That the “credit system" i#carried to ngrentcr extent in tho United Slates, than In any oilier coun try on tlm face of the glolm, will, w« Imlievo, be conceded without argument. Now.it is notour present purpose to inquire, whether thi# is to Imnt- tribute.! to tlm extreme honesty of our people, ns distinguished iilmvo those of all other nations, or simply Imcanso we commenced on rreilit when money was M-nrco during tho revolntionuiy con test, nnd hnvo never ln-en nldo to rid ourselves of tlm“ had hahil" since. We will leave tlm question for more profound philosophers than we pietcnd to lie, to determine. Wo belie.0 though, that in no brunch of business has the system heen enrried to a more disastrous length, than in tho newspujier line. Everywhere, hut In Americn, newspupers nro cash articles—they are paid for in advance, In tho pro vincial towns, or bought hy single copies in tho largo ami populous cities, by those who do not wish to subscribe hy the year. It wani'd, indeed, Im well, if this plan was gener ally adopted. In thi* country', where the price of a newspaper is a mere trifle, because knowledge Is not taxed as it i# in Europe, nnd no censorship exist*, but that of pul lie opinion, there is really no excuse fqr those win neglect to pay for n newspaper. Public journals h ive long since become almost ns necessary to salLfy tho mental, a* food is essential to still the cravings oftlm physical appetite. When iliev liavo nttuined this position, it surely lies with their proprietor* tlioinsclves, to inako their own terms: and hy concert of action, they must succeed. Wo despair, however, of anything effective being .done wilhout n complete reform in tho present system. Nothing will do this, until proprietors of newspapers absolutely refuse to lot any person Imvo paper until Im pays lor it. By this plain nnd -piitalde course, nil immense saving will he nmdu to proprietors of public journal*. 1 bey will hnvo ore menus to gratify thoir readers, and tlm dicln- r< ' C1 ' rial—consequential nir of patronage—on which e press in its present condition i* servilely com- •lied to irail—will in a great measure he dnnn away with, nnd the press left, in fact und indeed, n 'frer agent.' 1 Besides, tho wages oftlm operative# in n printing ifice, must be pail in cash, weekly—therefore *!i payment* are absolutely necessary to meet tbo demand.

The practice therefore is for each Bank to check for its own funds, or in 01 lie; words, to get them back in the best way it enn, as nt-ilhcr Bank umlcrtujicti to oolloc.l and remit. Exchange having hern for seve ral years in favor nf Charleston throughout Genre gin, the Institutions in the latter Stale have laid no difficulty in getting hack their funds; check:* 011 Cliarleslou being constantly in ilennmd nod ul pro; mimn; but nn the other Inmd Georgiu funds, furtive; ry olivi iis ivasotij have not heen equally convertible, and the Banks ol this city found it accessary In send an agent almost every week into Georgia, to snltlq with the I list ilul inns of thnt State. The terms mndq hy tlm Bank of Charleston in the settlement* Imvo always been oft 1a* most liberal character, ns it is liTNy Jieved, the Georgia Banks generally will bear testi- m ay. , This explain* the origin nnd eecos. i'y of Heading nn :ig* nt ali-oad. To relation tn .he particular tern’s nf settlemei.t tillered the .'uivanniih Bnuk. some fur ther explnirilion i* necessary, in that city, it ha# heen hitherto rasinmnry for llm Banks to receivo at their counters in payment, the bill* nf nil tho intcring UmiksofGeorgia, in consequence ofwhich, Savannah fimil# were always nt tho B.vmo discount ns Macini funds: Imt dating the past winter tho Snvnnnuh Banks rofu-icr) tn receive any bull heir own or Ail gits'a Bank Bills either iu pnyment or on deposito, nnd the result of this measure wiis n rapid appreci ation of .Savannah funds, which nro now til par iq this city. Under these circumstances un offsett ac count between corresponding Banks in,tlm two i ties would lie the most equitable nnd convenient,but this appreciation of Snvnmmli funds is lull recent— tlm Bank of Charleston litis'ulw-ays hud great diffi culty in converting its Snvnnunli funds:—has never, tlipnght itself entitled tn nsk tin uflselt iti account and such offsett was tendered hy the Snvnnunli Banks. Of lire, u largo portion of the demand* against Savannah consisted of Bills taken on depos it!: hy the Banks here at pur. Those Billsweregc- la'iully three or four weeks nccmuuhiting to mi n- monnt sufficiently largo to justify tlm expense of sending an agent to coUec.lthem, and this cireunre slaiu-e, together with what litis been already said, will explain tho rensonulilonr## qftho terms offered hy the Bank of Charleston. When tho agent of this Institution appeared iu Savannah with Snvnmmli funds, la* wn* tlmre at the expense of his Bank,w ith n fund of gold and silver. Wlmt did ho offer 7 Hq ollered to redeem in Suvnnnnh with coin, tho Bills of his own Bank, defraying himself tho expense off-- going to Snvniiunhtodu so, when those Bills ntq only redeemable at the cooler nf tho Bank of Chare lesion. Ho offered to giro Coin for Charleston fund* at j per cent discount. That the funds hop; pencil tn ho in his own Bank did not alter the prin^- ciple. The Bank of Churk'r.tnn hnd received for tlnwo very collections, Bill* of tho Bank# in Snvan- nnh & Augusta, Bills of thu - Hamburg, Camden, Columbia, Cheraw nml Georgetown Bnnks—-nm] what dirl the Savannah Bank require at its bunds t Why, that the Bnult ofChurleston should net only .culled and concentrate tho fund# from all thosq points, hut actually at its own expense nnd for tii nccc.ni modal ion ami advantage of the Savnonali Bank, sent tin Agent to Savannah, to hand over thd nmmmr to the Cashiers therein gold and river oi; its equivalent, free of nil charges and expenses!— Now we venture to snv that a more preposterous no-i lion than this never wn# entertained, nnd tho won der is, while our good friends-in Savannah were up-’ hniiiling the Bank of Charleston for refusing to send an Agent to Savannah, to entry them gold nnd silver for their collodions, it never occurred to them 11s somewhat strange that they should feel hostile nt giving the same terms they were so strenuous in demanding for themselves. If tho Bank o( Charleston hnd w ritten to the Planters' Bank, suit ing that there wns n Imlanco against tbo hitter of $80,000, ami requesting that nn Agent should bq sent to Charleston at the expense and risk of thq Savannah Bonk, to bring $80,000 of ChnrleMon fund* |o liquidate the debt with, and to take bnclc also at their risk, the Suvnnunh fund#, nil thiswoulc} have appeared highly ridieulnu* iu tho eye# of our worthy neighbor#, nnd yet this is precisely tho «ct; Dement required nt our hands by tbo Savanmdj CHARLESTON.
