Company to obtain aid from the Legislature, at the last iSesaion, it became necessary to restrict the work of construction on the road within the limited means 'which remained at the disposal of t lie Hoard. These wereVo small p amount that immediately after the adjournment of the Legislature the Itourd issued orders for a goiieral suspension of work on tlie road. The construction of tlio n?ul who n.v...>i-.l inglv, wholly discontinued in Tonnossoo, and also in Georgia, with the exception of a very ; heavy* embankment known as the Whitmive Kill. The work on this embankment wan , continued because it would require at least a year longer to finish it than any other par' of the grading in Georgia, and because it was necessary that so largo an embankment should have time to settle. The masonry and the War Woman and Dick's Creek Tunnols were entirely Mispondcd. In North Carolina uo work has ever been done. In South Carolina all the grading was suspended, except the embankment over the \ Seneca Bottom, and the deep cuts known as ; the Lomax's and Lawrence's. The contractors on these sections of the road, and also on j the Whitinire Kill, were permitted to continue I work on their consenting to reduce their force ^ i ro that their estimates should not exceed a prescribed amount. It should not W uimo-; ! ticcd that Mr. .Taiucs Lawrence, with lienor I ouk zeal for the enterprise, offered to gontinue I tlie work oil his contract, without any domain] ' for payment, until the company should bo in funds; and Mr. Iloborfc A. Maxwell consented to demand payment only for half of the amount j of his estimate, and to wait f< r the payment i of the balance. The aggregate of the. work 1 dime during the past )'ear on these portions of ! the road was 140,000 cubic yards. j | At the time the work was suspended, the i heading of tlie Middle Tunnel was driven | through, and in a few weeks it could have ! been finished. Twenty percent, of the Sad-1 ; die Tunnel was done.. Messrs. Ilnmliinl | Hitchcock <ft Co., continued tho excavation! I of tho Stump House Tunnel up ler a restvio- \ j tion that their monthly estimates should not j exceed ten thousand dollars. The difficulty ; j and hardship of dismissing the luYgo number ' f of workmen, whom it would he neccssary to ! j discharge in order to comply with this condii tion has prevented its exact performance. The j length-of o Tunnel is 5,808 -feet. 2,87:") j lineal feet.ui heading wore done ut the date of the last report. Since "that time, employing a little over one-third of a full force, the contractors have done 1,887 lineal feet of heading, leaving only 1,(500 feet to ho done. Tho masonry at Twenty-six Mile Creek and Seneca liivcr Was continued without any rest fiction. | The laying of 1,561) cubio yard?, since the date of the last report, has completed the masonry at Seueca River, and the ma&onry for the viaduct over the valley of tlie Twenty-Six Mile Creek has also been finished by the addition of 3,543 cubic yards. This is the most difficult and costly structure of masnnry 011 the line of the road. Indeed all the other structures of masonry, except, for the Holston Bridge, are easy to Complete, and are comparatively of light cost. [Here follows tables shewing the amount of work to be done, by cubic yards, sitoh as grading, tunneling, bridge.and arch masi.nry, &o., which are not given because of their length and from the fact that the information tlierum eohtuhicd is Ktatod in ronnd numbers elsewhere in the' report.- It was also published in lN")S.j From these tables it appears "that the grading in S6uth Carolina are more than dodlile tlic grading in Tennessee, with the j same length of road; artd is nearly equal to > the whole grading in' North Carolina and TenUwsee; one bundled and twenty-six miles. The tunnelling" I'll South ('a)'olina exceeds all the funnels On the iinc; rtnd the bridge and in?l? lnnvnnrt* in ...V... ............j ... ? ........... ...... | which is 70 miles in Ifength, and thirty-tivo I percent, of the distance to Kiioxvillc, ttfty| eight per sent, of the estimated cOfct of the t/lio whole road."

The Report of the Chief Kngtiieer, (\>1. ( win, is snort and pointed. "NYe make such i extracts from it, which, with the President's ! report, will enable our readers to fully understand the present condition of this great enterprise : Since the date of my last report, the com- ' pleted portion of the road between Anderson ! ami I'einlleton has been worked successfully i ami advantugeously, in the transport!fcimr of ; passengers and freight in cointm/aftou tfith the hauling of atone and materials used in the construction of the Twenty-six Mile Creek Hridgu. The receipts have beftn 87,500. Although ! no paying revenue has, of course, been looked for, from so small a fractional part of the 1 work, it is a source of satisfaction to know that the receipts of tho I'cndletOu section have , largely exceeded the amount previously esti- , mated. Aj)d the business of this section has steadily increased from the opening of the road. . j The progress made in flic tfofk under coVi- I tract, during the past year, while it is but a ' small increment compared with the ainoVinf of work done, and remaining to be done, is nov- ! crtht'lcRS large in proportion to the force Cm- , ployed, and will tend to show what may be j accomplished by the energies of the ('onmifrf ?.;?k (i il11 \>wmi iiv?i\ iif nii:aiiOi I n South Carolina rather more than threefourths of the grading has been done ; of the ; tunucl cxcavation, over six-tenths in oubic j yards and seven-tenth* in lineal foet has boon ' completed ; and of the square clmiu nuisnnry ] thrce-ftnirths, and of the bridge masonry twothirds' afe done, and one-fourth of the track laid.

In Tennessee about thivteen miles of the track have been graded, and the masonry between Knoxville and Maryville, a distance of sixteen miles, lias been completed, with the exception of the abutments and piers over the llolston and Little ISivers and I'istol Creek, and they arc in a state of great forwardness. The distance bei'wcoiv IvndXviUe and Maryville is thirty per cent, of the b-ngth of the road in Tennessee, and the cost of the grading and masonry was forty-one per cent, of the cost in that State, according to the original nvtimnfn In my last' repbrj, f trifatcd that a eiirefid jivd inoKf liiiii Ate est tin a to had1 fteeiV made of the quantify and'cost of the parts cohipo.not' every description of work done and reniaiMii??^ to be done in South ('aroHriiti :ouF (?COfnia, md in Tennessee, between Knoxville'and M'aryville, \Vhicli compose Gt per cent, of the cost of the ctitii'e rood, according to the jri^intd OJftTnmte.
