FRIDAY MORNING, DEC 4, 1868
Columbia and Augusta Railroad.
president’s report.
To the Sioek/toldeys of the Columbia and Augusta
Railroad Company ;
Gentlemen: In obedience to yodr by-laws,
the President and Directors respectfully sub
mit the following report of the mogruss of the
road, and condition of the company, 'or the
year ending the Ist of October last. This period
closed the fiscal year of the company, and its
regular annual meet lug should havo taken place
on the first Thursday Iu November. But owing
to the inconvenience to many of the stock
holders iu reaching Columbia before the road
should be completed to Granitevllle, the Direc
tors assumed the responsibility of postponing
the meeting until the present time.
In November last the Congaree Bridge,
within two miies of the city ot Columbia, Was
completed. This structure is 1,025 feet long,
supported by solid gianite piers and abutm uts,
laid in lime and hydraulic cement, with a super
structure made of iron and of the “ Fiuk
patent,” and is believed to be one of'the best
and most substantial bridges in the South. It'
cost about 100,000. As soon as the river was
thus crossed, a force was organized and track
laying commenced. This has progressed
steadily since December last, with the excep
tion of one or two temporary detentions, until
the day of November last, when near Shaw’s
Creek it met the track force which had com
menced at. Graniteviile—thus completing about
seventy miles of road. From Graniteville one
half of the graduation is completed to Augusta
—a distance of eleven miles—with all the rails
delivered or shipped lor its construction. This
can He finished to the. Savannah river in a few
months, with the force now at work upon i'.
Proposals to conjunct the bridge across th
river at Augusta, on favorable terms, have been
received for more than a month, but have not
been accepted on account of the vexatious diffi
culties and obstructions interposed to the con
struction of the road by the South Carolina
Railroad Company.
The eutire work has not made as rapid pro
gress as was desired by the Board. This was
owing, in the first place, to the. very hard
material encountered in the graduation. Almost
the entire substratum of the earth iron# Colum
bia to Augusta cousists of a hard clay, which
could only be excavated with the pick. This
added materially lo the time and cost of the
work. It is also known lhat in the fall of 1805,
when the Stockholders resolved to go on with
the road, the means ot the company -were
limited. These have been gradually and very
materially increased by subscriptions to the
capital stock, as the work prntfr<»**d. .Pro
gress con Id, therefore, only be made commen
surate with the means at command. During
■this period the Presidential and Congressional
reconstruction plans were upon the country,
with military rules to make, laws and enforce
them at the "point of the bayonet. In the sub
version of ad settled political and civil law.
which the country has undergone during this
short period, confidence and credit, with the
labor of the country were necessarily impaired
to a Very great degree. Superadded to these
embarrassments to the progress and develop
ment of the country, was the Bouth Carolina
Railroad Company, forcibly resisting your
crossing her track, tearing down your work,
and, with her assured claims of “ exclusive
rights and franchise,” forcing this company,
for the third time, into the Court of Equity, to
show cause why the construction of its road
should not be en)oincd. After the two first at-
tempts to'enjoin the work were refused by the
(’haucellor, and on appenl to the highest tri
bunal in the State, decided by a full court
against that Company, it was not anticipated
that it would institute identically the same pro
ceeding, based on only one of the three grounds
contain fed in the original bill Hied against tfu s
company. For in '.be first suit the issues as
to flie right to condemn its right of way, upon
compensation being made, to cut Us rails aud
cross its track near Columbia, jis well ns
building a parallel road between Graniteville
and Augusta, were all made, presented and
elaborated by able counsel before the Su
premo Court and decided in favor Os the
Columbia Util road Company, to construct
its track on the very line it is now prosecuting
its work. The valley of Horse Creek is the
only practicable approach to the city of Augus
ta, upon reasonable grades, from the East,
owing to the elevated range of hills bordering
the Eastern bank of the Savannah river. This
stream breaks the continuity of-this elevated
plateau and, like a pass in the mountain range,
furnishes a comparatively eas.y_ approach to
Hamburg or Augnsta. Graniteville, as well as
this valley, for several.miles,. are ou an air line
to Augusta from Columbia, while the South
Carolina Railroad truck has traveled miles from
an air line to make its approaches to the river
through this valley. If either road, therefore,
has departed from a “ direct line,” or “ the
most practicable route ” from their respective
starting points—Columbia and. Charleston —it
is certainly not the Columbia and Angusta Rail
road. In the brief iltnits of a report, it is not
expected to more than, refer to the principal
features of this extended controversy.; Tour
direction are' uuabfe io see., any reasonable
grounds in law or equity upon which thefo
fure progress of jour road can be materially
ffri-tOcckiii II Cdnotitutionaltef,
q 4 4 ~VHbS
interfered with. The constitution of Mgs
made requisite a different mode of «««i*6k
compensation for laud taken for tbe constru*
Don of public works, and rendered necessary
further legislation to meet tbfe provisions af
the constitution. Such legislation wasuofcnJO 1
feeted until the latter part of September UuL.
Immediately thereafter notice was given to the
South Carolina Railroad Company of proceed
ings instituted to asses the compensation for
the right of way over their land, but these pro
ceedings were thwarted by a denial on tbe part
of the South Carolina Railroad Company, that
they had refused to grant snch right of way.
This rendered necessary the giving a speciai
notiae and the drawing forth a special refusal
in writing, which having been done, the "pro
ceedings are now again instituted, with the
view to an early ascertainment of the compen
sation. The want of previous payment of
compensation is the basis of the terajfbrary in
junction granted by Mr. Justice Willard, which
could not be paid or tendered until assessed by
a jury.
