Railroad Company :
Gentlemen : Tho President and Directors
have the honor, rebpcctiullv, to sub
mit the following roport lor the iLoal year
ending June 30, I860.
We weie repairing tho heavy damages
oaused by tho great frcshot of January,
1865, when a portion of Sherman's army
Eassed over the lower ond of our road,
uruing tho bridgo and a portion of the
trestle at Beaver Crock, two spans of the
Broad River bridge, some box cars, our
Steam saw mill, and much valuable timber
at different points along the line. All the
depots below tho river were burned.
Our engines and cars, too lew by far for
the work required, woro in bad order, on
soeount of the heavy demand made upon
them during the war, and almost every
thing, in fac;, pertaining to the road was
in want of repair.
Xhus, at the oloao of tho war wo had
neither money nor orcdit, having lost by
the Confederate Government about ?140,000,00
for transportation due.
The Greenville & C. II. R. Co. hesitated
for somo months; whether they would re
build their old line down the river valley,
Or out off and adopt a new lino on the west
side of tho river. They decided at length
to rebuild their own line.
We commenced to rebuild the lower portion
of our road in January last. I'or tho
want of means, the great scarcity of timber,
the unreliability of the labor, and the
heavy work to be done, we have met with
Ti.. -?
ujmi j uiuiuumun. 1 ui) blCKIIl'SS 111 IUC
valley of the river commenced much earlier
this year than usual, and has been very
prcvaleut with our hands. Wo huvc had
to cut aud haul our timber with our own
hands and teams. Wo have mot with disappoinmenta
in our engagements which
have seriously returded the woik.
The importance of paying laborers
promptly, whose families are dependent
upon them for their daily support, besides
tho ucoessity cf furnishing iood to the laborers
themselves, has been a matter of
considerable concern, and much trouble.
The cuts and embuukments on the whole
road, and especially on the lower end,
were inado originally too narrow, consequently
many of tho embankments were
depressed by tho freshet, and the cuts lilted
up by the heavy subsequent rains. The
timber which decays much faster iu the
valley of tho river than elsewhere on the
road, hHS decayed very rapidly since that
portion was abandoned to tho weeds and
grass.
A new bridge and trcstlo have been
built over Owen's Creek, also a new bridge
at Beaver Creek, with most of tho trestle
made new. Most of the gaps made in the
embankments near Alston kavo been tilled
by trestles ; some of these should bo refill
ed by eartli, as soon as practicable, especially
the ono on the wing Lank in Colonel
Alston's field.
We have hired a locomotive from the
Charleston & Savannah R. R., at S15. per
day, which is now being used in construction
and ditching. Expect to run it to
Sheltonbythe first of September next,
and in a short whil j thereafter will corn
mance doing a through business.
The bridge ut Broad River must be rebuilt
entire at once, and this it is hoped,
will be accomplished by the first of January
next. When the burnt spans aro replaced
it is proposed to transport pusscn
gers and freight for most of the time while
the remainder is being finished, over the
river on push cars, thus avoiding tho do
lay and expense of ferrying. But the
Company should raise the means to rebuild
this bridge, as well as to pay for some neo
essarv expenses which have already been
ioourred,
Unwnccount of the great difficulty of
getting timber during the war, the portion
of our road above the river was much in
need of repair. Since July of last )car
there havo been put in tho tract between
the river and Spartanburg over 20,000
Cross ties. Arrangements have been made
with a steam mi11 company for delivering
ou the lower portion of the road, a large
number of sawed tics and other lumber.
By the end of tho year yuur roud will
be in better running condition than it has
been for many years. Under the manage
ment of our skilful master-machinist, Mr.
James Benner, another engine will soon
be brought out in good order.
Tho trains havo been running three
times u week from Spartanburg to tho river,
48 miles, and the total receipts from
passcngois have been, 8 8,407.55
Total receipts from freight, 11,123,40
Making a total of, 819,530,05

