Tire Weather.
We have had a prospect of rain (which
is much needed,) for the past twenty
four hours, but have only been favored
with a sprinkle. The prospect still con
tinues good, and we hope, will be rea
lized, for the want is almost insupport
able.
Mr. Lucibn La Taste, formerly of
the Houghton Institute in this city, re
rently dcliverd a leccure on the subject
of education at LnFayette, Ala. His
chief object appeared to be to prove the
superiority of Mourns' grammar over all
other systems. The Chambers Tribune,
referring to the lecture, says :
mp “ The Professor occupied near two
* hours in the delivery of his lecture, and
during the whole time he was listened
to with marked attention. In the course
of his remarks, he threw out many good
hints to parents and teachers, and his
lecture was characterized throughout by
that practical good sense for which the
speaker is noted. We think we hazard
nothing in saying that Prof. LaTaste
pointed out, to the minds of many pre
sent, some very material errors in the
old systems of English grammar now in
use.
We see by the Citizen that Mr. La-
Taste proposes to visit Macon shortly,
for the purpose of organizing a class for
instruction in Mourns' System of Eng
lish Grammar, provided the prospect of
success will justify his visit.

Noble Donation.
Under this heading, we find the fol
lowing acknowledgment in the Charles
ton Courier of yesterday. This is the
second donation sent by the Young
Men’s Christian Association, for the re- 1
lief of the suffering in our sister city,
and those of New Orleans—the amount
sent the latter, we believe was ssoo.—■
It is a noble institution, and when they
make an appeal to our citizens it is
promptly responded to. Long may they
hold together as a body for mutual re
ligious benefit, and may their praise- j
worthy exertions in behalf of the afflic- [
ted, always meet a warm and ready re
sponce from our citizens.
[/Vo/n the Charleston Courier, 11/A ins/.]
Noble Donation.— Our absent asso
ciate will learn, with sincere gratifica- i
tion, as shown by the subjoined letter, I
that he lias been selected as the me- |
diutn of transmitting to the Howard ;
Association, of this city, the generous
donation of $1032.58, benevolently con
tributed by the Young Men's Christian
Association of Augusta, Ga., for the
benefit of the sufferers here by the pre
vailing epidemic. Such a substantial |
and speaking manifestation of sympa- !
thy with our affliction, on the part of
our sister city, is refreshing to the heart,
and challenges the warmest expression I
of grateful feeling.
This donation would have been ac
knoweledged earlier but for the absence
of one of the editors to whom jt was
addressed individually :
Augusta, October 5, 1858.
Richard Yeadon, flsq., Charleston:
Dear Sie : —Enclosed please find a
check on the Bank of Charleston for
one thousand and thirty-two 68-100
dollars, in behalf of the citizens of
Augusta, collected through a joint com
mittee of the Young Men's Christian
Association and the City Council, for
the benefit of the suffering poor of your
city.
Do me the kindness to hand it to the
President of the Howard Association,
and ask him to accept it, and with it
our earnest wish that the scourge that
now afflicts your devoted city may be
very speedily removed.
I am, dear sir, yourobd't servant,
Wm. H. Terr.
.Since the above was in type, we have
received the following communication
from the Chairman of the Young Men's
Christian Association and Committee of
the City Council.
Me. Ewtok:—Thinking that it would
be agreeable for the citizens to know
the amount given by each Ward, for
the relief of Charleston, I annex a
statement :
First Ward, : SIOO 00
Second 250 58
Third 500 00
Fourth 182 00
$1,032 38
The Committee cannot close their la
bors without acknowledging the general j
kind and courteous manner with which j
they were received, and the prompt and
free response that their solicitations :
met with. Very respectfully,
W. H. Turr, Ch’mn Y. M. C. A.
and City Council Committee. }
George J. Enslerbrook.
We regret to learn by the Norfolk I
papers, that this gentleman,well known |
to the typographical profession of this
city, and Savannah, died J
in that city on the 7th inst. in the
28th year of his age. He died of Brain !
Fever.
New Advertisements.
Clarke & Co.—We would call the [
attention of the ladies, citizens, and
interior merchants to the advertisement
of this firm, in this day's paper. It is j
one of the oldest jewelry establishments
in this city, and the former reputation
of the house is well kept up by the pre
sent proprietors. They have on hand,i
one of the largest, richest, and best se- j
leoted stocks of watches, jewelry, silver .
and plated ware, fancy articles, &c., that
can be found South, and they are satis- [
fled with quick sales and moderate pro- [
Jits. Ws never think of this house 1
but we have to recur to the old times
, whtn we were poor. Sometimes we had
money to pay, and knew not where to
raise it; we would look over our books,
there it was in black and white , but not
available. But we had to raide it by
t hook and crook, and after we got
“ through, the melancholy thought of
replacing it, would dampen our spirits.
On such occasions, bciug something of a
philosopher, wo used to visit Clark's
i store, look over his splendid goods,
. imagine them all ours, and after leav-
I ing, felt much better. We know not
. if our readers can do the same, but if
. they have money in their pockets, and
. wish to treat themselves or somo fair
friend, if they visit Clark’s they will
comeaway well satisfied with their pur
i chases.
\. La-Taste.—We would call atten
J tion to the advertisement of Mr. V. La
i Taste in this day’s paper. In addition
I to his large and well assorted stock of
, choice garden and field seeds, it will
be seen he has made a direct importa
> tion from Paris of choice garden and
I flower seeds, to which he invites atten
, tion.
I Dancing.—Professor Biggs’ Dancing
| Academy, it will be seen, is now open

