Bines oar last weekly report we have had three All ures of the mail from the North, which brings us our supply of currency, and it has caused a stringen cy of our money market, and causes us at the South to'feol our deficiency of banking capital for our every day businese transactions. The one bank located in enr city does all it can to supply the deficiency that its capital will allow. But as our daily wants are for about ae much currency as we required when we bad three million of bank capital in our town, our eitnation can easily be imagined when we mention that at present onr banking capital ia but fire hun dred thousand dollars.

A steady increase of business has been the feature marking the past week, although, compared with the antebellum past the times are sxceedingly dull. The weather has been, and continues, most favorable for the transaction of business as well as the gathering the cotton crop and unless ws have an early frost or a spell of rain, we predict that some otour planters will reap a much better cotton harvest than they anticipa ted some weeks since. COTTON.—We closed our last review on a declin ing market. The decline continued for a day or two after that date, hut under the influence of more favor able news from New York rallied again, and Friday and Saturday of last week the market was quite bouy ant. On Monday of this week there was some de pression owing chiefly to the stringency in the money market. This morning, owing to the telegram from Liver pool, quoting cotton at 16kd, the market is somewhat excited, and we quote: Middling....... 1 38@— Strict Middling 39@40 Good Middling 40@— • Thee receipts to the 9th inst. were... 4,166 The receipts since are 2,091 Total to date ,6,257 The sales to the 9th Inst, were 6,354 The sales since are 1,461 Tetal 7,816 COTTON GOODS.—We quoted last week at 18 for 7-8; 21 for 4-4, and 22X for Drillings. The Au gusta Factory is now at work, filling orders at these prices, but will accept no more orders nt the same rates. The probability is that an advance of 1 cent per yard will take place in a day or lwo. BACON—Is quite active at our figures, and the stoekon hand is light. FLOUR—Is in demand at advanced prices. Bco quotations. CORN—Is brisk, and has advanced 6c. per bushel. WHEAT.—These is a good demand tor a good ar ticle, hut such an article is very scarce.

H“WK, THE GRAND JURY OF RICHMOND COUNTY, chosen anil sworn for tho first week, Octo ber term, 1865, teg leave io malts the following pre sentment* : We find the records of the Ordinary kept in apian* did order, reflecting great credit upon that moat effici ent officer. The records in the office of the Judge of the Coun ty Court, and of the Clerk of the Superior and Inferi* or Conrta, are kept la a neat, correct, and busineas line manner. We weuld call the attantien of the proper authori tle# to the condition of soma of the records In the office of the Clerk of the Superior Court, which have been so badly injured by the dampness of the room and inaecta of some kind as to render portions of some of tbe meet Important and valuable paper* illegible We bare examined the Jail, and regret to say that every apartment It crowded with criminals ; while we are pleased to report that its iamates are ia a healthy and comfortable condition. With the exception of two or three eases of chills and fever, there is no sick ness on ths premises, and great credit!* due to Mr. Ba rasas, the Keeper, for the remarkably cleanly con dition of every apartment in and about tbe building. The number of prisoner* reported by the Jailor are fifteen whites and eighty-lve black*, many of whom have been in prison more than aix month*, and some since January last, without being brought to trial, thereby imposing a heavy burthen of expense on the City, and inflicting groat Injustice on the entire com munity. We would therefore respectfully and car. neatly call the attention of the Court to this groat evil of procrastination, and trust the wisdom of the Court will devise some means by which criminals may he brought to a speedy trial. D Is believed that many of these offenders could be tried without throwing such unneeeasary bui dsns on the Superior Court, and we recommend that some means be devised by wliich they may be disposed of by tbe lower Courts. We have been informed that provision has been made for all necessary repairs on the Jail building. We have ascertained, by diligent enquiry, that the Poor House is in a dilapidated con dition, and require* Immediate repairs. We find that the Bridges serose Big and Little Eplrlt Creeks, on the Savannah Koad, are in n very bad con dition, and that tlio Bridge at Richmond Factory and at McDade’s Mill needs thorough repairing; that Patterson’s Bridge is almost impassable, and no Bridge at all at Bynes’ Mill; and that the roads generally are In a very bad condition, and requires tbe lmmedia e attention of the contractors; and the branoli of the Milledgeville Road, leading from Morgan’s former residence, requires reopening. So much has already been said on the subject of Education by our predecessors, in times past,,wlth lit tle or noeffect, that it is deemed almost,unnecessary to allude to the matter in these presentmen s; yet we cannot but regret that our elegant and spacious Acad emy is not now occupied by experienced and qualified teachers at a time like this, when their services can bo so easily procured, and so much needed by our youth who have been deprived