GENERAL ASSEMBLY. The following is an abstract of such of the proceedings as we con cider interesting to our readers. senate. Mr. Polk, from the finance Committee, mule a report, staling that said committee find from a thorough exdtiiinHtitiii of the books and papers of the Treasury De partment, that all the requisitions of the act of 1827, have been com plied wiibj they further reported tbat they bad counted and burnt Treasury notes to the amount of me thousand three hundred and ixty-eiglit dollars and eleven ' enls, which they recommend he be allowed in the settlement of his iccotints. The report was con v .trred in and ordered to be irans itted to the Commons. Mr. Dockery presented a Pre amble and Resolution on the pro priety of establishing free schools, i. id directing the committee on the Surplus Revenue to enquire into the expediency of adding thousand dollars to the Literary Fund; and also of distributing the interest of said fund am ng the several counties of this State, ac cording lo their federal popula tion, for the purpose of educating its indigent youth. Referred to the Committee on the Surplus Revenue. Mr. Carson presented a memo rial from the Delegates to the In ternal Improvement Convention a? Kooxville from this Slate, pray ing that the Slate will aid in the construction of a Rail Road from Charleston to t .incitinati, and that Banking privileges be gran ted to said Company. Read and referred to the Committee on In ternal Improvement. Mr. Polk, from the joint com- miltee on public buildings, rep-.r i ted a bill making an appropria- lion of $75,000 to carry on the Capitol. The bill passed its first and second readings, and was or dered to lie on the table, on Air.

The general design and plan of the building is now settled, and drawings made out for the execu tion of the work. Accordingly, upon examination, it will be found, that the interior arrangement of its various apartments, with a view to lhe different objects of the building, are appropriate and har monious. On ihe principal floor U located all the rooms necessary for the accommodation of the Le gislature; in thp North end, the Senate chamber; in the South end, the ball of the House of Com mons, with suitable offices for their clerks; on each side of the passage ways, connecting the Porticos with the Rotunda, are the Committee moms. In the' Base ment, the Offices for the different departments of the Stale; on the upper floor, in the ICast and Vst centre projections, the Supreme Court and Library rooms; the for mer thus situated, will be remov ed from the bustle and intrusion, to w hich it would be exposed, if placed contiguous to the public Halls while the latter will be suita bly retired and w here a height of ceiling may be attained lo admit of the introduction of an order of Architecture, appropriate to the objects of these rooms. The great Stair-ways have prominent starting points, at the entrance of the Porticos in the Basement, and an easy and unin ten upted continuance to the apart ments and galleries above. The Board have spared no pains in settling (he plan of this ed'ilice in nil its parts, wilh the strictest regard to the principles of Architecture, and rules ol Ar chitectural taste. In accomplish ing this important object they have been guided by the highest professional skill, not even adop ting the design upon ihe recom mendation of Mr. Paton, our Su perinteudaiit alone (who has dis played unexampled skill in carry ing this work through nearly all of its most difficult and intricate parts of execution, with extraor dinary accuracy and precision,) but in accordance with his wishes il has been submitted to Archi tects of the first character, in the U. States, who have examined and giyeu their most decided ap proval and strongly recommended its adoption. When the building shall have been completed as contemplated, notwithstanding its cost will be great, yet taking into considera tion that the rock of which it is constructed, is out of the Stale' Quarry, and the facilities afforded in its transportation for the mag nitude of the work, the materials of which composed, and the stle of its execution, it will be one among the cheapest buildings of its character in the United Slates, and will perhaps present one a mong the finest specimens of clas sic taste in Architecture " RaUigh Register. Davie County. This is the name of a new Count y, just crea ted by the Legislature, and so called in honor of William R. Davie, a former distinguished citi zen of this Stale. The new coun ty is formed by bisecting old Rowan, which has been curtailed of its fair proportions, from lime to time, until but little of its an cient importance is left. ib. , , Revenue Laws.

Memminger, Esq. a member of theSouth Carolina Legislature' at present in this c,,y why1ftie has come, as the Agent cfit? Stockholders of the Louisville, Cincinnati and Charles ton Road, to obtain the concur rence of our General Assembly in the Acls amendatory of the Char ter of this Road. It will be seen that Col. Mem minger has been invited lo lake a seat within the bar of the Senate, and 10 address that body in expla nation of the objects of his mis sion. The principal object desired by the friends of this great enter prize, we belivfi, is lo obtain the assent of North Carolina to the Act, which has just passed the Le gislature of South Carolina, con ferring Banking privileges ou the Stockholders of the Rail Road Company. It is estimated that it will take 12 millions lo complete the Road, which sum it will im possible to raise, unless this Bank ing privilege is allowed; and the question arises, whether the wish es of those, interested in the road, shall be acceded to, or this im mense work be abandoned. ib. C7The Merchants Bank of Newbern has declared a Dividend of Profits of 4 per cent, for the last six months. ib. 0C?Mr. Outlaw, who has acted for about a year as associate Ed itor of the Star, has retired from that situation, to enter upon the duties of the appointment recently conferred upon him by ihe Legis lature. ib Rail Road to the West. Major M'xNeill, an Engineer of great skill, and a native son of North Carolina, has been employed to superintend the operations con nected with the contemplated Road to Fayeiteville from the Narrows of the Ya-Miin. We are informed that two parties, beaded by .Messrs. Beimel and Cunning ham, are forthwith to commence the Experimental Surveys, under the immediate direction of Mr. W. M. Cushman, Civil Engi neer. Starling from the Nar rows, after examining the various routes, which may be run in that quarter, they will proceed lo Fay etteville. ib. Surplus Revenue. It is expec ted that a Report will be made to-day, from ihe Committee of lenty-six, recommending what disposition shall be made of North i arolina's share of the Smpltis Revenue. We learn that the Committee will suggest the pro priety of investing one-half of the fund in the Stocks of the Bank of lhe Stale and ihe Cape Fear Bank the dividends accruing there from to go to the Literary Fund, and to be applied to the establish ment of Common Schools. The Committee will recommend that the remaining half be loaned out to Rail Road Companies, &c. on such terms as the Legislature may prescribe, for which purpose the 1 establishment of a Loan Office! will be necessary.

From the prisoners picked up bv Gen. .Tesup io bis march from Tampa Bay to Volti- sia, it appears that Powell, with ..uly ISO warriors remain in the fastness of the Wahoo Swamp, the remainder having parted com pany with him and taken a south erly route, under the other chiefs, who are said to be pacifically dis posed. Powell, the prisoners say, is determined to stand bis ground and sell bis life dearly. He is advantageously posted, and even with his handful of followers may give our army often limes his number, much trouble to sub due him.

He moved to refer the bill to a Select Committee. Mr. Walker objec ted to this, and proposed to refer il to the Committee of Finance. Alter considerable debate, the lat ter vote prevailed by the casting vote of the Vice 'President. A proposition is before the House to inquire into the expedi ency of reducing the duty on for eig grain, or bread uff. of all kinds, salt, iron, sugar and coal.
