As Rowan has her County Court tlus week we hope our friends there will lead oli’ in the appointment of Delegates, to be succeeded by the other counties, in all of which there is a county or Superior court previous to the day above proposed for the meeting of the Convention. We sug gest that each county shall send to the convention as many Delegates a.s they have members of the Assembly, It is not known, w'e believe, whether our present popular and worthy representative, Mr. Caldwell, is desirous of be ing a candidate again or not;—but if he can be prevailed upon to enter another canvass, w’e have no doubt ho wdl receive tho unanimous nomination of the proposed Convention, Who ever may be our candidate, if properly selected, we have no doubt of his success by at least 500 votes; though from the sizt3 of the District, and the necessity, from its being a new one, of canvassing it thoroughly, the contest will be an arduous and spirited one. O’ The legislature adjournod on Saturday morning, the 23th ult., and the members from this county reached home on the 2d instant. To ihcm we are indebted for the Captions of the acts which will be found in our columns to-day. Al though the session was a long one, yet by retcr«'ncc to the Caption.**, it will bo seen a great deal has been done. They passed 53 public lawi ; 146 private acts, and 55 Resolut.ons— many of them of an important character, anl in their ni?-tu- ring, requiring much labor, discussion and time for rdloction. Among the Resolutions passed, are the cjtcellent Instruction Resolutions of Mr. Jones of Orange, to our Senators in Con gress. They will be found on our fourth page. The Whigs in the legislature struggled hard to dLf^ai their passage, and consumed a great deal of time in unnccosaary debate ; but if they have the effect to drive Mr. Mungum from his seat in the Senate, or lead him to change his course, so as to correct ly represent his constituents on the great questions touched in the Resolutions, tho people ol the State will be amply re warded for the tiino and treasure spent in their passage. In deed, we think the legislature would hive oniitted ono of its main duties if it had tailed to pass th.>.s?, or similar Resolutions. Three new counties were m.ide in this part of the State— Union, Catawba, and McDowell, and a suppkmcntal bill for each passed for their organization. When the election is to take place for County ofiicers we have not yet learned. the Judge, shall he ninety dollars for holding saiil court.

There is not now an incorporated Bank in Missis sippi, and consequcnily, the currcncy is ahmst ex clusively composed of the precious metals; and in stead of this state of things reducing the price of property, as the Federalists contend is its inevitable itndency, the ])rice has greatly advanced in the past six months. Oar informant says collon is woilh considerably more in specie in Mississippi, than it w'ill bring in the adjoining Slate of Alabama in her paptr currency, which is at 20 per cent, discount! —and that negro men in ^Mississippi will bring on the block from 8750 to 8300. in specie, while in Alabama, they will not bring more than about 8600, in iheir depreciated paper.

'The Amende I—In publishing, a few weeks since, the me morial presented to the legislature by a committee of the Mecklenburg Monumertt Association, we stated that we sup posed it to have been drawn up by Gov. Swain or Gen. Iredell. We since learn from the proper source, that it w'as penned by Col. Wheeler, vha present State Treasurer ; and we hasten to make the proper correction of our former remarks. The Ekiitor of the Asheville Mjsscng&r, in his last paper, publishes what purports to be an extract from files' liegister of 1815, in which it is stated that the fine imposed on Gen. Jackson at New-Orleans by Judge Hall, was paid by the citi zens of that city, and not by the gallant General.
