North Carolina and the Paris Elk
position.

Notwithstanding the ruling of Com
missioner Mccormick which included
all mineral and manufactured products
of our State from the Paris Exposition.
Commissioner Polk through the active
cooperation of various enterprising
citizens in different portions of the
State was enabled to collect and send
forward to Hon. w. o.. LeDuc very
handsome specimens of Agricultural
products: consisting of jute silk, diff
ferent varieties of wheat, oats, barley.
buck wheat, rye, garden and field peas,
mari, preserved pears, peaches, quin-
ces canned fruits, rice, cotton in seed
and lint, Isabella, Scuppernong, Impe-

payne wines, whiskeys, peanuts, smok-
ing, chewing and leaf tobacco, yellow
pine and cypress shingles, several ar
rieties of corn, sorghum, long moss,
West India sugar cane, millet & c.,
Our commissioner had received quite
a handsome collection of very fine
specimens of gold, silver and copper
ores from various counties, but as
Commissioner Mccormick had closed
the list they could not be forwarded.
Correspondence recently published
between that.official and his Excelency
Gov. Vance, shows that under the pro-
CRANE adopted, the Southern States
were little thought of, or cared for.
The receipt of the articles sent by Col.
Polk is acknowledged in the fol-
towing letter:

DEAR SIR:-I take pleasure in &C

not fail to reflect credit alike on the
exhibitor and the country.

THE WORLEY MURDER.

At last we have the details of the late
horrible double murder in Wayne, Of
poor Jim Morley and his wife, on the
18th day of February last, On the farm
of VIM. +. Atkinson.
The negro committee which has, with
c~ommendable energy. made every ef-
fort to find out tho guilty parties. has
been IN session from day u day during
the past week. Yesterday part Of the
committee went 10 Goldsbore, and

Lying Still and Lying Ever.

The Boston Pilot, under the heading
of "Brutes in North Carolina" re-
hashes, and multiplies the foul SLAM
ders set afloat shortly after the loss of
the Metropolis, concerning the "inhu-
manity" and "robberies" of the
North Carolinians who seized the
exhausted survivors, and plundered
their persons while yet amid the surf"
etc, etc. We suppose it is hardly
worth while to state that all these lies
have been exploded long ago but we
might call the Plots attention to the
arrest of Capt. Harrison" formerly
connected with the Bliss "-frauds,)
who started the falsehoods in the first
instance. On his arrival home in Phil
adelphia, after public admiration Of
his bravery had subsidized, dor he reia-
ted how he walked the beach with a
pistol in each hand, several days and
nights, to shoot down like dogs the
miserable North Carolina ~thieves,')
suspicion was aroused, and a search
Lila tdhCll oul d2d1lSI HtHtSSJ .
Then was found two or three trunks
filled with "plunder," clothing, jew
elry, &C., belonging to the survivors,
and the dead. So, this yirtuous ex-
poser of North Carolina rogues proves
to have been the real thief himself!
The same paper has an article on
North Carolina as a place for immi-
grants, which has as many lies as it
has sentences. 1t seems to be designed
to keep Irishmen from coming into
the State, as it declares "36 per cent.
Of the population are colored and only
700, or one in 800 are Irish" "The
most important crops are tobacco, rice,
and cotton, with the cultivation OF
which most of the Irish are totally
unacquainted. Malarial diseases, con-
sumption, and lung disorders are re-
markably severe throughout the whole
eastern half" The soil is worn out
with annual cropping without ma
nure." "White labor cannot be profit
ably employed in the cultivation of
cotton OF rice" THE eastern section
| is flat, the soil very poor and sandy, or
wet and Doggy, and along the coast
subject to great change by wind and
water" "The middle belt is a success
sion of steep hills and narrow valleys;
the soil a poor, light sandy or gravely
loam." "The mountains are wild,
rugged and unproductive, very cold
in winter, but agreeable an summer"
One truth, in forty lies.

BONE MILL.-When a sChool-boy in
Central Pennsylvania, we often saw
poor old women and children search
ing about through the fields and high
ways for bones of all kinds, which,
when their bags were filled, they car
ried to the village to sell, at several
cents a pound, to the merchants, who
were agents for a Bone-Dust Factory.
Now why could a not Bone-Mill be es-
tablished at Raleigh and the thousands
of idle negroes throughout the State
be set at work to gather up the osseus
offal which abounds in the neighbor-
hood of every village? The Bogardus
Mill, for instance, worked by a 6-hOrse
power engine, or any small stream of
water, will grind any kind of bone as
fine as flour and this class of .%fertili-
ger in its raw state is preferable to
nine-tenths of the high-priced manu-
featured stuff.
