Gentlemen :
It is to be regretted that I am compelled by the extraor-dinary

Increase per month 1865, over 1864, 930 10
There has been a steady and gradual increase of the re-ceipts
of your road since it commenced operations, as you will
learn by reference to the different reports of the officers from that
time. It is proper here to remark, however, that the salaried
officers of the Company have not been credited with the a-mounts
due them but for the first six months of the fiscal year,
ending May 31st, 1865. Hence, a considerable amount in
Confederate money is now due those officers and employees and
contractors of the Company, which should be added to the op-erating
expenses given above. And on the other hand, the
Company purchased and still has in its possession, a lot of car
wheels, which cost over ,$25,000, besides other material of
some value, which will be found in the report of the Master
Machinist, which were not received in time to be used, before
the surrender of the Road. This amount is amply sufficient to
offset the debts referred to,, and these figures give yt>u a fair in-sight
into the receipts and expenses of the Company for the
period stated. It would doubtless have been much more satis-factory
to you, as well as to the Board of Directors, to have
had all the proper entries made and the books posted to the end
of the fiscal year. Such "was the earnest desire of myself, but
under the circumstances, it was impracticable, for various rea-
9
sons, to have it done. The collapse of the Southern Confede-racy
in April last, suddenly changed the currency in the State,
and upset all arrangements and contracts in relation to wages,
salaries and debts of all sorts. Therefore, from that date, if
justice does not demand it for a month or two earlier, as there
was such a ruinous depreciation in Confederate money for some
time preceding the surrender of the Southern armies, the offi-cers
and employees of the Company, as well as contractors, I
presume, ought and will be paid in the current money of the
country. To enable us to come to some understanding with
them in reference to this matter, that the books might be post-ed,
the President summoned the Directors to meet in Golds
boro' on the 7th June last, but a quorum failed to attend for
some cause unknown to him.
The Treasurer of the Company, Mr. J. Cieero Justice,
had in the meantime tendered his resignation through me to the
Board of Directors, to take effect on the day of their meeting.
It w as not accepted by me, as I had no authority to do so, but
as he had made every necessary preparation, in anticipation of
its ac ceptance, to accompany his family to the State of Illinois,
where he expects hereafter to reside, and as your Finance Com-mittee
had examined his books and vouchers, I felt, notwith-standing
my regret at his leaving his office at this particular
time, that it would be doing him injustice, if not an injury, to
longer oppose it ; hence, gave my consent, but with the under-standing
that he would return by the Company's paying his ex-penses
whenever its interest might require his aid in the settle-ment
of any of their contracts or accounts. The office Mr.
Justice has voluntarily vacated he has filled for six years, and
doubtless he would have been retained in it if he had so desired,
for perhaps an indefinite period. During his long service, it
gives us pleasure to state, he faithfully performed his duty,
been remarkably correct in all his transactions and given entire
satisfaction, I believe, to the Board of Directors. The books
and papers of the Treasurer are now in the temporary posses-sion
of Mr. W. H. Harvey, the Superintendent of Govern-ment
Transportation of this Company.
In connection with this subject I would state,, that imme-diately
after the surrender of Gen. Johnston and his army, I,
then being in Greensboro', called upon Gov. Vance, who was
also there, to ascertain what disposition to make of the trains,
the books and papers of the Treasurer and Agents, and other
10
property of the Company, wlncli just previous to the evacuation
of Goldsboro' had been carried up the North Carolina Road
for safety, when the Governor attempted to confar with Gen.
Sehofield on the subject by Telegraph, as follows :
Greensboro', April 30th, 1865.
Maj. Gen. SCHOFIELD,
Raleigh, N. C,
:
A large number of trains belonging to the Atlantic and North
Carolina Rail Road, and other roads in the eastern part of the IState,
have been accumulated near this place. Can they be permitted to
return and resume operations under their present organization, and
if not what disposition do you propose to make of them ?
Z. B. VANCE.
At that time, as all dispatches had to be approved by Gen.
Johnston, before they could be transmitted, I took the above to
that officer myself for his approval, when he informed me it was
not necessary to send it, that he would probably need these
trains fo,r a few days, after which time, by the terms of the sur-render,
they would pass into the possession of the Commander
of the United States Army in North Carolina.
