Report Of tho Prsaidsnt af ftlia H? Line Bailroad. To the Stockholder* of the Atlanta and Richmond Air-Line Railway Company: Okstlduk?The President and Directors respectfully submit their t*e|>ort of the operations of the Company during the past year as follows: Since the mooting of the Stock* holders in June, 1870, the work then in progress on the Western Division, between Atlanta and Gainesville, Ga., has bceu prosecuted by the contractors engaged in its execution with energv and satisfactory despatch, completing the excavation, masonry and bridgjng op to the point but named about the 80th April, ult. The placing of tho superstructure, under direction oi tne Engineer, has been followed up as successive sections were opened, as actively as practicable. Ueavy -and protracted rains have some I--4. A 1 - wuM rmurueu operations; but a tew bftndrod feet only of rails remain to be placed at tbe Gaines will? end of tbe Division to com*, piete tli? continuous track to that point. Tbis will be effected during tbo present week, giving fiftythree miles of line opened and operating. Die track has beeu laid with a first class T rail, 56 pounds to tbe yard, coupled with tbo fisb bar joint, making, as fast as surfaced up, a substantial, safe and wellbuilt roadway. Depot buildings sufficient for the C resent wants of the Company have ecn provided at Atlanta and other points on the line. Others will soon be required at Gainesville and at two other intermediate stations. An equipment of four first class locomotives, two passenger and twenty-seven Burthen cars have been purchased and pnt to work on this part of the line. Ten other fiats ana dump oars have been en-, gaged to be delivered at an early day. This outfit is deemed fully eufiicient for the immediate wants \>l the Company, and bos already enabled it to open a profitable tratiic on the line now operating tbat (promises an early development of operations unusually large for a local road of limited extent. Reference in made to the report of the cbief engineer and superintendent, herewith suubmitted, for a detailed statement of the entire -expenditures of this Division.? From this it appears that the work on this Division, deducting the cost of equipment, amounts to less - than an average of Nineteen thousand dollars per mile. The work on the Eastern Division, under the contract with Mr. jP. P. Dickinson, ot Now York, for the construction of the line between Charlotte, N. C., aud Gainesville, Ga^ was put under way between Charlotte aud Spartanburg . during the summer of 18JQ, as early as complete and satisfactory surveys could dotermins definitely the most eligible location, and has been prosecuted with uniform activity and in the most satisfactory manner, entitling the-contractor to 'the -highest xontuleoee and respect 4 tlia a/vaunessav a VI ?>M?I bVUiJHWJi a MtIjfC 1UICU I Lm been kept constantly employ* ed in ike construction, and a large proportion of the line, of .about seventy miles, between Charlotte and Spartanburg completed. The line of abont thirty miles ;*n extent, between 8partanburg and Greenville, has also been put under aotive work, with considerable force during the lost sixty days. The continued proeeootion of the work in like manner dnriog the present year will secure the completion of the line tor age to Spartanburg, and probably much or most ot that to Greenville, on or before tbe 1st January, 1872. Arrangements bare been tnade for tbe delivery of about 2,000 tons of iron raits in tbe month of J une, soon thereafter to be placed upon the track; it being the purpose and desire of the management to open tbe line in sneesssive divisions?first to Spartanburg, thence to Greenvillei at eaoL* ?* which polnU, M reach*, conui buboes of business arp bspoctod ' valasblo nod important to'tBelncome of tbe Company 1 ?jui loro wiyUKUOUl 1110 llllU llflVQ been prosecuted with id! the di!f- ! gcnce practicable and at oonaid^r- I able exponse, with a view to tlie I proper and neceaaarj economy in I me cow ol construction and tbe fnture maintenance and operation of tbe Road. Much of tbe line though practicable, has been found difficult in affording such locations as were dceuied judicious wi h reference to tbe available means of tbe Company and the important considerations of grade, enrvatnre and saving ofjdistance. Especially in regard to the line from Gainesville, eastwardly, reference is made to tbe statements of tbe Chief Engineer in bis report herewith submitted, any disposition of questions suggested or arising thereon, trbicb the stockholders may desiro or prefer, should _ Jr ^ oe inatcaica now 10 Uio manageineut. In pursuauce of authority conferred by the stockholders at their last meeting, the Board of Directors in Juno last authorized and instrutted the President to have pre pared and executed at an early day a proper deed of trust or mortgage convoying the Comneby^s entire line, franchise and property, to sccuro an i?