Morehead should hare sneered at the idea that a Virginian !.wh has, like ourseif, so lately moTed into the State, should p re tame to know sny thing about the Railroads ia it. Has the worthy Got error forgot that aia ytart ego he, and the writer of this ar ticle, were co-laborers ia the cause of Inter nal Iaoproretneat ia .North ' Carolina . If woald seem so, and we therefore take leaTe to rtfreah his memory with the following leaf from history : " From the IYtenLurg IntUigMer. , Town Msktiio.

As the GoTercor seems not to recollect tie occurrences above related, he may hare krgot the speech which be delivered on the occasion, aad we shall, therefore, give hita the substasce of i, and it the .sceoraey of ear report is doubted, we will prove it by aasesUonsble testimony. Got. Morehead said, that the people of Petersburg were deely interested in the re wust ruction of the Raleigh & Gaston Rail-. road, then ia a wofully dilapidated condition hut that the re-eoestractioa of that Road depended spon a condition precedent, to wit the assurance that the Stock of the Central Koa j of North Carolina would be taken, and thas its eoostfuetks W eecuTed--hat' as scoo as the construetion of said . Central Hoad waa secured, the State of North Caro Ixa would rive liberal terms to a company vt r-eonstruct the Ilaleigh A Gaston Road, aad thus Petersburg would Le again la pos aettioa of this important arenueof trade. It was, therefore, urged Got. Morehead, the elvioas policy of the people cf Petersburjc to ecus to the assistance of the Central as a certainty of the construction of that Koad was necessary to the re-const to o tioa cf the Raleigh & Gaston Road ; aad farthermore, Le would say to the people of Petenburg, thai with the Central -Head wtsfrueted, and the Raleigh & Gaston Road 'e-eouatrueted, neii her is nor - Axs popU td tvrr ask for a Bailroad fnm Grteni otig t0 Danrille, or any other point on M RicAatond and Danvillt Railroad,- On Mother hand, Got.

' "" : ' V .; : QUKEB PROCEEDINGS IM THE LEG ISLATURE. The principle that each branch of the Legislature of this State shall maintain the purity of its own body by judging of toe re turns of members prima facie elected to it, and the principle that the three DepartKat at of the Government recognised by the Coa sctution of the State, seem both to be in a fair, er rather, we should say, in a foul way of being repudiated by the present Demo cratic Legislature. We do not intend sow 10 disease the traestion as to whether Jar. E. G. Hay mod is, or is not, entitled to his seat in the Legislature. We have our own views about that, and are eontent to let Mr. Hay wood be tried by his peers, the members of the House, of which be claims to be a member. But the debate in the House on Wednesday, and the action of that House oa the same day, suggest matters for Tery grave inquiry, and so thinking, we will look' into thcta when we bare more space and eUure. ' ' . , ,' HOW IT WAS DOJtE. Oa going up Fsyetteville street the other day, we saw aa apparently fine-fpirited horse following a man who was tapping a drum. Tha man did not hold the bridle of the horse, but simply tapped the drum, and. the horse would follow hisa hither and thither, in all manner of serpentine evolutions. . Of course there was a rast deal of " miration express ed by passengers ia the street, and fearing that some of them would " bust " if they could not solve the problem of the man's control over the horse, we, with our usual amiability, found 'out. all about it, and told them -As koru was drilUd in m Democrat' ic Caucus the night before. ' The explanation was. so simple and satisfactory, that erery mother's sou of the spectators went away surprised that he hadn't thought of it himself. A SAVINGS BANK I If RALEIGH. We observe from the proceedings of the gtalature, tbat Mr. Bledsoe has introduced bill into the Senate for a charter for a Savings Bank io the city of Raleigh. We bare often expressed surprise, that there was no institution of the kind in this city, and we are glad to tee that steps are being taken to establish oae. No one, who has witnessed the workings of these institutions, can fail to have observed the beneficial influence they exert among those who are disposed to lay op weekly or monthly small amounts. They have proved of Incalculable benefit to me chanics and otherp, whose earnings, over aad above their necessary expenses, are small ; and owing to their existence, many a man has bee a .induced to save and deposit small . - - sm .... . amounts, which, but for them, .wouia nave been expended for something that eould eas ily have been dispensed iritlu We cannot believe that the petition for a charter for an institution promising so much benefit to the hnmhler classes ss a Saviors' Bank, can fail to pass boh nouses of our Legislature with see DO cause for objection from any source.