One of our trains, in charge of Mr. Harvey, on which
were the books and papers of the Company, was then at the
Company Shops. It had been employed by the Governor of
the State especially for the removal of the valuable effects of
the Treasury and other Departments of the State, and also of
the North Carolina Banks, or of as many of them as desired
its use. After the capitulation of the Southern Army, these
effects had been temporarily deposited in Greensboro' and the
train was now ordered to return by Gov. Vance to that place,
agreeably to the directions of Gen. Schofield, to take the State
and Bank property back to the City of Raleigh. I went down
on this train with Mr. Thomas Webb, President of the North
Carolina Rail Road, and together, we called early after our
arrival on Col. Boyed, the Chief Quartermaster of Gen. Scho-field.
Not being able to learn any thing definite from him, res-pecting
our affairs, I deemed it advisable in the absence of the
Board of Directors, to employ counsel, and after consultation
with B. F. Moore, Esq., already employed by the Company,
and the Hon. R. S. Donnell, we addressed the following com-munication
to the General Commanding
:
l'j
Raleigh", May 4th, 1865.
Maj. Gen. SCHOFIELD, Commanding &c, N: C, Raleigh.
Sir :—Having been President of the Atlantic and North Carolina
Rail Road Company at the time of the surrender of Gen. Johnston,
and having now in my possession and under my control a considera-ble
number of engines, coaches, box and flat cars, I desire to place
them under your control. They are for the most part above the
city of Raleigh, on the North Carolina Rail Road. If you shall
desire to possess them, so soon as I shall be informed of your pleas-ure
I will cause them to be brought to such point on the Railroad as
you shall designate. The books and papers, of the Company show-ing
the past administration of its affairs, are also in my possession.
They are valuable to me as furnishing the evidence in what manner
I as the President of the Company have discharged my duties and
disbursed its funds. They will constitute my only means of defence
against any charge of maladministration, if I should be assailed.
I hope to be allowed to keep these. If, however, you should desire
them, I will deliver them also, trusting that they will be safely kept.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
JOHN D. WHITFORD.
In reply, he stated to me in person, that the Rail Roads in
the State were the property of the United States Government
by conquest ; nevertheless, he was satisfied the Government
would extend great liberality to the different corporations, and
return their works after awhile. But they would be held, or
some of them, ours included, and operated for a season strictly
as Military Roads, and for the convenience of his army.
—
I was then referred to Col. Boyed, his Chief Quartermas-ter,
to arrange with him in regard to the trains and other
property of the Company. Without delay I called upon
Colonel Boyed, to whom we feel indebted for his kindness
and courtesy, who readily gave permission for me to keep the
books and papers, and such other property of the Company as
might not be required by the Military in their operations of the
road, and requested that the Engines and Cars should be sent to
Goldsboro'. This request was complied with as far as in our
power. We had one train of cars with locomotive then up on
the Western North Carolina Road for safety, which could not
return in consequence of the destruction of some of the bridges
during the Stoneman raid through that region of the State.
The locomotive and those of the cars in the train that escaped
12
destruction, are still on that road. You will be informed more
especially of the loss hereafter, in connection with the Master
Machinist's report.
We have laid these matters before you at some length, as we
were then convinced that your interest demanded that we should
use every proper exertion to get possession of the Road, and if pos-sible
to retain possession of the rolling stock. The Road we were
anxious to keep, or re-possess, that we might derive the benefit of
the press of freight and travel that we conceived would follow im-mediately
after it was opened to Newbern and Morehead City. If
we had been successful no doubt it would have put into your Treas-ury
a sum sufficient to have paid current expenses at least and, per-haps,
left a surplus which would have enabled the Company to have
operated hereafter without embarrassment and until business re-sumed
its original and natural channels. In all this it is true we
were disappointed, not as you have seen for the want of a timely and
prudent effort on our part. It was sincerely hoped if we could not
succeed in getting the Road we would in keeping the rolling stock
.
