The copies of the survey of the Cairo and Fulton railroad having been forwarded to the General Land Office and to the local land off, ces respectively aothin ninety days after the con- pleton of the survey, there is now no dangerof losing the work done under any construction which may be placed upon the laws on the subject. The company having by the action of its Executive committee bound itself vo- luntarily to surrender all it's franchises to the Statc together with all the documents, reports and papers, evidences of the survey of the road upon being requested by an act or joint resolu- tion of the General Assembly to do so, and at the same time making an appropriation of not exceeding $35 ,OOO, at the present session to in- demnify the company for all the expenses of making the survey, obtaining the right of way from individuals for the road as far as the same has been obtained, there seems now to be no obstacle whatever in the way to retard for one moment any action which the General Assem- bly, may choose to have to insure a full settle ment of the question, in which the people of the State feel so deep interest, and upon which they are anticipating such action as will cause the early commencement and certain con- struction of the road
 In ord CT that the General Assembly might have complete and full information on the sub- ject, so as to judge of the character and ability of the stockholders in the Cairo and Fulton railroad company, and act understandingy in do- hating the lands to the company, or in divesting them of their franchises, should the General Assembly deem it to the interest of the State to do so, at my suggestion and request the Pre- sident of the company has furnished me with complete list of the stockholders, showing the amount of stock taken by each in the Cairo and Fulton railroad company; and copy of the letter of the President transmitting said list and copy of the list of stockholders are here with furnished as follows, to witt
