MONDAY MORNING FEBRUARY 11 ALLEGHENY VALLEY RAILROAD. PRESIDENT'S REPORT• To the SiockholdcrN of (I Alleyhenylig, Rail road Company: GENTLEMEN—In presenting to the Stockhold ers the third Annual Iteport upon the affairs of the Company, the President and Managers have the pleasure of announcing to their constituents that the first division of the work, extending from the city of Pittsburgh to the Borough of Kittanning, a distance of forty-four miles, has been opened, and is now in sucessful operation. Passenger cars were placed upon that portion of this division, lying between Lawrenceville and Kiskiminitas river, :34/ miles, on the 23d of Oc tobei,lK&Li. Freight and passenger cars were run to Crooked Creek, Armstrong county. ten miles further, on the 11th of December, and to Kittan ning on the 23<day of January, 1851 i. During the month of December and January, a mixed train for freight and passengers has been regu larly and uninterruptedly in operation. The rolling stock and motive power are sufficient to move our present tonnage, but from its rapidly increasing amounts since reaching Kittanning, a large increase of furniture will be required for its accommodation. The gross earnings for the month of December was $2,000,0. The gross earnings fur the month of January were $4.205,- . 12. From the opening of the road uutil the ith December, the trains were compelled to stop at the Lawrenceville Station ; since that time the road has been extended to the extreme eastern boundary line of the city. The inability of the Company, from causes hereafter referred to. to reach the business por tion of the city, has largely and injuriously in fluenced its earnings. With due consideration of the circumstance= surrounding its beginnings, and the disadvanta ges to which its travel amid trade have been sub jected by reason thereof, during the first two months of its operations, its earnings, so far, indicate pretty clearly the value of this thor oughfare to our citkens, and furnish some data upon which to base caleuuttions of its importance when fully completed. IWithout the necessary information connected with the business opera tions of other roads. similarly situated and par tially epened, it is confidently believed that few have exhibited more gratifying results. The first divison embraces that portion of the work lying between Pittsburgh and Kittanning. To its completion the efforts of the managers have been directed. North of Kittanning, nn expense has been incurred, except that connect ed with surveys, !ovations and rights of way. 1 t was the early settled policy of the Board to finish each division of the line and bring it into useful ness, before any part of the funds of the Company should be expended upon other portions of the work, that might remain for some time uncon nected and unprofitable. The propriety of this conduct, although it may have subjected thetn to some misrepresentation and unkind remark, can not be doubted. Unless ordered by the stock holders to act differently, the same policy will he adhered to in future. In the construction of the first division, the subscriptions of the city of Pittsburgh and county of Allegheny, and a large amount of those made by individuals, have been used. Upon the line lying in their immediate vicinity it was just to them to expend the funds provided by their enterprise and liberality. The second division extends from Kittanning to Brookville, a distance of forty-four miles. The estimated cost fur the completion of this di vision, made out from actual measurements and reliable data, will be it fraction under 000,00. To construct this work tie Company posses , the following resources, to wit: L;. A nee hop y C..ont y Bond, AI snsU - ong d• • Jefferson Jo. . ~,,, .