If it passed from our control, we were fearful, it would be placed
into the hands of persons who could only expect to run it tempora-rily
and hence it could not be presumed that they wouJd take as
much care of it as our own engineers. No one except those thor^
oughly conversant with machinery can imagine its rapid deteriora-tion
when run or handled by incompetent or negligent persons, or
the large outlay of money and the time that is requisite to repair
the damage of a few month's improper use of a locomotive, and to
put it again in ordinary running order. We do not say such has
actually been the result of the transfer of your locomotives and cars
to other hands. We know nothing about their present condition.
They may, and we sincerely trust, have been improved by the change.
However, we do know when they were taken from the Company
from the interest manifested in them by our Master Machinists,
Locomotive Engineers and Mechanics,and by their indefatigable ef-forts,
they were mostly in very good order and equal generally to the
rolling stock of any Railroad in the State, notwithstanding the dis-advantages
we labored under of having no regular shops and but
few tools of the right kind for machine work. We regret that we
cannot give you any reliable information in regard to the present
condition Of the Road, the larger portion of it as you are aware has
been in the possession of the United States government, or army,
for more than three years, and the line from Goldsboro' to Kinstou
since the middle of March last. Before we left this section we
were replacing the rotten ties and had effected contracts to renew all
that were unsound during the year. The Road bed was iu excellent
order and the embankments had been but recently widened and
1.1
TaiouU, the cuts cleaned out and the ditches deepened, the old tim>
bers over the culverts had all been replaced with new ones and the
bridges were as sound and substantial as when constructed. The
ware- houses at Kinston, Mosely Hall and G-oldsboro', were in good
repair except the platforms and steps of the two former required re-newing.
For that purpose the lumber had been engaged for a con-siderable
time, but never delivered in consequcence of the distracted
state of the country. Below Kinston we have had no opportunity
to ascertain positively the character of the work done on. the Road
by those who have had it in charge. I, however, have passed over
the entire line to Morehead City, within the past two months, and
casually visited the shops at Newbern. From an observation, in
passing, the shr>ps and other Railroad buildings in that Town, and the
machinery and tools in them were in as good state of preservation
as could have been expected after the time that had elapsed since we
left them. At Morehead City very extensive and costly additions
have been made to the Railroad Wharf by the Government of the
United States. But unfortunately the work is not permanent, as it
rests entirely on wooden piles and can stand but a year or two, in
consequence of the ravages of the worm, Teredo navalis, which are
so abundant in the waters on our sea coast, particularly during the
fall months of the year. If this be so, and many of you know we
have not made an exaggerated assertion, the improvement can
only be but very temporary, if of any benefit whatever to the Com-pany,
though we admit the same amount of money expended in the
construction of an iron pile wharf similar to yours at that place
would have perhaps answered the purpose of the Government and
been of such service to the Company as would have justified quite a
heavy outlay for its purchase. Some other work has been done by
the Government Agents at Morehead City and Newbern, such as
putting inside tracks, &c.,but whether they wjll.be requisite or not
for the convenient and economical operations of the Road hereafter
we are not prepared to say. The ware-house at Carolina City has
been taken down and carried off, aad not a vestage of the wharf at
that place is left; the side track still remains and appears now to be
of little or no use. On the line of the Road the bridges have all
been destroyed at different times since the commencement of the
war and have been replaced with trestle work, except the Scott's
Creek and Smith Creek bridges, near Newbern, and the Stony Creek
bridge near Goldsboro'—aggregate length 228 feet. Those burned
were the Bear Creek, Falling Creek, Neuse River, South West
Creek, Core Creek. Bachelor's Creek, Trent River, Slocum's Creek,
and New Port River, besides about 75 feet superstructure of slue
bridges—aggregate length 3321 feet—all by different Commanders
of the armies of the Confederacy, notwithstanding we had strenu-
14
ously opposed such unnecessary loss to you iroin first to last and from
the beginning of our difficulties to the termination of the war, we
had earnestly and constantly protected against it. To save if prac-ticable
the two remaining sectious of the Neuse River bridge, (we
had been reliably informed that their destruction or safety depended
entirely upon whether the enemy advanced from Newbern or not,)
I addressed, a short time before the last Kinston battle, a communi-cation
to Gen* Baker, then commanding North Carolina, on the sub-ject,
in which T state:
" When the army under Gen. Foster was met i. dvancing from
Newbern, by the gallant Gen. Evans, all of our bridges, and all
other property of the Railroad at and near Kinston, were placed
under my control to destroy or not as in my opinion, the interest of
the service might require. This confidence would have led to their
destruction if there had been any cause for it. Not being able to
see any benefit his aimy, the service or the country eould derive
from the burning of Railroad property, or any disadvantage it could
be to the- enemy at that time, I had nothing destroyed, and although
it passed into the hands of the enemy it was all returned in a few days
after the battle of Kinston to us, without having received the
slightest injury—hence, our operations were scarcely interrupted, and
it was all, without presumption, attributable to a little common sense
and discretion."
