To the Stockholders of the Augusta and Columbia Railroad Company: Since your last annual meeting, the city ol Columbia subscribed 833,300 anti the city of Augusta $100,000 to the capital stock of your company. The State of South karolina also subscribed $42,200. Tib subscrip? tion of tho city of Augusta was paid in March last, in bonds of thc city, while the other two amounts were paid by a transfer of stock of the Charlotte and South Caroliua Rail? road Company. These sums, added to tho capital stock of tho company of 0500,000, makes it now about 8075,000. To this is to be added from $10,000 to $20,000 of stock sub? scribed, the greater portion of which is taken by contractors, and will be issued when their contracts are com? pleted. In addition to thc subscription on the part of the State of South Caro? lina, and in conformity with her liberal Bpirit of aid to works of in? ternal improvement, the Legislature, by a majority of more than two to one, authorized the Treasurer of the State to endorse the bonds of the company to the amount of $0,500 per mile, thus pledging her hearty co? operation to the construction of the road. While this generous aid on behalf of the State is highly appre? ciated by the stockholders and pub? lic, the company has been unable to nae it effectively in the construction of its road, owing to the unfortunate political condition of the country. In addition to the political and ' financial troubles incident to tho country, the South Carolina Railroad Company, claiming the exclusive right under its charter to build all . railroads connecting Charleston, ( Hamburg. Columbia and Camden, or . any two of these cities, has wantonly caused much injury and delay to the progress of your road. It is admitted that it has tho ex? clusive privilege or monopoly of con? structing three roads, or one main trunk and two branches from Charles? ton to each of the cities of Hamburg, Columbia and Camden; but it is utterly denied that it, by any charter or authority from the State, has the right to build a railroad from Camden to Columbia, or from Columbia to Hamburg. Again, it is contended by that company, that under the Louis? ville, Cincinnati and Charleston Rail? road charter, the State of South Carolina sholl not, for thirty-six years from January 1, 183G, "author? ize the construction of any railroad within twenty miles of the railroad to be constructed by that company, which shall connect any points or places on their road, or which shall run in the general direction thereof, without tho consent of said com? pany." This Act of Incorporation contemplated a connection by rail between Charleston and Cincinnati and Columbia. North Carolina and Kentucky are designated as on its route. The surveys, official reports of officers, and proceedings of stock? holders' conventions, all establish this as tho line of the contemplated road. The leading object of the Legislature in conferring such un? usual privileges, was to secure the trade not only of the State, but that of the great valley of tho Ohio River, to her sea-port. And this main pur? pose is manifest in all the legislation in regard to the Louisville, Cincin? nati and Charleston Railroad Com? pany, and the subsequent Acts relat? ing to the South Carolina Canal and Railroad Company, the rights and property of whioh were acquired by purchase, under the authority of the Legislature, and merged into said company, under its now name-tho 'South Carolina Railroad Company. . Now, if any portion of tho. Louis? ville, Cincinnati and Charleston Rail? road was constructed under its char? ter, it was only that portion from Branchville to Columbia, after tho completion of which tho undertaking failed and has been abandoned for more than twenty years. Thus the State was unable to accomplish her cherished purposo, after having con? ferred great powers and credits apon this corporation. But Hamburg is not named in the charter of the Louisville, Cincinnati and Charleston Railroad Company, so that your road does not "connect any points or places on their road," and so far i'rotai running "in the general direc? tion thereof," its course is nearly at right angles with said road. Tho President of the South Carolina Rail? road Company caused a bill to bo filed against this Company, to enjoin the construction of its road on the grounds stated. Pending tbib bill, ad application to restrain tho officers and agents of your company, was also made from crossing the track of that road. After ablo arguments of counsol, the motion to restrain, as well as the application for nn injunc? tion, was dismissed by tho learned Chancellor, in a very elaborate opi? nion. After having resorted to the civil tribunals to settle tho contro? versy, tho South Carolina Railroad authorities ordered