This gentleman, formerly Superintend ent of the North and South Railroad Com pany, has bean assigned to duty on the Baltimore and Ohio, and Virginia, Mid land and Great Southern Railroads, as General Freight and Passenger Agent. He has not yet deeidsd where he will make headquarters. The position is an impor tant one, and Captain 0. is well qualified to All that or any higher one in the coun- try- asiosMUkol o/O Calf More. Young Robsrt Dawkins, aged eighteen jeers, took a somnambulistic trip at Sa lem, Ala., last week. He retired early. About midniRht he put on his clothes, went into the yard, ran after and cap tured a yoqng oplf, which be dwung upon Ma shoulder and started for the oattle yard. Tha struggles of the oalf awakened tbe sleeper, who dropped his burden aud retired. Dfring the trance his eyes are described as wide open and shining like Are.

The delegates from Columbus wans Aldermen C. A. Redd, Kent ead/Aldsr- man Geo. R. Flournoy. Ook frrintap, of Boom, was made President, and Geo. B. Flournoy, of Columbus, Becrstary. A oommittos of three, OoL Mobley, of’ Harris oounty, and 0. A. Redd, of Colum bus, and F. A. Frost, of Lagrange, were appointed to ascertain whether a majo rity of stock was represented, and it was found that a large Majority was present. The capital stook was reported at $412,822. Subsequent conversation de veloped tbe facts that the Charter allowed capital stook of twp mHHooei that $600,000 had bean subscribed, and only $412,822 paid in.

Gentlemen : I have thought At to oall you together to 1st you know the exact status of your Company. When I took the ofAoe of President of your Company I found the Bead without funds, with a bonded debt of $240,000, endorsed by the State, besides an addltlna»l bonded and Aoating debt. The first internet on tbe endorsed bonds fell due on the 6th No vember last Having no funds to pay with, lacked and received from the credi tors an extension Of six 'months. The next interest (amounting to $9,400,) will be due on tbe 6th May, and it will be im possible with the reaoutoes of the Com- peny to meet it. Since your last mealing every effort has been made to oontinue the Hood, and at one time arrangements had about been consummated for the completion of the next section o( twenty miles, but it was broken up by the financial troubles of ths country. These troubles have completely unsettled confidence in almost every Southern seourity and particularly iu new Bailroad enterprises. For further details I beg to oall your attention to the reports of Capt. W. D. Ohipley, late Superintendent, Sad Oapt. Wm. Redd, Jr., Secretary and Treasurer. On the 9th init, before fully recover ing from the storm of March 16, we wets visited by another severe rain, whioh broke the road in seventeen plaoss. I have bad fixed every break exoept one, and that to-day will be rspeired. To morrow I hope to resume the regular eobedule. I have met the expense of these repairs with my private means and the assistance of a few of the business men of this oity. I regret the exceedingly unfavorable situation of this enterprise, for it is one in whioh I have always felt the greatest interest, believing that it not only has merit iu itself, but that if finished aud operated properly, it would be sure to pay a dividend to ita stockholders, and also feeling that if it should fail to be built, it would be a serious blow not only to tbe people along the line, but partionlarly so to Rome, LaGrange and .Columbus.

But by a show Of enterprise the big profit, whioh it * " must be evident to the most casual observer must aeetue to the future management of the road, can bo secured by those who have already in- vested in its stook, as well as tha facilities to which they look forward with so mnoh interest That thestockholders will hesi tate to advise a sals to such parties us can and will finish the road, I cannot believe; for the folly of frittering away tbe re sources of the Iambus sank $850,660 In tha Mobillaad Girard.

