We believe that by putting ir. the iron cages as recommended, the jail can be made absolutely safe, and that the escape of prisoners can be prevented in the future. The brick walls that surround the rooms or cells now occupied by prisoners -need not be disturbed, but will be found well adapted, we ‘.bink, to all the essentials of the iron cages. Wo also find the steps of the jail building in a bad condition, and wonld recommend that they be re paired at once. The poor house buildings are in good condition, except that the windows are ont of order. We wonld suggest that the sbntters be supplied with fastenings, and that stops be put in to make the sash more secure. This is a matter that should receive immediate attention, as cold weather has already set in, and some of tbe sashes are now out of place. We wonld recommend that more shelves be put up in the vault that bolds the books of the county, and that a sky-light be made in the outer wall of the Court House so as to supply this vault with light. We wonld also recommend that a ven tilator be made to the vault. This we think absolutely necessary to make tbe vault such an one as the county needs to keep its books and papers in good preservation. The floor of the vault should also be ce mented over again. ROADS AND BRIDGES. The roads and bridges of the county are, generally speaking, in a good condition. We find, however, that the Jordan Ford causeway is very much in need of repairs. We therefore respectfully call the atten tion Of the Commitsioners to it, and recommend that thev give it their immediate attention. The bridges in the western portion of the county are also in a bad condi tion. We learn that contracts have been entered into have them repair ed, and would earnestly lecoinmend that the Commissioners see to it tiiat the work is done without further delay. We also find that a number of panels of the railingof the bridge across Pinewoods creek, in the eastern portion of the eounty, are out of place, and would recommend that tbe same be attended to and the bridge made safe ns soon as practicable. The abutments of the bridge across Kinchafoonee creek are also in bad condition, and we recommend that the Road Commis sioners have them repaired at once. Before dismissing the subject of public roads, we desire to cal) at tention to a matter that is of great importance to tbe people of Ltougb- erty county. There are several plantations in the county upon which convict labor alone is em ployed. These plantations make tbe same free use of the public roads in transporting their supplies and marketing their crops that oilier plantations in tbe county do, but contribute nothing towards keeping up these roads. Thus, in neighborhoods where so large a proportion of the working popula tion is exempted from road duty, the duty of keeping up the roads necessarily, but unjustly, devolves upon a few planters and laborers who happen to be located around such plantations. In order to equaliz; tbe road duty of the comi ty, therefore, we recommend that our Senator aud Representatives iu the Legislature use their endeavors to procure the passage of an act Septctnbr 13. To John A. Davis— “. government of Ids country accord ing to Ids possessions, as required by law. Such a state of facts as we find in looking over the returns that have been made of the taxable property of the county we deem It not only our duty to denounce, but our sworn duty, as Grand Jurors, to rectify, as l«r as in our power lies. Many laud owners, wo find, have returned their lands and the im provements thereon for about one half their market value, and when wc come to examine the returns made of merchandise, household and kitchen furniture, etc., tbe evil in question becomes evett more glaring. Wc find, for instnnre, that, according to the returns made to the Tax Receiver, (lie total valua meat of the present incumbents iu fc tion of all the merchandise in the the other Districts iu case their terms of office have expired. TREASURER. Wc find lite books of the County Treasurer kept in a neat and busi ness-like manlier, reflecting credit upon that officer, each fuud receiv ing tbe proper credits nnd debits. In our opinion tho system adopted by the Treasurer is perfect in every detail, being simplified so as to show at a glance the receipts and disbursements on each account. We here incorporate his report of the business ofjiis office since the April term of the Superior Court, as submitted to our body by bim: treasurer’s report: Albany, Ga., Oct. 4th, 1830. Jfr.

Ev ery business man in tbe city must ad mit that the real cost value of all the merchandise iu Albany is more than double this amount even in tbe -month of April, when there arc not such large stocks of goods on hand as are kept during the fail season. The same deplorable state of facts that is revealed ip regard to the valuation of merchandise we also find existing as to tho returns made of money, notes and accounts, only about $311,000 being returned in the entire county. In accordance with what we deem to be our duty un der the law and under our oaths as Grand Jurors, we have made out a list of such property as we think has been undervalued, and raised the valuation to such atnountsns wc believe just and fair. This list we have turned over to the Tax Re ceiver with instruction to alter and amend bis books to conform thereto. In mnking out the list just referred to we have endeavored to do even justice to all, and to equalize the valuation of the property of each district.

