The- Greenville and Colum. bia Railroad Company. The annual report of the opera tions of the Grdenville and Col umbia Railroad Company,for th4 year ending December 31, 1868 shows that the gross earningi fram nli, sources were '$345,543 from which are deductdd 6196, 231, for current or ordinary ex penses, and.$20i000 for rebuildinj and improving locomotives an( cars, rebuilding trestles anc brilge, andi. for the permanenw improvement of the road, ~ nol properly included in the workinp expenses, leaving-a net income o: 8129,812. This net income wai applied to. the paymeat -of ao counts chargeable to maintenanit of way and conducting transpor tation priorJ to. 1868, and to ti rpdeuctjft of bills payable. Al the pay rolls for 1868 have beei payed, and the materials used if Wbat year paid for. The earnings for the past yea vere greater than tho' earningi of* any previous year except 1859 and 1860 and the three last year4 of the war. The number of pas ongers carried In 1668 was 45,214 Ar 13,013 more than in 1867, and Lhe number of bales of cotton 45,. II or 15,828 bales more than in 1867. These results, Prosidem H aimIett says, "Iu6t be gratif ing to all interested in the prom peity ofthe road and the coutntr3 hiroigh which it paiei, and clear ly do monstrate t at the road ha oassed through its greatest tria4 'nd difllculties, aL1d can in the Alture sustain and pr-otect it. It, is expected that the earn tiga for the present year will be argely in excess of the earningE ,f 1868. For thequar-ter ending Uarch 31, 1869, the gross' carn ngs were 120,677, or $16,905 noro than the earnings o 0the cor. i-esponding months of 1868. No ess thenl 6,000 tons of' guano and >ther fertilizers were seit Up the -ond in.the same period, and, not. ithstanding the large increase, atll fr-eights have jeon promptlY orwarded totheirl sever-al poiin t f destn.inItionl. A thr-ough ar uhngeme t, made wi h the Souti IIol in. Railiroad Company, by which fieights, both up and dowii, tre sent. I hrough without brealk itg bulk in Columbia, has also fa ilitated the transportation o; reights to a very considerable ex. bent." The increased business looked1 or dur'ing the year, will make no. 3essary an addition to the rolling~ toek ; but this is expected to bc btained by repairing 'and rebuild ng old locomotives, and by build. ng new freight car's, all whichi aan be done without a large ad. litional expense except for mator. at, some of which is on hand, Since January last, 250 tons oi raewv rail have been purchased andJ paid for', and are now being laid lown ; and it is believed that miuch of the worn iron may be re placed in a few years "wvithout 'e. :lucing the net income below a~ point wvhich will be necessary tc neat all exp.onses, and pay all the nterest on the bonded debt, whlen acadjusted, p)romptly as it ma Amires." During 1868, 65,262 erose Lies were put into the road, in. :ludling 8947 for the Blue Ridge Rood. This road is st,ill wvorked by the Greenville and Columbia Railroad Company, the business 01 bho former line betwoeon Anderson and Walhalla, hRving a Imoat1 Joubled since the beginning of'the lease. This, says President Hm met, "is some slight indication ol what may be expected when the entire line is completed to Enox. vile ; an event wvhich we should look anxiously forward to, and which we hatve reason to believe will be ae40mplished in a very Pow years, or as soon as It can b( dlone i.n thle ordinary course o: railroad con strucetion. A condensed statement of th< bistory of the road an~d it.orisa,j -conjjtion, gives the following as tthe total cost : 1641 miles of road, with branclies, outfit, real . estate, shops and out fit - - - 63,081,313 Stock of othercompanies - 80,475 Cost - - 63,161,708 Capital *tock paid in - - 1,510,374 EXoss of cost over capi tal paid in - gl651,433 - The original bonded debt was 'as follows First mortgage bon<s 18 52-54 - - - 800,009 Debentures (not mort gage) 1855 and 18 58 .