I7S ht 4) /t is the opinion of the Board, that this ,111(1 ought to be made up by private and other Rub scriptious, before active operations are coin- menced. In the foregoing estimates, the Board have placed the securities at lower prices than they would feel warranted in disposing of them, AV Out the express direction of the stockholders. To throw these securities upon the market at present, in the now disturbed condition of the moneyed affair , of the world, would involi e a great sacrifice from their true value. The cor poration bonds in the liossessiuti of the company are issued by countie ,, and borough., with o ut debt, with abundant resource , , and inhabited by an honest yeomanry, who would never cons e nt to a repudiation of tl.. ' fairly its,unte•l obliga tions. The intrinsic value of the eeurities equal to any of a similar kind in the United States . Sanctioned as well by law its by popular they possess the strongest elMois to public e.,nil deuce. From the tact that the bowls of the,. counties and towns have not been on the market, they are less .alrable than those that have had more largely to do with the financial public in that way. The mortgage bonds of the company 1 yielding 7 per cent. interest, and based ou an expenditure so largely exceeding the amount of the issue, offer an investment as perfectly safe and reliable as any in the country. if the neom , sary additional subscriptions to complete the work to Brookville cannot he secured, the mort gage bonds already issued ought to be used, to build that portion of the second division, lying between Kittanning and the mouth of Mahoning, a distance of ten miles. In a former report the Board endeavored to show that this extension would add largely to the value of the work, and contribute much more to the earnings of the Company than its propor tion of cost. The same motive power and em ployees would do the business upon the 64 miles that would be or are required to do it upon 44 miles. This part of the line is nearly level, with out expensive cuttings or costly bridges. The place of departure from the Allegheny river is here reached, and however desirable it may be to progress farther with the work, it is manifest that at this important station a vast trade eon be concentrated. The agricultural and manufactur ing diStriets of Clarion and Jefferson counties, will be largely accommodated. The trade of th e upper Allegheny can be here secured to our work withouttlanger of competition. Tu construct ths part of the line, ought to be an object of solic i - tude to the stockholders. To provide the neces sary rolling stook, and to complete this small extension of the road, were the inducements that influenced the Board to create the mortgage lien of $400,000. The presentbusiness of our road, although in its very infancy, indicates that what ever the result, the interests and principal of these bonds are abundantly secure. We. invite the attention of capitalists to them. To secure complete success to our enterprise, the Board deem it of first importance that the work should be extended to the business por tions of the city, RS well as to Maltoning. To BM fatter-object no difficulty exists. 'However unpleasant it may be; the.

The controlling importance of bringing the trade and travel seek ing an avenue to and from the city into closer proximity with the business portions than that furnished by a stoppage at its extreme eastern. boundary hue, must be so apparent as to require no argument to sustain the simple statement of the fact. From the inception of the enterprise to the present moment, the work has been deem ed peculiarly adapted for the benefit and exten sion of the commerce and industry of this. city. In this spirit it was undertaken, and in the same faith a large subscription to its stock was made, as well by the city, as by the county authorities. In its management, or the purposes of its erec tion, so far as the Board can control it, no change of its character has taken place. To constitute any locality a commercial cen tre, it is eseutial that outlets as well as inlets shoulil he afforded to trade. To -secure to our locality 'Western produce, we must furnish Eastern outlets. To command Eastern commerce we must present to a discerning public channels for its progress and transmission. To make our citi zens the carriers of a valnable, constantly in creasing and incalculable tonnage t h at will hero seek an Eastern or Western market, we must re tuove all unnecessary exactions and restrictions upon its transit through our borders, and furnish it all the facilities that are elsewhere offered. If we bring to our city, by these fair induce ments, travel and trade, we have juet cause to anticipate, from the history of other nations and cities, that the product+ of our, own industry will, at an early date, contribute a largo portion of the tonnage that will lots, in every direction.

The interest on mortgage bonds already negotiated has been paid up to andinclo ding that falling due on let January, IKati. After the road is finished to the mouth of Ma honing, and extended into the city, its further progress presents an interesting q uestion. The Board desire to submit their views, and in doing, so shall endeavor to deal fairly with the hopes and doubts that necessarily surround such exten sive enterprises. To the present rapidly augmenting business of the work, will be added the trade and travel of the extensive and fruitful valleys of the Upper Allegheny and its tributaries, so soon as the proper arrangements are made for their accom modation. The mineral and agricultural wealth of Clarion, the large and valuable forests of Jef ferson, Elk and Indiana comities will seek, to a large extent, this avenue to a market as soon as its certainty, safety and cheapness are exhibited. Along the valley of the Allegheny is to be found a country so beautifully situated, well watered and highly fertile, that the hand of improvement and enterprise will soon seek it as an A biding plaee and horne. That. the net revenuepay the interest of its oust, at a very eary period, will not be doubted by those conversant with the rapid increase in business and population that has marked the region it traverses within the last . ten years.

