Yesterday for the first time. we received com pere list of the captions of the acts passed at the re- cent session of the leg gslatme. portion Of them, embracing those of public and such private ones as are of interest in this section of the State, will be found in to-da,'s paper /
 The Flag of the Union, in summing up the busis ness and results of the session, says:
 The general laws passed are but few in number, but they are important in Ihcir character, and are such we have no doubt as will find favor with the people. The bank bill, 10 be found m another co-
 us, beats but little resemblance to the 0rigina bill reporIel from the bank committee. great di- ofOpinion existed in the legislature, to the easiest nId besi mode of hQuldating, finally, te affairs ol Ihe bank aRd hs b a s66eess, ii n,ar .s r-i of the State.

Un. der Ihis act Sl00 ,000 in Alabama Bank notes W ill be issued; this amount received at the General Land office, in payment for government lands in East A labama The remaining portion of the fund is on deposit in New Yoik.
 The only measures of general interest introduced, which have not been successful, in form or oth. CT. are tbe tay bill reported by the committee of ways and means; and the substitute offered by Mir. Phillips providing for the addition of 25 per
 he present tax bill These propositions failed for tha inn thufa a uatl pf.h vie ed in the egislature that they absolutely cessary. The bill from the committee of ways and
 means was estimated to raise 5 500 000 The propo- siton of Mr. Phillips would have brought s400 900
 into the Treasury The means to pay the interest on
 he State debt due to the lst January lS46, inclu- sive having been provided and the present revenue bill heinz amply sufficient to meet every possible contingency, it would not have been either prudent or wise 10 have increased the borlhens which our Ieople compelled 10 bear. Al the next session il will be necessary perhaps to increase the iaxes; but for the present the egisature did well in refusing do 90.
 We published few days ago call for a Conven ton of the planters be held at Montgomery on the third Monday of this month, preparatory to one to be holden in this city on the fourth Monday. The objecl stated in the call is, if practicable, 10 consummate an arrangement with the planters of the Southern States which will diminish the cultivation of cotton, and consequently improve the price. We are pleased to this move, and hope the Conven. ton will be numerously attended-not that we ina. zine any general measure will be adopted and acted upon, lessening the amount of the production of the staple; but we think the bringing together of large a number of planters as will probably attend, with common object connected with agriculture, may be viewed starting point and ultimately lead 10 im- portaat and desirable changes in the industrial pur. suits of our people. Alabama is peculiarly favored
 in facilities of iRtercommunicaIion and in great d- versty of soil and climate: thus enabling those who engaged in the ennoblng pursuits of agrcu ture to produce in abundance all that can contribute to the,r comfort and luxury. and 10 find market easy of access for all their surplus productions. But as the cultivation of has been the leading object of all classes, but slow progress has been made in other branches, which equally contribute the wealth and consequence of communities. It IS conceded by planters themselves that the cultivation of cotton en- crosses too much of their attention, and many of them aware of the importance of giving more diversity tn their pursuits But they and their negroes have ony been accustomed to raising cotton, land they naturally feel hesitancy. almost amounting to Gea, to commence system of which they are compara. lively ignorant. All that is wanting is a uovenent and few ndomltable pioneers to give direction.
 Experiments have proven that large portion of the State, as low g degrees, is capable of producing good wheat; and general thing. a sui fciency could be raised by most planters for home use. Other small grain have been found to succeed equally well. As to corn, potatoes. peas and pom pions, they grow we'll every where and every body understands their culture. Stock raising 100, has been found profitable wherever undertaken. From these facts it is evident then if the proper aten, ion were paid, that large aggregate amount of outgo. ings at least could be stopped. In pursuing this course, a new system Of domestic economy would gradually introduce itself, which, in time, would doubtless lead to other objects of cuIlure-some of the grasses, the grape, silk, sheep raising, more pains with fruIts &c. &c. Such system as this, most surely. would bring more comfo,t more refine. nent, and ~itha greater wealth. All this would cer- lainly lead to d more scientific mode of culture - good soils would be preserved and worn out ones re- newed.
 In yIew then, of these matiers, we hope the Con- venton will assemble; and if il does, we shall date from thence new era in ihe agricultural history of Alabama.