*uo of bonds at the rate of v^,00u per mile of the line to be need for the necessary purposos of the Company in the construction, equipment and operation of its line; said Bonds to run thirty years from their date, bearing interest at tho rate of 8 per cent, per annum, payable semi-annually, and Do in other respects in such form and with such usual stipulation as the President should prescribe, and the President was instructed to have said bonds prepared as soon as'convenient. litis resolution has been carried into effect as contemplated, and the securities thereon authorized securely provided for by the due execution and recordation of the proper deed therefor. This plan of a single mortgage having beon determined on as best for the interest of the company, of course it became necessary to retire so manv of the bonds on. dorsed by the State of Georgia at tbe rateof ?12,000 per milo of the Hue in that State, as had been heretofore issued. This has been done, and said endorsed bonds, $210,000 in amount, have been canceled in the hands of the Auditor of the Company. The fact of the present high credit of the compauy's 1st mortgage bonds, and their valuable uso in aiding the company* to push forward its work, fully vindicate the wisdom of adopting the present form of security in preference to such as the company would have been required to omploy in con nection with the endorsed bonds referred to. The encouraging prof;rcss of the work, its assured eary completion and its equal certuin value as a public highway and carrier when completed, having already fixed the confidence of capital in the safety and certainty of the company's securities as an in vestment. In conclusion, the Board, in re- i gnrd to the important and responsible though difficult duties committed to them in the care of the groat work represented by the i Company, will be allowed to con gratulato the late stockholders up- j on what has been accomplished already, aad the encouragoraents that are now afforded of the speedy realization of their most cherished hope* of successful completion. The considerations that distinguish your enterprise as one not only of great local value and importance, bnt also as a commandmound ooftnntin) olomntil in Miaav Knization of a great Piedmont Atitic thorough fare, has at length strongly impressed the intelligent sentiment of the country north and south of yonr lino. All interests are looking with marked attention to your progress, <?nd hail with satisfaction the broad clear dawn of your assured success, recognizing, as it docs, the power of your completed line when pro pcrly organized aa a grand and potent instrument in the restoration aud development of the immouse domain in which it penetrates and serves by its connections and influence, to that prosperity, beauty and value which nature has designed it to afford to the present as the generations to come.

The Twentieth Century What a grand field, for imagination and conjecture doee this theme suggest! It is quite be wildering, in view of the great achievements of tho nineteenth century in scientific discovery, in invents n, and the arts, and in material progress. A writer in the June number of tl?? f4olo**? has plunged into the vast field of speculation, recognizee as the difficulty of conceiviug results in the future that will bear favorable comparison with the accomplished facts of the past, lie thus impressively groope together the achievements of scieuce, invention, and art during the present century, and more especially of the last forty years: <k Fulton's steamboat, opening the nineteenth ceutury, furnished a new point of departure to modern comr.iercc and the art of navigation ; Davy's lamp gave ne>y possibilities to mining, and bonce to thn onnitK' "f ,1'~ _ w ?|-1" j VI AUVI UIIU IV IUU products of all manufactures; then, fort/ years ago, the first locomotive ran on the Liverpool and Manchester Railroad, revolutionizing travel and the carrying trade, and making it possible for mankind to plant the wilderness with cities and to take possession of the globe. Soon after, in 1838, a new era began in ocean navigation, when tlie Qrcat Western steamed across the Atlantic, from Bristol to New York, and on this followed Ericsson's screw propeller, that boon to commerce and to naval warfare. Morse gave us the elecs trie telegraph, Jackson and Morton the inestimable ether to deadon pain. The wondrous machinery of the forges and spindles in the iiops, mills and factories ofr the Shefiields and the Lowells began to work; ere long came mowers and reapers, iron Lulls, rifled cannon, revolving carbines, cbasso pots, nitro glycerine for blasting, monitors for sea fights, mitrailleuses, 20-ton, 80 ton guns, the ocean telegraph, new apcothctics or soothers of pain. The travelere meanwhile were spreading