Water, Water, More Water!
Mr. Eoitor A writer in the Consti
tutionalist of yesterday, directing the pub*
• lie mind to Judge King’s springs, bet
ter known as Bugg’s spring, (being a
pSrt of the head waters of Cupboard
. creek, where a bountiful supply of pure
water may easily be procurred for the
use of our city,) deserves the thanks of
our thirsty citizens just now suffoca
ting with the dust from our streets
The matter of conducting water from
the source designated will appear most
feasible at first sight to any practical
| man. To obtain a supply for all neces
sary purposes, laying the dust in particular,
the copious stream from the spring of
Mr. McLaws, being quite accessible
should be brought under consideration.
The water from the two springs may
be easily concentrated to a point near
the residence of Mr. Sayre, by ordinary
ditching, to be conducted into pipes to 1
! run parallel with the Georgia Railroad
|to the city. By the use of machinery
itcan be easily forced up toany level that
may be required to satisfy the wants of
of our people. o e «

tie Bow’s Review.
Mr. Kditor :—l respectfully ask for a
brief space in your columns to solicit
public attention to the merits of the
publication, the name of which is placed
at the head of this article; and Ido so
witli the greater pleasure, as Professor
Stueckrath, who is associated with Mr.
Deßow in the conduct of the Review, is
now in our city, and will be pleased to
take tlie names of such of our citizens
as may desire to subscribe to it. Hav- ,
ing long been a reader of this work,
the writer can but express his surprise
that it lias not been more extensively
patronised in this city and immediate
section. Whatever is most radically
important to the South, either in de
fence of her peculiar structure of so
ciety, or tlie development of her re- I
sources and interests in agriculture,
manufactures, commerce, education, in
ternal improvements, &e., is advocated
in this Revietv with an ability and prac
ticalness unexcelled, and, I think, un
equalled in any similar work in this
country or Europe. No question is
more vitally important to the South
than that of African slavery. Much
has been written on this subject by pub
licists and pamphleteers for and against
the institution ; but nowhere, in all the ,
range of thought and fulness of expo
sition, can its true nature, its moral,
social, and political merits be found
more philsophically expounded than in
the pages of this Review. In it are
found facts as opposed to dogmas, ex
perience opposed to theories ; and the
institution stands out boldly and tri
umphantly vindicated against the
puerilities and rickety sophisms of its
deadly foes. The Revieie is emphatical- ,
ly the herald of an age of progress in
public sentiment favorable to the pecu
liar institution of our beloved section. [
The specialities of negro slavery are so ,
| truthfully portrayed that the minds of i
the more skeptical are made to see, as '
jby demonstration, that whatever most |
| utilises the negro is best for him and ,
the white man; that the normal rela
| tion of the negro is subordination to
[the white man ; that negro labor is es
i sential to southern and tropical civiliza
j tion.
! Tlie Review is not confined to the in- :
j terests of tlie South ; while they are
[ primarily prominent, no interest in any
[section is overlooked, and all aro so
brought into view that the statesman,
j the merchant, the mechanic—indeed,
[all classes of intelligent citizens can
see, as if from a lofty summit, the great
progress of social, commercial and po
! litical events. f
The October is a splendid number o
the Review. The contributions aro rich,
'full of useful thought, and clothed in
elegant diction. Editorials are pleas
! ing and instructive. Time, Inoney by
thousands, patriotism, lovo of section ,
j and country, all are expended upon this 1 1
work. Will not our people fester it by
their substantial patronage ? No better
[opportunity can present itself than the
[present. Profe-sor Stueckrath is in the ,
city, to receive and receipt for subscrip
tions. It is pleasing to know, that in
( encouraging this work, we can aid in I
strengthening the rights of the South ,
| without drawing the sword, and build- 1
[ing up southern prosperity without be
[ing inimical to the general good of the ,
(Union of States. Patriotism, j
A Fireman. Look at the hero,
Carr, of Cincinnati, who mounted the
ladder, and forced his way through ra

