Accordingly at the ses sions of the GeneraOtsseuiklyof the Prov ince pf North Carolina, begun and held at Newborn. March 27th. 175:3, an act was pass ed establishing the county -of Rowan. Gov ernor Gabriel Johnnton, after a long and prosperous term of orHce, had died in Au gust 1752, and the duties of.tha office de volved upon Nathaniel Rice, tirst counsellor of the King's Commission. But President Rice lived only nntil January 1733, and at his death the Hon. 'Matthew Rowan; the next Counsellor in order, qualified as Presi dent, in Wilmington on the first of Felru ary 1753. 'As he was now President of the Council,: and acting governor, the new coun ty, formed during his administration was called after his name. The act of the assem bly establishing the county, is as follows, in part ; "That Ajjson. county be devided by a line, to begin .where, it he) Anson line was to cross Ear I Granville's (line.) and 'from thence in a direct line north to the Virginia line, and that the said county be lounded on the north by the Virginia line, and to the south by the southernmost line of Earl Gran ville's: And that the upper; part of said county so divided be erected into a County and Parish by the name of Rowan Connty ami St. Cuke 8 Parish, and that all the-in-habitanfttfthc, westward of said line, and ineludcH-within the before mentioned boun daries shall belong and appertain to Rowan County (Iredell's Laws of N C. Ed. 1791. p. 154 To get an idea of these extensive boundaries,' we hare only to remember that in 174&,,Anson was cut off from Bladen by a line starting where the westernmost branch of Little Pee Dee enters South Carolina, thence up to the headwaters of Drowning Creek and so on by a line equidistant from Great Pee -Dec and Saxapahaw. All west of this somewhat indeterminate line was Anson County. The design in 1753 was to include in. Rowan all that part of Anson, which 'waf comprised in Earl Granville's lands, that hvaH north; of latitude 35 34." as far as to the Virginia Hue. The "point" where Anson line was to cut Earl Granville's line, as well as can be determined by the writer, must have been somewhere near the southeastern corner of the present Connty of Randolph, not far, from tl point where Deep River .passes from Randolph into Moore County. '' The eastern line of Rowan, if this be correct, would run due north from that pofct, along the eastern boundaries of the presenj Randolph, Guilford and Rock-ingham-conntics. The southern boundary, beginning at : the southeast corner of Ran dolph ran due west along Earl Granvilles south line, On the south side :;of "Randolph, Davidson, Rowan and Iredell, as they now lie, (lat. 31, 34"), to the Catawba River, a short distance" above Beattie's Ford, thence due west, cutting intw Lincoln county, fand tunninif a few miles 'north Of Lincoluton, through Cleaveland and Rutherford. through Hickory Nut Gap. and on through Bun combe, Haywood, Jackson, Macon and Cher okee, and oa to the Westward indefinitely. Old'Rowan included in its ainpH doriyafn tho territory occupied to l.iy by thirty coun ties, and parts of eourties, in North Caro lina, I Mfsiiles the iiidetinite and iKiexjilortd regions of the west, as far as the soul h -sea?, embracing the western section 7f Granvil'eV vast inheritance. It is true indeed, thattiie region beyond tho Mountains, in the ear'v davs was unknown, and in the farther west was the French Territory of Louisiana, th it practicably cut down these gigantic propor tions. But theoretically and according to theCharter, such was 'ts vast -erntory. It may not be' amiss to recall to the mind of the student of North Carolina history, that Charles IL 9K JEnland, in the fifteenth year of his reign, granted to i the- Earl of Clarendon, the Duke of Albemarle, the Earl of Craven, Lord Berkley, Lord Ashley, Sir George Cartaret, nd.wr.7ohnlIeton,the whole territorv of "Amerirar lying tjtween latitude -lcf sq0 31". northSnd extenling f(6nHthiB Afhjistic OceaO to te South Seasor Pacific Ocea 1. After making the experiment of a Proprietary government 4 tor moruf than a hatt-cenur undcrthe Tamous const uuii on oi ;L.ote ana onaits liry, and otherwise,, seven irT these Lords Proprietors, surrendered tlicir interest in the Caroliuatb the Crown, in the 3dtyear of i George tlte second (1720,) for the smu of 2500 pounds eaeh as state4 in a previous article. Bub