A^ain:
"1 honestly confess I have never seen any injury the United
States armies sustained, or any advantage the Confederate States
armies gained by destroying any of the bridges on the lire of the
Atlantic & North Carolina Railroad. The destruction of the draw
in the Trent River Yiaduct would have prevented the pursuit by
the enemy of our flying troops, as effectually as did the total de--
struction of that grand and beautiful, work."
We were exceedingly solicitous about the safety of the bridge
referred to, as we believed the section next to the high land eould
be taken down and thrown over the river, and between the abut-ments
could be filled in with earth, the track laid thereon and the
trains run over it with perfect security. But if they were lost, we
would then have the insecurity of the trestle work in the Neuse for
a considerable time, as well also as over the river bottom. Gen. Ba-ker
promptly referred this matter t© Col. Whitford, then command-ing
at Kinston, with instructions not to burn the bridge for the rea-sons
I had suggested* That officer informed me on the 24th Feb.
15
1865, " The bridge will not be burned. It would be unnecessary,
as the enemy hayc bridges already built for the Road, and the de-struction
of a rail road bridge would be no obstacle to him." This
assurance made us feel that it was secure, and we were astonished
when we heard it was finally destroyed, not, however, we are grati-fied
to state, bj the orders of either of the officers alluded to : by
whose orders we have been unable to learn, and we presume it is now
immaterial to you.
Of the present situation of the Road bed east of Neuse River,
we are not able to inform you. In the track we know a large num-ber
of new ties, many of them of very inferior timber, have been put
by order of the Military Superintendent of the United States Roads,
during the last few months. This will render the superstructure of
the Road safe for the running of trains for a year or two at
least. Buring the period of the war a considerable quantity of the
iron was taken from the road between Kinston and Newbern, by order
of the Secretary of the Navy of the Confederate States, agreeably
to an arrangement he made with the Governor of North Carolina.
Much of this iron had been previously damaged by the Southern
army, but some of it was not injured. To the perfect rails being car-ried
off we objected,but the Governor stated he was compelled to make
a virtue of necessity, and give his permission to the Government to
take some to prevent their taking all, without it. The exact num-ber
of tons thus disposed of we are unable to give you. It could at
any time be readily ascertained by having measured the distance re-laid
with the new iron, which is a lighter rail than ours, and by sub-tracting
the quantity sold by the company in accordance with the
resolution of the Stockholders adopted at your last annual meeting.
Under this resolution I sold to parties as authorized, upwards of
two hundred tons of rails, and the amount received for the same,
was paid on the debt due the State, as you directed, and as you will
presently see by the following report of the Treasurer of the Com-pany.
We disposed of no other iron and none other was carried off
the Road, except about two-thirds of a mile we had at Best Station
which was taken up and laid on the North V/arolina Road near
Boon Hill, by those in charge of the United States Military Trains,
after the evacuation of Goldsboro.'

J, CICERO JUSTICE, Treas?