Johnston, Preetrlent of the All yhen Talley Rallruad ~In; --The recent successful opening, of the lirt division of your road, between Pittsburgh and Kittanning, (11 miles,) whilst it constitute , an important epoch in the history of this im provement, will, I trust, prove likewise it ino-t powerful incentive to its immediate extension. Circumstances during the past year, prevented the Board from ordering the commencement work north-eastward from Kittanning, and va rious causes have contributed to delay its com pletion to that point. Even now it has only a temporary terminus at the eastern boundary or the city of Pittsburgh; the right to construct it to its final destination in the city not having yet been granted by the proper authorities. Never .theless, this division of the line is now in regular operation, trains having been run to Kittanning. January _:ld, liCi6; the formal openin h g, un 29 diU. pleasant auspices, having taken place ort te th „1 the same month. It is doing a handsom business in its commencement ; furnishing e de sirable and convenient accommodations for freight and traveling to the people of the Valley, and thus early giving earnest of great future useful ness to the city and country. RELATINO TO TOO FIRST DIVISION, PORTT-FOrR MILES IN LENOTII—PITTIABIIIOII TO KITTAIiNINO. It has been finished with the track laid mostly on the sub-grade, from Taylor street at the east ern boundary of the city of Pittsburgh to wal nut street in the borough of Kittanning. A por tion of it, between Lawrenceville and Kislhimini. tis river, was opened for use on the her, extendedbi Crooked Creek on th 2Bd e Ei l t lth Oct 0 11, 1856. December last, and to Kittanning on the 231 of From übuy, w Te, westward January. The report of your efficient Superintendent, Mr. Hopper, shows that the receipts from local business during the month of January, including one week's running to Kittanning, amount to $4205,12. This will compare very favorably with the first business done on one of our prin cipal western extensions—the Ohio and Penn slyivania railroad, on which the receipts have reached the sum of a million of dollars yearly.

These curt eys Lave been conducted partly by . the Allegheny Valley Company, and partly by the Sunbury titel Erie Company, the latter under the direction of ltobert Fairies, Esq., Chief En gineer, to whom 1 ant tinder übligatiOnB for vain- Lade information. lu my annual report of last year a minute seription is given of our improved location be tween Kittanning and Brookville. is developed by Franklin Wright., Esq., principal Assistant Engineer, firing the um rimultl gradient ascend ing northward anti entiteinril at -1-10 feet pe mile, 9.11 , 1 Mention is male of a careful recoil noisanee by your Engineer, Mr. Eichbaum, bee tween Brunkrille and Bennett:B branch of the Susquehanna, from which an opinion was then expressed that a feasible and direct railroad route existed between the Allegheny mid Sus quehanna waters, passing up Study Lick and down Bennett's branch, with no grade exceeding 2t; -1-10 feet per mile , ' beim , the same as the max lumen ascending grade fixed between Pittsbitrgh and Brookville. The recent additional surveys of Mr. Fairies have finally settled this opinion as a confirmed fact. Placing a common junction point between the Allegheny Valley and the Sunbury and Erie roads on the summit or that dividing ground, 22 miles north-eastward from Brookville, the Sun bury and Erie road attains said junction point with the following extraordinary maximum gra clients, namely, commencing at Sunbury: Vl, AT FIVE DOLLARS NUMBER 109. •twurd 65 miloa, rum, 10 ft. per nt,l Thence to Summit 212 Whilst on the Allegheny Valley side of the same favorable summit, the average ascending gradi ent from Brookville, 22 miles, is Tench less than 26 feet per mile, and the maximum need not ex ceed 26 4-10 feet per mile; and oven with these light gradients, presenting but one summit be tween Pittsburgh and Sunbury. Here, then, we have 266 continuous miles be tween Pittsburgh and Sunbury, overcoming the table laud summit of the Allegheny mountains, with a maximum gradient of only 24 4-10 feet per mile. And on 05 miles of the Susquehanna side, and 10 miles of the Allegheny side, making 1;i;-, miles. the maximum is loss than 11 feet per mile ; and only -14 wiles of the whole