John, Earl of Granville, Inrd Cartaret and Baron of IIawnes, ashe is styl ed, the son and heirpf Sir George Cartaret, declined to surrender his eighth partef the land, preferring to dispose of it to the set tlers by means if special -agents,- "In -1743, his eighth part was set .off to him, and was situated between latitude 35 84" and the Virginia line. His southern line began on the Atlantic ' Ocean near Cape Hatteras. crossed Pamlico Sound, passed on west not far from Washington, across the counties of Beaufort, Pitt, Greene, Wayne and Johnston, on the north side of Moore, and so oa west ward along the line indicated as the south fine of . Row an county. Granville does not appear to have exercised any authority over the people in his lands, nor any control in the enactment or execution of the laws. He was simply, n . mighty land-owner witb'a vast body of desirable land to sell to the best aJvantage. After 1743 all grants and sales of lands were made in his' name.'- The cu rious inquirer may look into the office of our Register of Deeds, in the Tourt House, in Salisbury," and see volumes upon volumes of old land deeds, reciting over and over again the titles and dignities of Earl Gran ville, conveying lands to the Allisons, An drews, Brandons, Grahams, Lockes, Ncsbits, etc. etc., and signed by his Lordship's Attor neys, and agents, Francis Corbin and James Innes, or by sub-agents, vilham Churton and Richard Vhjers. It appecrs thsj; the General Assembly of North par.oljna, at this early day began to exercise 'more power than was cntirelv agree able to the royal government in Englamr, and by the multiplication of counties the as sembly was increased in numbers too rapid ly. Hence the policy of repression, was ear ly adopted. In 1754, the year after the erec tion of Rowan countv, Kim? George the Second, in privy council, revoked the acts of iio,i, esiauusuing nowan, tumuenanu ana lyrange counties But upon a more thorough unuerstanning ot the subject, he was pleas ed, the next year, to allow the said counties to be re-established, and the Assembly,' at its sessions in 173G, did re-cstabliElr;:these counties, and validated all deeds and con veyances that had been made during the period of the royal revocation. It appears ncrbreak in the courts of Rowan countv. that the disapprobation of the king made tor the Kccord shows that they went on precisely As they would have gone on . had the king fiilly approved. So far away were they from, the Court of England, and so full of the, spirit of independence, that they were ready to practice, if not to assert, the inherent right of self-government. Thecounty having been established in March " 1753, in June of the same year the jCourt of Pleas and Quarter Sessions met somewhere in the county and proceed- ed to their., work But here, the first court w held, the writer has not been able to determine. There are Beveral vague tra ditions and recollections that point to differ ent times and - places; .nd with the hope that iovae one will be abl to probe this matter to the - bottom,' these traditions are givenr r ?fnK-t2 l& Vsr . IT There" is a vague impression floating in certain legal circles here, thatan old "Dock et" his been seen in our Court house, dating back a number of years before the establish ment jofj the county. If this be so there must haV been . kiadj of itinerant, or circuit 3ort, held at occasional times bn the fron eri.

Goldsboro Messenger. A Daukkv Pkeohf.r's Discourse. The colored divines have oftentimes very foicible ways of expressing to their hear- rers the truths which they desire to make knownV A few days ago a colored minis ter of this city preached a j stirring ser mon upon faith knd unbelief, j He dis cussed the subject, looking uT it from every poiut of view, and concluded with an illustration whose aptness is unques tionable. He compared the j Christian to a measuring worm, saying: !"De measur ing worm he creep along slow, an slow; before he make a step he raise his head and look all 'round him, to see if dere is any trouble ahead ; now, dis worm is like dc Christian, who always looks ahead to see if he is doing wiroug and to be shore that he'is gwiue right..- De sinner is like de hopper-grass he goes w(d a hop, skip and a jninp, rigljt ahead, not a cariug w a kuowng alwm anything, and de fust thing he knows he lands right hi'torment!"
