DEPARTMENT, INTERNAT, REVENUE BUREAU. I April 27, 1866. All expenses for insurance upon j property, and all actual losses iu bu- j siness, may be deducted from the gross income of thc year. But losses sus- ? tai ned after December 31, 1865, can- | not reduce the income for the year. Losses incurred in the prosecution of one kind of business may be deducted | from gains in another, but not from j those portions of income derived from fixed investments, such as bonds, mortgages, rents and the like. As- j sessors should also be careful not to j allow the deduction of amounts ' claimed to have been lost in "busi ness, when in reality they should be 1 regarded as investments or expendi? tures, as when merchants expend money in farming or gardening for recreation or adornment rather than pecuniary profit. Persons traveling abont the coun? try as agents of manufacturers or dealers, seeking orders for goods as agents for one person or firm only, such as salaried olerks or men hired by the month, should not be required to take licenses as commercial brokers. All parts of decision No. 159, in? consistent herewith, " are hereby re? voked. E. A. ROLLINS, Commissioner. REMORSE.-Probst, the murderer of the Deering family at Philadelphia, says that he wants to die; that half an hour at a time is the longest bc has slept since his arrest. He sees theAiur dered baby before him day? and night, and there aro mnffiod sounds in his ears, uttered by tho children while the massacre was in progress, that he cannot exclude. He is ironed to the floor, and at night, that he may not commit suicide, his arms are so fastened behind him that he cannot use them. A store was entered in Augusta, on Sunday night, and a large Herring safe stolen, carried off on trucks, and broken open outside the city, and $700 in gold extracted. 10,000 additional houses are needed to-day in New York and Brooklyn. COMMERCIAL. AND FINANCIA!*. Thc New York Herold of Saturday morn? ing fays: "The advance in ?old caused a greater degree of buoyancy and firmni ss to prevail in commercial circles, yesterday, and price? were quite generally higher both for imported and domestic produce. Cot? ton was an exception to the genera) rule, the panic in the Liverpool market unset? tling the market here, and rendering prices nominal at decidedly lower figures. Sugar was a shade firmer; coffee dull; on change, flour advanced; wheat also advanced; corn was dull; oats qniet; pork higher; beef timu r: butter dull; lard tinner; and whiskey dull and nominal." Letters from London .state that amid the prevailing panic in British and foreign securities, American stocks maintained a greater firmness than ?nv other. A de? spatch to L. P. Morton Co., New York, dated Friday, 16th, p. m., says: "All American securities have recovered 4 per cent, from tho opening priors ander great general depression." At ru sTA, May 1. Since last week's re? view, cotton has declined from "? to 7c. per pound. This heavy fall has been caused by a panic in tho Liverpool market. To? day, the market is quiet. Wo quote strict middling at 23 and good middling at 20c.. with very little disposition on thc part of holders to sell at these rates. The receipts have boen light, while the stock on hand is declining rapidly, business in groceries is generally dull, with a lair stock on hand. Lacon is lower than last week. Bal ter and cheese of good quality aro scarce. Mo? lasses and sugar have declined. M??w*.

Mr. Hammett, has a' thorough business experience, and in bia whole career has illus? trated the qualities which I hare ascribed to him, especially iirbis long and successful management of thc largest manufu-ciariug establishment in (ircenville.