After n careful examination of the books of the Tax Receiver, we find that a great many of the tax payers of the county have returned their property below a proper valuation. The extent to which wc find the practice of under-valuing property for taxation is being car ried on is, wo regret to say, simply outrageous. It presents, in fact, the most painful and deplorable state of facta that we have found iu all our investigations as Grand Jurors into the various affairs of our county,nnd deserves something more than casual mention at our hands. Tho law protects prop erty, aud every property owner should, in return, when giving in his property for taxation, place a fair am] honorable valuation upon it in order to con tribute all that is justly due by him to the revenue of bis State and county government. He is sworn to do it wlieii he makes return of his taxable properly, and lie who re turns hi* property at less Ilian it is worth is a perjurer. He not only perjures himself, but increases the burden of taxation upon bis more honorable fellow-citizen who com plies with his oath and willingly contributes to the support of the We have examined, through a committee appointed for that pur pose, the County Poor House. We find thirteen inmates, eleven whites, (all women and children), nnd two colored men, both of the latter be ing blind. Tbe premises arc clean, nud the rooms large and comforta ble.

Wc recom mend tiiat the County Commissi >n- ers have the houses on the premises enclosed by u substantial fence, so that the inmates can have yards and gardens. penitentiary convicts. The Foreman, in accordance with law, appointed a penitentiary committee, composed of three from our body and three citizens, to make a thorough investigation of the con vict camps in this county, and re port upon tbe same, which duty was only discharged by the three members of our body, the three cit izens failing to serve, and which re port is in substance as follows: Wc have visited and inspected each penitentiary convict camp in our eounty, and Imre carefully looked into the workings, system, treatment of prisoners and every thing connected with the subject, as given us in charge. Our commit tee conversed with most of Hie pris oners iiiiiI invited or requested them to make any complaints that they might have as to the manner iu which they were being trim toil. Without exception they expressed themselves as satisfied anil content ed with their treatment. They nre supplied with an abundance of wholesome food, arc comfortably clad, arc not required to do more than a good day’s work, and have comfortable sleeping accommoda tion. The promises and buildings are models of neutiicss and order. Tl.c prisons proper arc kept in u state of perfect security, nnd an am ple number of guards arc employed to prevent the escape of prisoners whilst at work. We find bul one case of sickness among all the pris oners at tbe various camps, nud all the others looking healthy, vigor ous and strong.

