Tbo President and Directors submit the

And also our stock in the Laurens C&,

All of which has been paid for.
There has been added to the co3toflhe Road
during the year, exclusivo of rebuilding the
Broad Riv jr Bridge, the sum of $118,780 05,
making the entire cost of the Road and its outfit,
including its reconstruction after the freshet
of 185'2,$2,882,710 38, or $17,650 75 per
mile.
i able i> o. 2 is a statement of the annual receipts
and disbursements of the Treneurer,
which has been examined by a committee, aud

A part tliis surplus in needed to cover I
interest on tbo 6iraplo contract debts.
We bavo declared a dividend often per i
cent, on tbe principal of the assessment, to i
be paid thereon and after tbo 3d day of |
May next. I
If the business continues to increase in i
tbe same proportion that it has done for
tbe two last years, (and from tbe increase '
of tbo two first months of tbo present year ]
we arc led to believe tbut it will,) wo will I
lmvc the present year an income of four <
hundred thousand dollars; out of which we '
can pay the expenses of working tbe Road I
and the interest on tbe entire debt, and still
have a surplus of over ono hundred thou- 1
sand dollars. In connection with tbo in- '
come ot our Koad, we would with pleasure ?
stato that the Spartanburg & Union Rail- '
road was completed to Spartanburg in the <
full of last year, and that it is now in sue- 1
eessful operation. It bas already contribu- 1
ted mucli to the business of our Road, and <
in its future progress is destined to bo a I
valuable foeder to us. The bufiiuess already
done bas proved that the stni.ll amount ta- i
ken from us at points where we come in \
competition, is largely overbalanced by the <
business brought to us which wo could not I
otherwise have received, and such we con- I
fidently believe will continue to bo the case, <
as its business is further developed. We
conclude therefore that the interests of the 1
two Companies are not inconsistent, and (
that our friends may well rejoice with the (
friends of that Company in the success of
their most sanguine hopes and expectations.

The Bond debt of the Company, which
is secured by mortgage, falls duo as fol'ows*
'
On the first of January, 1862 '< $150,000
On the first of July, 18C2 . . 350,000 (
Ou the first of July, 1863 . . 500,000
On the first of Marcb, 1864 . 200,000
i
In all ... $800,000
It is evident, from the business now done
' i
by the Road, that the Company will not be
able, from the income, to meet and dis
charge tue debt as it fall9due; and tbat it {
will bo necessary to resort to credit in some
form to pay it. Having encountered this
indebtedness in a dark period of the Company's
history, when it was weak and tho
success of the enterprise doubtful, wo feel
nothing dannted now when the road is
finished, in fine order, well equipped, and
worth double the amount 0/ the debt, in
encountering it again. The business ia
prosperous, and money matters easy, so that
it is believed that the debt cao be taken up, ,
or funded again, with more ease and satis- (
(action than was felt in funding it in the
beginning. Much attention and considera
liuu uo3 ui'uu uesioweu upon tne indebtedness
of the Company. Tbo embarrassment
of having issued two classes of Bonds has ,
been felt with much force, and with a view
of avoiding Urn state of things in future,
the Board has dutermibed that, in its judgment,
tho true interests involved vill be
promoted by a readjustment of the entire |
debt, and feelin^Vhe importance of moving
early in this matter, so as to allow ample
time for negotiation, has ordered the issue
of Bonds to the amount of ?1,500,000, if
so much is found to be necessary, redeema- ^
ble in twenty years, to take up the Bonds
now issued, and funding the entire debt,
r??*n nar "X t .
I'iv|#?a ic^n>u wcni" iiiiu iw tuc pimori*
gnge Bond;), (and if possible, to take them
up first; and lia9 directed a mortgage of
llie road to be given to secure these Bonds.
As there may be some Bond creditors who
are willing to extend credit to the Company
beyond the time at which the Bonds fall
duo, an exchange of those Bonds maybe
made with all such ; or they may be sold '
and ?M>AAAA/1n nMnliftJ * ~ - '

|ro exchanged for or sold, and proceeds 1
applied to the present Mortgage Bonds, take 1
their place, and thus bocoroo the ?rst Mort- 1
gage Bonds, which gives ample security to 1
ihe holders.*' We ask your concurrence '
and approval of this measure to make it 1

