Report of the Committee 011 the Report of
the President of the Q. & O.'R. R. Co.
(Extract/win Minutes of latt Convention.)
Tub Committee (consisting of Messrs.
I'. I?. Duncan, \Vm. Glaze, J no. A. "Wilson,
A.M. Sunn, Daniel Brown, II. II.
Kinard, J no. A. Martin, J. W. Coleman,
and Geo. Anderson,) submitted the follow-'
ing Report:
That they have examined the papers sub
mitted to them as carefully us their limited
time would permit, and are gratified to be
able to state, that the exhibits of the condition
and prospects of the Company are
entirely satisfactory.
During the past year, which in mauy respects
was an extraordinary one, the road
has accomplished the purpose which was
desigucd and accommodated the country by
doing, without delay, all the business oiler
in-j. This business has been done, it seems
tcryour Committee, with a promptness, regularity,
certainty and safety unsurpassed if ev-1
cr equalled. It certainly is a matter of which
we may be justly proud to be able to say,
with truth, that the past year has been unbroken
by disaster,?not a day of miscarriage,
not a mail lost, not a passenger injured during
the whole round. May we not in view
of all that has been said about our road,
with excusable exuitation challenge a comparison
with any other? The Greenville
Road has not only done the business of the
country with extraordinary promptuess reg*
ularity and safety, but they have maintained,
without tarnish, the credit of the Company,
during a protracted monied crisis which
has had perhaps no precedent in the country.
To a Company situated as the Greenville
Company is, oiedit is capital, and if
good faith and an honest desire to meet engagements
constitute a just claim to that
virtue, then we may ray, that no Company
is more justly entitled to it than the Greenville
and Columbia Railroad Coinpanj*. It
is hoped and believed that from this time
forward the money market will be less stringent.
to the finauccs of the Company, it is
remarkable to observe, how nearly the anticipations
of last year as to the probable
income from the road have been j-ealized.
Your Committee have not the slightest
doubt that those expectations would have
been more than realized but for the remark-:
able scarcity of money, and the very short
crops made in the whole legion of couutry
intersected by the Greenville Railroad, and
they think that judging from the past, they j
are justified in predicting that the gross
receipts for the current year will be greatly
increased.
The income of the Road for the past year j
has been disposed of as follows. The in- ]
terest upon the coupon bonds has been^
promptly paid?amounting to near the sum
of fifty-six thousand dollars, and the rernain der
has been paid in liquidating the debts
of the Company, in paying the current expenses,
and in paying for iron and permanent
improvements upon the road. Your
Committee approve of this disposition of the
-profits of the Company.
They are satisfied that it is better and
more for the permanent iuterest of the Company,
to maintain and improve the road,
and to liquidate their debts gradually (out
of the profits of the road which may remain
after paying the coupons falling due)
than to leave the floating debt unpaid and
declare a dividend prematurely.
Your Committee therefore approve of the
recommendation of the Direction to fuud
the whole debt, including that which it was
hoped the State would pay as her assessment,
by a new issue of coupon bonds bearing interest
at seven per cent., payable semi-annually
to the amount of two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars.
Your Committee approve of the action
of the Direction in reference to the important
subject of extending our road from
Greenville to the North Carolina line, and
from some point below Greenwood to conlicct
with the South Carolina Railroad at
or east of Aiken. As to this latter branch
upon which a partial survey has been made,1
your Committee are gratified to learn that
the grades are 60 light and the route in all
respects so inviting.
* Under ordinary circumstances it would
perhaps be prudent in our Company, as we
have now finished our original undertaking
to make no further expenditures in constructing
extensions or branches of our road, but
from the peculiar circumstances in which
J. V we find ourselves placed we have no option
s ?we must go further, or in the struggle of
'!,.V competition loose the ground wo have al*
ready occupied. It is not a question of
' ' standing still, but whether we shall advance
?or retrograde.. Your Committee approving
.the action of the Direction in the premises
. woukj lerive the whole matter in their hands
, .'to-coiuplete tbe contemplated surveys, nnd
j to take such further action as to them may
seem fit and proper to protect the interests
^ . %{ the Company and promote thfr general
prosperity andjwelfare of the country.
. -*V- -3With these suggestions thrown out in
i^great haste, and necessarily very imperfect,
you1" Coiflmittee would recommend the adoption
of, tbe following resolution to carry out
.Ithe measure of immediate importance to the
* - ^ i^Company.
C .'i?.'r ')TMeSolved, That the President and Direc"

"Henry Yornon; or, The Dream."
Tms is the title of a new volume just
published bv Jameb M. Smytiie, Esq., of
Augusta, Ga., of which he is also the author.
Wo acknowledge the reception of a copy,
and the great pleasure experienced in its
Udlli.
' Henry Vernon," is a story of love, misfortune,
intrigue and thrilling adventure,
founded partially upon fact, and occasionally
interspersed with beautiful episodes
and charming digressions. The scenes are
laid in Louisiana, France, England and
Spain. We do not pretend to say that
the work is above criticism; few, if any, can
: claim such exemption ; but we can unhesitatingly
pronounce it as interesting a story
as any we have read in a long while, and
have 110 hesitancy in recommending it to
j all who are fond of exciting stories. This
we do, too, with the more pleasure because
it is a production of Southern genius, aud
free alike from all moral, political or social
poison. He that reads the book carefully
and thoughtfully canuot avoid being instructed
as well as entertained.
The volume contains 0110 hundred and
forty-odd pages, neatly printed, and under
paper cover. Clubs of three or more can
obtain it at fifty cents per copy, by addressing
the author as aforesaid. We should be
pleased to make up a respectable clubWho
will go a copy J Will not every
friend of Southern literature who reads this
notice ?