over the face of the earth. As Parry and Ross had oponed the Arctic Sea, so Wilkes unveiled the Antarctic Continent; Champollion found a key to tho hieroglyphics, unlocking Egyptian history, aud Layard unearthed Nineveh; travelers from Clapperton and Belzoni to Spekc and Livingstone penetrated the heats of Africa. Into domestic life came a swarm vi' ?k??u?al and mechanical appliances, substances interchanging their uses and tunc tions as if by necromancy?paper or ^rass ground to pulp and shop ed into whatever can bo made ot wood, even into wash tubs or race boats; india-rubber, by a " presto, change 1" doing the miracle ot half the metals; starch and sulphuric acid turned to syrups, beet roots to brandies, petroleum to cham pagne. Ten thousand labor saving devices, from the steam ^>low to the sewing tnachiue, crowd the Patent Office: our age has photography, with all its kiudrea arts, a new name fot each fresh ingoni ous process; we have the caloric engine, practical ballooning, the pneumatic dispatch ; we have coal oil, submarine armor, torpedoes. Wilson gave us gas light, which throws the eighteenth century, by contrast, among the "Dark Ages ;' Hoe gave us the cylinder press, making this aa distinctively the newspaper age as it is the iron age; and through some part of almost all our contrivances works leam, doing whatever and moro than ever mnsclo of man or beast has done these five thousand years, and making the table ot the Oyclops a dim foreshadowing of the mechanical common (daces of our day." The hnmble task is rcsorvod for the future of adapting, applying and perfecting inventions. For these the resources of mechanics and chemistry are yet to bo in yoked to their full possibilities. In tho sciences of surgery and modi cinc, much may yet be done for humanity, for these aro indefinitely progressive; but nothing can pale the glory of etlier, chloroform, caloral, and other anodynes. Tho great problem of transportation?44 transportation of material, of messages, ol men " is almost worked out to its highest practical triumph.

But in one item, at least, the acme ot improvement is reached?telegraphy ?and our imagination cannot ask for more. The putting "a girdle round the earth in forty minutes " is already surpassed, for now mes sages aro sent from London to , Bombay, a distance of six thousand miles bv tho IndoEurora?An lino Messages pass diicct from New York to San Francisco, over thirty live hundred miles of wire. Navigation through the air and under tho water still invites enterprise to strive for more practical results; but already balloons have become useful machines, and torpedo beats have been guided Unuer water. Tf tlnwo ?r? over to ( be made of great practical value, in peace or in war, it will wait for tho twentieth t??ntnrv I - ? j VtVUlVII' strate tho fact. Two-thirds of the ' nineteenth has scarcely more than 1 transpired. The remaining twen- \ ty-nine years will develop all that ! is valuable in either. But if little should bo loft tor development ot tho physical sciences, and for invention and art, 1 to the twentieth century, there is much to bo done iu the grander ' fields of social science, of politics < and government. It has become < axiomatic with how little wisdom mankind is governed. When we contemplate the inequalities in the < conditions of men?the burthens of taxation on tho man)', the bounties of special legislation to tho few, the horrors of bloody war? the craft of sycophants, the perse- i cations of bigotry, the insolence of 1 official power, the delays and do < nials ot justice, the thousand op- i pressions of the strong over the 1 weak, tho mind looks hopeially 1 yet anxiously to the reforms an l other gencratior and another ccn- I tury may achieve. It acknowl- i edges that the science ot govern- 1 meut is yet in its infancy, at least as to practical results. ( The dreams of the optimist may j rcquiro more than the next con- j tury to realize?more than may , over be^alized. The bloody con- i testa of the ninnfAnnfh have caused oceans ol blood to j flow. Yet, though human rights t are perhaps better understood now t than during the French rcvolu tion and the wars of tho great Napoleon, there is scarcely a spot on earth where they receive a fair recognition and practical enforcement. Even in England, tho freest nation on earth, the rights of tho people are overlaid i>y n. tnass of autiquated usages at war with the principles of equal justice and with a Cumbrous form of government which pampers a few favored families at tho expense of tho people. Wo do not look for tho Universal Republic in the twentieth century. Rut it is not improbable that it will be inaugurated with v/ist reforms in governments, and that though monarchies and crowns should not by ? that timo become obsolete, the}* , will bo shorn of much of their , false glitter and their corrupt ten \ deucies. *j - ?

