To the Stockholders of the Greenville and Columbia R. 11.

It will doubtless be agreeable to you to havo pi eseuted in one Report the important matters contained in these several Reports, and we therefore give you the following items which we consider of most interest: The Tabular Statements of J. F. Southern, Auditor and Treasurer, show-Hie financial operations of tlio Company. Table No. 1 is an Exhibit of the Capital Stock, Liabilities, Properly and Assets. From this it will be seen that on the 31st or December, 1859, Ibe Capital Stock amounted to . . .

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 fourd to be correct and properly vouched. Table No. 3 is an exhibit of the expenses of working ihe road. It will there be seen that i the expenditures nmount to $184,954 58 The expenses of tho previous year. were 215,320 04 ' Showing a diminution of . 80,306 09 Table No. 4 in an exhibit of the business done, amounting to . $381,601 98 1 To which may be added receipts from ^ minor source* .... 671 99 I Aggregate income . . . 882,173 64 The business of the previous year, j amounted to .... 341,190 66 I Showing an increase of . . 40,983 08 In this amount is included freight on iromvaila for (l.?9 Air D ?

This increase in business and reduction in expenses is encouraging, and we think roust be satisfactory. <- Table No. 5 ia an Exhibit of business 1 dono at the different stations. L From these Tables it will be seen, that tthe gross income of. the past year,exclusive f of that p$id in stock of the 8. St. E. R. Co., amounts to . 9305,087 48.

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 * ~ - ' K?u 1UU |jiukwua 1I|'|M1CU 1U llisiuy up I lie Bonds where the holders are not willing to reccive them in exchange. As there is but ' one lien on the Road, these Bonds, aa they 1 |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 perfect. " < Tl.~ T>?-i -f il.. n 1 n . iuo iwpurv ut me vxucerai oupennien- 1 dent is a succinct statement of the opeia- ' lions of the Road, its casualties and theim- 1 proycinent that have been made. You ' will see from it that the works o? co'astruc- ^ tion have been steadily oarried on, and are ' of a character to inflect much credit upon those employed- thereon. We take special pleasure in referring to the Bridge at A-Utctti 1 (built by Messrs, Murdock and Renno,) ' which in every, pail exhibits snperb work* 1 roansbip. It being iljotfe b*gh wnUr, we ' do not doubt tMt it will last $>r thirty, 4 The Tieavy wOfrka of conatructionn now 1 commenced will b^comploted in the course A of tbe present y^ar, after which, the ac- > oow^for construction may.be olowcl, and a < vify hpagy. drain on pur reiaoiiroes lopped off 1 Since th^repcfrt of 1863,'there baa been* \ fwUed to4tojKpripm*nt and' cast of the ( Road the ao&f of $1,238,050 01, expended 1 A * * for permanent works of construction and machinery; without this expenditure, or a argo part of it, the Road now would bo in ruins and worthless; but with it; it is in r good repair, worth double what it was at the timo above mentioned, and deserve to rank with tho Bret class Southern Railroads. Thus has yotlr pfopefty been doubled In value, mainly upon the credit of the Company and Board of Direction, without contribution from you. As to tho merit, prudence or wisdom in the course pursued in bringing about tho present result, we tnnst, leavo it to others to pronounce upon. The Report of James B.

To this officer and to Mr. J. B. Lasalle, who has always bean alive to the interests of the Company wo are in a great measure indebted for the management of the Work Shops, which aro so important to the safety in working the road. Mr. Raworth, the General Superintendent isontitled to an expression of our approbation for his skill, industry and indefatigable efforts in working the Road and managing the works of improvement, and especially for his success in bringing down the expenses In nn pmnnminnl KtanHar/4 The officers and operatives generally have been attentive to their duties, and we take pleasure in thus publicly expressing our approbation of them. All which is respectfully submitted. By order of the Board, TDOS. C. PERRItf, President* Greenville, 27ih March, 1860 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?.

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.

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.

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 ' **' w 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 hero would consent to his will beiner served ; be would bo obeyed.?It. W.

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.

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.'
