general desire Of the Stakeholder, to build
the road without ncurring large liabilities,
and 1t might perhaps be done after long
time, but the anxiety manifested by tho
travelling public for its completion, and tho
certainty frt by them that our Indebtedness
will hasten its operation and business, and
enable us to realise its benefits before con-
fiicting entcrpr!! !es get the start oi us in the
travel and mail transportations induces
them to do SO. More especially when there
is now every prospect of raising the value
OF our stock to point which will enable
Us to substitute il for the Bonds of the Com.
pany before a great while after it couimen-
ces operations. One fact is doomed not
unworthy Of being mentioned in support Of
the opinion of the Engineer as to the busi-
ness in transportation Of the road connec-
ted with tho production of cotton in the
country tributary to it BY the books of the
cOnsignces in Charleston it il ascetained
that during tho season Of 1S49-'50 3S,563
bales Of cotton were carried to Charleston
by the boats plying on tho Great PeeDee
River. From the reports in Georgetown
it appears that during the same season, lS,
800 were shipped from that port, and from
the census of Sumter District, recently lc-
turned, it appears that $4,000 4O0lb, bales
Of cotton were made in that District in the
year ls49. This makes in the aggregate,
74,663 bales of cotton for tho year lS49,
produced in a region tributary to our work,
and for part Of the year mainly dependent
on it for market The census of the past
year will, it is believed, exhibit fully as
great an increase in other products over
the last
With tho prospects now before IFS, it is
idle to think Of withdrawing in any manner
from tho vigorous prosecution of the work
How it ia to be carried on is to be submit
ted to- you however, and the Board feel eve
~ willingness to conform to your wishes.

BY pursuing this plan and with the aid
OF punctual payments from Stockholders,
the Road may be put in operation in lit
tie over two years; and assuming the FORE
going estimated receipts and expenditures
as correct and the interest and salaries at
$28,u0O it will be seen that the gain or
loss per annnn, (after deducting the inter-
est on the Bonds rroposep to be issued) as
the work is hasteDed or retarded, will be
Sl2l, 1892, more than sufficient in single
year to pay the discount upon the whole
Bonds.
The amount ofindebtedness thus Great
ed will fall short in proportion to capital
stock, of present liabilities of the South

deed Of majority Of Railroads in our coun-
try.

Executive CHAMBER, JACKSON, Feb.
3, ls5l.-In November, lS49, | was
elected by your suffrages, Governor Of
this State. My term OF office cons
menced with my Inauguration on the
10Th Of January, 1890. By the pro.
visions Of the Constitution, it will ex.
pire on the 10Th January, 1852. In the

active discharge Of its duties, am ,o. .

shal Of the Southern District Of Mssis.
sippi, by virtue OF process, originating
ont of charges exhibited against mo in
the District Court Of the u. States, for
the Eastern District Of Louisiana, for
an alledged violation OF The neutrality
law of 1918, by beginning, setting on
foot and furnishing the means fer a
military expedition agains. the Island
Of Cuba.
Under these charges, the Marshal is
directed TO arrest me, and to remove
my person 10 the city Of New Orleans,

Unconscious Of having, in any res.
pcct violated the laws OF the country:
ready ut all times 10 meet any charge
that might be exhibited against me, |
haze only been anxious, in this cxtraor.
dinary emergency, TO follow The path Of
duty. AS citizen, it was plain and
clear, | must yield 10 the law, however
oppressive or unjus in my case; but,
as Chief Magistrate Of sovereign
State, had also in charge her dignity,
her honor, and her sovereignty, which
| could not permit 10 be violated in my
person. Resistance by the organized
force Of the State, while the Federal
Administration is in the hands Of men
who appear 10 seek some occasion TO
test the strength Of that Government,
would result in violent contests, much
to be dreaded in the present crtica!
condition Of the country.
The whole South, patient as she is un.
der encroachmen,, will look with some
jealousy upon the employment Of mill.
tary force to remove Southern Gov.
ernor from the jurisdiction Of his State,
when it had been withheld from her
citizens seeking to reclaim fugitive
slave in Massachusetts.
On the other hnnd, the arrest and
forclble removal from the State, OF her
Chief Executive Magistrate, for an in
definite period Of time, would not only
90 degradation Of her sovereignty,
bnl must occasion incalonlable injury
and disaster 10 the interests of The
State, by The entire suspension Of the
Executive government. The Consti.
tuition has not contemplated suchinn
even. as the forcible abduction of the
Governor. II has not provided for the
performance Of his duties by another
officer, except in tho case Of eacdacy.

A Correspondent Of the Buffalo
Commercial Advertiser gives the fol
lowing description of a volcano in the
vicinity of the great Salt Lake: 4.
'Th!s volcano is a plain Of mud,
and on the borders Of the Lake. It
is composed Of mud, and covers sew.
eral acres. Steam and water are,
escaping from halea-dozen apertures
The mud is raised up into cones, the
highest not FIVE feet from the general
surface. They are terminated by:
tubes, some hardened and lined witt,
crystals Of sulphur and othersubstan-
ces. One of the cones throws steam
and water ten or fifteen feet into the
air. It escapes rapidly, and with d
sound resembling the escape of steam;
from the pipe of a small steam engine;
and it elects hot and cold water at,
intervals. One cauldron, some fonr
feet across. boils up until ii overaows,
then sinks several feet, and again
overllows. Nothing is seen but q
mass Of foam; the water is strongly
imprcgnated with sal.am-monia.