If a man bo gracious ami courts ous to strangers it shows that ho is it cilizcu of the world. tempting to end her life, as detailed below. The Mews tells the sad story us follows: Yesterday morning a report was current that a young lady, stopping at the Planters Hotel in this city, Imu in a moment of desperation and ties pair, attempted to end her exist ence by drinking laudanum, aud that her life had only been saved after Hie most strenuous exertions. Upon inquiry and investigation the following facts were learned in re gard to the case, which is one of the saddest that lias ever come within our knowledge, and is based upon information derived from the young lady herself, at whose urgent re quest wc suppress names. Some ten months ago a neighboring town was disturbed by tiie scandal aris ing from the report that a young man had brought a young Indy to that place ostensibly to attend the bull and liadjaftcrwards carried her to a hotel, where he ^registered as man and wife, tbe couple occupyiug the same apai'tinen', and it being bruited about Jthat they were not married, considerable excitement was crented, and under duress the young man subsequently scoured a Methodist minister, and the prop er ceremony wns performed, he acknowledging the young lady as Ids wife and promising to do what was right and proper. The scandal soon passed out of general remein- berancc, and nothing further was heard of it. It seems, though, that the parties did not live together re gularly, the young husband making excuse* that *his family objected to the union, and about four months ngo he carried his young wife, who is but a mere child, being, accord ing to her own statement, only fif teen years of age, to Charleston, where he endeavored to get tier in a convent. Failing iu this, he se cured board for her in a second- class boarding house,, telling the landlady that the girl was bis sister, and making arrangements for her board. He then loft the city, aud she remained there until about two weeks since, when her fricndless- ncss becoming unbearable, she left Charleston and came to Savannah and stopped nt the Marshal House, where she wrote her husband and begged him to come for her. Short ly after her arrival she was taken sick with the broken-boue fever and was confined to her room until within a few days past, when she received a letter from her husband directing her to go to Boston and endeavor to make a living for her self, and enclosing Hie money to pay her passage, stating that it was impossible for him to lake care of her now and it was better for her to go off. The poor girl was in despair and determined to change her quarters, and accordingly, on Tuesday afternoon, went to tiie Planters Hotel, where she secured n comfortable room, having previous ly made arrangements to have a ticket purchased for New York by steamer. After securing her room she left the hotel mid proceeded to the drug store of Mr. G. D. Heidt, where it seems she purchased a vial containing nn ounce and a half of laudanum. She then returned to the hotel, nnd, nsking to sec the clerk, requested that she bo not dis turbed until morning, as she wns very tired, and wanted rest for her journey to New York. Slio then re tired. About ail hour afterwards Hie hnrkmnn who had brought her to tho Planters made his appear ance and informed tho proprietor, Mr. Jos. II. Ilci'slibacli, tiiat lie lmd a ticket for Hie young lady, and de sired to see her. Mr. Ilerschbnch informed him of the young Indy’s request not to be disturbed, and stated be would see Hint she got the ticket in Hie morning in time. The Inn Unun was persistent, and finally stated Ids belief that the young Indy intended ending her life, ns she ap peared to be very miserable. This alarmed Mr. Herselibneli, who nt once hastened to her room nnd knocked nt the door, but received uo respouso. He then entered the room and saw the vounglady laying on the bed dressed, blit with her hat off, and attempted to arouse her, when he discover ed she was unconscious. He then summoned his wife, nnd on exami nation it was found that Hie nnfor- tuim to young woman was under the influence ot some drug. An empty vial, labeled laudanum, wns found oil n table near the bed, and M r. Herselibneli, seeing the name of the druggist on it, ut once went to the store of MivHcidt, and found that it lmd been purchased there a few hours before, and had contained an ounce and a half of the fluid. Per ceiving that prompt measures were necessary to save tier life, lie bad a powerful emetic prepared, and, lifting tbe unconscious girl from the bed, gave her a dose, and then com menced to walk her rapidly up ami down tbe hall. After hard labor she was partially restored, a mes senger meauwhile having been dis patched for a physician, aud Dr. J. I). Martin shortly arrived. Bv con stant working until "after daylight the young lady was restored to consciousness, but in a very weak state, and had not entirely recover ed from the effects of the powerful dose up to a late hour last night, though she was enabled to converse and give a connected account of her troubles, .which, considering her extreme youth, are sufficient to unsettle her mind. She regretted that tho poison had not taken effect, us she said she had nothing to live for, that the man in whom she had trusted wanted to ubaudon her; that she did not know where her mother, who was greatly distressed by her unfortunate alliance, had gone, and that she felt uttely friend less and alone. She spoke, howev er, in the highest terms of the great kindness and attention she had re ceived from Mr. Ilerschbach and wife, but for whose exertions she undoubtedly would have been a corpse. Previous to taking the laud anum she had commenced a note to her mother running thus: “Mother, your baby is dying. She has had so mnc':i misery that she is heartsick and wenry, but to-night will end it all.” The note was not finished aud had no signature. As stated, the young wife is but a cnild in age, experience and ap pearance, and her sad condition has excited Hie liveliest sympathy. Mr. Herschbach has very'kiudly offered her a home at his hotel until some, thing can be done for her, and sev* oral gentlemen who have heard of her distressed situation have inter ested themselves in her behalf, and will endeavor to have some of onr good ladies devise means to secure her n comfortable home. It would seem from her statement that there was a determination on the part of her husband to throw her upon the world on her own resources, and if such is tbe case no words are ade quate to express condemnation of his course. The story of Iter sad young life has excited indignation among those to whom it has been made known, and evoked the kind est feeling for tier.

JOINED I. J. BRINSON, Contractor & Builder AND DEALER IN ti Sava Your Rags. New Orleans rimes. The people of this city are not economical. It is doubtful if they know what economy is. When they have money they spend it free ly, and pride themselves on the fact that they are not stingy or mean in money matters. This sort of pride is well enough for people who have plenty, but it would be better, even for them, to be less wasteful and extravagant. Poor people, how ever, whose incomes arc barely sufficient to support their wants, even in their station in life, ought to form and cultivate thrifty and economical habits. They ought to learn to be saving and to make every cent go as fur as possible. There is no other sure way to get on in the world. We are led to make these remarks by the state ment that a surprisingly small amount of rags is obtained in this city. In Northern and Western cities, which have a much smaller population than this, four or live times the amount of rags is obtain ed. Tbe reason is that the rags are saved there. In nearly every household a rag-bag is kept, into which every scrap of rags is put The rags thus collected, are either carried to a store and traded off, or sold to a rag-gatherer who calls at the houses every month or two. The price of paper is high and rags are, therefore valuable. It is as tonishing to those who have never troubled themselves about saving their rags bow much money can be obtained in this way in the course of a year. It is sufficient to assist materially in meeting the expenses of a family. In the North this rag- saving economy is practiced, not only in the cities, bul also in the country. The wives of farmers are very careful to save everything in the way of rags, and they find that their thrift in this direction pays them. We don’t know what be comes of a large portion of tbe rags in this city. It is said that in very many households they arc burnt. They are certainly destroy ed in some* way for a very smiill amount of them find their way into market. If is safe to say that if every family in this city would carefully save their rugs the money arising from this source would, every year, amount to many thous and dollars.
