The KxMkrn Meet Aaraln on the Old (mnp UrouDtl and Ke-enaet the Old IMay. The action of the t wt Seakem on the unsigned S. Ihk1 P. ill has leen a source of much remark since the late General Assembly concluded its lalmrs. The public are aware of the fact that Speakers Kobinson and Moriiiir came to Raleigh from their homes a few weeks alter the adjourn ment to confer as to whether it was proper to sign the bill and make it a law , or let it po by default. They de cided not to sign it and returned home again with a vague; idea in the public mind, something about it being DA Sfl KUOt'S TO SKT A TRKCKntNT, it in I the consequent resjionsihility. The eiiergeticSuperintetitlent of Public Instruction was not like minded and brought to bear on th'ia jniint the opin ion or the Attorney General, w ho held that the Shakers should sign. His opinion was published in the News ami hail a gtsnl many citations from loading authorities, and altogether gave general satisfaction. Actin upon ad vice so authentic, the Sujerintendent of Public Instruction indited an episto lary corresiHimlence to Messrs. Konin tton ami Mormg and solicited a recoil -siiluratioii of their action in the matter. A resKiise was had that they would do so and for that purpose would meet in Italeigh about the middle of May. Mr. Muring was in the city alsmt tin ee w eeks since and had a talk w ith Mr. Sc rboio. the Superintendent of Public Instruction, ami said to him THAT UK WAS nolNO To stuN T UK Hll.h; that he had received a letter from Mr. Kobinson. and that he won hi Ih down about the l."th of May and they would attach their .signatures to the Hill. There wasn't a shadow ofadoubtalKiut it. Mr. Scarlxiro might say to Secretary Saunders that he might have the bill printed and incorporated in the I-iws of 17!'. Mr. Scarlsiro was satisfied. The Hill was given to the Public Printer and the types set up all ready lor the word to print. Things w ent on about :is usual until yesterday, w hen the tw o Speakers had met in this city to finally 1 lis pose of I lie matter, that is, to "amicably adjust' the w hole thing. A conference was had in the Supreme Court riMiin, and after looking through several books, they made up their minds, and the decision was that they had HKl 1 Kll NOT SK.N TIIK 1111.1.. A number of publishing houses, as well as the uneducated masses of North Carolina, were interested in the final disposition of this matter, and sotlie of th. 'in were even represented by attor neys, and of course the law yers had to gei at bottom facts; so a little social meeting was arranged in the capitol, ami the speakers were invited to dis burden themselves and let it all out. Mr. Moring frank I v said he was in fa vor of signing the "bill at one time, but since he came to Italeigh iod ,t to looking around HV. IIA1 CIIANUKI' HIS MIND, and he did not now think thev ought to sign it. it was a matter thai ought to ot-rupv the attention of the Supreme Court," where he w "ished the responsi bility to rest. Mr. Kobinson did not say whether he did or did not w isli to sign th hill, but he asked Col. Saunders, the Secretary of State, if his signature alone would make the bill a law or do any good. Col. Saunders promptly said no. w -hereupon Mr. Kobinson said there was no use for him to sign it then. Mr. Scarbuo tlid not meet-Mr. Mo ring until a later hour. Their meeting w ls not tender nor was it tough, it was about so so. Mr. Moring said he understood he - Mr. S.i WAS MAP Willi MIM. Mr. Scar ho ro said he couldn't exactly say he w is mad with him, but he was i c'rv much iiisapKinted and. really, verv nervous aUdit the matter; that Mr." Moring had so positively assured him that he would sign the bill, that he must confess he was not prepared to learn the result w ithout feeling very til 11 All III t fr f 1 1 time beii.tr. at least. II afcjn- - - - - - r ' ' Mr. Moring alluded to his conscience; that he had changed his mind, and lie had a right to do this. Mr. Scarboro was disarmed at once, and, of course, much relieved. The Speakers left yesterday afternoon, ami Mr. Moring sent word to Mr. Scar Uro that he could be reached at Dur ham, if he desired to serve papers on him, ami that he would facilitate any writs thnt might be so served. Mr. Scjirlsjro is very much exercised alsmt the matter, lie wishes to see the "liM-al taxation' provisions in the bill carried out, us it w ill do much to build up the cause of public education in this Slate. Col. Kenan was called on and was so busily engaged finishing up the N. C. Kcports that the rejMirter could not draw him out much. He had given his opinion to Mr. Scarboro; it was pub lished in the Nkws, and ho always stood bv the roeord. It is not known w hether further ac tion will be taken or not. nrrvwAYo s idea or iif.i.i.. A .llslii"3r Normon "d II Effect UeiDolh.il Illicit the Christian" liell tire. All enterprising reporter of the Uiten hage Vizic has interviewed a blood thirsty Zulu, who told the following le marklible and amusing story: Some years since a missionary went to King Cetywayo's kraal with a view of converting him and his people to Christianity. He stayed there a few days, and the King agreed to hear him on'the follow ing Sunday. The Sunday mid the Kimr gathered his peo- nle together and also called up two or ...I... his linesi rciuienih i uu;n w iu mw sai;e hiiii been brought to him from the The missionary, being nimv ........

