WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-Thc indications are increased to-day that thc most of the Republicans will support the President's restoration policy next winter. They fear the people at thc*polls next year. I hear to-day that Mr. Stanton has dis? solved the commission which was estab? lished under the law of Congress be? fore the last, proposing compensa? tion for slav"-: in Maryland under certain circumstances. The President has directed that all par? dons under the amnesty" proclamation that are not called for at the Department of State, within one week alter they arc ready for delivery, will be forwarded to the Governors ?f their respective States. WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-President Johnson has issued a proclamation recommending a National Thanksgiving on the first Tues? day of December. Gov.

Secretary of Statu that the President cannot recognize the people of any State aa having resumed re? lations of loyalty to the Union who admit as legal objections debts created or con? tracted in their name to promote the war of the rebellion. Thc Government ha= arranged that thc radroads in the Military Division of Ten? nessee shall sell to thc* stockholders cn credit such rolling material as is not needed by the United States authorities. The Government has seized a large quan? tity of alcohol, in New York.on account of tho owners attempting to defraud the Custom House. A number of officials arc said to be implicated.

To thc Stockholder* of tile Columbia and Hamburg Railroad Company. Since your last Annual "Meeting, great and radical changes have tnVon nineo in our country. No civilized people ever realized greater political, military and social revolutions in so short a period. These causes have rendered it impossible to carry on any systematic operations in construction of tho road. On two occasions over rive hundred hands were at work and contracted for in the graduation. At one period eight tenths of the entire grading was let, and the whole of it could have been finished by this timo, but for the rapid transitions in the condition of the country. After the din of battle ceased, came the abolition of slavery, deranging the entire labor system of the country. This so com? pletely paralyzed the energy and capital of thc entire South as to render it impossible to get contractors. Notwithstanding all these difficulties, a small force was kept ?t work by the Company. This has recently increased to about two hundred hands, now at work: and as the confidence and ener? gies of the people begin to revive, and the farmers on the line evince a disposition to take contracts, it is believed a force suf? ficient to prepare tin; road-bed for the rails by next spring can soon be placed on the graduation. In the present condition of the Com? pany's assets, it would be difficult to submit an accurate estimate of their value. For? tunately for thc Company, one of its prin? cipal objects of investment was cotton, and notwithstanding thc losses by thc casualties of war, it still holds over four? teen hundred bales. This is in addition to what has been sold, and the proceeds ap? plied to the work. Independent of other means, the proceeds of the cotton now on band will be more than sufficient to com? plete thc entire graduation of thc road-bed It is, howover, manifest that the means ol thc Company, after finishing the gradua? tions, delivering the cross-ties and paying for the right of way, will not bc sufficient to purcbaee any considerable portion o. the rails. It will be necessary to provide funds for this purpose as early as may b< practicable. Your charter gives ample au? thority to raise funds, both by thc issuanci of new stock and the sale of bonds. Tk< opinion is entertained that, with youi present basis of capital and commanding position of your road, the funds can bi raised, in a fair state of thc money market necessary for the completion of tho work The construction of this road is rendered almost a public necessity, since the com pletion of the Piedmont Railroad, render ing the distance less by that route than b; any other. Indeed, this road is the las' important link in the great central lin? between Washington City and Vicksburg and if constructed at a reasonable cost must prove a profitable investment to tin stockholders. All the travel coming South, not going t or through Charleston, after passing Rich mond, whether it comes via Danville Petersburg, Norfolk, Weldon or Warning ton will find this the shortest route, vi; Co'u.-.>bia, over your road to Augusta; an so .it., all travelers going North throng Augusta, on ail the roads concentrating a that city, will lind it their shortest route b over sixty miles. When "completed, it then becomes th funnel of a very large stream of convert ing anet diverging through travel and trad at each terminus. Besides, the greate portion of the linc passes through one < the most prosperous, wealthy and prodtn tive regions of South Carolina, while tl: rcniainiler of the line1 passes through Virginia pine forest of great value lo tl; country, as well as of great importance i the economical construction and maint nance of the road. These considerations unquestionah prove that the road, when finished, wi commantl a very large local, as well ! through business, and, with fair manag ment, must prove a source of profit to i sb ickbolders. As the subscription to the capital stoc amounts to $1,933,971, and was made ai paid when the currency of thc country w? matcriallv tlepreci-ted in value, it is r commendeil that it be reduced to its re value. This suggestion is made for t\ obvious reasons: to avoid undue taxatio and to enable the new contractors to tai a portion of the stock of Hie Company par in payment of their contracts, as sev ral landholders have expressed a desire do. lt is believed that the capital m thus bc materially increased, such is f confidence in the stock as investment. As thc foregoing is submitted witho the usual information from the Engine and Treasurer, vour attention is respe< fully invited to their reports, just hand in and herewith submitted. WM. JOHNSTON, President. A committee appointetl to report on t President's report, rendered in the folio ing resolutions; which were passctl: Resolved, That thc stock ot this compa heretofore issued be reduced one-fourth the present number of shares, by calling all thc certificates and issuing a new cer ficate for one-fourth of the number shares called for in tho originals. Resolved, That when such a divisi would produce fractional parts of a sba tho stockholder shall in au cases have 1 election to purchase at the par value the new share, thc fraction necessary constitute a whole share, and when be di not so elect, this company will pay for t fraction at the same rate. Resolved, That no transfer of the ste shall be made on the books of tho compai or recognized in any meeting of the sto holders or otherwise, or any dividend 1 be paid on said 6tock,'or any portion the of, until tho foregoing resolutions are com? plied with. Res'Act'l, That thc President and Direc? tora are hereby authorized and empowered t,\ riisr. a sufficient amount of funds to complete the road, by a sale, hypothecation or other disposition of the stock and bonds of the company, in conformity with the charter; provided that the present stock? holders be allowed to increase their stock to an amount not exceeding four times their present amount, as reduced within the next thirty days, at par; provided it ia paid within ninety days from this date.