engines and cars to stand upon the point of crossing their track to obstruct the building of your road, and tore np the track after it was laid. Not content with this, they orderod a portion of tho trestle of your road to be torn down, which was done, near their depot nt Granitovillo. This wilful and de? liberate destruction of your property and rights was all committod under the claim of exclusivo privileges and monopolies, which aro not to be found in their charters, and are in? imical to the best interests of tho Stato and tho public. Tho conse sequenco has been to dolay much your work, and impair much tho credit of the company. To indemnify this company for its loss aud damage, arising from these trespasses delibe? rately committed, suits have been in? stituted by its attorney. Notwithstanding all these embar? rassments, your directors are gratiOed to report a fair progress of the road toward completion. Before the 1st of January next, the graduation, masonry and bridges will all be com? plete, from Columbia for forty miles West. An iron bridge, of the Fink pattern, 1,025 feet long, will be finished across the Congaree- River by the 20th of November. Nine miles are graded from Granitovillo East. Less than $40,000 will finish the grading and prepare the entire road-bed for the superstructure. It is hoped that this can be finished as fast as it will be required. Tho pur? pose- is to start two forces-ono at Graniteville and tho other at Colum? bia-by tho 20th of November, with the expectation of making ten miles per month, and thus have seventy miles of the road in operation in July next.. Rails sufficient for thirty-five ox six miles have been purchased, and are on baud or in Charleston, and the balance necessary is engaged to be imported directly from England tc Charleston. In a few mouths aftei track-laying commences, tho com? pany will begin to derive an in? come from transportation, when thc raino of its bonds aud stocks will be materially increased. Tho balance ol the work from Graniteville anti Augusta will - then be pressed aa rapidly as possible; while tho survey of the entire route had beeii made, tho final location of the hue, aftei passing Graniteville village, and be fore reaching the lands of tho Soutl Carolina Railroad Company, was sus ! pended in deference to that company as propositions for a joint warohousi and tho uso of its track had beei submitted to its President more thai oighteen months since, and were stil pending. No purpose of opposition much less of violence, was ever madi known to this company' until th injunction was applied for. Afte force was resorted to, your director localed thc lino to pua? hear Granite ville Depot, and proceedings hav been instituted to condemn the righ of way. This location was deemo necessary for the company, and c great public utility in the oxchang of passengers and freights betwee the two roads, and of decided benet to tho South Carolina Railroad Con pany, in adding to its transportatio of freights. The land proposed t be condemned hes io rear of tb Graniteville Depot, and had nev( been enclosed or owned by that con pany ?for any purpose, until voi recently a fence has been erectc across tho proposed hoe of your road, for tho purpose 'of obstructing its progress. lu obedience to the authority of tho stockholders at their last annual meeting, a mortgage of the road, with all its property and franchises, has been executed uud registered, in all the districts through which it j runs, including tho city of Augusta, with James Robb and Wm. K. Kit? chin, Esqs., ci tho city of New York, appointed trustees therein. By the terms of this mortgage, the company is empowered to issue not exceeding $1,000,000 of its first mortgage bonds for the completion.of the road. Theso bonds havo been prepared and exo cuted, and the largest portion of I them-about $600,000-are in the| hands of your treasurer and tho trus? tees. Eighty-one thousand dollars of the bonds of the city of Augusta are still unsold, but advances havo been made upon them to tho extent of about four-fifths of their value. The stock of tho C. & S. C. B. R. Company, amounting to $75,500, is | Btill held by the company unencum? bered. With these moans, and such additional subscriptions as may be J made to tho capital stock, it is ex? pected to prosecuto your road to completion, notwithstanding tho dif? ficulties of the times and the opposi? tion of those who, from solfish mo? tives, would thrust themselves in tho way of tho prosperity of the country. After deducting the amount due from contractors from tho amount due them as stated in the treasurer's report, the greater portion of tho re? mainder has been paid; and of the balance, a portion is payable in stook, leaving comparatively a small sum payable in cash.
