PRESENTMENTS.
Richmond County Superior Court, June Term
1853—First Week.
The Grand Jury offers the following Present
ments:
I he Committe appointed to examine the Books
in the office ot the Clerks of the Superior and
Inferior Courts, rpport, the records to be in ad
mirable order. The reversed Index of all the
Records of Deeds, Mortgages, &c., from the 20th
March, 1784, to the present time, and which
was recommended by a former grand jury, and
ordered to be executed by the Inferior Court
has been completed, and adds very much to the
convenience of all wishing to consult the Re
cords. All the Papers and Records in the office
of the Ordinary are in good order.
1 he following persons have taken out licenses
to retail spirituous liquors in this county: John
Livings on, Joseph Graves, Nicholas Smith,
Jason Watkins, Mrs. McCarty, James Lovell.
The Committee appointed to examine the
County Treasurer’s Books, report the same to
be kept in an exceedingly neat and correct style
From his books it appears that only sl9 25
have been received from estrays since 1846.
We append the following abstract of some of the
amounts paid out by order of the Inferior Court.
Tears. Paid to Paupers. Poor Honse. Roads.
1850 $1,013 11 $ 773 44 $4,912 02
1851 1,485 65 1.059 54 2,579 B 6
1852 1,921 12 1,712 00 5,784 37
$4,419 88 $3,544 98 $13,276 05
The Jail Committee report the Prison in good
order, and the prisoners well attended to and
safely by the Jailor. They also call the atten
tion of those whose duty it may be to investi
gate and regulate the same, to a prisoner in the
jail, who is a superannuated slave, rendered in
capable of service by his age, and who has been,
for months past, a pauper upon the public. The
odium of such neglect should rest upon the own
er of said slave, and we ask for a special investi
gation of this matter.
The Committee appointed to examine into
the condition of the Roads, report, that they
have not been able to make but an imperfect
examination, and trust that the Grand Jury of
next week will give this matter their attention.
The Grand Jury recommend to the Legisla
ture to change the name of Poor Schools to Free
Schools. We deem it unnecessary to state rea
sons (or such an alteration, as they must be.ap
parent to every reflecting mind.
The Grand Jury represent as a grievance the
permission given to certain negroes, to wander
through our streets, known to labor under the
diseases of Epilepsy and Insanity. We cal) the
attention of the Inferior Court, or the City
Council of Augusta, to this matter, and trust
that measures will be adopted to provide a
suitable and comfortable place for them, —and
while on this subject, we invite the attention ot
the proper authority to an exercise ot the guar
dian care which our laws have extended over
all infirm and neglected blacks.
We call the attention ot the Inferior Court to
the condition of the chairs and table in the
Grand Jury room, and recommend that the ta
ble be re-covered, and arm-chrirs be provided.
The Grand Jury have heard complaints in re
gard to unlawful trading wi'h negroes—fur
nishing liquor to slaves—and permitting negroes
to loiter about where spirits are sold in this city.
We refer all matters of this character to the at
tention of the City Council of Augusta, and their
Police Officers. If such practices are permitted
not in consequence of any
rectf'iii the laws of the State, or the Ordinances
of the City of Augusta.
Upon the great question of the day, which is
now agitating the whole country—the granting
of licenses, we think it proper to express our
views.
We believe there is but one sentiment in the
community as to the great evils resulting from
intemperance, of which we have of late been
forcibly impressed by reading the able papers
upon the subject by his Honor, but as to the
best mode of remedying this evil, there is a
great diversity of opinion. We however, ex
press it as our opinion, that the plan proposed at
the Atlanta Convention, of leaving it to a vote
of each district, License or no License, is at the
present time the best mode, and therefore re
commend the passage of this law to the Legis
lature.
We would call the attention of the public and
especially the Legislature, to the great evil of
Lotteries. The general voice of the country, in
the present stage of civilization, is against the
existence of Lotteries; and the people of Georgia
have expressed by repeated acts of their repre
sentatives, commencing as far back, as the year
1761, again and again enacted laws showing
th *ir ahhorence of all Lotteries and gaming of
whatever form ; and yet in spite of these laws,
there are Agencies in all the principal citips ot
the State, where Schedules of Lotteries are ad
vertised, and where tickets are daily furnished,
which often lead to the ruin of respectable citi
zens ; and, further more tend to corrupt the
blacks in our m dst. We present this as a very
great evil, and call upon our legislators, at their
next session, to devise some effectual means of
putting a stop to this nefarious business.
We retu n our thanks to his His Honor. Judge
E Starnes, and to the Attorney General, Mr.
Shewmake. for their attention and courtesy to
our body during the present week.