He accepted the invitation, but during the dinner noticed the people running about in all directions collecting waod, whieh-thev were piling "P one spot. The missionary began to feel queer; he thought it looked onunous ; and the Zulu w ho told the story said he noticed, that he did not eat any more, butBpu tinued to take large draughts of milk, as if to cool himself. ! At length the dinner was over; but, before rising, the King turned sharply round to the now affrighted missionary, and said: " What was that voti said this morning about putting the" great Zulu people in a great fire after they were dead ? Come this way, and I will'show you what the Zulus are; you don't know them, lean see." He took him to the pile of wood, which had by this time reached tre mendous proiKirtious as big as a Bay store, the Zulu said and it set tire to all around. When it was properly In a blaze, and gave out so much heat that no one could come near it, the King summoned the two regiments who had listened to the sermon, and ordered them to charge into the burning pile and extinguish it. Naked as they wre without shoes or any covering at all thev rushed into the burning mass like madmen, raving and yelling, and did :ot stop till hardly a vestige of the lire reinaiiiixl. The King then said to: the missionary. "You ha v-' seen "That. That is what we will do with your hell. Tho Zulu won't play with your tires, and von had better elear out of this country at once, or I will have a 4 little lire' made for you to put out." The missionary took the hint, and left the kraal the same evening. Is it any won der, ask people, after this, that (iatling guns ami rocket batteries have no ter ror for the Zulu? and it is certain they have none. The Zulus, when ordered to attack, attack ; and though they may be mown down by thousands, still come on, until they conquer or die. It is a tradition among them, which Lord Chelmsford would do well to take into consideration in his future movements in Zululand. A Rear and Curious Fish. Wilmington Star, isth. We had brought to this office, last r.lrht, a very curious specimen of a fish, which was caught on Topsail Sound, by Mr. S. J. Sneeden, yesterday morning. Mr. Sneeden left the fish on exhibition at Huggiif sstore during the day, w hero it was viewed by many cu rious persons, none of whom could designate its variety except one pro fessional gentleman, after consulting the authorities, pronounced it to be what is known as the "hair-tailed mackerel, or scabbard fish," a variety very rarely seen. Th tish looks like a cross between a mackerel and an eel, with a scaleless skin, much like the former. in suape it eloselv resembles a scabbard, is about two feet ami a half long by two inches wide at the broanesi pari, us uo-,K- f.-n. limit our in a flat tail, nearly round at the ends and about six inches ix...r v.-itd ii sliiriit irrowth nearly re- vn. f,, ...... - . - - sembling hair. The head is somewhat similar in shape to a macKerei, w un the under part ofthe mouth protruding in advance of the nose. The mouth is tin -ni.. bed on the sides with rowsol tine, sharp teeth, while those in front are long and resemble a squirrel or a rai.

