TO TUB STOCKHOLDERS OK TUB SOUTH CAROLINA RAILROAD COMI'ANY. f.Vn//emrn ?On every feverish excitement ill the Cotton market, which rushes on the in- | terior termini of your road that product, beyond j the iinmrdiatc ability of the Company's power to -projiLibty transport, and within th c^bricf space which would be desirable to the holders or operators in that staple, the Road is made the (heme of some reproof?as not fulfilling its obligations to the public. It may be difficult to do- j fine the public obligations imposed by the charter; but the Direction, in its policy, have endeavored to recognize a concurrent, if not supe rior obligation?that which is due to the stockholder. As many of you never attend the annual | meetings, and most of you are represented by i proxies, there is no medium hut through the | ' oliimnc of ih?? nress. bv which yo'j can be ap. j proaohed; and this is my only apology for avail, ing myself of its opportunities, to submit to your consideration a brief statement for your judgments to act on. A sense of duty to the Company, and not any desire'to exonerate the administration of its affairs from charges which idle rumor may hare carried to your ears, is the only motive of this communication. In all the reports of engineers connected with the aoneals made to individuals as inducements to embark in railroad enterprises, the cost of I construction, and of motive and of car power, is properly estimated as capital; and the calcula. lion "of the nmount of the latter which may be necessary, is based on the probable annual bu. siness of the Road. If, however, it was stated that the public would require that the entire annual business which tbe Road might expect to do, must bfi performed in two or three mouths instead of twelve months, and that the charter imposed an obligation to be provided for these short-lived emergencies, on every exciteuent in the cotton market, we might well enquire from what source could the capital necessary fnr so hazardous and unprofitable an enterprise bo raised ? Yet such are tho assumptions o11 those who would impress on you the belief that j your interests have been neglected, and the pub- j lie responsibilities ot- the road have not been ! fulfilled. It may be necessary here topremise that the j Cincinnati Company became the purchaser ol tho Hamburg Road; and that the stock in that Company is represented by a debt, guaranteed by the endorsement of the State, and not by private stockholders. The capital paid by the Cincinnati Company was exhausted in the construction of the Road bed from Rrunchville to Columbia. No provision was made, and not a dollar was ever expended on motive or car power. On tho consolidation of the two roads, the motive power transferred with the Hamburg Road was eenerall} of a 3rnnll class of loco motives, amounting to twenty-four in number ; and many of these were old. disabled, and par. tially condemned. The car power consisted of 158 four-wheeled canvassed vehicles, and 38 box and platforms?the whole equivalent to j about 100 box and platforms of eight wheels ; each. The Company now have in service about | 45 locomotivo?, the majority of which are of a large class, and 360 box and platforms, which by the 1st of January will number 400. The whole ofthis additional power, (five locomotives and 115 freight and two passenger cars, which have been added this year, at a cost of ?111,. 000,) including the construction of the Camden Branch, the enlargement of depots, dsn., has been provided from the revonue, and on the credit ol the Company. Not one cent ut additional capital, which that expenditure should represent, has ever been called lor front Stock holders. This is mentioned merely to show the restrictions under which your Direction have been compelled to act, and the limited means at their command for the additional locomotive and car force so repeatedly called lor. Annually the [ complaints (again prevalent) of dtjicicncrs in ! both are brought before the stockholders. They : hastily consider, and as hastily adjourn, with ' the simple resolution instructing the Hoard to j provide the necessary means to transact the in- ! creasing business of the Road ; without indi- j eating the sources fiooi whence the requisite - i- I.? i I sums to meet me expcuunur?-? .m- i? .n3cu. Credit and the Revenue are the only resort; and if the Direction have been forced loin* trench on both to meet obligations therp was no alternative. Now, has the duty to provide for the transaction of the Business of the Road been fulfilled with a faithful regard to the inte* rests of the Company ? Performance is the only test. During the month of November just passed, there was transported, with the power enumerated, 59.357 bales of Cotton ; 905 o( Domestics; 303 ol Waste; 6,390 bushels of Corn; 1.32S barrels of Turpentine ; 101 head of cat tie; 1,140 ot hogs; the whole in tonnage or j weight equivalent to 63,000 hales of Cotton in ' one month, The present power of tho Road, ' therefore, is equal to the transportation of the | entire crop of the State in four months. If the | Stockholders accord with the Cotton operators, | that the Company is bound to provide the means j to transport the whole in two months, if they , require it, the work can be done, but it would be at your cost. It would involve an appropri. ! ation equal to that which has already been expend'-d for motive and car power, depot accomodatioit, and extra labor,?while all these adJi tional investments, profitably