distance contain maximum grades as high as 26 4-10 feet per mile. No line of railroad between the waters of the east and west, from the northern boundary of New York to the southern boundary of Virginia, presents a profile at all comparable with it. It is proposed, in this connection, to show that by no other railroad route between the waters of the Ohio And tho Atlantic, can freighting be carried on more cheaply, and to prove; that in this economic aspect, Luis combination of the Allegheny Valley and Sunbury & Erie routes, is almost a commercial necessity, and that the sooner it is finished the better for the general interests of Pennsylvania, as well as the particu lar interests of Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, and the eastern cities generally. This could ne established by taking the usual engineering formulas, showing the different loads that isigines of given power can haul over different grade:; but aware that calculations of this character are often merely glanced at, with out making a very definite, practical impression, adopt the simple plan of referring to the daily working of several well known roads of different characteristics. Nearly' all of this information was furnished to me by the Superintendents of -respective roads two years ago. For coy venient reference, the substance of - the cotivinunii cstiuns received, is thrown int.) tabular loran. Thin table is not uttered ILS an empirical guide • but merely as a practical, working approxinin which nifty Le safely used for general corn poison. It may be further stated in reference to these roads, in general terms, that the Blossburg railroad abounds iu curves, some of them having only Silt feet length of radii. The Buffalo, Corning and New York railroad has much less curvature, and most of the curves have large relit The Philadelphia and Columbia railroad has a considerable proportion of curved line, lind, frequent grades of 30 feet, with a maximum at the gap summit of 45 feet, and it maximum running out from Philadelphia of 50 feet for a few miles. The Pennsylvania rallrotul east of Altoona, on 130 miles, has a maximum grade of 21 feet per mile, with a minimum radius of cur vature of 1,433 feet; from Altoona to Allegheny Mountain summit, 12 miles, the maximum grade i t , 95 beet per mile, on straight lines, minim= radius, say 716 feet. Between summit of moun tain and Pittsburgh, 105 miles, the maximum gradient, both ways, is 52 8-10 feet per .mile, minimum radius of curvature 955 feet. The Reading railroad, from the coal mines to near Philadelphia, is either descending or level, with considerable curvature, some of only 600 feet radius, but generally of an easy character. Tho bulk of the freight being coal, descending to tide water, the characteristics of this road are pecu liarly favorable for the kind of business done upon it. The Cleveland, Columbus and Cincin nati road is very straight, the prevailing maxi mum gradients being under 18 feet per mile, with 49 feet per wile on a few miles near Cleve land, and 30 feet per mile near Columbus,._ou a short distance. The liellefuntaine and Indiana road is also very straight, with maximum gra dients each way of 39 6-10 feet per mile—the longest being above 3 miles. The Little Miami road has a larger proportion of curvatures than the last two named. At the timl the data given in the table were obtained, there 'vas but cite grade of 15 feet per mile, since reduced to 33 feet, leating the preamit maximum ou this road 40 feet. The Cleveland and Pittsburgh road has a groat deal of curvature on the Southein end, where the maximum gradient of 50 feet per mile oecues, between Wellsville and the summit ; from the stumnit to Cleveland it is generally straight, with grades ranging from 10 feet to .10 feet per mil o. The Allegheny 'Valley and Sunbury and Erie lines, takcu together tts ono homogeneous route, pre-rut a maximum gradient of 26 4-10 feet per lde, with a minimum radius of curvature of feet, except, in a singly instance (not It ttr:ltir I where It radius of 716 feet may lie u.c.,1; but on most of the route the grades are itieler I I ro , i per mile and the curvature quite moderate. inspection of the tabular statement here ttith prv,ellt.ol, will show at. a eltince the great ilithlUllre gradot in limiting the number of gars amt wei;:ht of load per train.

