Letter from Augusts.

AUGUSTA, Dec, 16, 1868
To the Editor OF the Press;
The spacious new edItice of the First Bap-
list Society in this city was filled to overflow.
ing yesterday afternoon on the occasion of its
dedication. The old church, il is known, ha.
been entirely remOde.ed and reconstructed
during the past season, SO that all traces OF the
antiquated and dilapidated original are now
lest.
The exercises yesterday afternoon commence
ed at two O'CLOCK and were of a highly inter-
-esling character. They consisted of the fol
lowing: Invocation by Rev. A. r. Cane of
HaliowelI, Reading of the Scriptures by Rev.
N. j. Vince er, Prayer by Rev. B. +. Shaw.
Sermoa by Rev. A. X. p. Small OF Portland.
and Prayer of dedication by Rev. Dr.. Wilson
OF Watervillt, with appropriate hymns &C.
The discoul Sc of Mr.. Small was Que of his
happlest and best efforts. He read from the
fifth chapter of the second book of Chronicles.
aud as if inspired by the sacred magnifcence
OF the great dedication there described. pro.
ceeded to preach one of the m 3st powerful, ell
oqnent and effective sermons We ever herd
on any similar occasion. Those who listened
to him will not readily forget his manly, gen
erous thoughts and fearless expressions.
INTERNAL REVENUE.
The amount of Internal Revenue collected
in this District from the first of July Last to
the beginning of the present month, is S37 479:
and this sum will be increased by the receipts
OF the present month, to about 81 900, as the
whole amount Tor the first ha of the fl seal
year 1863 o. The receipts for the same months
last year amounted to S113 7OO showing re-
duct on of 81 200, or nearly two-thirds of the
whole amount. 4 single instance will
illustrate how This reduction is occasioned,-
Since the r venue Act was passed, the
North Vasselboro Manufacturing Compa,y
have paid tax rs high as $4,000 per month:
while their tax fer the quarter ending Sept,
80, 1853 was oaly Ssh the sales of the com.
piny ling nearly the same. Tie amount of
assessments remaining uncollected in this dis
trict will not exceed $500; and the small
amount abated IN any year, is of itself high