A true extract from minutes of Superior Court
of June Term,lßs3
Oswell E. Cashin, Clerk.
July 2nd, 1853.
The Horse Trade has of late years assumed an
importance in Philadelphia and New York which
few persons attach to it. A fact is mentioned
by the Lancaster Independent Whig, which
shows this strikingly. It. is. that a single for
warding house in that city, Messrs Powl &
Mishler, has, since the beginning of the present
year, sent 1183 head ot horses, by lailroad, to
Philadelphia. So exceedingly great has been
the growth of this city as well as New York,
that the number of horses required tor use is im
mens,and constantly augmenting. Hard work,
warm weather, disease, casualty, age. and other
causes, diminish the number of our hiftses con
tinually, and the chief supplies to re-place them
and to meet the growing demand, are derived
lrom the interior of our own State, and the great
West.— Phila. U. Si Gazctu.

Augusta Market—July 6.
THE CROPS.—Another month has rolled by
| and still we hear complaints from sections in this
and other States, of the suffering and stunted con
dition of the cotton plant from the excessive
drought experienced. Within the past week or two,
n Middle Georgia and the upper portion of South
, Carolina slight rains have fallen, but the ground
! was so parched that they have done but little good.
| ilu a recent visit to the upper part of this State,
and extended into Middle Tennessee, wo saw but
few crops of cotton that were not backward two
or three weoks, and stunted in growth. The Corn
crop in the middle and upper portions of this State
will turn out poorly. The excessive drought has
stunted its growth, shrivelled its foliage, and caused
portions of it to tassel when not over waist high.
In Eastern and Middle Tennessee, planters have
been favored with a more propitious season, and
all the Corn we saw looked healthy, and was grow
ing finely. The Wheat crop has been harvested,
and is the best yield for many years past. Oats
have suffered much, and the crop will bo short.
We learn that a fine rain fell at Waynesboro’ on
Saturday evening last, which extended some dis
tance along the Central Railroad In this city, on
Sunday evening and last evening, we had fino falls
of rain, which will no doubt be beneficial in its re
sults.
By our monthly tables it will be seen that the
Receipts at all the ports show an excess of 209,086
bales, as follow : Increase at
New Orleans 219,131
Texas 18,801
North Carolina 3,446

Tho Exports show an increase to Great Britain
of 39,197 bales, and to France of 250 bales. There
has been a falling off to other Foreign ports of 914,
and to Coastwise ports of 4,033 bales. Increase of
shipments to all points, 34,500 bales.
COTTON.—A better feeling has been manifested
this week in our Cotton market, but the move
ments have been limited, the sales reaching only
12 to 1500 bales at full prices. Tho offering stock
is light, and all put on the market meets with
ready sale. As prices hare assumed more steadi

GROCERIES.—Wo have no material change to
notice in the prices of any leading article in the
Grocery line. The market is well supplied with all
dessriptions, and merchants find some employment
in filling small country orders.
CORN.—There has sprung up within the past
week or ten days a speculative feeling in the Corn
market, and as the article is very scarce at present,
holders within the past day or two have been sell
ing, in small parcels, for immediate use, at $1 per
bushel. We omit quotations, but would remark
that a large lot would bo difficult of sale at 85 to
90 cents, and wore any quantity pressed on the mar
ket, still lower prices would have to be taken.—
Cow Peas, for planting, are retailing at sl. No
Oats m market. The last sale we heard of was at
65 cents.
BACON—I? dull of sale—stock on hand heavy.
Wo quote hog round 8 a 8] cents —the latter fer a

FLOUR. —We have no change to notice in prices*
Good supply on hand. Old superior Augusta Canal

SALT.—We have heard of no large transactions

13 cents
STOCKS. —Little or none on the market for sale.
At auction yesterday, 25 Shares Bank of Augusta
was sold at $lO3, which is under its value, and 5
Shares Railroad at sllO per share.
BEEF and HOGS.—The demand is confined to
city wants, and small lots ofgood fat beef are worth

price, dressed. Fair supply in market. Tennessee
and Cherokee dried Beef in quarters, has been