Correspondence of t he News. (Jrkknsbouo, May b. Having Just returned home 1'roui Fayetteville, I hasten to reply to an article in your paper of the 15th, charging Col. L. L. Polk and the Board of Agriculture with the circular which I wrote, had primed and circulated. J. W. Albright, of this place, directed the envelopes for me, and to names Uiat we jointly thought representative men, regardless of their politics; and I assure the writer of that article that neither Col. Polk or any member of the Board of Agriculture had any intimation of my intention. After getting up the circular I con sulted with Mr. Albright, had it printed and at my own expense here, sent it out to more than one hundred address es; and further, I assure the w riter pf that article that I am no Democrat, amf never voted astraight Democratic tick et in my life, hence I deny any charge of a political nature in it. I w as then, and am mnv fully satis fied tha: a cLu-np way of reaching the farmers of North Carolina would do more good to that class of our citizens, for whom there has been so little legis lating, so little protection; and from whom there has been so much tax col lected. It: was for their benefit that this Department was established. Now, how can the masses be ben efited by the vast amount of in formation collected by their commis sioner? IIow can Dr." Ledoux tell the farmers of North Carolina (a large por tion of whom do not take a paper) the many formulas for improving their crops without some means of commu nication? Why has Prof. Kerr's vast fund of information and learning been of so little good to the farmers of our State? Simply because he did not have a means similar to the plan proposed in my circular. Ten thousand papers half the size of your daily can be sent to as many farmers in the State by this Department every week, for the small sum of $2,000 per year; and notwith standing the political twist your cor respondent tried to give the matter, which Col. Polk seemed to have appre hended, as shown by his card of the Kith, I still insist that the Department could not do more good for the farming interests of our good old State than by placing themselves in direct communi cation with at least ten fanners at every postotlice in the State, at an expense to the Department of twenty cents each for a whole year not apolitical paper, but an agricultural paper through which all the statistics, formulas and geological information may be dealt to the people in small doses, suited to their needs. That is just what I wanted, and agreeable to Col. Polk's statement was indorsed by many who signed my circulars and forwarded them to him, and which I regret he failed to present to his Board as he says he did. There were no political views inti mated ; I did not care who published it, t u..l-iwd ti.Jt they be advertised for the lowest bid, taking a bond lor Uie faithful conduct of a strictly proper paper, etc. I am alone responsible for the issue of that circular, and here thank you for its publication in your issue of the l.th, and would ask you to again annex it here, if it was not for the expense you would incur thereby.

' Pathetic stories were told at St. IjouIh I' on Tuesday by the ninety negroea who , . came down the Missouri en route for lit the home they had so lately left in f Mississippi. A reporter of one oT th". . St. Ixniis papers visited the James Howard, the steamboat on which tire 'I refugees had embarked, and there 1 found a lot of them grouped upon the lower deck awaiting impatiently the hour of tho boat's departure, and talk ing eagerly of the good times iu store or them upon a return to old friends and old scenes. A venerable old man, seated upon a lot of furniture, was questioned as to the causes which led him and those w ith him to return to 1 the region they had so lately left. The ' old man, speaking for himself and those about him, told an affecting story: ... i.i. n4 i' "Wese, done coined back," a!d he, "coz ef we'd staid we'd all die, shuah. Dar is do people at Wyandotte, lyin' along de banks an' dyin' like sheep. De climate is somethin' dey ain't used to, an dey gets plexrisy an' pneumo nia, an' den dev dies, More'n two hundred has been" buried already, an" dere wuz lots tnoah sick when we left 'em. Dey begged, some of 'em, to come with us, but dat couldn't be, anil so dey stays dar ter die." "How did you get passage on the boat?" was asked. "oh, some one paid de fares for us. I don't jes understand how the thing wuz fixed." The old darkey was asked as to what ho thought the reception of the refugees would be upon their return South, and answered that he thought it would be kind. They had been told that the white folks-would not receive them well, but he knew better. Anyhow, they would be better oft" than staying In Kansas. It appeared that most of the refugees on the Howard were from points near Davis' bend, not far from Vieksburg, and as they were all returning to the same locality, they all had the same reception to look forward to. Not one of them appeared to have apprehensious, and there was not one of them but seem ed overjoyed at an escape from the mis eries suffered at Wyandotte and other Kansas towns. On the levee one of the refugees an intelligent young man, was holding forth at some length to a group of late arrivals from the South, who were waiting in St. Louis for a chance to continue their journey west ward. His remarks were not likely to be misconstrued: 44 We went out there," said he, 44 with some money, and they told us that with a little start we could get along well. They said there was plenty of good land and that we could have it to work. Well, most of us didn't get as far as that land, but some of us did, and just to see was enough.
