LOCAL MATTERS.

To take a walk along Broad street for ,
the pa t week, reminds one of the good
old times, when we enjoyed the wagon
trade. The weather has been fine, but
the streets are dusty—this does not
keep the Ladies at home. They have
been out in numbers,* and keep the 1
side walks clean with their wide spread
•crinolines. We have no public amuse- ■
ments in town—nor do we need any at
• present. Our merchants, in their dis
. ferent lines, arc kept busy in playing
tbeir'trwn pianos, as ttosj-aisjs..
good tune, they discourse sweet music
to that tenderest of nerves—the pock

good, and turn your eyes in what di
rection you may, you will see a quick
step, and a happy countenance. So ,
mote it be.
Take it all in ail, Augusta is a bully
town in the way of business. She has
the capital and her merchants know
how to use it to advantage. Business
is transacted in this city with more sys ,
tem and less difficulty, than any city
we know of. There is no waiting for
payments here after a sale is made. —
The planter or the merchant can arrive
in the morning with his one,one hundred
or one thousand bales of cotton, oroth
_ er produce, and if he feels disposed to
sell, he can readily find buyers at going
matket rates, and as soon as the trade
is made and the hill made out, he can'
pocket his money, attend to any othefr
business he may have, and leave f/or •
home in the afternoon or at night, /it

is wanted of the prosperity of our city,
and merchants, we would call the at

Persona 1 .
Jla making up a hasty review of the |
Cotton Market, on Thursday, an error;
occurred which any merchant could
have e isily detected. We quoted Mid
dling Fair at 12 cents, and Good Mid- j
dlrng at 1? 1-8 instead of 11 78. Our !
Cotton report is the last thing set for j
the paper -we never have a chance of
reading it over until in print, and in ;
the hurry sometimes errors may be
made. We will endeavor to prevent
the occurrence of such errors in future, j
Fine Tobacco.
Our friend Voccur ha-s just received
afresh supply of Stcwz’s (Henry coun

pancake. It is a choice article, and no
mistake, and friend V. will receive our
thanks for the remembrance. Bye the

himself, we mean his store, and ft now

Change in the Weather.— Thursday
was an excessively hot day—decidedly
the warmest we have bad since the yel
low fever made its appearance—but
there was a marked change duriDg the
night, and yesterday morning was al
most uncomfortably cool. The day was
delightfully pleasant, and it is clear

A Bachelor Wobtuilv Employed.—
We perceive that Peterson Thweatt,
Esq . the present Comptroller is en
gaged upon a new plan for educating
the children of our State. This is all
right and we have no doubt something
valuable will come of his labors. Our
friend Peterson has always evinced an
incorrigible aversion to having children
of his own to care for, and it is but
right and patriotic that he should apply
himself to the philanthropic task of
looking after the welfare of other peo
ple’s. The mothers of the State should
vote him a blessing, in spite of his
shortcomings towards the daughters !

Flntfobteil Courtship.
One long /summer afternoon there
came to Mr. ■ Davidson’s the most curi
ous specimen of art old bachelor the j
world ever heard of. He was old, gray, 1
wrinkled and ugly. He hated wo- 1
men. especially old maids, and wasn't
afraid to say so. He and Aunt Patty had
it hot and heavy, whenever chance
threw them together; yet still he
came, and it was noticed that Anut
Patty took unusual pains with her dress
whenever he was expected. One day
the contest waged unusually strong.— -
Aunt Patty left him in disgust, and
wont out inte the garden. “ The
hear!" she muttered to herself, as she (
3topped to gather a blossom which at
tracted iter attention.
“ What did you run away for?” -said
a gruff voice close to her side.
“To get rid of you.”
“ You didn’t do it, did you ?” |;
“ Ho ’ you are worse than a burdock 1 '
bur," |
“ You won't get rid of me, neither.”
“ I won’t, eh ?”
“Only in one way.”
“ And'that!”
“Marry me!” !|
“ What, us two fools git married .’ - ;
What will people say?”
“ That's nothing to us. Come, say J
ves or no ; I’m in a hurry.”
“Weil, no, then.” h
“ Very well, good bye; I shan't come (
again.” , > j
“But stop a bit—what a packer to he !,
jut!”
j “ Yes or no?"
i " 1 must consult —"
j “All right; 1 thought you was old
age Good-bye.”

me. I thought I’d give you the first j

There is a monstrosity on exhibition
1 in the city which “ takes down almost

um. It is a child, born in Canada, and
the fortunate possessor of four legs,

i [At least these facts are announced in
[ huge placards on the walls and fence
[of the city. The child, notwithstand
ing its deformity, is said to be very

j There is also in the city a prodigy of
wonder, in the person of a young girl
- who gives public rea ings. She is a
! ; mere infant, in point of age, but her in
jtellect is far in advance of her years.—
s j She rejoices in the soubriquet of “Little
- Ella.” Her “readings” are numerous
, Ily attended, and the expressions of ad
; miration at her precocity arc uubcmn
-1 jded ; it is a pity, however, to force her
•' intellectual powers while so young, for

nure, in the order of nature, *he will

tIK Cotton Crop.
Notwithstanding our farmers are
| making an abundance of everything
j usually grown upon the farm, yet crops,
and particularly that of cotton, will
I not yield as much by a good deal as '
| was thought it would some two months
I ago. We feel no hesitancy in saving !
that we believe the rust lias cut off the j
cotton crop in this county at least one
third from ffrncr anticipations. Some:
crops have passed apparently uninjured
—whilst others have been stripped of j
all its late fruit, and the stalk, in many
instances, killed to the ground, and on !
all these spots that have been visited
by the rust of course the crop is done.

A Beaitiitt, Incident.—While the
poor match man was passing down
Union street, creeping on his knees, ac
companied by his daughter, five or six
years old, an incident occurred which
is worthy of notice. Among the group
who had collected around them was a
generous-hearted sailor, who bought a
store of matches, large enough for a
four years’ cruise. “Jack” handed
bitn a two dollar hill, and on being of
feted the change, replied : “In God’s I
name take it all—you need it more!
than Ido ; I can’t take change from all
suffering object like you.” It was a *
gush of human love and sympathy that
it is very pleasant to see in this wicked !
world, which. af f er all its selfishness;
and wrong doing, has some lovely feu- !•
tures about it. Blessings on the warm- j.
hearted sailor I —New Bedford Matunj.

d REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
Hon. S. E. CHURra, Comptroller, Ac. —Dear Sir: Agreeably to yo.ir request, 1 have exam
ined, I believe critically and lully. the affairs, condition and assets of the Great Western Insurance
nd 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 lour items of *• Cash on hand and in the hands of Agents,’ 7 *‘Un
n settled Premiums.” ‘-Bills Receivable, 7 ’ and “Stock Notes,” amounting to $93,8 e <B, are good,
and available to the Company for that amount, or nearly that amount. 1 have taken some pains
to ascertain the value of Stocks held by the Company, having visited the several Companies and
conversed fully and freely with their respective officers.
The building belonging to the Company, on the corner of Walnut and Four 1 erects, is a very
{ line free stone building v. ell built, and admirably arranged ; its location is one of the best for
business purposes in Philadelphia. I have '-ailed upon the gentlemen who built it and sold it to
the Company, who informed me that it cost him over $70,060 cash. I think this property would
_ be aco >d investment at $75,000.
The Real Estate Mortgages contained in the statement of the Company, are all eood for the
amount stated and cover property worth at least fifty per cent, more than the amount for which
they are mortgaged.
From this siati ment, it will be 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
eDjoys the full confidence of the business men of PMladelj hia.