employed for two months only, would prove a loss from dclcrioration and want of service for tho remaining ten months in the year. The power of the road : is fully equal to the profitable performance of the j present business if it was distributed. The de- , rnand therefore by (be dealers in cotton, that , the company should bo prepared for the ctrier-, policies which their speculations crcaV' be enntej the tnorsitiir' ..souttVc ' n*: f to the road, as being confined to the down freight a'one. This is evinced by the fact that when cotton is in motion, tinder an excited and Hue looting market, two-thirds of the Company's j cars h;ue to lie despatched empty, to meet the unexpected demand. The obvious ? fleet of such , an operation is to reduce the rale of freight to the Road, by the enhanced expense incurred in earning it. Thus during the past month, and when you were listening to the complaints of the Company's inability, from mismanagement and neglect, to discharge its obligations, two-thirds of the. 03,000 bales of cotton were transported by empty cars sent op tor said purpose; while one-third only was by those trains that went op, loaded. While therefore the company realized full rates, or $1 per bag on one-third of the (lotion dcKcendimr. thev made iitile more than one-half, or 50 cents per hale on tho other two thirds trai sported. To secure a just retnunoration for the extra service thus imposed on the Company's power, and in conformity to the universal law regulating hade and common carriage, by the demand, the freight on Cotton was advanced to ?1 50 per Imle, believing that those who were most anxious to meet the eaily and advancing market, would cheerfully award the most remunerating rates, which they couid not deny to other common carriers for similar accommodations extended. This advance became another source of complaint, to which a majority of your hoard yield ed, and the previous rates were restored, in the face of the fact that the service had to he perfirmed at an enhanced cost, and gave to the company a just claim for higher rales. There were oiher and equally cogei.t reasons which recommended (his policy. F'reight on (Bolton had been l?v ' bale, and was so lived when I he aver . : ''lit of Carolina hales rarely equallcr pounds, and 2") cents per 100 lbs fixed (he c.iaroe o"one dollar. Of late, however, the packages have been made heavier, and cars which were constructed lor 40 hales, occasionally loaded up but 30; and locomotives of a nftU'Pr phDaI to lliP. harilitiir nf 1000 ItuLs were transporting hut 7 or 600. Raising the freight, therefore, with tl.fi corresponding in crease of weight to (he hale, was so obvious a protection to the Company's interest, that it is difficult to conceive how it could he esteemed otherwise. While other interests were pros* pering under advancing price*, the Railroad was to remain stationary, under increased ex I enses for extra services rendered. It may appear inexplicable to some, and *a want of foresight in the Direction to others, not to he prepared to transport every hale of Cotton as delivered;?but the fact stands recorded that in two days, at the three termini of the Road?Hamburg, Columbia, and Camden ?upwards of 12,000 hales were crowded into ho enclosures. The capacity of the platforms at the above places (which are now made the limit of reception for shipment) will contain 2800, 2300 and 1000?in the aggregate 0300 bales?and which coidd not with the company's force (as large as it may appear to some) he loaded up in less than two days. To ship arid transport that quantity oach day, would involve double the quantity of labor in service?600 additional curs and 30 additional locomotives, at an outlay of 600,000 dollars ; yet there are those who would impose this heavy expenditure on the company as a chartered obligation, and deny at the same time the higher freights which the charter grants, and which, in such exactions on the Company's power, aro the only sources of compensation. We submit the above views to the consideration of the Stockholders preparatory to the annual meeting in February next, and hope all will make it convenient to attend, and judge personally on ihe embarrassments of the past, and be prepared with their counsel to define the policy lor the government of those on whom the administration of the Company's affairs may be devolved. As a pioneer in the Railroad System, the S. Carolina Railroad has h; d to pay heavily for the experience incident to all early enterprises. The improvements in the construction of the tracks?the. necessity of a heavier rail, and the successful application of steam to locomotive power, have all conspired to impose additional obligations on it, to keep pace with the progress of mechanical science. The gradual and annual enlargement of the business has surpassed the expectations of the most sanguine, while the early disappointments of the stockholders, inducing the withholding further payments on the capital, has left to the Direction no other re. sources lor perfecting the work but what the credit of the company and a divided revenue. could accomplish. The progress therefore to consummation, has necessarliy been s'ower than a more, enlightened policy would have recommended. Still, it has been onward: and an impartial examination will lead to the comic tton that the South Carolina Railroad will, and at an early day, realize all the expectations of those who have never lost confidence in the success of the enterprise.

