Both machines were in ex cellent order, and worked to the satis faction of their members and numerous spectators. After throwing a beautiful stream through five or six lengths of hose, an additional hose was attached, and two fine streams of water, one reaching over the roof of the Augusta Hotel on one side, and the other throw ing over the roof of Dr. Tutt’s store on the other side of the street, were played by both engines. They were fully manned, the Mechanic assisting the Georgia, and vice versa. This is the feeling we like te see displayed iu our Fire Department. u- ■ Sale of Stocks.

The Savannah Republican says:—We copied from the Griftin Union, some days ago, a statement to the effect that the large property of Mr. Dempsey,who recently died in Macon, was bequeathed to the Catholic Church, except $5,000, which he willed to be divided equally between his two children. This is an error. We learn, from authority, that such was the purport of a will excuted some time since, but the testator, just previous to his death, made auother,be queathing all his property to his wife and two children, each to receive a third. The Macon Telegraph says :—“ Mr. Dempsey's estate, we have been inform ed, is valued somewhere at about $250,- 000, and all goes to his children—not a cent to the Catholic Church, as we have been informed and beleive.” Tile Revival In Atlanta. The American of the 4th inst., says : “ Yesterday the pulpits in this city were filled, and the Word was preached to large congregations. The editors of this paper attended different churches and witnessed the progress of this wonder ful revival. It is just now in full blast, and promises the achievement of incal culable good. May it goon ‘conquer ing and to conquer,’ until the religious tone of this city is far, far above any thing that ever existed here.” Dr. Darker. We see by the Macon papeis that this gentleman is delivering his popular course of lectures on Phrenology, in that city, to crowded audiences. Vcw Klee.

Ham mond & Son have been retained as Counsel for C6bb.— Mania American, 4th instant, Kings Around the Earth—Curious As tronomical Np< eolations. 1 In England the scientific/ men have recently been advancing |ome rather singular astronomical speculations. On the 12th of last month, Prof. Nicol, LI,.D delivered the third Os a series of ;1 lectures on Astronomy, as Manchester, i, The subject treated had reference chief ly to the rings of Saturn, and other ■ analogous phenomena. In the intro ductory lecture the Profissor made an . observation respecting there being a ring or probably severnl rings around l the earth. To this observation he re ferred in his last lecture, and said “what had been called the zodaical t light was only visible lie re in the form , ot a cone, but an Ainetican astronomer, who had gone to Japan and other favo rable points, to iuvertigate the subject, found that the cone opened on and ex ’ tended across the heavens from horizon to horizon, and that he had by observa r tions during the night, traced about 5 three-fourths of the circle. This ob server found that we had been looking r at the rings as we might do at ahoop head edgewise, thus making iHfesume a conical form. learseil Professor r now proceeded to that the theory 1 previously held that the zodaical light . proceeded from a nebulous ring around (fie sun, was thought to be premature, and that the appearance came from a great nebulous ring surrounding the I earth. He explained, by means of a diagram, that we should see the rays from this ring reflected more strongly from our hdrizon than at its points high er up in the heavens. No ring around 1 the sun could explain this appearance ; i one around the earth could entirely.— i They were forced also to the conclusion that it waR not one ring only but per haps several. Its distance was about 100,000 miles; its breadth 25,000; its deptli was not known; the mass of matter in it must he enormous, and no 1 doubt was fulfilling some important functions in regard to the earth and the solar system. The composition of Sa r turn's rings was then discussed, and an . account given of the changes which had been noticed in them by various observ ers. ’ From the dynamical conclusion of l Laplace, combined with the changes as r serted, the lecturer drew the inference that the rings have no coherence ; that 1 they are neither vapor nor fluid, and i gave as a theory of their constitution , that they are composed of millions of asteriods circulating around the planet; the bright parts being where they are ; most thickly strewed, and the dark ; lines, the absence of them. There was , a faint slaty colored ring within the other, and this appeared to be gradually > approaching the planet. It had ap i preached at the rate of 60 miles a year ; , lately at about 80 miles a year; it would reach the planet itself in 180 years. A man who has been chased by an Indian, makes the following matter of 5 fact observation: ‘ "Much has been said by poets and romantic young ladies about the pic turesque aspects and the noble form of an untamed, untamable warrior of the ; prairie, and far be it from me to gainsay , them. An Indian is a noble spectacle in a picture, or at a 6afe distance —but ‘ when this ‘noble spectacle is moving > his moccasins in your direction, and [ you have to do some tall walking in or der to keep capillary substance on the ' summit of your cranium, all his ‘no r bility’ vanishes, and you see in him , only a painted, greasy miscreant, who will, if you give him a chance, lift your 1 hair with the same Christian spirit, 1 composed and most serene, with which t he would ask another ‘spectacle’ for a little more of that ‘baked dog.’ I used to think like the poets ; now the i sight of an Indian gives me a cramp in . the stomach.” The Hog Trade.—TbeLousville Jour ml of last Thursday, says : The hog trade has, within the last few days, been unfavorably affected by - the dullness in the provision market.--- , We understand that orders for the pur chase of hogs at 4 cents gross, have : been countermanded. The Cincinnati Gazette, of Wednesday, says : The movements in hogs for future delivery indicate a decline within the . week. There were sellers yesterday for November at $5 62 1 2 per 100 lbs. net, - with few buyers at $5 50. The pros ) pects with reference to the corn crop, s and the downward tendency of the pro ' vision market, combine to depress the ' views of hog buyers. About 2,000 head of hogs were sold at Cincinnati during the past week, at ’ $5 50 net. to bo delivered the last two weeks of November and the first two of - December.

E. Church, Comptroller, kc.—Dear Sir : Agreeably to your request. I have exam \ ined, I'believc critically and fully, the affairs, condition and assets of the Great Western Insurance I and Trust Company. I have seen and inspected not only their Books, which are well kept, but . the Assets under the heads of Cash on hand, Bills Receivable, and Stock Notes, and feel perpectly ; safe in reporting ‘o you that the four items of “ Cash on hand and in the hands of Agents ’’ -*Un j settled Premiums,” Bills Receivable,” and “Stock Notes," amounting to $93.Sf-8. ar good. , and available to the Company for that amount, or nearly that amount. I have taken some paius to ascertain the value of Stocks held by the Company, having visited the several Companies and i conversed fully and freely with their respective officers. The building belonging to the Company, od the corner of Walnut and Fourth streets, is a very : fine Dree-stone building, well built, and admirably arranged ; its location is one of tlie best for business purposes in Philadelphia. I have called upon the gentlemen who built it and sold it to the Company, who informed me that it cost hnn over s7o,of'o cash. I think this property would be a good investment at $75,000. The Real Estate Mortgages contained in the statement of ihc Company, are all rood for the [ amount stated, aud cover property worth at least fifty per cent, more than the amount for which they are mortgaged. From this statement, it will be seen that this Company should receive your Certificate. 1 de ■ sire io add that the Company seems to be intelligently and prudently man*i ed. and I find that it i enjoys the full confidence of the business men of Philadelphia.
