We are informed, by a reliable gentleman, that a little sou of Mrs. Wa.tsoh, who resides about ten miles below this place, near Lower Long Cane church, fell from the top to the bottom of a well fifty-eight feet deep, a few days ago, and, was taken out in a few minutes after with scarcely any injury"! A few bruises which kept him in-doors only two days, was all the harm resulting. The well was walled from bottom to top with stone, and had some six feet of water in it. The little hero of this fearful adventure is not quite eight years <sf nrra. ? o ? Railroad Notioe. Extra, trains will be run from Greenwood and all the points above on the Greenville Railroad on Wednesday, the 25th of July instant, for the accommodation of all who wish to attend the public dinner to be given at Anderson on that day in honor of Col. Jas. L. Orr. Persons therefore who desire it, can go and return the same day for one fare. The train will leave Greenwood at 6 o'clock, and will be met at Hodges by the train from this place. Those intending to go will do well to be ^it the points of starting as early as possible.

It will be found an interesting pa- < per, written in a style eminently suited to the popular taste and understanding, and cannot fail to meet the commendation of the public as it did that of the stockholders before whom it was read. It would be i useless to say more of it, yet we cannot i pass it without expressing our hearty ap- i proval of the high tribute passed upon the i worth of'the running engineers and others 1 ou the Road, and ?f the motive which < ^ uuipicu it?a disposition to give donor 1 where honor is due.

The issue of bonds for the refund- , ing of assessments wife disagreed to, on ta- , king a stock vota. It appeared to us that ] a majority of the stockholders were in fa- . vor of the measure, but those who voted . negatively represented the largest stock. We thought the decision a wise one. The amalgamation of the Laurens Road , who me lircenviiie Jttoad provoked a some- , what excited and interesting debate. There ^ were some warm advocates of the proposed union, the most prominent of whom was Judge O'Neall, who urged it with consid- ( erable force of argument. It was of such a kind, however, as appealed more to the neighborly sentiment of the stockholders 1 than to their pockets. Judge "YVardlaw spoke lather in favor of the union, though 1 he had not investigated the subject enough ( to decide entirely either way, and it was at his moving the question was postponed. ' Messrs. Thompson, of Abbeville, Elford, , of Greenville, and several others, opposed with much earnestness and reasnn.

' '4 r.: Annual Report of tho President and Directors of the Q. & O. R. R. Company. Office G. & C. ft. R. Co., Abbeville, July MX, 1855. To the Stockholders of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad Company: The President and Directors submit tho following Report for the year ending the 31st May last:" It will not be expected, however interesting it might be, that we should, in a Report of this kind, givo a minute and detailed account of all tho workings of tho Road ; tho Reports herewith submitted of tho General Superintendent and of tho Auditor and Treasurer will tarnish you with as much of these details as we can in this form give. We will, however, call your attention specially to some of the most important of these matters, and invite your action upon 6ome subjects that seem to involve the pcruianeut interests of the Company. To sustain a pood character for the Road, and maintain its credit unimpaired, have ever been objects of great solicitude to the Direction. The ability to do, without delay, all. the business offering, the success which has attended the running of the Road, and the promptness with which all our liabilities have been met durifig a protracted money crisis, that has no precedent in our memory, afford the highest evidence that we can offer of the full attainment of these objects. The past year has been unbroken by disaster. Not a day of miscarriage?not a mail lost?not a passenger injured during its whole round. This success challenges comparison with any other Road. The Report of the General Superioteudant will show what additions and improvements have been made during the year, and the works that are still in progress. The Sre proof building for the Offices, *nd the joint passenger house at Columbia, are handsome buildings, well arranged for the dispatch of business. The heavy works at Broadaway, in the neighborhood of Newberry, upon the Abbeville Branch, and in the i-alley of Broad River, have given great value and Strength to the Road ; so that we nc longer hear the calumny that this is a rickety Road, exposed constantly to the dangei of being swept away by freshets. We trust that clamors like this are forever put to rest. These improvements and additions have cost the Company a large 6um of money, not less than one hundred thousand dollars, which has been carried into the accounts of the Treasurer. We think Lhat this is money well invested. The recommendations of the Superintendent as to further improvements are worthy'?f-?.=ftideration ; and as soon as the means of the Company are sufficient to defray the expense, it would be well to take order on the subject. Two hundred tons of Railroad iron ol the T pattern have been purchased. It is now in Columbia ready for use, and will be laid down near Columbia in the place ol the flange rail, which is much worn and needs replacing. As our meana will allow, the work of replacing the flange rail with agooJ T rail, should be continued, until nil of tfc. flange rail now on our Road has been taken up. The income for the year is $270,042 46 The income for the previous year was ... 214,885 13 Showing an increase of - $55,177 33 rhis increase has been principally in the freights. The accounts show also an increase in the receipts from passengers, for Uthough there were not as many persons travelling on the Road the last year as the pear previous, they traveled farther. A -diminution in the number of travelers was :loubtless owing to the great scarcity of money. With good crops and more plentiful circulation of money, we confidently expect in increase from both freight and passengers for the ensuing year. Df the income - - 8270,042 40 There have been paid on ac count 01 expenses - 192,241 10 Leaving a balance of income of $77,801 27 rhe current expenses have been greatly increased by the extensive repairs above mentioned, most of which with great propriety might have been carried tp the construction account; a large portion, also, of these disbursements was on account of balances due for the previous year. The balince on this account due is considerably less than it was this time last year?the difference being in fact a debt of the Compa* ay in this way paid. Tho balance above ihown has been applied to the payment of interest on the Bonds, and to other debts of the Company. The Report of the Auditor and Treasursr shows that there have been reoeived ' of capital stock the sum of $1,193,410 78 Of assessment on stock - 150,059-00 leaking an aggregate of * $1,848,469 78 Received from income of the Bo ad . . 682,973 74 > ; ' '"j 11 g ? * JfeV; .-,i r v '*J3 And that thore have been paid I out 3,070,605 00 < 1 Balance debts - - $1,050,222 48 I Amount of Coupon Bonds sold .... 785,000 00 i Balance in favor of tlio Treasury ... 8205,222 48 ' This balance is due upon Bonds at short dates, notes of tho Company, and drafts accepted. All of this indebtedness except . 1 about - 16,388 93 ] is payable before the first of January next, To wit - - - - $248,833 55 Besides the above the Company owes debts, not fully ascertained, which will be increased by the first of January next to at least - 130,000 00 Twenty-six thousand dollars have been paid of our subscription to tlie capital stock of tho Spartanburg and Union R.