will see from it that the works o? co'astruc- ^

of a character to inflect much credit upon
those employed- thereon. We take special
pleasure in referring to the Bridge at A-Utctti 1

which in every, pail exhibits snperb work* 1

argo part of it, the Road now would bo in

the timo above mentioned, and deserve to
rank with tho Bret class Southern Railroads.
Thus has yotlr pfopefty been doubled In

and Board of Direction, without contribution

A 8C0TCH*ANSWEB.
The Rev. Ralph Erskine, on a certain
occasion, paid a visit to bis venerable brother
Ebenezer.
O man,' said the latter, 'but you come
in a gude time. I have a deal of examination
to-day, and ye inaun tak' it, as I havo
matters o' importance to settle at Perth.'
'With-all my heart.' quoth Ralph.
'Noo,' says Ebenezer,'ye'll find a' my.
folks easy to examine but ane, and biin I
recon ye had better na meddle wi.' lie
nas an old-tasbioned Scotch way o'answering
and question by putting another, and
may be he'll affront ye.'
'Affrontme!1 quoth the indignant theologian,
'do ye think be can foil me wi' mv
ane tools I1
'A weel,' 3?V9 bis brother, 'T*s gie yofair
warning ye had better na ca' hira up?
The rccusant was one Walter Simpson,
the Vulcan oftbe parish. The gifted Ralph
determined to silence him atoncewitha
leading unanswerable question. Accordingly,
after putting a variety of simple preliminary
interrogatories to the minor clodhoppers,
he at once, with a loud voice cried
out :
Wat Simpson !,
Here, r says waiter,'are ye wanting
me!'
'Attention, sir ? Now Walter, can you
tell roe how long Adam stood in a state of
innoconce ?'
'Aye, till he got a wife,' instantly cried
the anvil hammerer ;'bnt can you tell me
how long he stood after !
^ 'Sit down, Walter,'said the discomfitted
divine.
Silence at Home.?Let pnrents talk
much and well at home. A father who is
habitually silent in his own house' may bo
in many respects, a wise man, but he is not
wise in his silence. We sometimes see
parents who are the life of every company
which they enter, dull silent, uninteresting
at home, among the children. If they have
not mental stores sufficient for both let
them first provido for their owu household.
Ireland exports beer atu&.wheat, and live
Dn potatoes ; aud they fare as poorly who
reserve their social charms for companions
abroad, and keep thair dullness for home
consumption. It is better to instruct children
and make them happy at home than it
is to charm strangers or amuse fried?. A silent
bouse is a dull place for young peoplo a
place from which they wilb escape if they
san. jTbey will talk or think of bojng 'shut
up* tbero ; and the youth who does not

THE EYES.
An eye can threaten like the loaded gun
or can insult like hissing or kicking ; or in
its altered mood, hv beams of kindness can
make the heart dance with joy. The eye
obeys exactly the action of tho mind.
When a thought strikes up, the vision is
fixed, and remains looking at a distance ; in
onumeraling names of pereons or countries
as France, Spain, Britain or Germany, the j
eyes wink at each new name. There is an .
honesty in the eye which the mouth dots t
not participate in. 'The artisi,'.is Michael j

they respect neither rank nor fortune, virtue
nor sex, but tbey go through and
through you in a moment of time. You
can read in the eyes of your companion,
while you talk with him, if your argument
hits, though his tongue will not coi.fess it
There is a look by which a man tells you he
is going to say a good thing, and a look
whicc says he has*said it.

IIow often does one come from a company
in which it may easily happen he has said
nothing ; that no important remark has
been addresed tD him, and yet in his sympathy
with the company he seems not to
have a sense of this fact, for a stream of light
has been flowing into him and out of him
through his eyes. As soon as men are off
their centres the eyes show it. There are
eyes, to be sure, that give no more admission
into the man than blue berries. There
are liquid and deep wells that a man might
full into ; there are asking eyes, and
asserting eyes, and prowling eyes and eyes
full of faith, and some of good and somnof
sinister omen. The power of eyes to
charm down iusanity or beats, is a power
behind the eyes, that must be a victory
achieved in the will before it can be susr

gested to the brain ; but the man at pence
or unity with himself would move through
men and nature, commanding all things by
the eye alone. The reason men don't
obey ua in that they see the mud at tbe
bottom of our eyes. Whoever looked on