-- -- -- -- - -- - , $1,400,000 In January, 1861, the State iagreed to guarantee the bonds of the company to the amount of 1 8969,000 to retire the first mort gage debt then .rauturing, and to fund the floating debt. At the end of the war, the debt of the company was only partly road. justed, the unsecured debt was falling due, a large interest ac count had accumulated, the road depots and bidilges were seriously injured or destroyed, and the couintry which should support.the .ad was prostrated. In 1866. thereOre, the Legislature anuthor -zed an additional guarantee of 86 10,000, of which 8350,000 was o be applied to fund the interest on the mortgage and gnaranteed lebt, at par, and $250,000 to ad just the bonded debt-outside the mortgage of $600,000 with. inter ost. The acts of the Legislature contemplited, therefore, a guar aitee of 81,500,000, which wat then sufiluient to arrange the whole bonded debt, and would leave but one mortgage, that of the State, upon the property of' the company. The company again proceeded to readjust their debt, when their operations were stop ped by the ordinance of the Re construction Convention in 1868, iuspending all acts of the Legis latutre passed since December, 18 -1, lending the name and credit of Ihe State to any corporation. On Pobruary 6, 1869, an act was rati tied miiking valid and confirming the prCViots acts for thA relief of i he company, which "is now in a wondition to proeed in the read justment of the debt, with a pros pect, it is believed, of' not being again in terfbrred with or annoyed." The President says: "In the imantiio, dtring all their diffi eulties, the company has gone steadily forward in the rebuild ing and impjroving of t.heir road anid property, wh'lilst theitr income has been as steadily on the in crease. It has certainly ceased to be a question now as to wvhether they will be able to pay their in. torest and operate their road suc cessfully ; and the holders of their bonds past due, are respectfully invited to come forward and io.. now them, and take others en dorsed by the State. They are now paying their six month's in. terest upon their mortgage -aund guaranteed debt falling due on the 1st clay of January, 1869, and funding all interest maturing pro vious andI up to July 1, 1868, in their bonds guaranteed by the State." The following is a statement of the bonded debt of the company on the 1st day of January last : F'irst mortgage bonds, outstanding -- -- -- 320.500 Interest and couponsl - - 147,715 Guaranteed bonds, 1861 - - 629,500 Interest and coupona - - - 96.360 Guar'anteed bonds, 1866 - 246,618 Interest and coupons - - 17,867 londs not secured by mortgage- -- -- ---485,500 Interest anid coupons. - 223,279 Second mortgage bonds - - 50,683 Interest, and coupons'- - - 3,672 Total, January 1, 1869, $2,221,696 Reduction by funding non-mortgedhonds and coupons at 3 'per cent.- -- -- - ---472,519 Adntd debt . - - - $I,749,176~ Unnthis debt the yearly In tereit at six per, OqV%,ould be 8104,950.

This course woUld'relieve, all the parties of mucill",annoy. an1ce, and be to the intergt of all I concerned, because when that is done, and it is evident Abat the company will be able to continue the payment of their Interest promptly as it matures, which is I certainly now clearly -doionstra Ced-the guaranteed boods will advance in iarke, to a p.ce much above the first mortgag' b8nds, which have not been exchanged. We have given this fhlt synop sis of the report of tie oporations I and conditions of the r6d, .be eause of its intportancoi.o the State and to the public at large. The figur'es.which we.psbljh..,will enable each person to judge for himself what are the prospbcts_of the company, whose affairs, it 2 must be said, have been man. ] aged by President Iammet with economy, sagacity and discre tion.-Charleston News. A nice way of' overcoming bash fil scruples' has been found in North Carolina. At a recent I wedding a guest proposed. that I one man in the company should I be selected as president; that this president should be duly sworn to keep ontirely secret all the comminicatiois that should he forwarded to him in his oflh-ial department that night ; that each unmarried gentleman and lady should write his or her name on a I piece of paper, and under it place I the name of the person they I wished to marry, then hand it to the president for inspection, and I if any lady and gentleman had recip)rocally choseni each other, the presidoeut was to informn each f of the result, and those who had I not been rcciprIocal in their choice were to be kept entirely secret. After the appointment of the pres den t, cornmmun ications were ac cordingly handed upj to the chair, and it was found that twelve. young ladies and gentlemcn had rerip)rocally choices, and elev.en of the twelve matches were solem nized. So, though no serious results may follow our unkind words or deeds, lot us still r'ememnber they I are none the less cruel and wicked. You little gir'l or boy, may be un kind to your slster to-dlay, and sheI may be talien i'romn you to-morrow. No dont if this be so, you will re pent sincerely of your evil-doing, yet if God's mercy spares her tp you, you will forget and treat her unkindly again and again.