C., bringing a yellow girl belonging to George W. Davis, of that city. She was secreted on board by the mate. A bed was thrown into tho poop for her to lie upon, and concealed by piling wood around it.' The authorities at Wilmington, almost knowing her to bo on board, made repeated searches, and smoked the vessel several times, afier loudly nnnooneine1 that thev would smother her if she O rf did in t shew herself. Upon coming out of the river the vessel was boarded by ihe posse for the last time, and had the girl been tound the captain would have been in great peril, notwithstanding he knew nothing of the runaway. During the voyage the girl was fed in the watches, without the knowledge of the master. At the wharf here the vessel was entrusted to the care of the second mate; but in the evening the first mate went aboard, and persuaded the second mate to go on shore upon an errand. He returned, however, so quickly that the mate had not time to get off with his prize, but hid her in another place where she was discovered by the steward, lie. told the two mates, who I were then conversing in the cabin, that there was a woman on board; but I lie first mate! laughed at tliu story.

Many of our best informed business men are now of the opinion that :3.30,000 bales will bo the extent of our receipts." GEN. CASS'S SPEECH. General Cass's speech, \e believe, has been universally praised, and the ohect produced i? tlic rejection of Col. James \V...6on Webb as ambassador to Austria. This is "enmme ilfaut" in two ways. Firstly; vvc happen to Know eomeinmg of this Col. James Watson Webb, Editor of the N. York Courier and Enquirer. We know this much ?that he is " little taters"?that soon after the election of General Taylor to the Presidency of u all mankind and the rest of the jtenjile," he, neglecting his editorial duties, posted for the "city o magnificent distances,"?for months successive " boot-licked" old Xuclc for some appointment, and ; finally received uiai 10 nusinu. ouwmu; , ?c differ from our friend of the Mercury in comparing the case of Austria with (hose of England, France and Russia. For we unhesitatingly say, that amid all tlie darkened cluuds of iniquitous political crime that has shrouded Europe for many u century long, none can compare with the late cruelly infamous acts of Austria. Were all the political ! crimes of England, since the day that Cmsar's I Eagle was lirst seen upon her shores, heaped together, the pile would sink into insignificance whon compared with the ponderous mass of Austria's late unparalleled acts. As for practising the "moral sublime," we can conceive of nolhingof the sort in connection with Austria, or James waison Webb cither. We should simply term it "practically grand"?that's a little too high. Wo would there were room yet to hope that the Hungarian war cry would strike terror to every Austrian he-irt, as their never-quailing patriots beat back the panoplied hosts of their tyrannical oppressors. Tim following we clin from the New London I - o Weekly Chronicle : " A Washington correspondent of the New Bedford Mercury, intimates that Mr. Crawford, the Secretary of War, and Mr. Preston, Secretary of the Navy, arc leagued with the disorganizes and disunionists of the South, and that they arc ready J to sustain them in their infamous proceedings. This, we trust, is gratuitous and incorrect altogether. Indeed, we believe it to be so. We arc grossly mistaken with regard to both those distinguished gentlemen if they are amenable to any such charge; but if they arc so?if they have-any ! such feelings, entertain any such views?as have ! recently disgraced the country on the floors of j Congress ami cls?nvhe:v. Jho-n he hi' ailrjft ?? , >! i: !' t ..' ! !'- r ! , i|ti?< act .. i | > {'|M j'trv will sustain him?every good man in the land will stand by him i? the discharge of the duly." We sincerely hope that is true that these distinguished Cahiuetariam' are just so true to the South. If they a e, it cannot be bad ; for it is charged upon ti e n by " Anti-Slaveryists" as a crime, which is a sure index io good qualities.? We are told by the North, when we talk of disunion, that ^ they have the army?that ituty have the Navy?very little of it would go South," &c. Vet when the Secretaries of these Departments? Southern men?talk of standing up for the South, they ought to be " cut adrift" by the President?all " good men" will stand up to him in such an actThere are Vords in the English language that, although the satne in orthography, differ in meaning. It must he so with u<rnnilV. One thin<r is verv o . p ? < sure, if it be "good men" who will stand by Old Zack in such acts, then we intend to be "just as bad as we can."