Tho face was found in the road near the old Reed well, about forty rods below where the explosion occurred. Strange as it may seem, he could be identified by it,-although it was the mere outside? but the mouth, nose and eyes were preserved, also the moustache and a portion of his front hair tho eyes were open, the mouth wore a pleasant look, and the features predated an air of dignity as if absorbed in a deep study. A Sea Captain's Humane Act Punished. The Liberal Christian has the allowing anecdote from a gentlenan who was an eye-witness of he circumstance narrated: Tho thermometer often etands 'or days at from 109 to 117 decrees in the Red Sea, and when | lie vessel is with the wind, and raveling at about the speed ot the iiri tho lack of any breeze or ventilation makes life on the 6teamer ilm<>st insupportable. On this occasion four men and two women unong tho passengers were 8 o >vercomo with tho heat that the ihip's doctor reported that they nust die if the shin's course was lot changed and a breezo created >y traveling against tho wind.? Lhe captain very reluctantly, and n dire fear of his company's orlers, yielded to the cry of humanty, and steamed 100 miles back m his course. lie thus reduced ibe oppressive temperature twen* ty degrees, ventilated his ship, !iud saved the lives (probably) ot >ix passengers. Tho Government tinea tho company, (who excused tho captain, although not without n warning not to do it again.) ?1,[)00for going out of tho proscribed routo with hor Majesty's mails. A Sad Domksiio Tragedy.?A peculiarly and profoundedly sad rngedy has just occurred in RiplimAn^ lv V A Atl-O T.i.n~> L'errill was taken bcforo the County Court, discovered to be a lunatic, and ordered to be sent to the Lexington Asylum, ller actions were so dangerous to herself and others that it was necessary to have her closely bound.? Whilo in this condition, she was lying on the bed awaiting the arrival of the conveyance that was to take her to the asylum, her husband, who appears to have been strongly attached to her. and wlioeo heart had been pierced by tho irreinediableness ot his aMictiou, rushed up to where sho lay, cried out that his anguish was mpn? than ho coulvl a?d cutting his throat from car to ear ; t . i a ^ ?? c * a .

Then that last spark of reason died out, probably forovor, and, shrieking imprecations, she was borne to hor living tomb. This is indoed a domestic tragedy, the horror of which is not often equaled. * Galveston, June 6. A TcrribU Storm:?A terrible storm prevailed here? commencing Saturday at noon. The wind was southeast, and forced the waters of the Gulf on the island, covering to several feet deep the Southern part of the city. About two miles of the Q. II. II. Railroad is war lied away two miles above the city. Tbe bridge across the bay is safe. The steamship Alabama, of the Morgan Line, wiih a cargo of cattle and sheep from Uockport to New Orleans, went ashore twenty mites west of here on Sunday, and will probably be a wreck. Tbe bark Virginia Dare, from Cardiff to Galveston, wilb a cargo of railroad iron, went down about six miles east of here on Sunday night. The crew, consisting of fourteen men, ware rescued yesteiday from the masts, where they had been lathed since three o'clock Sunday tnorning. Many build ings have been washed away from the lower part of the city. On the Gulf Ueach no lives were Io*t. The vtloci'y o( the wiud Sunday night at ten o'clock was thirty-nine miles per hour. Six inches of rain fell since Saturday, 2 P. M. The storm also prevailed to a great exlent at IIou;tou, doing much damago. Brutal Murpkr in Darlington.?We lenrti from the Darlington Index, that on Saturday or Sunday last, near Cartersville, in that county, William Sims woe brutally murdered, and his son and daughter?the latter the wife of the murderer?badly wounded by one Sanders. It appears that in consequence of a complaint made to him (Sims) by the wife of Sanders, that she did not have enough to eat, Sims and his son came to see her, iuteuding to take her home with the m. Nnitti K?l?nitin /I 5 |I? ? ? ?uc threats of Sanders, all three started for Sims' bouse. When they had enter ed a field not far from the house Sanders came up. behind them and ordered them to halt. Upou their refusing to do so he fired at them, instantly