HARLEE, President Wil. & Man. Rail Road : Sih. I Imve tlit) hoiior lo submit, fomhe infornation ol the Bo;ird, the third annual Report of this department; exhibiting Ola progress of the work during the year endfofc 31st iJeceniber. ' '' The iircompanyinf abstract, marked A n. and C, exhibit, in detail the progreaaof the conlrncu for gradual ion in each month of the year; the amount executed during tht) yenr, and the total" tmbtnt from the- com mencement of the work. The amount of. work due during the fcaat exceedt that of th previous yenr 133.385 cubic yards, equivalent , trt the average rrquired on ten mito of Road ; and trie nfaoAftf exetoted at theex pirntion of the year fa equal Xtt'one-half of the total amount required in the Graduation of the whole Road.- 5 The high' price of cptlpn toring .tho year, and the cpnseqqerit fncreaae'lnf the demand and price'of labor, induced, tome ot the con tractors to withdraw a large number of their hands, during the summer roon'.ha, than wat anticipated wjjen the contracU were made, and when cotton wna telling much below he present value ; while othera bare abandoned their contract, prtlerring to forfeit Hw re aervntioti of twenty five per Cent of the value of the work executed, and pay up tho re mainder of their Slock in cash.' " . Under inatructionafrom the Board I have enitrt'd into a'edntractwith a Company of Stnckholdcri'Tor the Graduation unroutracfed for in North Curolina at the date of my laat -Report. From the known energy and e-r pcniMice of these gentlemen on other portion of the line, I have every assurance ol tho speedy completion of the contract, and in ft manner satisfactory to the Compaoy. ' 1 f Between Suntterville and the Camden Branch, the contract or Graduation are or will be completed in time tor the reception of. the Iron, with two exception!, the nrat ad- j jacenttothe Junction, and the lalter on the wtstt'rn siile of Catie Savanna Swamp, and 1 containing respectively 17500 and 33,0CCt cubic. anls. Elforta have been made to rev" let (tie letter, and to obtain additional forte to hasten the complclion of the former, buf without success. On this portion of the line the contracts have been difficult to let, from the heavy work required on the Graduation the inferior quality and , scarcity of' timberr and the difficult V of imroporting it to the lino of the Road. As the Iron for tbiat portion of. the Road will aoon arrive la Cbarleatoo, some provision should be made tot the ex penditurea required to put H la Operttior, which are more particularly explained in Ktatciueiit marked U hereunto annexed.
