Augusta can not only boast of her large ami well filled stores, some of l them 100 to 150 feet in depth, but we doubt if there is another city where j goods are more tastefully and attrac q tively displayed. Nearly all of our Dry -■ Goods, Fancy and Jewelry stores have had their windows enlarged and the dis play of goods in them is very attractive. Other branches of business seem to be .» catching the infection. In passing down Broad-street, yesterday, our atten tion was attracted to the window of Mr. A. Hatch’s Saddlery Warehouse, in he has a good sized white pony, lifelike, and fully caprisoned, standing F in a restless position and apparently clia ing his bit. It is well got up and but few pass by without stopping to take a look. Such displays look like pros- in business. *•♦•* cr We deep ly regret to learn that a little son of John Nelson, fell from a gate on yesterday, and broke his arm. C'linrleston Howard Association. The following letter of acknowledg ment and thanks, has been handed us for publication, which we do with plea sure : Office Howard Association, I Charleston Oct. 11,1858. ) Wm. H. Tutt, Esq. —Dear Sir : The i very liberal donation of one thousand I thirty-two dollars and fifty-eight cents, collected by the joint committee of . the Young Men’s Christian Association, I and the City Council, in behalf of the [ citizens of Augusta, has been banded to ' me by Richard Yeadon, the public, spir ited editor ot the Courier. Duriug the prevalence of the severe epidemic, with which an allwise Providence has Been fit to visit our afflicted city, the hands of our Association have been upheld, and the spirits of our untiring and faithful visitors have been greatly cheered by the wide-spread sympathy i manifested by the surrounding commu- L nities of our own State. But, sir, how I very grateful, not only to the members .of this Association, but to our whole l community, are such noble and gener ous acts as the one, which the citizens of your own Augusta have shown to wards the suffering poor of Charleston. The Christian spirit evinced by the - Young Men’s Christian Association," Jr and your citizens at large, is worthy of | example. It makes us feel, in our sor rows, that it is good for one to be af flicted. The work of our Association is com paratively a new one to our officers ; since its formation our city has been spared so-general an epidemic, but the zeal and earnestness of our visitors have overcome every difficultv, and no fear of consequencesli as deterred them frem a faithful discharge of their duties. Ot r Executive Committee has telt itself hon ored by so general a choice of this As Bociation, to be almoners of the large amount of funds received, and has re garded it a solemn duty to see them properly dispensed. Permit me again to return, to you, ami through you to the Young Men’s Christian Association, and the citizens of Augusta, the warmest thanks. I am, dear sir, with great respect and esteeem, yours, Geo. N. C’o’ffin, President Howard Association. -—— Savannah ElmUoii.

The following is the la test specimen : Patrick , is Baggage master on the Georgia Rail Road, and always at tentive to his business. A few even ings since, while at his post, he was ac costed by an excited passenger, who in a rude and boisterous manner demand ed repeatedly to know the whereabouts ► of his trunk. Pat, after several times replying to the interrogatory, at length lost his patience, and thus put an end to the stranger's troublesome question ing : “Och, misther,l wish in my soul you were the Elephant instead of a Jackass, for thin you’d have your thruuk always under yer eye.— At, In telligencer AVlmt’s in a Name ! The names of tho election preciucts in Schley county, Ga., are l’ond Town, Dick Skillet, Bump Head, and Nubbing Hill. A very euphonious catalogue, truly ! But the county site, which is said to be a very attractive locality, lately selected and fast improving, is called Ellaville —a name that fully atones for the rough taste displayed in naming the districts. It is so called in honor of a young lady of the place.— Columbus hnquirer, llt/i. -••« r Ethridge M.

It has been quietly hinted for some time, that the editor of the Tennessee Baptist— J. R. Graves—more widely known ns the author of the “ Great Iron Wheel"—was about to be arraign ed before the First Baptist Church, for conduct which is regarded “ immoral and unchristian." The last number of the Baptist contains the following ex tracts from the proceedingss of the reg ular business meeting of the church : We, the undersigned, members of the First Baptist Cburch, Nashville, Ten nessee, charge Rev. J. R Graves,a mem ber of said Church, and one of the ed itors of the Tennessee Baptist, with giossly immoral and unchristian con duct, in four distinct caseses, as fol lows : First, in that he has sought to bring upon R. B. C. Howell,the pastor of said Church, reproach and injury, and thus to destroy his character and influence in the Southwest, by forcing him into collision with Rev. A. C. Dayton, late Corresponding Secretary of the Bible Board, and now one of his associate edi tors, through the publication in his said paper of various false and mali cious representations. Secondly, in that he has endeavored to distract and divide said Church, by means of a conflict between its pastor and four of its deacons, and several others of its influential members,which he has labored to produce by numerous inflammatory articles published in his paper. Thirdly, in that he has uttered and published in his said paper, agaiust It. B. C. Howell, the pastor of this Church, sundry foul and attrocious libels. Fourthly, in that he has, at various times, attacked, slandered and abused ministers and brethren of high charac ter, belonging to our denomination, throughout the country, in his said pa per. J. C. Darden. Charles A. Fuller. The trial is fixed for Tuesday, before the church. Mr. Graves has beeeu accused, in Literary circles, of gross plaguarism—or what is worse—of appropriating almost a whole book, and issuing it as his own. He seems to court notoriety, and is cer tainly in a fairway to get a large share of it. The Fair opened to day, and was nu merously attended. The proposition of the Mayor, that the stores be closed, in order to give all a chance to attend was observed by many, but ns this is the busy season, the temptation was too strong among the calculating, and they kept open, as usual; some, whose spirits were willing, but whose pockets were weak, kept one door ajar. Tbo Fair Grounds are unusually attractive, and in my next I will allude to some of the “ lions ” and other animals of note, on exhibition. Our musically inclined fellow citizens j were regaled on Thursday night with j an Amateur Concert. The perform ance of Signor Roario Squeeliani—de cidedly an operatic nomenclature—elic ited considerable applause. There are no changes in the produce market since my last. CUMBERLAND.

Hon. S. E. Church, Comptroller. &c. —Dear Sir .- Agreeably to your request, 1 have exam ined. I believe critically and fully, the affairs, condition and assets ol the Great Western Insurance und 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, und feel perpecth safe in reporting ‘o you that the four items of “ Cash on bund and in the hands of Agents,” “Un settled Premiums,” ‘-Bills Receivable,’' and “Stock Notes,” amounting to $93,8f>8, are good and available to the Company for that amount, or nearly that amount. I have taken some i*aim to ascertain the value of Stocks held by the Company, having visited the several Companies ami conversed fully and freely with their respective oiiicers. • The building belonging to the Company, on the corner of Walnut and Fourth streets, is a very | tine free stone building, well built, and admirably arranged ; its location is one of the best foi business purposes in Philadelphia. I have failed upon the gentlemen who built it and sold it to the Company, who informed me that it cost him over $70,000 cash. I think this property would be a good investment at $75,000. The Real Estate Mortgages contained iu the statement of the Company, are all good for the amount stated, and 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, l de sire io add that the Company seems to be intelligently and prudently managed, and I find that it enjoys the full confidence of the business men of Philadelphia.
