Being very lengthy,we are forced to condense it to suit our limited space, | < r"-?V. ....J, ~UV.. I/V7...U..O UVVUI V>. j ' most interest to our reader : '1 lie President and Directors say, that in i consequence of the failure of the Company I to obtain aid from the legislature at the < last session,!! h?c"m?* necessary to restrict the work of construction on tbo road with. I ; in the limited moans which remained at the !, disposal of the Iioard. These were so ' small in amount that immediately after the i adjournment of the legislature, the Hoard | issued orders for n general suspension of work on the road. The construction of the road was, aeeor- | dingly, wholly discontinued in Tennessee, ! and also in Ceorgia, with the exception of I a very heavy embankment, known as the j Whitmire Fill. In North Carolina no work has ever been : done. In South Carolina all the grading was j suspended except the cmbarkmont over the Seneca Hottom. and the deep cuts known as Lomax's and Lawiiknce's. The on. tractors on these sections of the road, and also on the Whitmire Fill, wore permitted to continue work on their consenting to re- | i duee their force so that their estimates should not exceed a proscribed amount. At the time the work was suspended, the heading of the Middle Tunnel was driven I through, and in a few weeks it could have ! been finished. Twenty per cent, of the ! I Saddle Tunnel was done. Messrs. Hum! bikd, Hitchcock & Co. continued tin- ox- | vacation of tin* Stump House Tunnel under a restriction that their monthly estimates should not exceed ten thousand dollars ? The difficulty and hardship <>f dismissing the large uumber of workmen, whom it would be necessary to discharge in order io comply with this condition, has prevented its exact performance. The length of the tunnel is 58?;.J feet. *2375 lineal feet of heading were dune at the date of the last report. Since that time, employing a little over one third of a full Joree, the contractors have done 1,887 lineal feet of heading, leaving only 1,600 feet to lx> done. Tables are shown whieh present a full exhibit of the work originally to be done, and how much of it was completed on 1st November, 18.08. From these tables it appears "that the grading in South Carolina is more than double the grading in Tennessee, with the same length of road ; and is nearly equal to the whole grading in North Carolina and Tennessee, one hundred and twenty-six miles. The tunnelling in South Carolina exceeds all the tunnels on the line ; and the bridge and aroh masonry in South Carolina is nearly equal to uli the bridge and arch masonry of the whole Road. The cost of the road in South Carolina and Georgia, w hich is 70 miles in length, and thirty-five per cent, of the dis tunce lo Knoxville, is fifty-eight percent of the estimated cost of the whole road." mm.:., :i ,.r ?i... i i....... t....... J III! I ("til llllivn HI llll' ll'iill II.IM' l^'I'll I finished front Anderson to Pendleton. The most difficult and costly |>art of the construction of the road occurs in the first sixty miles from Anderson. Within that distance the Blue Ridge is surmounted. Beyond that, an inspection of the tables of "work to be done," will show that the construction ill be easy. When the Rabun (iap is reached, the construction of the road can he rapidly advnncud to lvnoxville. The difficulties of the work occur at the begin ning, in South Carolina. Until these aru overcome it would be an injudicious expenditure of the Company's funds to proceed wit'.i track-laying. For the Directors have always announced to the Stockholders that unless the road ho completed from Anderson so as to connect with the rail roads and nuvign.de waters of the Mississippi Valley, at Knoxviile, it will not compensate for the cunt of construction. The Chief Knginecr re-artirins, in hi* lost i report, that which wim shown hy a detailed statement to the Committees of tlie l<egis- I latnre, nt the last session, that, so far as | the work lias beon done, it is within the estimate of the cost which he made and submitted to the Stockholders at their meeting in 1850. Mis estimate of the cost of colu struction, exclusive of the equipment ot the road, amounts to #7.725,<>77. Within two months past, two counties in North Carolina have resolved to subscribe each #50,000. Two other counties are expected to follow their example, and the B >ard have received reliable assurance that the individual sob- i scription list will be enlarged. The report of the President and Directors j conclude with the following ; The construction of the road must be ! wholly abandoned after the next month, unless the State grant* aid to the Company It is unnecessary to recur to the legislature at its last session. All the incidents of the progress of the bill through the stages of legislation, show ed that it was regnrded with favor, although it was ulti. mutely lost by a small vote in the Senate The press generally, throughout the State, I depreeatcd the abandonment of the road by | the State. Such n result should not be permitted without a fuitlvcr trial. It is, therefore, recommended that the ; I petition presented at the last session of the ! legislature ^e renewed nt the next session, ( | for the rslense, by the State, of the eondi tion precedent to its guarantying one mil. , lion of the honds of the company, and that !

"Sanded Cotton," whet does the pit rase noun ? From New York to New Orleans Iho papers have raised a cry about "sanded j Cotton," and yet have given the farmers, ^ who uru very 1.1,1 mi n aujuseu, uo aciuuuon i>v ivhich they can possibly understand its : meaning. The .Cotton supply Association of Man- ! chestcr, started the phrase, the New York Chamber of Commerce echoed their mas 1 lers ery in sundry resolutions, displaying a considerable amount of ignorance on the subject. If "sanded cotton" means fair cotton with white sand scattered through j the bale to make weight, their complaints , are just and no person v\ ill inveigh more against the practice, than the planters of | the South, who, are admitted generally to j he n high toned people. Hut, if on the other hand they mean simply dirty cotton of j the lower grades, we protest against the foul imputation of fraud, and say we act i honestly and fairly in the matter. Mow is cotton sold by the sample. If then the j sample is a fair index of the whole bale, no fraud is intended and none practised, either on the intermediate purchaser or the manufacturer Knelt party (seller and purehaser) sees the sample, examines it closely and agrees upon what the eotton is worth. The cotton supply association gives the amount of dirt or sand whipped J out of several bales of uottun, but take 1 good care not to state what tliul grade of Cotton cost either in New Orleans or Liverpool. If they had done this the cotton \ raisers wou.d have understood their meaning. The cotton planter has the same right to carry a low dirty grade of eotton to market as the manufacturer lias, to place llimsey and badly gotten up cloth of any j description nil the market (or sale. I.el (lie : planter buy ."lines or any other artiele, made tor the purpose of imposing on the pur i chaser and bringing money into the pock- I eta of the manufacturers. l et kitn go to the merchant and show the imposture, what j reply does he gel ? I can't help it. we sold I the articles as we purchased! I am not to I blame ! The manufacturer is the guilty i person ! There is no talk of redress in ; this case, matter how great the fraud "C'arra/ r?i/i/nr" is the rule with the plan- ; ter, and should he also with the luatiutae- i turcr. The planters are asked to make big crops and send good cotton to market. These ] two things depend upon tin* seasons, if; there is much rain in September and October very tittle fair cotton, comparatively, will be scat to market, especially by those i who plant on red clay lands. If eolton is gathered fast in the tirst of the season, the j crop may he sent to market tolerable fair, ! although a little leafy, and we then hear I the ciy of too much leaf. It cotton is! gathered sloa and neat the first part of the 1 season, a fev bales of line cotton reaches , market, but x huge amount of cotton nee- j essnrily falls on the ground, whn-h is made I very dirty bv the tirst dashing rain that tails, t.ottou gathered III this Stale, some | planters attiriu, yields Jin in in-li it' not m >r?- money limn clean cotton, In tin* e.x- | tra weight.