In December last, your Chief Engineer, Cap
tain F. Gardner, a gentleman of high character
and Scientific attainments, resigned his posi
tion. Mr. James O. Moore, Wbo had been bis
assistant, was selected to fill.the vacancy. He
has displayed much skIJU, efferjftr and success in
his devotion to the company's inforest. To bis
report you are referred, fora more detailed ac
count of -the construction. MaJ. Vu>, Craig,
former Treasurer; a valuable and efficient offi
cer, also resigned about tbe same time. Econ
omy and efficiency required that this officer
should be more dlr-ecUy associated with the
President. HetKSB Ctwflpe JH. MaVan. of Co
lumbia, an hecompnshekf ficctjtrbtaut, was select
ed to fill the vacancy created by Major Craig’s
resignation. To his account current, general
statement and exhibits, your attention is re
spectfully invited, in order that you may under
stand more of the financial condition of the
company. From Ills genera), smement jt will

OBftv,!Hisiiles f»ther- mi ti or assets, consisting of
iaeak nrtttef? Ac; fHtt-ite.tffMr of Us future in
come--which will yield something to its treas
ury. Os these bonds, *400,000 are endorsed by
the Charlotte and Boutb Carolina Railroad Com
pany, and are believed to be the best secured 7
per centum bonds issued in the State of South
Carolina. With these assets properly adminis
tered, considering the severe trials through
which your road has steaddy progressed, no
doubt is entertained of its early completion lo
the city, of Augusta, about eleven miles from
Graniteville, tbe present Western terminus of
the track—whence trains will run daily to Char
lotte, North Carolina, without the change of
cars.
With the exception of a very small portion of
the entire line, the road-bed is very solid and
will be easily maintained ; while the rails are of
M substantial T pattern, withffil tbe joints se
cured by the double continuous lip chairs,
making it a first-class road.
Its commaudiug position for through busi
ness, saving over sixty miles between Augusta
and New York, penetrating a healthy, fertile
country, yielding a good local income, it must
prove, under fair management when com
pleted, a valuable property, as well as a great
improvement to the State.
Under all circumstances, considering the
means of the company, the disorganized Tabor,
the high price of rails and other materials, the
unsettled political and social condition of the
country, impairing confidence and credit, with
the violent and persistent opposition of a cor
poration which once almost controlled the Leg
islation of the State, you arc deemed fortunate
in having so nearly completed a road long since
demanded by the public wants and necessities
ol tbe country. No other company in the
South is known t® have laid *o many miles of
rails, under the same enibarrassnSmts, with a*
much economy. The formidable opposition to
jottr enterprise, while itr has delayed its pro
gress and affected its credit, ouly demonstrates
its public importance and necessity.
The Board of Directors take pleasure io ac
knowledging the liberal spirit nnd material atd
rendered in its consiruction by tbe Charlotte
and South Carolina Railroad Company. As
the interests and policy of these corporations
arc identical, it has been suggested by many
stockholders «f each, that it would be to the
interest of both to have them consolidated Into
one company. That it would produce unity
and concert in a more extended line, thereby
rendering both more efficient for public con
venience and transportation, and greatly econo
mize the expenses of administering them sepa
rately. While those considerations are adrait
ed to have weight, yonr direction have not
maturely considered the subject, amt would
beg to refer the matter to the stockholders, for
such consideration or aetiou as they may deem
proper.
The acknowledgements of this company are
due to the liberal eo-operation of the citizens
of Lexington in the work of construction, nnd
the valuable aid of several contractors in Edge
field, with the liberal spirit manifested bv the
land proprietors from Columbia to Augusta.
Respectfully submitted.

Tne Emigrants on the Gauss. —We ex
uressed a wish yesterday that the passentrers
oil the Gauss might be induced to remain in
this State. Sirce then we have bad a cenversa
tiou with General John A. Wagener, the Com
missioner of Emigration, and he has confirmed
our view of the matter. It these people are in
search of a home, we see no necessity for them
to incur the addition tl expense and trouble of
going North or West, or to any other part of
the United States. South Carolina offers as
many, it not more, advantages than can be
lonnd in any other State. Our soil is fertile
and abounds in mineral riches. There is aban
donee of room ior them, and lands can he pur-
chased by those who desire to follow agricultu
ral pursuits at very reasonable rates and upon
easy terms. Auapplication to Gen. Wagener,
the Commissioner of Emigration, himself a
German, will convince any one ot this. To those
who desire to engage in other employments
abundant opportunities are offered. The re
cent discovery ot phosphates has created a
largely increased demand for labor, and we
know of one gentleman in this city, uow en
gaged in the phosphate business, who is in
want of labor, and who can furnish employ
ment for, and wonlu readily engage the ser
vices ®f, fifty workmen. In the city there is
every reason to hope for an increase of pros
perity and a corresponding demand lor labor.
We believe that Charleston, having passed
through the recent political turmoils, will go
on increasing in wealth and prosperity; capi
tal will flow in, the work of rebuilding the
burnt districts will be carried on, and no. one
will lack employment. We repeat then to
these emigrants, that if they are in search ot a
home they can do no better than remain in
South Caroliua. We need their assistance to
rebuild our]fallen fortunes; there are thousands
of acres of vacant land waiting but for the
plowshare of the larmer to yield abundantly of
the fruits of the earth ; and we affer them a
home here in Carolina, with a reasonable hope
of a glorious, happy and prosperous future.
We learn that the Commissioner of Emigra
tion is taking the proper steps to communicate
these lacts to these new comers. We trust he
may be successful in his object, and may in
duce them to remain among us. They can
find as pteasant atrtfecotefbrtable homes in this
State us in any other kt the Union.
