* II A H AC T1-. U AND AttY AN T AUKS Of TDK LIN I’.
I'pon tho great and interesting question of tire
best manner of raising the additional capital ol lire
Company. I beg leave to suggest to the stockholders
what upon much ictlcctinn upon the subject, I have
always regatded as the most advisable course. The
outline ol the plan which I would venture to recoin
mend, is an immediate application to the Legislation
t i a subscription on thr pan of the State of thire
liltlis ol the proposed additional capital of sis mil
lions of dollars; and for nn authority to be given to
; the i'ompanv to subscribe on its own part, the other
I two-fifths of this nddionnl capital, and to hoiiow the
amout of the stihsnption upon the credit ol the cor
poratc funds; with the condition annexed, that so
I soon as the selling price ol the stock shall have
'ached its par value, the Company shall he under
an obligation to sell a number of shares cquivn
lent to tlu* number subscribed, and to apply the
proceeds of the sale to the reimbursement ol the
loan.
It the sum non ol the slot kin Iders and the State
| sli utd he given to tins measure, I have no doubt
[ that the loan could he uegociated in b'ltrope at an
| interest not exceeding ,r> per cent., and the plan
would be successful and liigliU advantageous in u
I tlier tc*peets—Tins conviction has been strongly
! confirmed bv the approval ol the Hoard ol hirer
tors, and I»\ that o| many ol tin* stockliohles with
w hom I have conversed upon the stibjei |, ami among
the number, I he distinguished 1'iesiderit ol the Hank
ol \iigiiua, whose opinion is emiil< d to the Ingest
respect. So der nb'd. indeed, was the opinion ol
Dot tor Hrockenbrongh, that upon being informed by
myscll of ci iiimunicatioiis coming Irom respeeta
ble trermau gentlemen residing in this country and
encouraging an application abroad, lie undertook at
tnv paiticiil.ii request to open a negm iation lor this
hji’et, and is in daily expectation ol a favorable re
sult.
It is scarcely to be nppiebeiulrd that the concur
fence ol the Slate would be withheld Irottl this plan,
as it is nit iedible that the Lei?islntlire will now a
b.union the woik, and it is impossible to devise more
rc nnomical terms.
I am apprised licit tins method of raising the midi
tinted capital will he opposed !>\ some upon the
ground ©I its supposed injustice to the present
stork hohlei s hv willuli awing Imuii the future divi
dends upon their stork, lint with all due tespeef,
I beg leave to lemaik, that the objection teems
to sprin • limn an irtipeifert conrrptioti of the n.i
lure and operation ol tlio plan ; for H uiiisl be rcrnl
lerled, tiial il the loan he so mniiaged as that the
payment ol inteir«t sh ill eornnienee near the period
at whicdi the uionev horrowed shall lie invcsled, the
stockholders id I he (’omp.ni> will have a dividend ac
cruing upon their pioper piopnition td the new stock,
to set oil against then tateable part of the interest of
tin' d« hi. i Ins dilfei lire would piohably he mean
si'-i'iM ddr, andl ouhl start ly he weighed against the
gir t appreciation in iho price of the old stork
which would infallibly result from the passage©! the
law.
1 hern c an lie no well founded charge of injus
ti' r agniri'l ill'* pi in heie | rnpos'-d ; because, the
oncm il sul->ci ibers were dMinelly inlomied, (bat it
would be called into i ecju tsl mil, if an immediate
subsei iptiou of the additional capital could not be
obi atned.
In my Address to the c itizens of Kichmond, in
(he mouth of I leceritlier, 1334, upon the occasion
of the memoiahlo subscription then made hy the
city, 11»o following passage is to be found m r» -
ferenro to the company*!* future financial means :
“ Hut, let tin; improbale supposition be indulged,
that the remaining capital of $3,300, 00, could not
be raised by a new subscription of stock, and lli.it
be company, like the Si ImvIkiH Navigation and the
Delawuie and K iritnn companies, should be com
pc I led to i»‘S'*it to the system ol borrowing, either
with or w ithout a specific pledge ol its lolls as a guar
antee for the intciesi and pniicip.il of the debt, thtfre
cannot be a reasonable doubt of the requisite legis
lative sanction to purposes so obviously expedient
and proper; m which evei t, the above staled in
come ol $1,009,600, might be divided and appropri
ated ns follow* :
“ For a clivi<h ud at G per cent, to the slot k
Imlders, $ ID8.O0O
“ For tin* payment of the annuity to the
obi James River company 21,000
“ For a sinking luud to pay the interest
and j i icipal debt. 260,000
•* For keeping the woiks in repair and other
annual cli ngc s 210,000
$1,009,500”
The address from which this passage is extiactcd
was printed in pamphh t liom, and communh ali-d to
the members of both Houses ul Assembly; w.i ex
tensively circulated among the citizens ol Kicli
mood, and given to the public through the papers of
the day.
is there any just ground for duobt or distrust as to
the filial success of the gicai couipnze itself, ot
which the plan of F'lbscriptioii now bmuglit
forward is intended to lie an auxiliary measure?
