Tho annual convention of the Stockholders af thc Columbia- and Augusta Railroad as- J* ;emb!cd in Columbia, on the 1st inst. Thc President, Col. WM. JOHNSTON, of Charlotte, vas called to thc Chair, und-Col. WM. CRAIG, )? Augusta, appointed Secretary.' After thc Convention was organized, Col. fouMSToN the President, read his report, as j bllows : J To thc Stockholders of the Columbia and c i Augusta railroad Company: Gentlemen : The President and Directors , 0* peet ful ly submit tho following report of J ho progress and condition of your road for j he last twelve months: . It is wul known that in addition to thc ( urvejs, a considerable amount of graduation 'j .nd masonry done on the road during the J ?ears 1SG'4 and 1805, nnd paid for in Con- ? aderat': currency, at comparatively a small |; 03t. Forces were kept at work until the ? urrendcr, soon after which a company force ti ras organized and placed upon the graduation, g By degrees contractors were engaged, and bout two hundred hands were employed in c he prosecution of the work from July, 1805, ti o youHast annual meeting, hell in Augusta ti n thc 5th of October, lS6?. Upon there- p rganiaation <of tho company at that time, it t FaV'lill! si'itse1uf ' iTi^si?eklicTacr?rtlibfcHba. 3 cork should progress ns rapidly ns'possible, nd to as speedy a'completion us the. means c if tho company and the condition of the ountry would*justify. In conformity to this ? ^pression nf sentiment the Chief Engineer c proceeded to let contracts io-iil a force of a even hundred hands v.vre cm played in thc n muling atid masonry. This ?bice hus made c ach progress for thc last six or eight months, g hat more than two-thirds of Ihc graduation (j s n AV ready for thc rails, between Granite nile and Columbia ; and hy the first uf Feb- J uar)' next almost the entire masonry and . wad bcd will be read;, for the rails. The .; iridge across the Congaree river constitutes ( he heaviest rock~work on thc ruad. It will - ;o about. 1,000 feet long, and is intended for j in iron super-strucluro. a This work is rapidly progressing, under thc. ( ?nterprising contractor^ Messrs; Henderson i md Martin, and will br- read)- for the super- ? (tructu're thc 1st of February next. For ' nore detailed information in regard to the ( ?ondition of the work, your attention is invi-' J ed to tho report of the Chief Engineer, herc- I ,vith submitted. ( Ai the subscription to thc capital stock was nade'when thc currency was* materially de- ] prec?alo 1, thc s)?ckh'o!dcVsjat their lasf. An- J mal Meeting resolved to reduce the capital. ? .vhich amounted to ?1,1)3'?, 1)71, to one-?burlh i -if that amount. This made the stock ac- ' 1 ?Ounl ?483,49-2 when brought to its actual ' ra'ue. Snb?equcnUy,?dditional subscriptions y :o tho stock have been made to the amount ^ .f over $20,000, making the capital sub- 1 .cribed over ?500.000. This amount will f dill bc increased by'thc stock to bc issued iii payment of contractor* for labor and materi- ' tis when their contracts are completed* For more specific information in regard to :ho receipts and disbursements, as well as thc J roneral financial condition of the Company, '. your attention is invited.to thc report and cx liibits of thc Treasurer. 1 With thc assets of thc Compan)- on hand' j ind the amount.tlill due for Cotton and on 1 ?lock, with the sums that tho friend? of thc , Rond are assured will be subscribed at the | Lcrminal points and by thc citizens along thc ? [inc, in cash and in payment-of work and ? materials, it is believed that:'yoiir stock sub scription will amount to between seven and Bight huudrcd thousand dollars before the :i>mpletioii of the Road.. With this basis on a Road so commanding ] in position, connecting two important citifs7, l constituting a main link in what is destined i lb bc the principal linc of through travel ! from Now York to New Orleans, penetrating < a fertile, healthy, and beautiful COUntry, yield- I ing a fine local business, it will surely have 1 the credit to supply all the materials neces- 1 sary tc its onmpletion. The principal portion 1 of these may bo purchased on a credit of six i or ci;:bt months after delivery, by which time 1 the Road can he finished, trains run through, and its credit established, when its bouda will command their value and the debt ran be funded by a sale of thc same. S:ncc your last annual meeting tour Direc tors, in conformity with the provisions of the Charter, authorized thc President, when necessary, to issue Bonds of thc Companv to a:i amount not exceeding one million dollars, secured by a mortgage of the Road and fran chise willi