and sudden communication tor trade and travel, to nearly two millions of people. Onr State Road forms the uithf roHuertiM* link between these great*Rail Road centres—Chattanooga and Atlanta; and no other lino can over bo built which will sc riously interfere with our monopoly, for the confor mation of the country forbids it. Between Norfolk, Va.. on.tho Atlantic, and Mobile on the Gulf, there • is no seaport, which will not be reached or controled j by the lines diverging from Atlanta. This secures j ; the concentration of tin* Mi>-sssippi A alley trade, j at that point, over our*lioad to bo distributed by : its connecting roads over this extended section. i The present business, mostly local, amounts lo i nearly a thousand dollars per day. This local trade • and travel will undoubtedly increase for some years j ‘ to come, at the rate of 20 per cent, per annum, as j 1 j the resources of the Cherokee country, have hardly t | begun to be developed. The Committee flatter j themselves that the receipts for the next fiscal year I will amount to 350,000 dollars ol which 50 per cent. | : should bo not profits. i When all the connecting roads shall have been j j | finished and the immense resources of tho country J ; ; developed, we believe that the receipts will ulti- , mately fall not much short of a million of dollars • per annum Other roads conduct their business < with an expenditure of less than 50 per cent, upon i their gross receipts. If the Committee should be i sustained in their calculations by future results and our rates of nett profits be the same as on other roads, our State would receive an annual income of 500,000 dollars, and thus at length be repaid for those sacrifices to a work which has contributed so much to give her character at home and abroad. With these bright prospects in the future, let us not desert this enterprise in its hour of need, let us not falter in this stupendous work, for the pride of , our State is involved, but go boldly on and perfect the pledge practically made to the States of the . j Mississippi Volley. They have depended upon our j i Road as an outlet for their trade, let us not deceive i them. Wm. F. Fannin, Samuel Fa bis, [committee. Lewis li.MLix, B. H.

It acts simulta neously upon the stomach , the circulation, and th** bowels, and thus three processes, which are ordinarily the result of three different kinds of medicine, are car ried on at the same time through the instrumentality of this one. remedial a;,ont. There are many ways of re lieving pain for the time being, hut there is only one way of removing disease. No palliative, no anodyne, no "tropical application will remove it. It must be at tacked at its source, in t lie fluids of the body, which convey the poison to the localities where it is develop ed in inflammation, bores, ulcers, tumois, abscesses, glandular swellings. «ie., as the ca-e may he. These fluids must be reached, acted upon, pui iff <1 by some powerful agent. Auchan agent is hand's Sarsa parilla. which gently stimulates while it disinfects and expels from the stomach and bowels all that is irritating, ant if the same time restores their vigor and tone. Its great merit is that it meets and neutralizes tlie active principle oi JLhcroe itself, and when that is gone, the symptoms necessarily disappear. Tlio rapidity with t which the patient recovers he:,Uh and strength under this triple influence is surprising. Katdi new case in which it is applied lurnv-hes in the result a new certifi cate of its excellence ; and w«* have only to point to the accumulated testimony of multitudes who have expe rienced its effects, to convince incredulity itself of its real value.

I arrived here from the United States by the overland route about the first or October last. A few days aiter, I was attacked with a very disagreeable eruption of the skin, which my physician could not cure. I happened to find your Sarsaparilla in a store in this place, and re membering the popularity of the medicine at home, I purchased three bottles, which had the desired effect of removing my difficulty entirely.

About a year and a halt ago a swelling appeared in my wife’s stomach, gradually increasing in size until it became as large as my fist, and so sore that she could not bear the least pressure upou it without giving her extreme pain. I get the advice of our best doctors, and they differed in opinion about it; some said it was an Ague Cake or Enlargement of the Spleen; some, that it was an Enlargement of the Ovaries; and others said it was a Tumor of the Ovaries, and could not be cured except by cutting it out. In this critical situa tion, I was persuaded to try 11. O. Farrell s Arabian Liniment upon it. aud strange as it may appear, upon the third application she began to improve, and has continued getting better daily, until now she is as well as ever—enjoying excellent health.
