The rebuilding and relayiug the, Hamburg

(no% laid.witha heavy fange, and for which the
new irorwas lost .'at sea- ,)and the new road a
round the Inclined Plane, which is now far ad-
vanced. The Hamburg Road, we believe will
compare tavorably with any road in the country.
The Columbia ahd Camden Roads have been
also greatly inproved within the last year, and
are'now in excellent order.

not yet been quite finished, but in all probability
will be completed and in full operation by the
first Of April The sum total of4the cost of
this work, includtng the heavy iron 10 pounds
per vard) imported for it, and other work and
materials expended on it, will amount it will be
seen by the statement in the report herewith,

building the old road as it stands, from Aiken to
Granitevile Station be deducted from it, which
appears to be proper, the actual cost will be in
round numbers $4,000. About two miles of
the road are now in USE and an engine with full
trains of timber has.beeu passing un it.