Perhaps it may be alleg* d, as was said ol the Slate it
self during the State system of management m tin
winter of 1623, that the estimates Inve been greatly
cxcccdej, and that it is better at once to lecedefrom
an un«uccesslul and ruinous scheme.
The estimates which were put forth in the ottii t
of our hue of’ iinpiovement related to tho time ol its
executioe, to the cost of its construction, and to the
probable profits to accrue upon the stock. In regard
to the progress of the work, it must be admitted,
that.iftlic whole field ol tliecompany’s labors is to be
taken into view, there is as yet no mucd whatever
lor disappoint men t or complaint. 1 welve yean* are al
lowed for the execuiionol the work, and il the pre
sent scheme of subscription should prevail, the
whole improvement may t>e completed to the Ohio
river hv the veer 1845. that is to say, in two year*'
less than the prenod precribod by I lie charter ii*'*•
I here is cverv reason to believe, that the c;*-**' w*^
Ire finished to Lynchburg, in the courserStiext au
tumn, ami, should this turn out to bo ,,lt* tact, and
due allowance be made lot the p^tereuce in the di
metiSions and the character ^,e two wo,^s» l^c
progress of our improvemr'*1 undoubtedly have
exceeded that of the ‘ ,,J,d
In regard to the excess ol the expenditures over
the original i >j"|l:,l, s' which upon the line of the
canal must n* admitted to be considerable, it is proper
dial j sj,rtulil remimhlie stockholders ol the material
facts rt,Jd circumstances which posibly may have es
caped their recollection.
In the com sc ol three years which elapsed be
tween the grant of the chain r and the consummation
of the subscription, two estimates of the probable
cost of the work were made by myscll; the one at
the session of 1 832 3-exhibitcd in a pamphlet enti
tled A Sym psts ul the Janies River and Kanawha
Improvement ; the other, in the pamphlet already re
ferred to, entitled an address to the Citizens ol
Richmond. The first of these estimates amounted,
inclusive of the million invested by the State m the
form of her vvoiks upon the hue, te $8,134,000 ; but
(this estimate expressly staled that it included no
provision whatsoever (or the very heavy items, ol a
line of locks from the ILimo hi Richmond to tin*
1 head ot tide water ; or lot the equipment of the rail
road with i n -ines, tenders, 6cc.; or the enlargement
! of the 131 tie Ridge canal; urof'the 30 miles ofold canal
I between Maiden’s Ndventiirw and Richmond. (Ste
• Synopsis page 4.) The other of these rwd estimate
I amounted. mrlusive ol the million in the bom ol
th« State** works on tlm line, lo $8,300,000—but
root lined no provision for th© outfit ol the railroad,
nod proceeded upon lire supposition on reducing the
length of nil ihr line of the canal, ol locks to be roll
sir ucied of hummer dressed stone nnd of th© whole of
the aequedttct* with superstructures of wood. (See
l printed Address, png© A to Id,) •
riiese rough estimates were made without any de
! tailed survey of the line to be estimated. Sine© that
; period ilx* line or iho canal has been located lor
| rntisitunion, and all th© aqueducts, with the exeep i
I lion ol that of Rocklish. v itlim re »eh ol the floods of |
| die n ihtitanes, it was decided lo build ihr superstr uc- ,
lilies ol Stoll© instead of wood ; ill© ctllveits have not ,
bteu eonstiueted as was then suggested ; all ill© i
stone locks ai© built of cut ©ion© ; and the lower level
1 of the canal has been eulaged into rcseivoit fur a vast j
water power, at an aggregate cost of upwards ol
I $.100,000.
To which may he added, that the damages fur
lands condemned lot the use of the canal, have very
l.»r exceeded the late geneially anticipated at the |
commencement of l he enlcpi iso.