Be tween PittsbUrgh and the summit, on 52 0-10 feet grades. ordinary duty 2.09 not tons, with 30 ton en gines. All include ears and Maul. With such databefore us, it can scarcely he tonne!: assumption to predicate ealcuMtious on the Alleghe ny Valley and Sunbury and Erie route, withits max imum gradient of only 264-10 feet per mile. 1 take it for granted that freight engines weighing 24 tons will carry as an ordinary load 94 loaded double ears, snob car weighing 16,000 pounds, with an avor• age load to each ear of 10,000 pounds, making the entire weight 384 not tons, from Pittsburgh to the summit, of the mountain ; and also front Sunbury to the summit of the mountain. The stuns engine will take from the summit to Pittsburgh, (and from tlic summit to Sunbury) 31 loaded double cars, Or 491 net tons in all. Thus, an engine of 24 tons weight could start front Pittsburgh, or Sunbury, or Harrisburg, anti go di rectly through, with its 24 long ears ; and, when re quired, with an addition of one-third to the number, after attaining the summit from either end of tin mute. One class of engines could be worked to good ad vantage over the whole line; and, with the same amount of power, and an equal expenditure on re pairs per mile, within any given period, merchandise, coal, A c., can be transported at about one-fourth lesS cost permit° than by the present route in use between Pittsburgh and Harrisburg. The actual distance between Pittsburgh and Harrisburg, on the Pennsyl vania Railroad, is 247 miles; and by the Allegheny Valley and Sunbury and Erie route, 320 miles; the Pennsylvania line being 22 8-10 per cent shorter. It is, therefore, clear, that if it costs 22 3-10 per cent loss, per mile, to transport on the longer route, they would stand on an equality in point of cost, u.s freighting routes. From the data obtained front these various roads as presented in tabular form, it would appear that there will be ft saving, per mile, at least to the extent of 25 per cent,. between Pittsburgh awn Harrisburg. Then with the Lebanon Valley Rail road completed between Harrisburg and Reading, we shall have the cheapest freighting route between the waters of the Ohio and the Delaware; a route entirely independent or the vexations delays at pres ent frequently encountered in transporting, via. the State Railroad between Philadelphia and-Columbia; and thus present to the people of the West another • strong inducement to direct their business through Pittsburgh. •,, But this is by no means the strongest point . in the z . .C 4 . . .

There is another point to bar considered in connec tion with the North Western Railroad. Through its western connections (if the proper facilities ,are fur nished eastward) it will readily control a heavy share of cattle and live stock transportation ' generally. This has become an immense business on both'. the New York roruls; and much complaint has recently been made by extensive cattle dealers, of the inade quacy of the accommodations for this large' and growing trade. Now, with the Allegheny Valley, soulairy and Erie, Cattawisim, Lehigh Valley and New Jersey Central lines, all on the same 4 feet Si, inch gauge, we shall prii.ient a most attraetivp nod economical route for this class of freight—stri king the Allegheny Valley road at Freeport and loai ing it at Winslow—using 102 miles of the :Alle gheny Valley line. This will apply to•all snub trade its may strike Clerebtrul, or any point o n.the line of the North Western Railroad between Cleveland amt Freeport. The distance from Cleveland to Freeport is 139 miles. Freeport via A. V. It. IL to New York 420 miles. Cleveland to New York Whereas, by way of the Lake Shore and-N. York and Brio roads, with atleast ono break of gauge. the distance is. - 60.2 miles; being 22 miles farther; whilst the grades on a large portion of the Allegheny Valley and Sunbury and Brie route are far superior. The trade of southern Ohio and all along thettatne parallel westward and south of said parallel, seeking New York, will naturally strike l'itishurgh—eithor via the Ohio Central. the Pittsburgh and Steuben ville, the Cleveland and Pittsburgh, the Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroad, or the Ohio river—and pass over 1:12 miles of the Allegheny Valley Railroad, be tween Pittsburgh and Winslow.

