The, President and Directors of the Raleigh and Gaston Rail Road Company, Jin conformity with the provisions of the Act of Incorporation, submit to the Stock holders the following Report ; it is known to the Stockholders, that the confidence ot the public in the suc cess of this work, was such as to cause at the first opening of the books, a sub scription largely .exceeding the amount required to organise the Company, 5,589 Shares of Stock having been then sub scribed, on whi'chHhe first instalment of two dollars per Share, amounttrig to gll 78 was punctually paid; Soon alter the organization of the Company in -February last, the. Board met and appoint ed Thos. P. DeVERJTTX. F. Uro Urn. the President elect being then iausem nomine state, hnd iftLumo time conlcrredAthe appointment of 'Chief lingrneec, upon Mr. C. F. M. Garnett, a gentleman who came hijrhlv rornm. mended to thein by those interested in tne several Kichmond and Petershura Rail Roads, in wjiose service he had been or sometime employed, and where he au uncharged his duties entirely to their adsfactimi T? i,: iu: ... x , Ml9 bctvicca in mis ta- bacity, the Board allowed him a salary of u.viusanu uoiiars per annitin.' It was also thought exnedient.in thi infan: ky of a work of this krfid in our ! State. md with the limited .information nos. messed by us on the mihipnf the services of an experienced and capa ble person, as Consulting Enr iticlarlyas this course'had been general ly, adopted in other places. This ap pointment, the Board did not hesitate to cpnler on MoKn- pT. . w' .;:.- wnose reputation as an Engineerls se ond perhans .to''ninTn thl tti ,wi. IihH hos l " 2 f vu'p'5 - Deen Jong engaged on Soflthern Rail ? 5r- Roads, and to whom thejr are indebted for many valuable improvements in the mode of construction. As tne services of thi gentleman were deemed of great importance in the commencement of the work, particularly in organizing a com petent Corps of Engineers?, and could not be expected to be secured for any small compensation, the Board determined , to fiVhis salary also at three thousand dol lars. After the organization bf the Engineer Corps, the first object forj the considera tion of the board was the selection of a suitable route for the location ofthe Road. Three routes were suggested the one a direct line from Gaston, passing to the Southeast of Warrenton, through or near Louisburg to Raleigh, estimated to be seventy-five miles in" length. Another leading through the upperipart of Halifax and Nash counties, crossing the Neuse near Hinton's Bridge, and thence to Ra leigh. The third following the dividing ridge between the waters pf the Roanoke and Tar Rivers, running through the up per part of Warren and nar the di viding line between Franklin and Granvilbi, to Raleigh. The distance from Gasftm to Raleigh by either ol the jtwo routes, is nearly the same, and is estimated to be eighty-five miles, To the first or direct route, so many obstacles presented, arising from theun evenness of the country td be traversed, and the number of water courses intersect ing it, which would require to be passed at a vast expense, and one! which was be lieved to be far beyond the means ofthe Company, that it was at onpe abandoned. rhe Engineer was - then directed to make careful reconnoisances of each of the other two routes, and report the re suit ot his examination to the Board. This was accordingly done, and his re port, which js. herewith submitted, in duced the boaj-d to adopt the third, or what is commonly known fas the Chalk level route. The reasons jivhich mainly influenced them to give this the prefer ence, were the following: Af'er ascend ing from the Roanoke at Gaston, for which a very advantageous location was found just above Wilkins erry, and in a directly continuous line.wi'th the Greens ville and Roanoke Road, and where, the ascent can be overcome bv a - grade of . - sixty three feet to the mile, for a little moie than two miles, we attain the sum mit of a ridge, which presents a singular feature in the character of a country, else where so broken and uneven. Passing by Littleton, in the lower part of War ren, this ridge, which divides the: waters of the i Roanoke from the Tar, dresents for forty miles a surface unparalleled in any of.our upper or middle regions, for its uniform evenness, not being for many miles intersected by the smallest stream, heading the two Fishing Creeks, Sandy Creek, and several water courses of mi nor importance, which must necessarily have been, encountered on- either of the other routes, and thereby not only avoid ing the rough country contiguous to those streams, but greatly diminishing the ex pense of bridge building, which forms no inconsiderable item in the construction of Rail Roads. With the exception of the grade already mentioned at the Roan oke, which it may be proper to observe, is in the descent of the heajvy trade, and three other grades of about' 39 feet to the mile, no other-part ofthe located line ex ceeds a graduation of thirty feet to the mile. There are but few curves and the shortest radius used is nineteen hundred feet, which offers little or ho obstacle to the operation of locomotives, and is at tended with no danger. By this route, it will also be perceived, that the distance is increased only about ten miles, which, when we; take into consideration, the great. saving of expense before referred to, if not of itself a sufhcient reason for giving this route the preference, an addi tional inducement with the Bdard, was the great extent of fertile pountry which is intersected by and lies' contiguous