all its rights the property of every . kind. As tho Company still has some means on hand and lins not borrowed one dollar or paid any interest or commissions, the exten tion of the morl gage and issuance of tho Bonds have not bc^j necessary. In thc purchase of thc rails this .will he chine necessary, and it is recommended that the Stockholder*, confer tho same authority upon thc President whenever, iii his opinion, it may bc necessary fo complete the road. Thc Chnrter authorizes thc Directors to issue Bonds and execute a mortgage, but the act might derive additional confidence from the authority of the Stockholders. While it is believed that six or eight hun dred thousand dollars of Bonds will be suffi cient to complete tho work, it is very desira ble to make the authority ample, in order that only one lien and one class of Bonds may bc issued, and all embraced in ono gene ral mortgage upon the entire property pf the Company. Much embarrassment has arisen toother Railroad Companies from various j liens and different classes of securities issued ' by them. Tho President willfeel authorized to issue only so many as may be actually f necessary lo complete and:equip the emiie Road. N r ? . -- i - i .. -. "With-this.toad completed, the tlistauec by rail between Columbja. aud Augusta will bo /educed from one hundred and forty-three lo eighty miles, making an actual saving of s'ix-' ty-three ni?oV bc?wccr? those points. With Wp ordinary >peed of trains-on thc South Carolina Railroad, with thc unavoidable de-' Uys afc Branchville and Kirfgsville, and.with trains-run through from Charlotte to Augusta, thc'practical saving in lime and distance, will . be fully equal to six hours, or oue hundred." milos, to all travelers .going ls or th or South. With thc completion ol the Augusta and Mil Jcdgevillc and Ibo Mobile and Girard Rair roads, bothjiqw. under construction and des ti?ed^ to bennishedbtibro your road, thc route to New Orleans "from Augusta will be shor tened ?v?r seventy'miles more-thus making a saving in distance of about one hundred and seventy miles, and "from ten to twelve hours in time-to all travel ?r?tn Mobile iff Charlotte-and the same to all points further North or South-while the passengers to At lanta? Montgomery, Nashville,-Memphis, etc., wilbpractically gain oue hundred, miles in distance. Such saving in the progresa JOI* the age cannot exist without its attractions for the through travel, trade, express and mail J matter to a very largo portion pf the south west and northeast of the Unitod States. With this road in operation, "the traveler going to Augusta or beyond, and not going to Charleston, passes east of Lynchburg going south-he will find it the shortest,'cheapest and quickest line to pass over your road. The steamboat lines frem Now York aud Bal timore to Portsmouth, Norfolk, Morehead City, and Wilmington, with the Virginia Cen tral, Richmond, aud Fredericksburg R'.-HC1, including thc Richmond and Danville, Sea-, board and Wilmington routes, with'tbe North Carolina Roar), will all have a direct interest in sending their through trade and travel over this Road. Even thc traveler from Wilmington, when j-j bc reaches Kingsville, will lind bis shortcut , route via Columbia to Augusta. .It shall, :hereforo,J)e to the greatest interest ot over fourteen hundred miles cf railroad South of Washington and North op Columbia, acid >vcr one thousand1* mild of steamboat'lint- ,j rom New York, Baltimore, and Washington ?ify, to invite through business over your . [toad. 'So with the Ronds South-and West, d' Augusta from Atlanta, Montgomery, Co umbus, Thomasviile, and Savannah. When ho traveler reaches Augusta, this route brough Columbia presents the greatest in- U lucemcnts. by annihilating time aud distance. ,? ts completion will do much to restore the Vi rade and travel through North and South ?, ?arolinn lost by the construction of tho Easl r tennessee and Virginia and other more L ?orth-.rn, routes. Its command tug position, iith thc appreciation placed upon its stock cc y an intelligent public, causes it tost! 1 high r in the unfinished condition of thc work > ban that of a majority of roads now in the re ?c-uth iu full operation. !;>?.<. u. With ordinary prosperity restored to thc . ountry, the gross income of tho Road ought ?j 5 amount to ??400,000. and thc net income 3 ?$200.000. This would be equal to ten .< er centum upon ?2,000,000 of Capital, while \>{ he estimated cost of the entire eighty miles .i ?-4fts*~.than ?1,000,000.. .This wouid'bea. ? ?oderate income, comparing it jvith those of .? onnccting-Roads, in the years jS?iJ-;o"0.