J. Elforo's hands - 4,900 00 $202,720 75 Balance of deb^to be provided ! for - ... ?200,112 80 Iu the above indebtedness is included the debt of $73,500 due to the Bank of the State, originally created on the faith of the assessment upon the State stock, which it was supposed would be paid, but which has not yet been paid, and should now be provided for. Application was made to the Legislature, at its Inst sitting/ asking that this assessment might be paid by the State; but unfavorable indications induced a withdrawal of the application before any decision 011 it was had. The matter now stands as it did before. The interest on this debt has been regularly paid. ' The debts of the Company might be paid from the income of the Road : but this would necessarily require a continued application for several years of all the earning^ 1 with the consequent loss of immediate profits to the stockholders, and of that credit to the Company which the payment of dividends is well understood to produce. If this debt could be funded, thcro is a fair prospect for the payment of dividends at an early day. The Board, therefore, propose to issue 7 per cent. Coupon Bonds to the amount. r?f fifin if naodnd ? V.?V)VVV) It UUVUVU) IV IUI1U the indebtedness of the Company. If the Stockholders would themselves, according to their respective means, take of these Bonds at par, they would turn their money to more advantageous account than they i could do by employing it in planting* operations, and would render their present investment in the Road more valuable by defeating the arts which stock-jobbers use to depreciate the Bonds before they purchase them. Under the powers conferred upon us by the last Convention, we have declared a large number of shares of the capital stock of the Company forfeited, because of non1 payment. Upon some of these shares partial payments have beeri made and upon -11 a < ? ufctioio iiu jiajrmoiiia at Mil. A list OI IUO stock thus forfeited is herewith submitted for your inspection; to which is appended a list of stock not tally paid, but which it is hoped will be paid, and as to whieh no for' fciture as yet has been declared. Mr. H. T. Peake, who was our General Superintendent at the time of your last meeting, was invited in December last to tako tbe position of General Superintendent on the South Carolina Road. He accepted tho invitation, and left our employ' ment the latter part of that month. It was with much regret that we parted with him. T/?

They are men worthy of our confidence and high regard, and they honor the station that they fill. Having failed in raising the subscription to the capital stock of tlie Company to the sum required for building a road to connect our Road with tho South Carolina Railrond at Aiken, an application was made to the Legislature at its last sitting for an extension of the lime allowed to open and close books of subscription, which was granted; and two years were allowed for that purpose. Under the amended charter the further privilege was granted to our Company to extend our Road by a railroad from Greenville to the North Carolina line, and ten years allowed for the completion of that work. With a view to maintain the important position which our Road occupies, and to guard it from detriment from other similar enterprises of the day, wo would earnestly recommend to your serious consideration the building of these two Roads. Tho country will not be satisfied without them, or substitutes for tbeui, and our intersels manifestly urge us to the work. By delay wo may lose that which no time can restore. The Legislature of North Carolina last winter granted a charter for a Railroad along tiio I'retich broad to connect with tho South Carolina roads. This matter is now commanding the attention of different portions of our State, It is of great importance to our Road that the connection should he made with it. Some effectual move should be made by you in this Convention upon these subjects. Tho wisdom of the Convention must direct what is to de done. Into your hands we would commit the whole subject, wilh the remark that if it is the intention of our Company to build these Roads, or either of them, no time should be lost in making a movement forward^ but if it is not the intention to build them, then you should unequivocally abandon them altogether, and leave the matter to others unimpeded by our interference. Tho Board has recently appointed a corns of Engineers, of which Mr. Geo. E. Walker is the chief, to survey the routes of these two Roads. They have entered upon their duty, and with industry and diligence have pressed forward with their work. As yet, however, only a partial survey has been made from Greenwood to Aiken. Estimates of thecostjwith a profileof the Road, &8 far as^he survey has been rihde, are herewith submitted, to which yotirattention is invited. Other routes will yetbe surveyed. Enough has been done to showthat this con nection is not only practicable, tut easy and inviting. As soon as the surveyain this quarter have been completed- it is iocontemplation to survey the route aboveGreonville: and, unless by your action thiasurvey shall be rendered useless, it will be Hide. We cannot consistently with our feelings close this Report without rendering some tribute, however feeble, to the nemory of uur iu?tj associate, lur. joel mini, who departed this life, atStoney Pointj o the nineteenth of February last. Frona tic first organization of the Company he ias one of the most enthusiastic friends of the enterprise, and one of the most activ^iseful and influential members of the Boaftiof Direction. By word and by act he ghie encouragement and substantial aid upon all suitable occasions. In the darkest hos.-g, when many were disposed and almost ready to abandon the undertaking, he faltered not, but by his sanguine temperament, active exertions and liberal risk of money cheered on the friends of tbo Road to suo?*? rr:? worth, general intelligence and extensive influence were all the fruit of his honest industry, sound judgment, unquestioned probity and untiring energy, and were all treely employed to advance the interest* of the Company, even amidst the embarraatinenU of disease.