to it, and which, we doubt not, willjfurnish a large proportion ofthe produce ttrat will be transported along ourj Road. This, if either ofthe other routes had been se lected, would have found jts way to mar ket either down the Roanoke River or in wagons, to Blakely, Gaston, or some o ther more convenient point ofthe Roads leading to Petersburg, and we should have been thereby deprived of the bene fit arising from its transportation. In deed we may venture to sav. that the re- venue arising from the transportation of the Tobacco, Cotton, Wheat, Flour and other products of the fertile counties of Warren, Franklin, GraJnyille, Orange and Person, when forty miles of the Road shall be completed to Chalk Level, will, with the travelling which "may be reason ably calculated upon, be of itself suffi cient to yield to the Stockholders a hand some dividend on the whole amount of the Capital subscribed. By selecting this route, theTar and Neue Rivers will fare crossed at points much higher up, and where their beds are not-so much depres sed below the general level of the coun try arid great. expehsVSvill be thereby saved in crossing them. -y These consid erations induced the Board without hesi w vo give mis route me preference, and the Engineer was accordingly direct- tation, to give this route the preference, TUESDAY, ed to proceed as? expeditiously as possi ble, in the location of the Road along this line a3 far as the Tar River, This has been done; and, as far as the Board are capable of judging, from th eir knowledge of the country and the profiles of the Road, the location has been judiciously made, and it has also met the approba tion of the Consulting Engineer. In the execution of this duty, two parties of En gineers were employed, the one in exam ining and improving the experimental lines originally run, wherever it was .deemed requisite, the other following and locating upon such lines as were most ap proved. For the more particular infor mation of the Stockholders, -it may be proper to state, that the line crosses Roanoke River about six hundred yards above Wilkin's Ferry, thence to Little ton, a distanceyof nine miles. After at- taining the ridge near ljittleton, it con tinues along it, with but slight deflec tions, running by Shearin's Store, Rod- well's Roads, the Chesnut Oak, about two miles north of Warrenton, to Pas chairs ( now 1 witty7, ) thence passing near Dr. Hawkins7 to the Chalk level, it crosses the Tar just above Chavis' ford. Tiie remainder ofthe route is as yet un determined, and the Engineers are now engaged in examining the country be tween Tar river and Raleigh for the pur-j pose of ascertaining the cheapest and most advantageous one. So soon as the portion of the Road from the Roanoke to the Chalk level was sat-i isfactorily located, it was decoded advi sable that it should be at once placed un der contract. The Engineer was then directed to let it out, and it is gratifying to state, that notwithstanding the increa- sea puce or laoor and provisions, tne whole located line has been put under contract, on terms not exceeding ten thousand dollars per mile, including the cost of the Gaston Bridge. Most of the contractors are now busily engaged on their respective sections. They are gen erally men of experience and skill, which gives us every reasonable assurance of their prosecuting the work with energy and despatch. In consequence of the immense emigration from this country to the west and south west, there has been some difficulty in procuring the desired number of laborers. Nearly seven hun dred are however already employed, and most of the contractors are supplied. If we can succeed in procuring a few more than are now engaged on the work, we may calculate with much certainty on getting the first forty miles of the Road in operation by an early period of the next year, to-effVct which the most strenuous efforts will be made by the Officers of the Company. As some reluctance was manifested bv the owners of slaves to rejy for the pay ment of their hire, entirely upon the re sponsibility ofthe individual contractors, to remove this difficulty and to secure the largest possible number of hands, it was thought advisable to give the securi ty ofthe Company, for the hire of slaves, whenever it was desired. By retaining from the monthly pay of the contractors a sum sufficient to idemnify us against this securityship, ho risk is incurred by the Company. The bridge at Gaston has been com menced, and three ofthe piers, together with one of the abutments, are above water, H the inclemency of the season or freshets in the River should not pre vent, there is every prospect of all the piers and abutments being completed in the courseof the Spring. The timber has been contracted for on favorable terms, and a part of it already delivered. A contract has also been made for the su perstructure, and there is little doubt ol its completion during the present year j so far as an estimate of its cost can now be made, it will probably not exceed forty thousand dollars. Contracts have been made on the greater part of the located line, for sills ; and many. of. the contrac tors have already fulfilled their engage ments. The sills are required to be of post or white oak, that being ascertained to be the mosl durable and suitable timber for this purpose. Several contracts have likewise been made for rails ; but on the sections nearest the River, some difficul ty has occurred in procuring them, owing to the great scarcity ot suitable timber. A-lnng a considerable portion of the Road, the owners of land, through which