MOLASSES. —Fair supply on hand. We quote

Wo continue to quote to Savannah 25 cents per
bale, and to Charleston per Railroad, 50 cents.—
Not much offering to either point.
Savannah, July 1, P. M— Cotton. —Arriv
since the 24th instant 561 bales Upland (142 per
Railroad, 413 from Augusta and landings on the
river, and (> from l'arien,) and 10 do. Sea Islands.
The expoits for the same period amount to 6.222
bales Upland, and 241 do. Sea Island, viz : to Liv
erpool 5,463 baes Upland and 217 do. Sea Island ;
to New-York, 590 bales Upland, 24 do. Sea Islands;
to Philadelphia 11 bales Upland; and to Charleston,
158 bales Upland; leaving on hand and on ship
board not cleared, a stock of 6,982 bales Upland,
and 51 do. Sea Islands, against 10,693 bales Up
land, and 199 do. Sea Islands, at the same time
last year.
The market has been in a very quiet state all the
week with no variation in rates. On Friday there
was no sales; on Saturday the transactions wore
157 bales: on Monday 86; on Tuesday 177; on
Wednesday 160; and yesterday 20 bales. On Sun
day we received three days later news from Europe
by the Baltic at New York. There had been no
change in the quotations at Liverpool, though the
market was more animated with larger transac
tions than usual in the lower grades The sales
of the three days were 25,000 bales; the imports
in the same time were 30 000 bales. We have no
important information in relation to the growing
crop. The weather has been warm and favorable
except the want of rain. In some sections of Geor
gia the Cotton crops have not suffered in eonse
qucnco of the drought, and we learn from the
papers, that in some places in Mississippi there has
beon two much rain.
There is very little business doing, and it is diffi
cult to furnish correct quotations, bat we renew
those of last week as the best indication we can
give ot the present state of the market, and quote :
Ordinary to Good Ordinary S 3 a 9}
Low Middling 10 a
Good Middling lOf aIOJ
Middling Fair 11 a
Fair to Fully Fair Hi a—
The sales of the woek amount to 583 bales, at
the following particulars : 2 at 8 ; 7 at 81 ; 12 at
83; 31 at 9; 34 at 91 i 31 at 95; 48 at 93; 62 at
10 ; 8 at 101 i 61 at 101 ! 58 at 10 ‘ ; 132 at 10J ;
10 at 10;, an 1 87 bales at 11 cents.
Sea Islands. —Wo have no sales to report this
week. The market is dull and the demand is for
the better qualities. There is hardly a bale for
sals of the finer qualities, and but little of any
kind.
Rice. —About 360 casks were sold at $3.75. The
present demand is very lim ted.
Charleston. July I. Cotton. —This article was
very much neglected throughout the whole of the
previous week, and when we closed our enquiries
preparatory to our report of the 24th ult, pricos
were d -pressed, and the market wore a decidedly
languid and drooping appearance; and these re
marks may also be considered applicable to the bu
siness of the week under review.
The transactions have been limited, and indi
cate a decline during the fortnight c.f about } a }c.
from tho highest point; we must here remark,
howevor, that while some of our sellers, owing to
circumstances over which they had no control,
have sold at tho above reduction, thero are those
who havo positively refused to make any such
concession Tho sales wero confined principally
to tho Good Middling and Middling Fair qualities,
which may he quoted nominally at 10j| to 10 2c. —
We have no quotations to offer for the other grades.
The sales of the week may be estimated as fol
lows: Friday 220; Saturday—; Monday 624;
Tuesday 1470; Wednesday 248; and Thursday
400—snaking an aggregate of 2962 bales, against
the receipts in tho same time of 5012 bales. Tho
transactions comprise 9 bales at 8}: 221 at 83;
328 at 9 ; 118 at 9} ; 227 at 9} ; 39 at 9|; 5at93 ;
59 at 10 ; 32 at 10|; 660 at 10 J ; 520 at 10* ; 440
at 10| ; 63 atlOf; 193 at 11; and 16 halos at
111 c. Wo havo no transactions to report in Long
Cotton.
Rice. —This article has been rather noglected
this week, and prices have exhibited a languid and
drooping appearance. The receipts comprise 1587
tierces, a portion of wh-ch has been stored, as the
parties could not come to terms. The transactions
have been at prices ranging from 3} a s3|; the
hulk of tho sales, however, were mado at 3} and
s3l per hundred.
Corn. —The receipts for some time hack have
beon very light, which has materially reduced tho
stock on salo, and the supply in the hands of some
of our dealers is at present quite light, and sellers
have consequently realized a higher range of pri
ces. The receipts this week comprise 6300 bushels
Maryland, 1800 of which sold at 68. and 1500 do.
of strictly primoquality at 71c. The balance, 3000
bushels, remain unsold, tho highest offer being 64e.,
which was relused.
liny —A small lot of Eastern, received since
our last, has been sold at the high price of $1.47
per 100 lbs. The stock of Hay has been materially
red-cod, in consequence of the light receipts for
some time hack, and wo hazard the opinion that
the first arrivals will bring good prices, perhaps an
advance on our present quotations.
Oats. —Wo note thg receipt this woek of upwards
of 2300 bushels, which changed hands at 46 a 47c.,
which is an improvement on transactions. The sup
ply is light, and hence the advance.
Flour. —The article has been very much neg
lected this week. There bavo been some forced
sales at prices showing a very unsettled market,
llaltimorc brands havo ranged from 5 a 5§ per bar
rel ; Western from 4| a SJ; and North Carolina
has been sold as low as 43 per bbl.
Lard. —We have no transactions to report; our
quotations however, will give a fair criterion of tho
state of the market.
Baron. —Th's articlo has been very much neglec
ted this week, and prices at tho close of business
show a deeided tendency in favor of buyers. Sev
eral small lots of Shoulders have been run off at
63c.; Sides principally at BJc.: and Hams within
the range of our quotationt. as in quality.
Batrtfinsr and Rope. —Nothing has been done
in the former article. The latter selling from 8 a
83-
u 4*
Salt. —Tho receipts since our last reach upwards
of 3000 sacks, which have changed hands at prices
within the range of our quotations.
Domestic Liquors. —We have no transactions to
report. New Orleans Whisky is worth 24 a2sc. per
gallon.
Sei^ars. —There was a sale of 100 hhds. of Mus
covado, a favorite brand, taken by a denier, at a
price which has not been allowed to transpire.
P.ovond this transaction, nothing has been donoin
this article.
Coffee. —The transactions have been confined to
small lots Rio, at prices ranging from 83 a 93c., as
in quality.