Tlit* prit u ol ItiU.oi uUn, both mechanical and
common, has tanged tin ilio last linen yam*. above
what U was in llie liner proceeding year*, by about
! 10 m Ml pet cent.
The pi enrol estimates are detailed estimates made
: io the lie Id b\ p.iilo s nt engineers occupied csclit
I Mvcly in the business Ini ne.ulv nine months in the
Near, and have been governed by the pnc.es of the

exposition ol the tiiiiiHaetKilis ol the yeiu. Instead
ol going into statistic il details as to the present ae
til'll stme of the tunic, let an amount of tnnnagf be
, assumed, w bull all men pmpctlv informed upon the
subject wdl in i hesitate to concede as the rightful
propeitv «d ihe line.
Still Iii11her to simplify the proponed illustration,
let nothing In said ol the exact proportion ol tolls tip
on the ddleieiit parts ol tin* line, it being understood
that the rate, in no ease, shall exceed the maximum
hunt piesi iibed hv the charter, and that the aggie
gate amount actually levied tor any ol the supposed
distances, shall not exceed that ol the equable loll
assumed m the subjoined slaletiieiil.
Let it also be assumed, that (lit* tolls levied by the
; company Lover all charge* \v halsoever, except tin*
price paid to the ranici upon ilir l\ uiwha river and
the canal, and that the toll* go to ildiay annual
i harge«, as well as to leimineiu'c the capital invested
in the woik.
No average toll ol 2 cents per ton per mile from
l the valley ol the Kannwha to tlu* C'liy ot Kn hrnond
could not be complained ot. lo cause transpoit moo on
tlir i and being aboin nop rent, and upon iIn- Kanawha
. when improved about 3 1 of a rent, the whole
I cost ol lieighl bite ween l he Kills of Kanawha and
the city ol l! u hinund would be sumcw liat l< vs than 3
cents per ton per mile.
TIipsh data being settled, the following brief
smnm ai \ will exhibit the nniinil income lesolnng to
the company, from the moderate amount of tonnage
and passenger* assumed as passing upon the hue up
on the completion of the woiUn :
50.000 tons from and to pi ices below
L) nelibuig. supposed to pass ltd* unity
on the canal, at 2 cents a mle, $100,000
50.000 tons fiom and to Lynchburg, and
the < on nt ir m bet w ecu I hat and Buchanan
supposed to pas* 150 miles, at 2 cents
a nitlr, 150,000
50,000 tons from and to Buchanan, and the
counties between that and Covington,
suppntu d to pass 200 miles 2 < ts. a mile, 200,000
50,000 tons from and to Covington, and
the railroad between that and the Basin
At Loup Cieek Shoals, on the Kanawha
river supposed to pans 250 miles, at 2 cts.
i mile, 25 ',000
50,000 111us from and to the Basin nt Loup
Creek Shoals and the coiiutiy between
that and the Ohio, supposed to pass 400
miles at 2 cents a mile, 400,0( 0
50,000 tuns from the Ohio, supposed to
pass the whole length ul the improve
merit, 405 milts, at 1 cent per mile, 232,506
30 passengers eaeh way per day on the rail
road, making a total of (it) passengers per
day, at the rate of fro 50 per passenger, 120,450
Total income of the company, ,.'15*^,960
This sum would pay an annual interest of 6 per
cent, on #1 1.000.01*". ml still leave the sum of
$5791,960 to pav annual charges ami tho expenses of
transportation on the railroad, and to augment the
dividend !>ey< id (! per cent.
The rate of transportation and tolls here supposed
to prevail from the valley id the Kanawha to the city
ol KicIiiiioihI, is only d mills per ton per unio above
the rate on the Pennsylvania State hue from Plnla •
delpliia to Pittsburg. *
It is not pretended that the tonnage would^C ^

At the close ol the Annual Report, extended, as it
unavoidably has been by the peculiar circumstances

interesting subj ct in one or two of ns prominent ;
1 point*.
The Canal Commissioners ol tin’ Slate ol New
Vork, in a recent report, estimated that the lolls of
the ('anal when cnlaigrd will, at tin*, present rates,
pay annually Tluce Millions id Hollars, am) (hat one
hall*of that sum will lie received from property pas

ma financial point of v itw to institute an claboiate
investigation upon the subject of the correctness of
this rMimate of the Canal Commissioners; and fi
lially concluded by a report stating it is the opinion
ol the Committee, that the estimate of the Canal