IS,
The Board of Directors have fellj since its creation the deepest
solicitude in reference to the liquidation of the State debt. They
were aware, if it were allowed to stand without being annually re*
duced, in a few years, the interest would so accumulate that you
would be unable to pay it,,and the interest of the counties and individ-ual
stockholders in the road would, if the mortgage were foreclosed, re-vert
to the State, therefone, we have appropriated all the available
mcans,at all 'times, in our hands to its payment. And it is gratifying to'
lay before you a statement which shows nearly the entire payment of
the accrued interest up to date, and more than one-half of the prinj
YV \ *':-. cipal of the debt. This was done too by the legitimate operations'
of the Road, with the exception of .the payments made with the
jjH Y,. sales of iron and the Carteret County Bonds. If it had been possible
to collect from the Confederate Government the amount due u :
, as
it was earned we could and would have paid the whole debt. As it is
v:e are strongly of the opinion when the affairs of the country get
settled, it would be politic for the Company to borrow as authorized
by the charter, a sum sufficient to pay off this debt, which prohibits
you from declaring dividends until the principal and intere tare both
paid, provided it could be done upon such terms as wcv'd ai ow
you to pay annually the interest and only so much of the principal
as you might desire. This arrangement, if. the Road 're manaued
with onl$ ordinary ability, would insure in a short time dividends
from your receipts and put the stock of the, Company up to the vain
ue of that of any Railroad company in the State.
ro ; • One. of the contracts for the construction of the Road, was not seti
tied and closed prior to the War,andin consequence of a disagreement
between the Company and contractor, suit was instituted for a settle-ment.
We believe this occurred more in participation of what
would be claimed, than the real claims of both parties, who are now
ready, iWe think,, to abide by any fair and equitable adjustment for
their interest. We hope \theiefore that it will be settled speed-ily
and for the welfare of all concerned.
Your attention is invited to the Reports of the Treasurer, Su-perintendent-
of/Govemment Transportation and Master Machinist,
-and also to the Inventory of Tools and Material herewith furnished
,;} | you.

I .woukl'bc doing injustice tO»my own feelings, if I did not ac-
_. . knowledge .the many favors and kind attention extended to me by
all of the officers in charge of the Military trains in this: State.
After the war, we/created the office of Superintendent of Gov-ernment
Transportation, in consequence of the increase of the Gov-ernment
business, and the place was given to Mr. Wm. II. Harvey.
It proved to be a very laborious and responsible one, requiring a
/
19
| at deal of labor at. night and constant watchfulness at all .times.
id it gives us pleasure to be able to state tha,t Mr. Harvey filled it
h great energy, zeal and success, for which he is entitled to our
mest thanks. Without wishing to be invidious," we must inen-
. the conduct of another officer of the Company, which, we,
lik merits, and should receive your approbation. Wo allude to, Mr.
W. High, one of your Conductors. His train was sent by the
jiitary to Tarboro' to take a load of supplies, for the Government
in that place to Salisbury, and upon reaching Raleigh, just at. ,.
I
moment of its evacuation by Gen. Johnston, his Engineer aban-
|ed him. He at once took charge of the Locomotive and run
' train to Salisbury, and continued to act both, as Engineer and
'iductor of it, until its return .;to, Goldsboro'. We say this is a
5 of merit which should be rewarded,, for whatever the opinion
j be about the cause he was engaged in, he showed, as was his .
jy, a commendable spirit in saving the train at every hazard. It
jild be improper to omit to state, that we have been extremely
'lunate in the selection ,. of all of our officers and employees.
jey have' as a general rule manifested a strong personal interest in
( r Road. Messrs.Hancock and Thomas, Conductors,;. Metts, Road
per ; Powell, Best and Wadswortfi, Station Agents, W. C. Whit-l,
Book Keeper, and Rurnum and\Howelf, Section Masters, have
3 active and energetic in behalf of. vour interest. .,
1 have already mentioned the good care taken of your Loco- (
ives and Cars, under very disadvantageous, circumstances,, : bym

jince the opening of the Road, or from the first day the first train
upon it, which was on the 15th day of March, 1856, there'has been
a solitary collision and not a passenger, either white or black,
ed or seriously injured on any of our trains, up to the time of the
lender to the U. States Government. This may be attributable
5 straight Road, but there have been collisions on other Roads
^1 not more curves than ours, when taken throughout the line
i .1 Goldsboro' to Morehead City, though for three years we have
I: all kind of trains, sometimes as' many as twenty in twenty-four
|ts from Goldsboro' to Kinston, without the occurrence of an acci-
|b< involving either life or property. Moreover, for one year be-
| the war we operated the whole Road, and ran at an average
fjd of twenty-sevea miles an hour from Goldsboro' to Morehead
f
r with the passenger trains, and eighteen miles with the freight
1 as, without having to record an accident on the main line of
20
the Road, and without losing a mail connection, and all this was
done for a sum comparatively low, as you will see hy instituting a
comparison of the expenses of this with other Rail Roads in the
South. We have seen, too, our trains surrounded by hostile troops,
and under the very fire of battle aisd then had them brought off in
safety. We have further seen them run on other roads, conveying
thousands of beings and tons of freight in every direction with un-usual
success. I therefore repeat that we are under great obligations
to our officers and employees, some of whom have been in the service
of the road for many years, for their sleepless vigilance and constant
efforts to serve you faithfully and honestly.
