tendance is requested. as business OF inn
portancc is tp he transacted. We extract
the following remarks, relating 10 the COLI
dition of the road, from the Augusta
Chronicle dnd Sentinel, of the 29th:
We had the pleasure Of :. long interview
with Col. Johnson. the at,lu and energetic
President of the above road, II few day4
since, and were pleased to find the enter
PRISE Ill so very satisfactory q condition.
The grading is very nearly completed over
| the whole line, aud the most extensive and
expensive bridge on the road is in rapid
ut .lrrIi
Will be ready for the supcrstructure in a
few weeks, and We learn that contracts for
the necessary crOSS-ticS have already been
made, i'll whicli the contractors in most in
stances, are furnishing the ties for the
! stock Of the company. BY this arrange
ment, very little ready cash will be required
| for the completion OF the road, except for
the iron, chairs, spikes, &c An arrange
ment has already been made for the neces-
sary supply of chairs and spikes with the
| irodcgar Iron Works, at Richmond, so
that really the only pressing wan. for mo-
ney is for tho purchase OF IRON, and a small
amoHnt which Is required for the compile
ton OF tho Congarec bridge, and the re-
naming sections of carth-work and ma
sonry near Augusta.
| We arc gratified to state that the COM
pany is entirely free from debt. having
adopted, in the outset the plan Of paying
cash for all work done and material fur
nlshcd. This was Il wise and iudicicns
policy, the benefits of which arc being now
realized. With the road bed entirely COM
pleted without debt, it can go into tho
market and raise money. on its bonds, to-
purchase the iron. on more favorable terms
than perhaps any similar enterprise in the
South. The desire of the President and
Directors IS, to complete the road, in every
particular, for the reception of the iron,
without encumbering it with any liens or
debts of any charactc: They have Il small
cash balance still i'll their favor, from the
sales of cotton purchased during the war,
but this is not quite sufficient to pay for
the bridge and for the completion of the
grading and masonry near this city. They
therefore, ask from us the subscription of
800, 600 to their stock. With this amount.
the road bed can be completely finished,
and everything made ready for the recep-
ton of the iron.