previ iusly reported.

as loading for Liverpool, havo completed their car

Foreign Markets.
Liverpool, Jmte 14.—At tho date of departure
of tho Niagara our Cotton market closed heavily,
with few offerings and an evident desire on the
I part of to make progress in sales, to effect
| which concessions had to be submitted to; this
i was mcro particularly the case on Saturday last,
| on which day the business was restricted, and prices
j of American generally were quoted at j lower. —
j Since the arrival of the Africa on Sunday morn
ing a better demand has existed, the transactions
j extended, and prices have partially recovered to
j tho level of last week’s quotations; the increased
1 business must, however, be ascribed to tho opera
! tions of a large speculative house, w o havo taken
freely of the lower grades, rather than any improve
ment in the general tone of tho market, or diposi
tion on the part of the trade to add to their stock,
although other circumstances are in favor of the
| a tide, the upward move is kept in check by poli
| cal events, which continue to engross public atten
j tion to the produce of every consideration. San
| guine expectations are still indulged in for the
i amicable adjustment of differences between the
j contending powers, but the depressing influence of
j the last news from Constantinople and St. Peters
burg on all public securities in this country and
! elsewhere, and the apathy displayed for extending
! commercial operations, sufficiently evidence the
[ anxiety that is felt for the result. Holders continue
j to meet tho inquiry with a liberal supply, and
| prices can scarcely bo said to bo more than nomi
nally steady ; each day bringing about a dift'eront
: feeling.
j The sales of the three days arc estimated at

Tuesday, 10,000 5,000 9.400 500 100
Imports of the same time about 30,000 bales.
Tho possibility of a speedy solution to tho pres
ent political crisis, without endangering the peace
of Europe, is regarded with some favor in Manches
ter since tho telegraphic advices were received this
morning, and has imparted a more cheerful tone
amongst all classes in that vicinity. Although we
cannot advise any extension of business, it is pleas
ing to say even this much, as it is evident that this
' question alono there, as well as here, is the only
j impediment to an active trade being carried on.
The Grain market shows symptoms of waver
ing. partially influenced by the fine and seasonable
weather now prevailing, which is working wonders
on tho g'owing crops, and more so by high rates
ruling for all kinds of Breadstuffs. Although there
is no change of note in prices, and holders are firm
in general, consumers operate only to a moderate
extent, and speculation is limited to a few parcels ot
prirno Philadelphia and Baltimore Flour. Wheat
is by no means in active d maud, and Indian Corn
moves slowly at last quotations.
[The Circular of Messrs. Brown, Shipley & Co.
says:—“ There has been an active demand for
Cotton for four days : both yosterdav and te-dny
the business has been fully iO,OOO bales each day,
one half on speculation, and the market close
steady at the full prices of Friday last, tho turn he
