AUGUSTA DISPATCH OFFICE, ) October 7, 1858. f COTTON.—Our market opened ou Friiay las 1 with a good demand, which continued up to Tuesday, at gradually stiirening prices, when buyers, finding that they could not get off their purchases, in consequence of the scarcity of shipping in Charleston and Savannah, in a meas ure withdrew from the market ou Wednesday, and holders, to effect sales, were compelled, on that day, to submit to a reduction of ),£©%':. ou all qualities, from prices previously current. Yesterday (Thursday) the same feeling prevail ed, and as the receipts were heavy, to effect sales factors had to make a still further conces sion of about >*e., at which decline some 621 bales changed hands, at prices ranging from ; 11 to 12)£ —making the total decline from tlic highest point reached during the week full %c. We think, however, the market has reached its : lowo-t point, under the favorable Europeau news recently received—that as soon as our merchants can find conveyance for their purchases from I Charleston or Savannah, that prices will rally. ] The receipts at til's point are largely ou the in- j J crease, and most of that coming to hand is or dered to be sold on arrival. We omit our regu lar quotations this week, but would remark that at the close of business yesterday (Thursday), the highest price that could be obtained for Mid dling Fair wa 12, and for Good Middling 11 %c. The market this (Friday) morning was quiet, and price', iflany thing, a little easier than they were yesterday. The sales reported to us sum up 7.0 bales—-18 at 11) 8 ;64 at 11)6 ; 276 at 11 ; and 432 at 12 cents, Receipts 2091 bales. RECEIPTS OF COTTON*. i New Orler ns, October 2 .110,CSG 64,342 Mobile.

Augusta is an | excellent Grocery market, and her merchants | business men. WHEAT.—The demand for this article is con j ' fined to Miller’s wants, and as they have a good ! supply on baud, they are i. fib-ring iower rates. , Good Red and White, are scarce and iu demand at our outside figures, but the bulk of both de scriptions now coming to hand is of inferior i quality.

Hon. S. E. Church. Comptroller, &c .—Dear Sir : Agreeably to your reque.-t, I have exam ined, I believe critically and lully, the affairs, condition amt assets of the Great Western Insurance and Trust Company. I lmveseen and inspected not only their Books, which are well kept, but the Assets under the heads of Cash on band, Bills Receivable, and Stock Notes, nd feel perpectly safe in reporting *o you that the four items or “Cash on hand and in the hands of Agents,” ‘Un settled Premiums,” ‘ • Bills Receivable,” and “Stock Notes,” amounting to $93,868 ar good and available to the Company for that amount, or nearly that amount. I have taken some pains ! 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 i The building belonging to the Company, on the torner of Walnut and Fourth streets, is a very fine free stone building, well built, and admirably ■ business purposes in Philadelphia. I have'ailed upon the gentlemen who built it and sold it to j the Company, who informe,l me that it cost him over $70,060 cash. I think this property would ; be a good investment at $75,000. The Real Estate Mortgages contained in the statement of the Company, are all rood for the amount stated, ami cover property worth at least fifty per cent, more than the amount for which they are mortgaged. From this statement, it will he seen that this Company should receive your Certificate. 1 de sire to add that the • ompany seems to be intelligently and prudently managed, and I find that it enjoys the full confidence of the business men of Philadelphia.