Reference to the reports of our worthy t
and eflioiout Secretary and Treasurer, Mr. '
F. 11. Counts, herewith filed marked No's.
1, 2, 3, and 4, will explain more in detail, ]
the business and operations of the road i
Considering the limited line of our operations,
the crippled oondition of our mo I
tire power, there having been for months
but one locomotive, which oould run at all,
and it in bad order, the hnrh nriw nf ?l.
most everything, oupeoially of provisions
and railroad supplies, the distracted aud
despondent oondition of the couutry, we
submit that the above exhibit of our busi
ncss and operations is as satisfactory as
could have been expected. Unfortunately
for the country there are many persons
who are disposed to sit in judgment, and
oensuro the manner of rebuilding our rail
roa ls than they are to come forward and
give their assistance.
The railroad has become almost a nocessity
to this portion of the State, by reason
of its remoteness from market, the change
of our labor system, and the present irn
poverished condition of much of our land
In tiuics of abundant crops this ready trans
portatiun is neoeasary for carrying off the
surplus, while in times ot great scarcity,
such as are now impending, it is absolutely
necessary in order to avert great desti
tution and want, if not actual starvation.
The very poor huvo not teams to go to
market, jmd in the season of the year when
those who have, oan sparo theirs best, our
common roads are generally almost impassible
But wo look to a regeneration of
our lands and an ontiro change of ouragri
culture. Possessing a delightful climate,
such seasous th..t the laborer may work
through the whole year, excel ent water
and good health, two of the greatest bless
ings on earth, this whole upcountry must
uod will be reclaimed.
The soil in its virginity was good and
productive, hut instead of making tho natural
elements auxiliary to its increased
fertility, we havo adopted iti most instances
by shallow plowing and other mismanage
mcnt, the surest means for its deteriora
tion. The principal elements still remain;
by deep plowing and he ivy manuring, our
lands will become very fertile and roinu
uerativc.
The Railroad Companies should trans
port all fertilizers at rates just sufficient
to pay expenses, they will be fully compensated
in the increased products return
ed over the road, besides inducing and
cnubling the citizens and labor of the
Stnto to remain in it. In souic of the
States at the North, though laboring under
the disadvantages of a severe and rigorous
climate, and of soil naturally poor, yet by
high manuring and u judicious and close
system of agriculture, their lands exceed
in value, ouis, by many hundred per cent.
Their policy has been to return to the soil
in fertilizers, a portion ot the money made
off of it. Ours, to exhaust the soil by
constant working, returning almost notb
ing; invest the proceeds in negroes, and
then move West Though their lands are
permeated by a perfect net work of Rail
roads, yet their receipts far exceed ours.
For instanco, on one road in Connecticut,
24 miles long, their gross receipts last year
were over ?100,UOU, on another 02 miles
long, their receipts were over ?000,000.
From Providence, It. I., to Worcester,
Mass, 40 I 2 miles, the gross earnings
were over ?.">43,000, while the nctt earnings
were over ?140,000.
Except, as to i ho abundance of labor, and
its skill, wo have the great superior advantage
of climate, water power in superabundance,
besides the great staple, cotton
right at our doors.
As to the products of the soil we know
of nothing which we cannot raise as well,
from tlio hop or onion, to wheat or corn
besides some important ones, which they
cannot crow at all.
The stock is subscribed and officers elected
for an air lino road from Charlotte, N.
C., to Atlanta, Ga. Wo are infoiincd that
they are about to commciico this work,
which will so much shorten the distances

This road it' built mi an air line will
strike ours at I'aoolet Dep'?t, a slight divergence
inay curry it by Spartanburg (J.
II. This road will give our people the
advantage ot all the leading markets of
the country. It will in all probability
pass near the Limestone Springs, thus
opening up inexhaustible quarries ot lime,
and atiording the means ot cheap and ctli
cient manures. With this roid, and the
contemplated roads to tho CoalGolds in N.
(J-, finished, a new impetus will ho given
to tho iron manufacture in the Spartan
District.
The Legislature at its lust session passed
an ct authorizing our company to issue
$400,000,00 ot bonds to he used in
the extension und building oi tho road to
Columbia, and to have the first lien on
the whole ro-.id when completed. It the
road can be extended, as proposed, for this
amount, it would add immensely to the
business of the roud, besides opening up
large fields of fine pine timber, which
would vory much diminish our expenses.
It is lor you to say what arrangement
shall bo made in regard to the coupons of
our bonds now past duo.
We cuunot closo this report without di
reeling your attention to the polar stur of
our railroad aspirations, we mean the importance
and necessity ot carrying out to
completion, that grand project which thirty
year* ago, commanded ae much ol tho tab
? ' I 1111 1 .
But and influence of the country?tho
Louisville and Cincinnati railroad. If the
reasons were good then, they are as good
to day, tho same immutable laws of nature
point to the valley of the French Broad,
u the natural route for a railroad between
tho North West and the Atlantic seaboard,
the uiost practicable route by fur, as so
leoted and adopted, alter long, patient,
praetioal investigation by tho combined
science, skill and wisdom of the country.
We are not surprised that the State of
South Carolina, and tho City Council of
Charleston, should have been committed
to a rival route, since so much talent and
influence, have bceo brought to its support.
The Committees from Charleston who
lately visited the West on the matter of
extending the Blue llidgc road take for
granted in tho couiparisou of their route
with ours that certain roads between Knoxvillc
and Cincinnati will surely be built,
which are not; they speak of our projected
lino as if it were absolutely necessary
for us to go direct to Cincinnati, and they
proceed to measure off the distances, without
noticing what progress is being made
_ 1 1 _ _
uircuuy on our way. i ney propose to start
in the race at Knoxvillc, but will have us
to begin at Paris, Kentucky.
We will grant their assumptions and
uiuk" the comparison from Knoxville which
they tailed very signally to do. Which is
tho cheapest and shortest route from Knoxville
to Charleston ?
From Charleston to Knoxville, via Anderson,
llabuu Gap, to Knoxville,
452 miles.
From Charleston to Knoxville, via Sp^
tanburg, French Broad, Morristown,
to Knoxville, 425 miles.
Making a difference of 27 miles in favor
of our route.
The cost of the Blue Ridgo route, 198
miles long, 87,500,000.
The cost ot the French Broad
route, 161 miles, 82.735,090
Making a difference of 84 704.910,
in favor of the French Broad route. But
they have built on the Bfue Ridge road 33
miles, at a cost of 82,924,119, leaving yet
to be finished 165 miles, four utiles more
than the distance from Spartanburg to
Morriatown, and requiring according to
their own estimates, to build this unfinished
portion, $4,500,000, while the whole
amount to build the road from Spartan
burg to Morriatown is 82 735,080,081, being
a difference of 81.704,491, as to those
unfinished portions
But the Honorable Committees, ignored
altogether the existence of the Cincinnati,
Cumberland Gap and Charleston Railroad
Company. This Company has a charter
for a road from Paint Rock, on the North
Carolina and Teunossoe State line, via
Morristown, Toon., to Cumberland (4 a p. a
distance of 95 miles, and is a portion ol
our line of extension.

and the Company has, as we are inform

consequently it is always coming off, and
mice arc not kept out of the barrel. To
prevent this annoyance, take the top hoop,
after the head of the barrel is removed,