A.nd now gentlemen, as my last official act as President and Di-rector
of your Company, it becomes my melancholy duty to inform
you that by a most distressing and unexpected accident we were de-prived
early in the year of the aid and services of one of our mem-bers,
whose loss we all deeply deplored. Year before last we had to
record the death of Geo. S. Stevenson, Esq., one of the first and
most energetic Directors of the Company. Last year another of our
Directors, the brave and generous Col. Peter G-. Evans, was taken
from us. And this year, still another is gone, Jno. H. Peebles, Esq.,
whose urbanity and gentlemanly bearing, systematic habits of busi-ness
and steady adherence to principle was well known to you, and
his loss caused a void in the Board of Directors that cannot be easily
filled. Thus, we see, passeth away man, even when in the enjoy-ment
of health. Does it not then call upon us all, the strong as
well as the weak, with the solemn warning " be ye also ready, for
ye know not the day or the hour when the Son of Man cometh."
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN D. WHITFORD,
President.

MASTER MACHINIST'S REPORT.
Goldsboro', May 31, 1865.
Jno. D. Whitford, Esq., President Atlantic & N. C. R. R. Co :
Sir :—I have the honor to report, as per your order, that about
the middle of March last, we carried up the North Carolina Railroad,
the following Locomotives and Cars, Tools and material, to prevent
their being taken or destroyed by the Northern army invading the
State at that time : Sis Locomotives and 57 Cars, consisting of 3
Coaches, 3 second class and 3 Baggage Cars, the balance were Flat
and Box Cars. One Locomotive, " Dr. Hawks," 1 Coach, 1 second
class car and 1 pony passenger car, were carried up the Western
North Carolina Railroad. Of this train, we lost by Stoneman's
troops, 1 baggage and 1 second class car. The Locomotive and the
other cars are still on that road as they could not be brought down
when in our possession, as the bridges on the road were burnt below
them. All the other passenger cars and Locomotives were brought
buck to this place, except one coach left at Raleigh, by order of the
Cbief Quartermaster, Col. Boyed. Most of the freight cars are now
up the North Carolina Railroad. There was one box car captured
at Smithfield, and 7 cars not in running order and some wheels and
axles left at Goldsboro', as we could not get them away.
The following is a list of Tools and material on hand :
One barrel Tallow, 1 do Varnish, half do Glue, half do Cement,
4 Vices, 1 Anvil, 1 Bellows, 1 set of Tinner's Tools, 1 box of
Wrenches, 15 feet Gum Hose, 60 lbs of Bolts, 1 box blacksmith
tools, 1 Brace and Drills, half barrel spirits of turpentine, half do
Linseed Oil, 200 lbs of Paint, 1 five horse stationary engine and
boiler, 15 kegs Nails, 50 lbs Putty, 100 lbs steel Tools, 50 gum
springs, 25 lbs iron washers, 1 cross cut saw, 8 sheets of iron, 500
lbs copper pipes, 3 wrest pins, 1 hand trunk, 7 pair brakes, 2 boxes
glass, 1 hand boreing machine, 3 sheets Russia iron, 1 set copper
steam pipes, 600 lbs brass castings, 19 axles, 46 wheels, 24 boxes, 8
pedestals, 3 bars spring steel, 5 barrels of Rosin oil, 4 chilled tires for
driving wheels, 6 tons old iron, 1 box carpenter's tools and 1 valve
