progress, and bring the capabilities of the Road
into full and efficient action; enter upon the
payment of regular and certain dividends, and
give the shares an appreciable and permanent
value. Relying upon the soundness of these
conclusions the Board have instructed us, in an
noGncing the call of the instalments, to apprise
you also Of the confident expectation they en-
tertain that in July next they will commence.
and continue regularly, as they believe, the pay
ment of semi-annual dividends out of the ear
nings ofthe Company; and we are directed to
express the hope that this statement of your af-
fairs will inspire you, as it has them, with re-
newed confidence in the enterprise, and prevent
any sacrifice of the shares. The moderation of
their views does not permit them to encourage
the expectation of larger dividends than per
cent but even the most prudent will readily ad.
init that it is very far from unreasonable to ex-
pect that the income will be greater, and the
expenses less, than the SUNS stated in the fore
going estimate: results that would, Of course,
materially enlarge the dividends, particularly as
the interest on the permanent debt would be
stationary.
1t will also be borne in mind, that very great
extensions of our communication will soon take
place by the Grecnville and Anderson, Char
lotte and Manchester Roads, aud by the Roads
in Upper Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee,
which are coming to completion, and that very
considerable additions to the transportation and
travel, and consequently to the profits of our
Road, must, hereafter, result from their compile
tion The extent of the future increase of in
come from these sources, we do not pretend to
estimate but every intelligent mind will per-
ceive its bearing upon the present value of our
shares.
With these results in prospect, not share
ought to be sold at any sacrifice, nor should ne
cessity force any to make such sacrifces.-
Money is abundant everywhere, and cannot be
scarce here. This is a great public work, in
which the State, the City, and many of our
Banks and other public institutions, are largely
interested; and those private stockholders who
require some aid to meet this call, cannot, un-
der such circumstances, and at such n time, fail
to obtain it. In orderto facilitate the payments
as much as possible, the calls will be made as