of tbe means of edu cation Tor tho past six years. While we are not igno rant of the fact that tills seat of learning is at present occupied by the military authorities, we feel hopeful that it will soon he turned over to the Tri stees, who should lose no time in securing a number of teachers capable of instructing in all the various branches of education, which would he a blessing to the commu nity, an ornament to our City, and a credit to the State. It Is desirable, and such wo believe to bo tbe Inten tion of all legislation upon the subject, that the bur thens incident to the operation of the State Govern ment should be distributed equally among Its citizens, that the few slronld Lot bo made to discharge the duties which belong to the many. Tbe justice of tho proposition requires no vindication, it is manifest to every one, besides tho duties will be more cheerfully, and necessarily, more effectually performed when the rule of equal burthens is regularly enforced. With this preface, we hope we shall rcoclve tho indulgence of his nonor In directing his attention to the Inequality named 111 which the duty as Grand Juries Is now dis tributed. Those that are drawn, and whose dnty It Is to serve for tbe term or time for which they are drawn, are very often a minority of the body, and their places have to be filled by Talesmen. The result is, that many of onr eltlzcns hnte to serve on the Jury many terms of the Court a* talesmen, and also the regular term for which they may be drawn This Is not (ust, and a remedy should bo applied to correct the evil. We are aware that the power is with the Court, and otir oordial approbation of his llouor's administration of tho laws makes this appeal the more pleasant, a* we trust at the same time ft vyili bo effective. Ia con nection with this eublccf we would recommend to tha Senator and Representatives from this District and Ceunty. to solicit the Legislature to change the time of bolding the Superior Court of Richmond County from the second Monday 1n October to tbe second Mon day in January; and from the second Monday in April to the second Monday in June. Thla change would work beneficially to merchants and planters— April and October being the busiest months with the latter, and absence from tho City with the former, being one of the causes of inequality in the discharge of Jury duty, of which we bare so much reason to complain. As many of the Countiesln this State have recom mended the total abolishment of the Cqnty Court, we deem It our duty, at least so far as this County is con cerned to urge Its continuance, being fully satisfied, from our own investigation of tbe subject,,that under the peculiar circumstances In which we arc placed, that it is highly beneficial to that class of parson* for whom it was oreated. We would, however, recorn mead that some modification be made In tho Law as to render Jury duty leee onerous and burdonsorae gp Tho condition of the eountry *0 far as relates to the Indebtedness of lta citizens, we do not oonsldei any of our prescribed duties to present. It is, however, a subject worthy the nutrition of all good citizens. We, therefore, venture to express onr opinion on that very perplexing subject, and we can In no way express our views better than to adopt the language and senti ments of that distinguished gentleman, Judge Ussss. We would, therefore, earnestly recommend the Press of Georgia to keep his address to tba Grand Jury of Baldwin County before the people. In our opinion, Judge Rrbsb has hit upon the very bent and most • honorable plan of settling flu- difficulty. It lathe unanimousopinion of this body, that those persons who are making attempts to excite our people to repudia tion are doing more to bring distress upon that class of citizens who arc so unfortunate as to bo in debt, than any other Influence now at w rk. The idea of repudiation makes creditors distrustful and Impatient fart the word repudiation be forever buried, and let It be the ea nest desire of each debtor to show by hi* good works that he is ready and wiling to do all In his power to satisfy the creditor, and wc have no doubt but success will be the.rpult 1* almost every instance. We desire in our preeejrlinents to call the sjHentiort of the proper authorities to tbe destitute poor of enr. country— both white and colored. We ask the early and prompt attention of those whose duty it is to see after them. The approaching winter and shortness of the crops wilt find them in a condition to require alt tbe assist ance that can be brouglu to bear in their behalt. We call the am nil on of tbe County and City officers to the reckless use of fire-arms, which lias be come a great and growing evil—particularly in the country, where, night and day, Sundays and werk davs, constant report*of guns are heard, greatly dis turbing the quiet and good order which ought to pre vail ; where, also, the lives of our c.tizens are endan gered. As the term for which His Honor, Judge Hook, w as elected is about to expire, we deem it our duty to ex pvem our Individual approbation of his course during the whole term, now about to close, and are gratified to observe that he has consented to a re-election to tire position he has tiller! with so much honor and ability. Our tlianks arc also due the Attorney General for his uniform courtesy as well as to the other gentlemen of the Bar, with whom we have had official inter course. JOSEPH C. FARGO, Foreman. Joseph M.