Blanchard, PrMident, and Board of Directort: Gentlemen—The time having arrived for my resignation as a member of yoar Board and Superintendent of your Com. pauy to go into effect, it becomes proper for me to submit a brief resume of tbe operations of the Company since my last report, and I will add some facts in re gard to the progress of tbe enterprise whioh may prove of interest. Before doing ao, however, 1 desire to express in this connection my regret at leaving the service of your company with whioh I have been oonneoted from its in ception. I will watob the progrea of your enterprise with intense interest, and will rejoioe sincerely in the prosperity whioh will yet oompasa ita affairs when comple ted, upon what I honestly believe to be the best unoocupied line in the Bouth. Tbe trial balance of the Treasurer to Feb. 28tb, inclusive, showa the amount of Bubsoription to capital stock paid np to be $411,662 82. This amount ia what the Company has worked upon, but I desire to oall your attoutiou to the manner end time of Us payment. ~~e received from City of Columbus in bonda $3)0,UUO, nuttiug iu cmIi. ... $134,070 00 rmx CI0AMB!

Ail would have still been woll had it beeu possible to have concen trated even this amount conceded above as available. But such a course waa not within the power of your executive offi cers. Fifteen thousand dollars from Heard county and Northern part of Troup was given, conditioned upon its being ex pended north of the Chattahoochee; and there it lies to-day in long miles of gra ding, dead oapital to the Company, and of value .to the subaeribsrs themselves only beoanae it serves to mark irrevocably the line upon whioh tbe road will ulti mately be built. This amount headed to the company without conditions, would havs provided freight on the second twenty miles, and aeonred tha shipment of tha same before tbe panio earns and interrupted the pur chase. Likewise other Troup subscrip tions wars restricted to Tkoup, sad those ef Harris county to its owaUsrite. Excluding the first twenty bands from Columbus, whioh was given wfipoat con- company by useless delays must be apparent to all, now that State aid—the company's basis for credit—isno longer available in any shape, manner, or form. This oonrso would have been un necessary bad the country been spared the financial convulsion whioh has shaken it to its centre, and suspended the railroad enterprises throughout tbe country almost without on exception. Upon completion of the first twenty miles arrangements were made for iron for the seoond, but were lost by delay in obtaining Btate endorsement. This diffi culty being met, contracts were made for completing substructure and laying track to La Grange, and the iron was secured from the Gueago Bail Company on credit of company's bonds, to be endorsed here- after. Freights on the iron were being negotiated, when the panio' interrupted every plan and hope. Under these plain facts a ehsnge of hands seems inevitable. Knowing that the President has obtained from Northern parties (to this date) one-third of the amount necessary to earry out tbe pur chase and completion of tbe road, I trust tha stockholders, at their meeting on the 22d inst., will furnish any deficit needed, and push forward the important enter prise. I had also seoured the promise of an additional locomotive, but appreciating the company's inability to pay promptly for the game, I declined a sale and leased instead of buying. This engine was damaged in reoent ac cident, and should be repaired at once. To the 16th prox., tbe Company bad never lost a dollar or injured a per,.on by accident. On that day the morning train South went into trestle No. 4J, wracking the engine and a freight car, and slightly injuring a passongcr coach, inflicting a loss of about $1,500. Would that thia ended the unfortunate affair, but I must add tba death of Bragg Younge, engine- man, and Willie Taylor, tlreman. They were old and faithful employees, and died at their poata like brave men, regretted by tbe Company and community. The tres tle had been examined by tbe road ter two hours before the disaster, aud no foresight oould have prevented the event whioh was due to the washing out of a bent by the flood of rain which fell at tho time. Tbe break in the line was repaired in a few days and the usual businens of Company prosecuted since without inter ruption. The receipts since my last report, to Maroh 1st, have been: Freight, $4,724.67; passage, $6,441; mail and other sonroes, $540. Tbe receipts since the completion of tbe first twenty miles have averaged over $1,- 400 per mouth. Tbe entire expenses of the company, not including tbe Ralary of President, Treasurer and Superintendent, have been reduced to less than $560 per month. Tbis inoludes water, waste, oil, wood, expenses of train, maintenance of way, and agencies on tho lino, the Treas urer noting as agent at Columbus. . Some persons have used this company’s oost ou the first twenty miles as an argu ment against tha gauge under which the oompauy is constructing, citing its oost at $400,000, or $20,000 per mile. At least two parties, both railroad men, have used this statement in printed articles, and it demands an explanation. It has often been announced, aud they must have known, that there was applied to raid sec tion $200,000 of Columbus bonds, $20, 000 of Rome bonds, $ 10,000 of LaGrange bonds, and from the $400,000 should be subtracted the discount on these bonds and interest paid contractors while wait ing for payments froln subscribers, and the endorsement of bonds by the State— all of whioh were necessarily charged to oonatruoliou. As it amounted in the ag gregate to over $100,000, the cost was less than $15,000 per mile, exclusive of dis counts ; a very reasonable amouut, con sidering the right of way bought, the ex cellent equipment, depots, water stations, and the fact that the manner iu whioh tho subscribers paid their subscriptions [or;«tf the company to pay oredit prices. I should state that more than tho net amount of the Romo bonds was expendod there at tbjkt'end of the road, W.C.Cherry A Co , waving their lion, that the first bond mortgages might be endorse.), aud aooepting in payment on their work iu the first mortgage bonds upon the seoond section, to be endorsed when tbe said sec tion was completed. This was more than an equivalent for twenty Romo bonds, diverted by permission of Rome officials to the Columbus division, and was a strict compliance with Rome’s eouditions, but 1 fear that from present appearances, it will inflict heavy loss upon tbe construct or*. It is with undisguised satisfaction that I refer to tbe negotiation of tbe municipal bonds received in Bubsoription to tho stook of the company. I tried to get tbe ef Teaedge oleaed cm* of the taMt '*%ly diffstt ever been our pleasure to witches. We were awakened in the morning by the pattering of ■ heavy rein.