, he bore out a mother in bis arms.—
Again he plunged into the fiery abyss
and brought a child ; again another
child. There is no such a hero as that
man on military record. He is worth
all the heroes that stormed the Mala
koff. The firemen of Ohio should raise
a monument to his famo. But then he
1 didn't kill anybody, he only saved a

continue heavy, and as buyers refuse to operate
at the prices asked by sellers, the latter have
had to yield in order to effect sales. The mar
ket this morning has been quiet, and the sales
made were at a reduction of %(3) v 4 ' cent from
previous rates. As far as reported to us they
sum up 190 bales, 68 at 11X, 24 at 11&, and 98

ce pts on Saturday were 1,184 bales and sales 360 j
bales. In the early part of the day prices were j
from 11 to 11 %. in the afternoon prices give way, i
and 11 % was t he best that could be obtained ex- j
cept for Middling Fair. The amount or Cotton
ofieriug is far in excess of the demand, which I
will account for the giving way in rates. The
week’s receipts are about 7,657 bales, and sales
2,678 bales.
SAVANNAH, Oct. 11.4 P M.— Cotton. —We
report sales of 474 bales to day. The market
was dull and heavy, and prices have given way |
from our quotations of last Friday XfdXc. Tho I
transactions have been made at irregular pri
ces, rendering it difficult to represent the mar 1
ket fairly by quotations. The 36 bales reported !
below at 12&, were sold by the seller to be a

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OK THE STATE OF NEW YORK. „
Hon. S. K. Church, Comptroller, kc.*~Dc<tr Sir: Agreeably to your request, I have exam
mod, I believe critically aud fully, the affairs, condition and assets of the Great Western Insurance
and Trust Company. I have seen and inspected not only their Books, which are wel kept, be*
the Assets under the heads of Cash on hand, Bills Receivable, and Stock Notes, nnd feel
safe in reporting *o you that the four items of “ Cash on hand and iu the hands of Agents,” **Utb
settled Premiums.” ‘-Bills Receivable,” and “Stock Notes,’’ amounting to $93,868, are grMAtttinEH
and available to the Company lor that amount, or neariy that amount. I have taken some pa®/*
to ascertain the value of Stocks held by the Compauy, having visited the several Companies Jhl
conversed fully ami freely with their respective ortlcers. J
The buildiug belougmg to the Company, on the turner of Walnut and Fourth streets, is a vJH
fine free stone building, well built, and admiral.ly arranged ; its location is one of the
business purposes in Philadelphia. I have- ailed up. u the g.utlemeu who built it
the Company, who informed tm- that it cost him over S7O, cash. I think this prdM
be a good investment at $75,000.
The Real Estate Mortgages contained in the statement of the Company, are all good for
amount stated, and cover property worth ai least fifty per cent, more than the amount for which wi
they are mortgaged.
From this statement, it will be seen that this Company should receive your Certificate.
sire io add that the Company seems to be intelligently and prudently managed, and I find that
enjoys the full confidence of the business men of Philadelphia. •
Signed, L. S. CHATFIELD, Agent of Comptroller of New York.