RA I LROA D g ANI) lIIVERS. The railroad system of the west has been in opera tion through such a brief period, that the term cr -11. ricoe.., which would, seem to imply an emanation from long usage, is scarcely applicable. , But I would advert to one phase of this experience, such as it is, in its hearing upon the transportation ors the western rivers. liar the opening of railroads in 1 Mio, Indiana Illinoi, and it might. be added in Kentucky, had toy effect upon the extent of com merce upon the rivers--particularly the Mississippi and its great tributary, the Ohio? Yes; they have stiintilated besinesa generally; and whenever the riv e, are in good navigably conaition, the freighting I Poll them is touch greater than it tons 1 , 441 , [0. A ,art 111 this of emirs, is due to the natural increase of r iopolation ; hot that increaae has loam greatly act:el :rated by the facilities teltiell illy MAW:N.I4 have Ltr ortloLl to sottlers. In the sioglo State of Illinois, within the last fire years, which may be considered the railroad period, the int:relive has; keen about half a million of Mb:Milano, or doalide the rate of ally previous five years. - besides, this augmented and constantly augment ing population stands higher than formerly in the cede of civilization, requiring tut necessaries, many things before regarded only as luxuries. _ The great western field for agrieultural and mine ral enterprise, vast as it, is, is fast filling up. Stales are now the work of a very few years; -and within a short period, even whilst we are yet engaged in the o onstruetion of toxin trunk lines in that obi States, many millions more of the weetern people must be came tributary, or rather become the activengentain adding to the internal, and indirectly to theaxternal commence of our country. It woad scorn most like ly, then, that. the river business willeentitate to grow side by side with the general growth of the land; and that rivers and Is:Annuls are no more antagonistic than lee tires tool horses. They may ho, and they are made to work for each other, and not against eaull other. The magnitude of the commerce on the Ohio river --one of our . wester; avenues, is not readily appre ciated by those who have never visited the West cits growth has been so rapid, somnpreeedented, that to those who have passed the meridian of life :Without losing tiilit of tido-water it scents almost.febulous. But a few years since, the preponderance Of all com merce was so largely on the tide-water side nil the Alleghenies, and the entire floating connuerce beyond that one's forinlittlile range, so trilling, that. not a thought of instituting comparisons -arose in the minds even of western men. But what a change have those few years wrought! -When such facts as the following are -to be practically. considered., name ly, that second only to the city of New York, in the amount of enrolled and licensed'stAcaushaat teenage, is the city of Pittsburgh—Now York being: , 101,602 tuns, and Pittsburgh al,S96 . lens. New.Orlearts is the 3d, and St.. Loeb'• the 4th city in this respeeL The city of Pittsburgh alone, exceeding by more than 30,000 tons, the .united enrolled and licensed steamboat tonnage of Batton, Philadelphiaand Be timer°. The enrolled steamboat tonnage on, theOttle river is 1..14.473 tons. and on the residue of thellals sissippi Valley, 120,050 tonal. tegether, 271,523.t0n5, trhich is „greater Ilion that of the entire Atlantic coast. There cannot, I think, be a question, that the Wants of the connneree carried en by these vessels, 'andtthe hundred vessels even now annually added, tfletuand a radical improvement of the river, navigation. _ . ,F,or about eight Con years I hiivo been an humble earnests of its perManentimpaoremcnt lay.menes.efilectra-and dams ails - filar to those on the Monongahela naviga tion ; and though various other schemes hare from ' tints to time been presented to gut public Considera tion, I have only been more firmly assured in my first • conviction of the superiority of looks and dams. It seems to be now generally conceded that . the river must be improved. That the interests connect ed with transportation on its -miters, espeendlythe aoicultural interests, are so vast and so interwoven with the general business and prosperity of a large Part of the Union, that some decisive improvement has become a necessity. In view of such a insvigatiate tui it may bo made to afford, there is no probability that we shall have too many Mail) IlliltOna avenues between the river and the seaward. In other words, there will be ample employment for all those now built and partly built. The same sort of arguments.' that stead now tend to arrest the progr,eas of the unfinished. liner, would, if s uccessfully enforecd, have prevented the tioastruc lion 'of the firer artificial ceiruntinlmstion between the east and this west; would denounce all ell - arts to im prove the river navigation; would, in fnet, stop all progress. And the same, or even stronger. reasons, ethic!' induced the construction of the- first railroad through Pennsylvania, are yet in fullforen.ana .ap plicable to the speedy,...completion of another line.
