It will bo perceived that a laree increase in tho amounts

she is now a hew Boat fit aU ftitt her Name : Also, to meet

the true policy to bbtaia sufficient number of cats and loco
motives to dd'tliB btisjnessrof tho Road promptly, atid to car

about 40 freight cars have been purchased, and paid for du

mont were judiciously made. , ; ' ' .
Notwithstanding the most persevering cy;f. j
part of our Engineers and agents of IransrK -(0
dent, to one or moro of our Locomotives, induced tho Board;
to order ono additional Engine, which is to be delivered in
April next. This together idi. guo' which we are having:
constructed io the sdiopsj ViH place the company i posses-'
sion of ample power to meet the demands in this department,
i We tako pleasure instating that our, company has hever

present timav the Road being well stocked with 'locomotif C5 :
'coaches and freight ears: alt in-excellent ; order, and our '
Steam Boats in like good condition, with the xcention of tho
Dudley which will require repairs thi year. - ' 'A' - V-1 ' f
In our report to . yo.al your last annual mectin&' thtf
opinion was expressed and confidently, believed that bcfblo
this time, we should have- completed the re-laying ot hV ,
Road, wilh the heavy Iron Rail, but owing to circumstance '
we could not control, we have been Mmable to fulfill thi
promise, vv c nave lost nearly two months waiting for Iron;
and dining the month of. July we could not lay down Rails
owing to our inability to transport them over the Neu$e-f " - 1
We have yet about 14 miles' So relay, the Iron for .Which is '
daily expected, bills of lading for 4 Cargoes naying, been a!- ( - ,
ready received. .; - ' t"v ' ' f ' -y'J ' '
We had hoped at this meeting to present you with, an i ac-
count of the entire expense of reVonstructiou. whereby voa s '
migni see me wnoie cosf pi me. tioaa to date. , We regret . -that
we have been disappointed hi this,' but we are gratified '
in saying tnat our anticipations of the r saving in expenses: :
consequent upon the re-construction of the Road in every de-r t
partment in which we have been enabled, lo test them, have ; - x
been fully realised. ' " , t i
The Road so far as it has been rclaid compares favorably
with the best roads hi our Country, audi instead ol the com- .
Elaints and denunciations of travellers 'which have been
caped upon us for years, without stint, and Which were to
some extent deserved when our old flat bar road wai in use, 1
we hear from all, commendation and nraUe for the ease and 4
speed with which they are transported over our line. . - r
During the year a contract was made, to embank so much ? '
of the truss work' at Rodcfishvaud Neuse River, as it was . " 1
deemed safe to close j up, ; Tho fctalJankiocnt on lh;,nouth, t

ing found to be too small to hold the goods offered for tramv: " '
iwrtation. This extension it is expected will be finished iaJ

The Board were induced to make a contract with th ;
Washineton and New Oilcans Telegraph -companr to put