'?*; The year under review was an eventful one. i'irst, carne the freshet on j. the loth of January, which washed np and rendered nnt3t for the passage of the trains about forty miles of your Toad. Of this disaster you have a min ate and special account in the annual report of last year. Be^ortfjU came the invasion of the State by the Federal army under General Sherman, and with it the destruction of your valuable depots ami'office edifice at Columbia, of about twelve miles of your road, including fite bridges, and of many engines, oars, depots and freights ; all of which is mor? purlieu- \ larly set forth in. the report of the General Superintendent, herewith sub? mitted, to which your attention is called. Third, came the surrender of the armies under Generals Lee and Johnston, and the fall of the Confede? rate Government, which swept away tibe, currency, your investments, and nearly all of your assets, and involved our country in - almost universal bankruptcy. And last?, then followed the mib'tary rule of the United States authorities, wi?h the seizures of property, the depredations attend? ant upon want and lawlessness, and the general confusion which pervaded the land. For five years your road and its appurtenances had'been, for the most exhausting services, subject to the. requisitions of Government f officers and agents. In compensation for these services, prior to May ] last, there stand the bonds, notes and liabilities of a fallen Government, j For the transportation of numerous bodies of troops, that subsequently j passed over your road,' (which constituted part of the great line of travel through the State, after the destruction of the South Carolina Railroad,} file Federal- Government is justly liable ; bat so irr^alarly were- those troops thrown upon your road, that, in the absence of quartermasters und instructions, it was impossible to obtain the vouchers which are necessary to satisfy the strict requirements of the auditing officers at Washington, What remained of yonr track, rolling .stock and machinery at thc end of j the war was seriously damaged, and the means of repairing were small : j yet, besides bringing other heavy loss to your Company, they impaired the i efficiency of your "Board by injnrionsly affecting irs reputation for good ' management ; for with those who w?l not scrutinize causes, success is the only test of merit. It was believed that the true policy of tire Company was to pay its debts , as early as possible, and to carry out this view the surplus income had j been husbanded, and not paid out in dividends. At the beginning of the ; year, the Company was free from debt, except the bonds, and had what was supposed to be available assets, amounting to at least a million dollars. Prosperity, such as wo had not previously enjoyed, seemed to be OUT'S ; but very soon we were made to eu dare severe disappointment. For a time after the fall of the Confederate Government, the energies ?>f the people in every branch of business were paralyzed^ All of our property i at Columbia having been destroyed, and the road below Bomana being in ' ruins, it was, after a short reflection, determined to remove the offices of the Company to Newberry. A suitable house and lot was there pur? chased, and the General Superintendent und Auditor and Treasurer there j opened their offices. The Company had univ about ?5500, which was in gold, realized from the sale, just previously made, of its Luterest in the Liverpool and Charleston Steam Packet Company, which it was pro? posed, before the war, should be established, in which we had taken sonto stock, but which fell through. The only other available assets was a lot of about one hundred and sixty bah s of cotton, which had been saved. , lu this ruined, prostrate condition, the inquiry was, what can be done V A meeting of the Directors was called, to take place at Newberry, but all mail arrangements and communication having been interrupted, notice j reached but few of the Directors. Such of them as could, attended, but we failed to have a quorum. A consultation was had. and we determined to keep the organization together, and to work the road to tho extent ot its running capacity ; and also to commence repairs, und as the means could be obtained, to push them on, so as in the end to rebuild the road. A successful accomplishment of this eijd. so desirable, at that time, to most of us, seemed impossible. There hoing but few engines and ears lit for use, at first only one train a day was run-up to Greenville and down to Newberry, on .alternate days, (the train on the Abbeville Branch running in connection.) The running was extended to Alston as soon as the road was repaired to that place, and soon afterwards daily trains were run between these points and Greenville. But owing to the want of connections with other railroads, and the ruined condition of Columbia, rather repelling than inviting busi? ness or visitors, our business for the first two months was very small, amounting to 32,992.50 for May. and 84,196.54 for June-S7,189. IO. The lack of money in the country constrained us tu do much business without pay. The subsequent months show an increase down to December, and that month exhibits a falling ou. Tho whole income maa May 1 to the end of the year amounted to $82,890.1'.). With this income, with a small amount received from cotton sold, tho road was worked during that timo, the rolling stock somewhat repaired, and the whole road put into running order, except the gap from Broad River to Littleton. The rebuilding of the road from Frost's Mill upwards was commenced in September, and early in January, all the iron we had ?as laid down. Additional