THE NEGRO, AND SLAVERY.
Mr. G. P. R. James, the popular novelist
and late British Consul at Norfolk, in an
article in the Knickerbocker oil 'Life in
Virginia,' thus vrritcs, after a resideuca of
some rears in a slave States :
Negro Life of Virginia differs very little,
I believe, from the negro life through the
South. In return for food, clothing, house
room, medical attendance, and support iu
age, about one lhird of the white m?n in
most countries is demanded of the black
no perioral it bad ly, and would not per- I
form it at all if tbey were not compelled
The rest of his time is spent in dancing,
and bringing up pigs and cbtckens. That
negroes nretbe worst servants in world,
every man, I believe, but a thorough ,
Southern man, will admit, but the Southern-, '
er has been reared amongst them from bis-"
childhood, and, in general, has a tenderness
and Affection for them'bf which Northern '
men can have no conee$Jtion?,!' Great care
is taken bf tliqjaw to guard .them against
oppression ana wrong, and, after silf years
residence in the State, I can safely say I
never saw more than one instance of owelty
towards a negro and that was perpetua
ted by a foreigner. That there may ttilf be

and tjiat there may bo individual instances
of oppression, and even bftd treatment^* .
do not deny ; but those instances are not so
frequent astbafciuf cruelty to a wife or clHl-^1
dreo in Northern lands,as displayed erorp
day by th$. newspapers ; and, in' point of
general b^ppiuei*it/-;^oukI not ba amiss to ;
alter an old ad?ge, amr say, 'As merry as a
negro slave.' I must pursue this branch of the
subject further, for I can pretend lo no

Wo print below an extract from a capital
letter addressed, many years ago, to a
youth who was about leaving bis borne and
friends here, to seek bis fortune iip tbo far
west. It was writtfin by one of our most
worthy and venerable citizens, who has nobly
illustrated in bis own life that idea of
true and heroic manhood, which he wished
by his advice, to mate the rule and inspiration
of a carcer on which his young friend
was about to start
'Dka.ii Sir?What a glorious mission
you have before yod?that is to become a
self mudeman?Ilow much there is to admire
and respect in such a character ! Compare
bis energy and perseverance, his uoblo
endeavor always to rise and go forward?
overcoming difficulties and beating down
obstacles that would appal one a degree lew
high hearted and brave. Compare him
with the aimless, soulless puppet of fashionable
life to whom existence hat been
given for no ostensible end?reared in the
lap of luxury, with but one object in life,
to pamper and gratify all his selfish and unmanly
tastes?with no thought or pity for
the unfortunate or the miserable, turning
from thein as something disagreeable, in
which he has nothing in common, and no
concern or interest; spending his time anil
ten talents' as if there was no account to be
rendered of them?and yet, this is a man
an nmnoriui tnan, 10 wnom H was said,
Who so giveth unto the least of these, gireth
unto me.' ttow different is such a lifo
frora his, who, beginning at the first round
of the ladder, by untiring perseverance and
honesty, and that charity 'which suffereth
long and is kind,' ascends, step by step dispensing
kind words and noble deeds by tho
way?for he, too, has suffered, and can feel
for those below him?roaches at length the
top, when he receives the respect and admiration
of all who see him. Yes, it is the
self-mado man, who has made our country
great. The man who puts his band to the
plow and looks not back; who, undaunted
by the storms of adversity perseveres onward
and upward, until ibe clouds are all dispelled,
and ho lias reached "the goal. *My
young friend, I Lave ono son, and I would
rather he should prove a man like this, than
to inherit wealth and titles; for in doing so,
I think he would belter fulfil the great work
tjjal wo were sent here to do.'
Lad* Morgan's Ideas of :jYooko
Ladies?In a tete a iete conversation on
the subject of some ladies who had been suddenly
bereft of fortune, Lady Morgan s^(
with an emphatic waves of lifer deer old
green fan,'They do every thing that is fashionable
intjjprfectly ; their singing, and
drawing, and dancinor and- lancruaces a*
mount to nothing. They were educated to
marry,"and had there been time, they might