it pas sed, did not hesitate to relinquish the right of way, satisfied that the benefit to be derived from the Road would much more than compensate them for the slight injury thev might sustain but, in the county of Halifax and the lower part of Warren, we regret to say, there was but little liberality evinced by the land-hold ers. Proceedings have been instituted in these counties, for the purpose ol having the land condemned, according to the provisions of the Charter. On some of the petitions, the Commissioners have acted ; but as their reports have not yet been confirmed ; by the Courts, and as there are many cases which have not yet been submitted, we cannot ascertain what will be the amount, of Land damages. Private contracts have been made wher ever it was found practicable ; but there were some persons so obstinate or unrea-: TEIfR tJ&MZ 38, 1 837, so;nable that it was found impossible to contract with them. A difficulty which arose between the Company and Mr. Wilkins, the owner of thle land and Ferry at Gaston, has been amicably adjusted. The parties, finding it jimpracticabie to. agree between them selves on the amount of damages which Mr. Wilkins was entitled to receive, agreed to refer the matter td arbitration. Hfghly respectable and intelligent gen tlemen were selected for this purpose, anid after several unsuccessful attempts toj procure a meeting, it was at length fiqally determined, on the 1 6th day of January last, by awarding to Mr. Wilkins four; thousand five hundred dollars as a full compensation for the value of so much of his land as might be required lor the purposes of the Road, and for any damage or injury he might sustain in the value of his rerry, by the erection of the bridge. At a meeting ofthe Board of Directors, wliich was held on the 27th of February last, it was determined by, them to in crease the amount ot stock, and books of subscription were directed to be opened at 'Raleigh, Warrenton, Gaston and Pe tersburg, for one thousand additional Shares. Such was the disposition to in vest in this Stock, that, on closing the bcotvs. it was ascertained that instead of one thousand, the additional subscrip turn amounted to fourteen hundred and twentv four S'wires, on which the instal ment of two dollars per Share, amount trig to g2,848, was paid at the time of subscribing. As it was believed that more than this amount-would ?be eventu ally required to complete the work, and scaling was an operation attended with some trouble, and likely to give dissatis taction to the subscribers, the Board at their next meeting, determi the whole amount subscribed, so that the present Capital ofthe Company amounts toseven thousand and thirteen Shares wit,hin nine hundred and eighty seven of the original Capital authorized by the Charter. Some difficulty being likely to occur in procuring Rail-Road Iron in time foF the first portion ofthe Road, on account of (he increased demand for that article, arrangements were made at an early pe riod, with the house of Maury, Laijiam & Co. of Liverpool, for the purchase of a moderate quanti'ty, and a remittance of six thousand dollars was made to them ; but; it was subsequently thought proper to make arrangements to procure Jlie Iron through Messrs. A & G. Ralston of Phil adelphia. The principal inducement for employing the latter gentleman, was, that they are almost exclusively engaged in the importation of Rail Road Iron and Machinery, and have a competent agent in England to inspect the Iron-as it coines from the works; thus avoiding any loss by inferior or defective Iron, ; To these gentlemen, remittances have been made to the amount of thirty five thousand dol lars, on which interest is allowed by them until the funds shall be invested. For the purpose of defraying the expenses of Sur veys, and making remittances for Iron, an instalment of eight per cent, was cal led for by the Board, to be paid on the first day of August 1859, and it is grati fying to state that there were but two de- inquent subscribers on our list one of these for ten Shares died before the in stalment became due, but the instalments on this otock will soon be natd ; trie .o- ther, a subscriber for one Share, left the - State soon after subscribing, and has not ince been heard from. j For the purpose of meeting the expen ses of the Road, which arcr "expected1 to be heavy during the present; year, be- ncving tins to be a tavoraDie penou u call; for instalments, a requisition often dollars per Share, to be paid on the first of January, and another or a like amount, on the first of March, was mafte; and, at the same time, it was resolved by the Board, to allow interest on all anticipa ted payments, while interest was direct ed ?b be charged on all those w'hich might be deferred. Many Stockholders, have availed thentselves of the privilege, and the-amount of the January'instalment to gether with the anticipated payments up to the first of February, is seventy eight thousand, five hundred and ninety nine dollars and fifty one cents. An arrangement has been made for the running of a line of Stages-from Gaston via Warrenton, Louisburg aM Raleigh to Fayetteville, there to connect with the main Southern line. Tjiis is believed to be highly advantageous to the Company, as this line will connect with the Rail Road as soon as any portion of it may be comoLeted, and will commence running to and frdm Gaston probably in next month when the Greensville and Roanoke Road will reach that termination. Ar rangements have likewise bfeen made, whereby locomotives and 'cars, for the ; transportation of passengers