From the Knoxville Daily Register
 
November 30, 1862
  
East Tenn. & Virginia Railroad Company
   The regular annual meeting of the Directors and Stockholders of this Company was held at the Depot in this city on the 27th inst. It must have been very gratifying and encouraging to the friends of the road to learn from the report of John R. Banner, President that the earnings of the year ending October 30th, 1862, was double that of any previous year, that the present condition of the entire road is better and safer that if has been at any former period of its history and is unsurpassed by that of any other road in the South, this too at a time when labor and materials are procured with great difficulty and expense. This certainly reflects much credit upon the President and officers under him, and is a guarantee that the future interest of the company will not be neglected.
   The new board of Directors met and elected the following officers: John Banner, President, P. {L., not P.} C. Hoss, Superintendent, John Keyes, Treasurer.
   The President of the Company ought by all means, (and we have no doubt, he will,) publish his report, so that the public may see something of the operations of the road under his Presiding.