kill* ing Sims, and badly wounding his wife and brother in-law. A second shot was fiied, but it is not known whether it took effect or not. San ders has not yet been arrested at lost accounts. ?? ? Important Decision?Newspaper Supplements.?In a late Virginia ex* change we find the following: Newspaper Supplements.?A decision of some importance to newspapers has just been rendered in the United States District Court at Cleveland,Ohio. Many newspaper publishers have a fash ion of folding in their papers advertising sheets, circulars or nnilon oc.i. ~ ? , | """""' 6 (bat by printing " supplement " at the head they evade the United States statute made and provided for such practices. Mr. A. K. Brown of the Alliance (Ohio) Monitor, labored under this illusion, and was indicted and convictea. In this connection we would state thai we have had an interview with Postmaster Trolt, in which his opinion on the subject of the transmission of those Supplements by mail was asked. Without having seen the paragraph above, Mr. Postmaster Trott expressed the same views as are contained in the decision alluded to above. That a bona fide supplement might be sent out folded in the paper, but that a single advertisement which accompanies a pa per is not*a supplement or extra in contemplation cf law. [Charleston Courier. 1IJK IN EW UOUNTY OF AlKEN. On Saturday, May 27th, the commissioners appointed to select the 6ite for the Court llouee and jail of Aiken County, held a meeting. Senator F.

After silencing Prince Rivera, and one or two of his friendsi who were dispoeed to delay matter and occasion discord, the coinmiUion* era examined plans and estimates submitted for the erection of the contemplated buildings, and were convinced that suitable ones could not be erected tor less than fifty thousand dollars. Not wishing to tax tho citizens tor this purpose, it was resolved to petition the I cgislaturc for lea\ e to issuo bonds for the amount required, upon the credit ot tue county. iiiu eu? w the buildings Was not determined upon, but a committee was ap* pointed for that purpose.

Liquid Manlkk.?A barrel or hogshead, for liquid manure, should be kept in a convenient place in all gaidens. Plants can only avail themselves of manure in a liquid form, and valuable fertilizers are often lost by remaining undissolved in the gi-ound too long. Dissolve at tho rate of one pound of pure Peruvian guano, or two pounds of dry hen manure in ten gallons of rain water, and apply to your plants, say once a week, just at night fall or before a shower. The liquid manure should not fall upon the leaves or stems of plants, but should be evenly sprin Kica over tue roots, the ground having boeu previously stirred a little with a pronged hoe. If tho plants are mulched, this stirring will uot be necessary, aud the benefits of the liquid manure will be more certainly secured. Give the Boys a Patch.?One of the surest methods of attaching a boy to the farm is to lot hitn have something upon it for his own.? Give him a small plat of ground to cultivate, allowing him the proceeds for his own use. Lot him have his steers to break or his sheep to care for. The ownership of even a fruit tree planted, pruned and brought to bearing bj' his own hands, will inspire him with an interest that no mere reward or wages can give. In addition to the cultivation of taste for farm life which such a course will cultivate, the practical knowledge gained by a boy will be ot the highest value. Being interested, he will be more observant, and will thoroughly learn whatever is necessary for his success. Another and equally important ndvant age will be the accustoming him early to feel responsibility. ? Wiio is Youit Fkiend f?Who is your friend? Nut the boy, or giif, man or woman, who tries to lead you astray, tempt you to do wroDg, roocka. at sacred things, or gives you bad a(N vice or bad example. Such a person is your enemy. Listen not to them. Who is jour fiiend? The person who tells you to do light, to walk in? truth, to be failhfvi in good words; theperson w ho urges you to pray, to studyGod's Word, to be always at churchy to look forward to full membershipwith his people, to grow in grace, and' in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. Such a person is your true* fiiend. Listen to him.