and freight, will pe placed upon the Road, so soon as the completion of the briilgeiat Gaston, and any portion ofthe Road, shall justify it fcjut as experience has shown that the winter's frost tendsr very materially to settle the embankments, which may have beenjthrown up during the summer and fall months, whereby the inequality 'of the surface and considerable jexpense in levelling ithe Road may be avoided a due regard to the interest of the Stock holders, and the permanency of the work, may induce us to forego any immediate benefit, which might be derived from laying down the rails during the winter months, and to postpone putting the Road in operation until the succeeding spring. During the past session of the Legis lature, a Charter was obtained for the construction of a Road fro in Raleigh to the South-Carolina line, inlthe direction of Columbia; and we have no doubt that at the next session of the Legislature of that State, a Company will be incorpo rated for the further extension of it to Columbia, where it will unite with the great Charleston and Cincinnati Road, and thus complete the line. of Rail-Road communication between New-York and Charleston, along what isknown as the Metropolitan route. We look upon this as a matter of vast importance, not only to the Stockholders of this Road, to whose patronage we earnestly recommend it, but to the whole community, as travellers North and South will tjius be relieved from the danger and uncertainty attend ing a voyage by sea on our dangerous coast. It may be worthy the considera tion ofthe stockholders, whether it would not be politic and advance the interest of all concerned, that these two Roads, to wit, the Raleigh and Gaston, and the Raleigh and Columbia, be eventually con solidated. An effort was made during the last Session of our Legislature, to procure a subscription of 200,000 on the part of ; the State, to our Rail-Road, which was unsuccessful. Since the last Meeting of the Stock holders one of the Directors then ap pointed, Wm. Plummer, Esq. of War renton, has sent in his resignation, which was reluctantly accepted, and the vacancy supplied by the appointment of Duncan Cameron, Esq. A detailed Statement ot the Receipts and Expenditures ofthe Company during the last year, i herewith submitted. Vouchers for the expenditures are on file, and subject to the investigation of the Stockholders, to whom. any explanations required will be readily given. It was not. to be expected, with the limited knowledge and experience pos sessed by your President in matters of tli i kind, that the aff.tiYs of the Company should have been as judiciously managed, as it they had been entrusted to some one of greater skill. Indeed, he has been throughout sensible of his inadequacy to the 'discharge of the duties of an office, which lias been conferred upon him, more through the kindness and partiality of his friends, than from his. own deserts, He has, however, used every effort Jo pro cure information on the important matters entrusted to him ; and so far as his un remitted attention can contribute towards a speedy and faithful' execution of the work, he feels no hesitation in assuring the. Stockholder's that it shall be,coti- stantly devoted to their interests. By order of the Board of Directors, GEO. W, ITIORDECAI, Pres't. THRILLING NARRATIVE. The following anecting account ot a visit to the barn near Hempstead beach where were collected the dead of the barque Mexico, was written by a gentle man in New-York, tp his friend -in Bus ton ; On reaching Hempstead, I conclud ed to go somewhere off the road, to look at the place where the , barque Mexico was cast away. In half an hour, we came to Lou's tavern, some four or fiye miles this side of the beach where the ship lay, and here, in his barn, had been deposited the bodies of the ill-fated passengers which hud ben thrown upon the shore. I went out to the banu The doors were open, and such a scene as presented it self to my view, I certainly never could have conte in plated. It was a dreadful j a frightful scene of horror. v Forty or fifty bodies, of ail sizes and sexes, were lying promiscuously before me, over the floor, all frozen as stiff as marble -and all except a few, in the ve ry dresses in which they perished. Some with their hands clenched as if for warmth and almost every one with an arm crook ed and bent as it would be clinging, to the rigging. Thre were scattered about among the numbeliQur -'or five beautiful little girls, from , sfsfto sixteen years of age, their cheeks and lips as red as roses, with their calm ; blue eyes open, looking at you in the face as if they would speak. . I could hardlv realize that they were dead. I touchedtheir cheeks, and they were frozen. as 'hard and as solid as a rock, and not the least indentation could be made by any pressure ofthe hand. ' I could perceive a resemblance to each o ther, and supposed them to be the daugh. ters of a passenger liamed Pepper, w4o perished together with his wife and all the fami.Ijfi'K''X.; ; :- '-"';..

' J One female had a rope tied to her legri which had bound her to the rigging and another little fellow had been crying, and. thus frozen, with the muscles of his face; just as we see children when crying There was a brother and sister thrown on; the beach locked in each other's arms but they had been separated in the barn.; All the men had their lips firmly com pressed together, and with the most ago-! nizing expression on their countenance . I ever beheld, j "' A little girl'had raised herself on tip toe, and thus was frozen just in that po- jsition.
