We want 110 chicken-ltearted old grannies here; those who come here must be ready cooked and primed for any thing that cornea to hand.

STDfK'HfiT.nFRS ftP TUP CTkTTTlJ CAROLINA RAILROAD COMPANY, At the last meeting of the Board of Directors, held 011 the 20th instant, the following resolutions were adopted: " Resolved, That the exigencies of the Company require that the remaining instalments up011 the existing shares shall lie called in. " Resolved, That the same Committee be au' thorized to arrange the details, and advertise the calls, accompanied with an address to theStockholders explanatory of the advantages of the measure." In obedience to these resolutions, we beg 1^: A- 1 IA A- . . . . - ieuve iu buuniii 10 you a snori statement 01 uie coudition of your affairs; and we hope it will have the effect of convincing you that the calling in of the remaining instalments is a measure which, though demanded, it is true, by our necessities, is supported equally by the soundest considerations of policy ; and we are the more anxious to convince you of this, because we earnestly desire a united and spirited co-operation on your part in the measure, as essential to impart efficiency to the administration of our uffuirs, and sustain, by the confidence it will imply in the enterprise, the market value of your shares. The able report of your own Committee, submitted through their Chairman, Mr. Ravenel, at the last Annual Convention, renders it unnecessary for us to go into any details. It was there shown that the aggregate debts of the company amounted on uie 3ist ot December, 18-19, to $3,515,507 Wo held certain securities, &c. of the nmount of 232,030 Wliich reducesjihe nctual balance of indebtedness to $3,283,477 The improvements actually in progress and in contemplation, will require a further outlay of (as per 31r. Kavettel s Report) 63G.OOO Forming an aggregate indebtedness, nctual nnd proximate, of $3,919,774 Of this stun there will be paid out of the proceeds of the iron sold to the Greenville Company 21fi,000 i-eaving finally a debt, permanent and floating, of $3,703,477 This is tlio difficulty with . tiiclt we have to contend. The Hoard caused an elaborate report to he prepared and submitted to them by this Committee; and though predetermined against calling in the instalments, after a careful consideration of that report, and patient in vestigation and discussion of the subject in all its bearings, their judgment became entirely convinced that it was a measure imperatively demanded bv the emergency, and strongly sustained by wisdom and prudence. We will endeavor to show you what the operation will be upon your present condition and future prospee Ls. Wo'havo nliown v?u that yonrageirgnteileht <* $3,703,477 innr present capital consists of 38,810 Shares, ill $75 2.910,750 $0,011,227 Of tlic above ileht we find nlxnit 2,733,227 To be of a pernmm-nt character, or such ns may lx? kept in existence without eml(arrassment to the Company.

We estimate the average gross income at $1,000,000 The current expenses nt 45 per cent $150,000 The reserved fund for wenr and lenr of iron and machinery at 15 per cent. 150,000 600,000 heaving for the nett annual earnings $400,(XX) I? pay > per cent, dividend and interest on $6,600,000 will require 396,000 Hy this measure, then, we shall he enabled to pay all pressing demands against the Company ; fix definitely the extent of the debt to be funded, and eventually discharged, by a new issue of stock ; complete all the improvements in * progress, and- bring the capabilities of the Boact into full and efficient action; enter upon the payment of regular and certain dividends, and. give the shares an appreciable and permanent, valoe. Relying upon the soundness of these conclusions, the Board have instructed us, in announcing the call of the instalments, to apprise*, you also of the confident expectation they en-tertain that in July next they will commence, and continue regularly, as they believe, the pay-ment of semi-annual dividends out of the earnings of the Company; and we are directed toJ!\nrPSS tllP hnnfi that tViio r\( linni" of-' fairs will inspire yon, as it has them, with renewed confidence in the enterpi ize, and prevent" any sacrifice of the shares; The moderation of' their views does not permit them to encourage the expectation of larger dividends than 6 per" cent but even the most prudent will readily admit that it is very far from unreasonable to expect that the income will be greater,, and the expenses less, than the sums stated in the foregoing estimate : results that would, of course, materially enlarge the dividends, particularly as the interest on the permanent debt would be stationary. , It will also be borne in mind, that very great extensions of our communication will soon take place by the Greenville and Anderson, Charlotte and Manchester Roads, and by the Road*, in Upper Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee, which arc coming to completion, and that very considerable additions to the transportation and travel, and consequently to the profits of our mil of liprnnftpr rncnlf frrvm tVinii* onmnln. tion. The extent of the future increase of in- come from these sources, we do not pretend toestimate; but every intelligent mind will perceive its bearing upon the present value of our shares. With these results in prospect, not a shareought to be sold at any sacrifice, nor should necessity force any to make such sacrifices.? Money is abundant eveiywhere, and cannot be scarce here. This is a great public work, in which the State, the City, aud many of our Banks and other public institutions, are largely interested; and those private stockholders who require some aid to meet this call, cannot, under such circumstances, and at such a time, fail to obtain it In order to facilitate the payments, as much as possible, the calls will be made as. follows: On the 1st of June next, 85 " 1st of Aug. 5 " 1st of November, 5 " 1st of January, 1851, 10 . 25 G.