iron for about eight miles was still needed. Our road and each of its detached portions was completely isolated. Cut oil from all connec? tion by railroad with tho seacoast and every city, besides the remnant of Columbia, the practicability of bringing up our iron by Mater was con? sidered by the President. Tho expenses of hauling iron from Granby or any other point to our road in Columbia would have been insupportable, even if by boats or lighters Granby could have been reached from Charleston by water. Wagoning along our track in the valley of Broad River was not practicable, even if permitted by the land owners. No course was left but to await the completion of the South Carolina Rail? road to Columbia, and then to use the small quantity ot rolling stock which was fortunately saved on our road near Columbia in transporting material as the work progressed. The two engines which we had near Columbia were badly crippled. Men weit? sent down to overhaul and repair them. A foreman was pat upon the road side, and the work of repairs done under many embarrassments. Anticipating the need of iro;i, the President, in November, went to the North, and by earnest efforts succeeded in purchasing six hundred t ms of new rails, with chairs and spikes sufficient to rebuild the gap in the road. Most of this material was laid down in Charleston early in January. The South Carolina Rail? road was completed to Columbi:*, the 17th of January, but such was the press of business upon the insulin ient rolling stock on that road that we received no iron from it until in February ; and since that time the m ees sary division of accommodation between our road and the Charlotte and , South Carolina Railroad has so limited the delivery to us, that the force which we have had employed in laying the track has easily kept np with j the supply of iron. If all tho material we had in Cliarl? sum could have boon transported t?> Columbia as it was needed, the gap tu our road would have been dosed in March. We hope and believe that that res till will be attained by the 5th of May. In Mureil, a strong lore? was put to getting out the timber for the bridge at Alston, under the immediate direction of Mr. Burns. The progress made iti this work is satisfactory The various interests of thc Company have been cared for and specially I guarded. The officers, under the difficulties which they have had to . encounter, and with the small means at their command, have dono the best that could be done. i gi1 1 I?,IuiJ, jpg11 i i.. .i. ,r,i. r i, ? fa at ?, ?.nu . ^Tjie Directora,.vri?t. ?MMjpjtt^to tfpwjjfc re*Mmtlygav? ifceir indi ryidisa? ?ru4^V^^^?i#otet ??

' . y; At the commencement of the war the Company owed a floating debt Of TjoUess than 8300,000. This was all paid off before its close/ aVf?ach has lieen the condition of our banks, and other moneyed interesas, since the fait of the Confederate Government, that we Have been com? pelled, ir. working and rebuilding toe road, to rely upon the resources "of the Company. "We could not borrow money if we would, sud heuce we created but little debt. At the cl?)se of thin riscal year the bills payable or notes d"*' amounted to only about $14.000. The debt for" current expenses was very small. Of the bills payable, nearly half tho amount WHS for the house and lot at Newberry, purchased for the offices, which still belongs to the Company, and may now be sold without detriment, being worth nearly what it o>t. Toe balance of the billi? payable baa sim e beeu paul <?Jl". The ?ody indebtedness likely to embarrass the Com? pany is the bond debt, l'util the fall of the Confederate Government, for twelve years preceding, the Company hail paid the coupons as they were presented ; and during the latter years of the war it had orr^Ieposit in bank money to pay not only the coupons', but the bonds as they fell dm-. The following is a statement <>f th?' bond debt : The Company at various times has issued bonds to the amount of 81,500,000. To secure the pay mex. t of the first ?800,000, it execnted a mortgage ?lated the JSth ?lay of January, 1S54. ?nbsequently, about December, 1800. ns the bonds secured by the mortgage approached matu? rity, application was made to tho State asking lier to lend her credit to the Company in the arrangement ?>f its debt. The application was granted, and the Legislature, by Act r.itiri.'d toe 2Sth of January, 1861, directed the guaranty of the bombs of the Company to the amount of 8900.000, .for the purpose of enabling it to fund its floating debt, and raise funds to taite tip its mortgaged bonds, securing to the Stnte at the same time a statutai-y mortgage to cover her bability. These are the only liens upon ' the road, and they amount to 8900,000. Of the mortgaged bonds, $800, [000, there have been retired and cancelled ?440,000; leaving still out? standing $354,000. To enable the Company to retire these, the Treasurer has in hand of guaranteed bonds 810-4,000; and under the Act of the Legislature we are entitled to a further guaranty of ?'200,000-$304,000 ; leaving unprovided for ?>f the mortgaged bonds 850,000. To this amount bonds bad been dispose?! of to meet these bonds, and the proceeds were hist in the general wreck. Of the bonds outside the mortgage, $600,000, there fell due July 1, 1865,8350,000. Tho balance will fall due July 1. 1868, ?250,000-$600.000. for these bonds there is no lien on the road. The bond-holders, doubting the currency during the war, neglected or refused to present their bonds ami coupons for payment, and now there are outstanding and due coup?>us to the amount of $264,092.50, all of j which would have been paid if presented, and so much 83ved to the Com? pany.