Since th? date of our Columbia correspondence

Coli'mbia, S. C., August 27, 1835.
Bear Packet/: It is not every day that
I feel ina writing mood, nor is it often that
I can jump up anything to write about.
INews of everj* kind, both foreign and domestic,
seems to be in n elate of stagnation ;
and what little transpires is picked up by
the daily papers, and sent to all parts of the
world ns fast as Undo Sam's wagons and
the Railroad cars can carry it. Speaking
of Uncle Sam, reminds me of another creature
they call ''Sam" who seems to live, move
and have a being in the*e parts, and who,
if reports be true, is getting up a considerable
excitement wherever lie takes up his
habitation, and I think those are best oil'
who have least to do with him. 1
I am astonished that there should be found
in this enlightened State, a respectable portion
of any community or a single newspaper
that would advocate the doctrines
of Know Nothirtgism. But strange as it
may seem, in this very town?the fountain
head of literature and science?a city abounding
in wealth and fine churches, aud
famous for its liberality in every respect,
even here, it is Baid, that the American or
Know Nothing party is in the ascendency,
and can control all the electioiiB of this District.
I think it would be a good idea tor every
thinking aud prudent man who has any
idea of becoming a Know Nothing, to wait,
till they fix on a permanent platform, for as
it is, the planks appear to he loose, and at
every meeting some of them are slipped out
and others put in, or a crack left open ; and
if they aro just let alone they will wind
themselves up and gin out in a few "months
more. That's my opinion.
I see that, the proprietor of the Lexington
Telegraph proposes to establish a Know
Nothing paper here. If lie finds it a money
making business, I shall be greatly astonished.
The Times, I think, is getting a
little sick of the violent stand it has taken
on the Know Nothing question, and would
like to ease itself out of the scrape and
place the responsibility on the shoulders of
others who are not lookitur forward for len
r? - O
islative patronage?it is at least well enough
to be prudent. The Times, as well as the
Charleston ATeios, has been very severe upon
Col. Okr?the ''Demagogue of the
mountains1'?and his constituents, and I am
glad to see that the papers in that Congressional
District are paying but little attention
to what they say.
On Thursday morning last there appeared
an advertisement in the <yty papers,
giving the description of a man who had
stoleu a horse some where in Georgia, describing
the horse likewise. About noon of
that day, a man came riding through the city

soon overtaken and captured. lie has been

Rev. Doctor Palmer having beeu elected
to a Professorship in the Theologieul Seminary,
has tendered his resignation as pastor

and none I presume are belter beliked by
their congregation.
The Great Animal Show and Circus is
advertised to open here to-day, but, there is
a probability of a disappointment. Laat

by the intelligence that thi& Elephant, somewhere

was running at large and no one dared to approacli

I think upon tho whole, that all such exhibitions
are unsafe places for the youths
of our country to resort to. Tho Iqw vulgarity
and ohsceuo conduc t too often witnessed
at such places more than balance
against all that is good and amiable ; and
it generally tak<;sa<long time to get rid of
the pollution left behind by a vagabond set
of showmen. They are not only tleecing us
of our motley, but they are undermining the
very lotmuanon ot virtue, morality ami

Better to Make than to Mend.
We commend (he following suggestion
of the Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser to the
Know Nothing raft-builders of South Carolina.
It's a hard job to cut d?wn the Philadelphia
National platform to the dimensions
of South Carolina Sectionalism. Better
make a new one, and disfranchise Yankees
_ ii r i
hs wi'ii as .icwsann i.:uiiolics; as, according
to the notions ot' some of our people, the
former arc decidedly more dangerous to us
than the latter:?
Since the late elections, our Know Nothing
friends talk of re-organizing their order
on better and more popular principles. They
frankly admit that, as it stands, some of its
features arc ohjectionahlc, and that it should
l?e presented to the public in a more attractive
form. From the meeting of Know
Nothings here on last Saturday week, it is
obvious that they are about to give us, in
printer's phrase, a new edition of Know
Nothingism, corrected and improved by the
authors. This brings to our mind an incident
related of Pope, the poet, and his servant.
Pope during many years of his life,
was a mere wreck in body, and when he
looked at himself through a mirror, was almost
sure to exclaim, in an audible tone,
"God mend me !w On ono occasion, after
ejaculating, "God mend me!" with more
man usual cmpnasis, ins servant reprimanded
him in this wise: "You ask too much of
your Maker; for surelv God Almighty can
make a new man inucu easier than ho can
mend you."
We respectfully suggest that it would be
far easier to build up a new party than to
mend the Know Nothing Order, which is
evidently in the last stages of galloping
consumption.
Most Inhuman Murder.
A late number of the Ashville (N. C.)
JVeuw gives the following account of a murdes
in Yadkin county, in that State:?
"It appears that the murderer, Christopher
Itobbins, returned home drunk from a
tax gathering, late in the evening, and for
some real or fancied fault in an old negro
man, belonging to the family, fell upon hitn
with an axe handle and beat him cruelly ;
not conten^. he procured a heavy waggon
whip and commenced beating him with the
butt of it. The boy fled to the houpe, where
his mistress made an attempt to shield him
from further violence, upon which Robbins
knocked her.do^n, and fell flimin linnn