Bed there been passer, B would have been eiolnaiVely oonfined within doors, as tha day wee that on whioh tbe City Light Guard* had chosen for their pionio, prize drill, target practice and “enjoyable." The rein put e damper on all that. The two military companies marched down tbe street early yesterday morning, just as the shower had oeaaed, headed by the Columbus Guards’ end the Wall Silver Comet Blbss Band*. The troops departed from the Broad street depot at 8 a. u., aooompanied by two oar loads of ladles. Arrived at Fort Mitobell, the rain* con tinued. A dense wee Improvised in the depot. The rains lulling, ell proceeded to the plafform on the hill. Hardly had half a cotillion been finished before the rein* commenced • dance of their own. The military made a double-quick move ment to the train, preoeedsd by the la dies. Many, however, received e drench ing. The 10 o’oiook train left with some of tbe military, bnt few others. Many who had purohased tiokets did not go on ac. oount of tbe rains. ’ ■ Tha two oompaniea, finding delay use less, returned to the oity early in the afternoon, with other guests.

DEBATE AND BZSOLUTIOHS. President Blanohard stated the Direct ors oould do no,more than they had. Ths Governor was swats of the situation. Ha had secured from him a daisy in tits seiz ure of the road until ths meeting to-day. The meeting of bonds had been delayed a year by him. The $240,600 of State endorsed bonds have priority over all oth er claims. The bonds were endorsed last June. Only a short time is required for the Governor to take possession. He had been unable to ssoortsin tha time. No one would advanoe money. It wss with great reluctance he had taken the Presi dency of the road, and had tried bis ut most to bring the roots to a successful consummation, without avail. Ex-Mayor Jarboe thought if Columbus and Harris would inoreaas their subscrip tion 33 J percent., LaGrange and Troup and Heard counties would do the same, companies ive armories. We are glad to learn that the pio-nio was a pecuniary suocess. Good for the City Lights, a most gallant company, and a deservedly popular one. L. T. DOWN I MU, Attorney and Eolleitor. V. 8.