Grim death at any time or placo is an un"N oloomo visitor, but more especially when h stalks among scones whero only the sound of music and the laugh of pleasure should bo heard. A dance was in progress last evening at 144 Au. gusta st., a place whero Tontons most do congregate to enjoy the pleasures whicli a combination of ltg6r and music will .voughafe. A lirgd party was prosent at an early'hour and at 8 o'clock the band struck up a lively waltz. Away went the dancers, tripping the light fantastic too to inspiring music, and no one d-eaneod of an ill-wind, when suddenly a woman's shriek rose high above the sound of the carnival. Almost simulta. noonsly the body of' a man fell heavily on the floor, forming a barrier to the dancers, several of whioni fell headlong ovor:tho pros trato form. Many thought it was only a slip, but when the man continued to lie motionless tihe crowd gathered about him, and an investigation disclosed the startling fact that the person was dead. The deconsed was a young manl about 25 yotrs of age, iiamod Albert Craft. Among his friends the impression had prevailed for some time past tittt he wis afilic tod with heart disease, and he had been counselled not to enter into festivitivos calculatod to ongendor excitement. But, young blood is heedless. Being fod of' dancing he entered hoartily into the festiv itios of the occasion. About 8 o'clock lie choso a partner for a waltz, and it wns the scream fore ed from his Companion when she discovered the ace that looked into hers suddenly grow rigid in death, that first attractod the at tention of the assemblage to the sad occurrence. Dr. Freyer wiats instantly called, and pronounced life extinct. The cause of death he alleged to have been heart di sOse. The pairents of Ch deceased reside at 136 Cornell street, to which place the body was subse quntly removed. Coroner Clea ver has booni ntified and will hold an inquest over the v ..ain this morning. It is perhaps need loss to say that after this occur ronco the m1usic and dance lost 0heir sweet flavor, and among the ladies there enlstued a pallic that nothing but absenco from thc scene of' deati conid quiet. Tromnlbone, fiddle and horn were quietly packed in their boxes, and shortly the hall was given over t( the gloom whlich death and dark ness usually inspire. (Chicago Tribune. The "Charleson Courier" con tains the following: "The Ad visory Board, consisting of th4 Governior, Comptrolcr General State Treasure'r, Secret ary of Stat< anid Attorney-General, created un, der' act of' the Legislature, have appIoi nted Sorlator Leslie Lanmo Commissioners of the State os South Carolina. The act uander which tihe appointment is made bad appriopriates $2,000,000 in bonds oif the State to the purchase oj lands, to be sold on a credlit of five year's to actual settler's, in sections of' not less than t.wcnt.y-five noi more than one hundred acres, th< purchaser to pay interest at the r'ate of six por1 cent. pcor aniunm, and ever'y yoar' after the time froum the pur'chaso to pay one-fifth oa the principal." rLANT IiLWA BEANS.-Atou suggestion, our' friend, Capt.

William Cullen Bryant, the venerable and beloved poet, says a late number of the Now York Independent, spoke to the news boys of New York at their lodg. ing-house last Sunday evening. His very presence in such an as sembly was a sermon itself, and his lips distilled for the boys the very wisdom adapted to their needs. He said he was glad to see that they were so well provi. ded for. lie had no doubt that they woro thankful, and that some of them thought they ought to make some return for so much kindness. They could make such a return, and reward their bone. fictors, by behaving well. Two things they could all do that would ensuro their happiness and pirosperity. First, every boy could resolve by God's hel) to maintain an honest character-that he never would be guilty of a false. hood, and always do what was right and just. No trust could be placed in a boy who never pays any regard to the truth. On the other hand, tho boy who told -the trthi, and never took any unfair advantage, was good and noble, and would be trusted. Having taken an honest course, every boy 8110ld resolve to always resolute ly adhere to the truth, and in so doing form the basis of a nobla character. Every boy should also resolve to do all the good lie could to others. By doing good to oth ors they would lay up a store of' satisfIction in the future, and make themselves respected and loved. One who was selfish, and paid no regard to others, would be regarded as a disagreeable per. son ; therofore all should try to do good and make others happy by kind actions. The greatest friend of' the human race, the Lord Jo sus rChrist, lived a life of unselfish goodness-an example for all man kind. LoVE FOR TIE LITrE ONES.
