We learn that Governor Reid has determined to
appoint Commissioner to superintend the improve
ment of Tar River, in conformity with the appropri-
alton made at the session of the General Assembly
of 1850.
AS this appointment is of great Importance to that
section of the State Immediately interested in
this work, believe the Governor will endeavor to
consult the interests and wishes of the people the
line of the improvement. 1t is, therefore, hoped
that those interested will, at early day. unite in
recommending some gentleman for the appointment
who will perform the duties faithfully and satsfac
torly.
We also learn that it is expected that the Com
missioner will receive reasonable compensation fol-
his services and that it is desirable that the WORK
should be commenced at early period as practi

The Presidency.

We find that the Republic, the especial organ" as
the Union terms it, hunts up with assiduty and repub
fishes with gusto every commentator or recommen-
dation of President Fillmore as candidate for re-
election. The wires are evidently being worked that
way. If Fillmore only press his Buffalo and
Erie letters upon his northern friends and keep his
Southern organs from making them the basis of eu-
logum on him, he may get the nomination and make
pretty fair run, coming out only second best. The
recent results in Pennsylvania and South Carolina
improve Buchanan stock fifty per cent. We should
not be surprised if he were 10 be the next President
of the United States. He would make capital one.
Able, clear-headed and sagaeious. But time will

The First Dividend.

We understand that at meeting of the Directors
of the Wilmington and Raleigh Rail Road company:
held in this place last Friday evening, it was unani-
mously resolved to declare dividend OF three dol
lars per share the capital stock of the company
This dividend is made from the bona fde profits Of
the Road, and is fully justified by the circumstances
Of the company. This Road may hereafter, we hope
be fairly regarded dividend paying improve
ment, and its stock must appreciate in consequence
Of course no official announcement has been made
but our information is equally reliable, and we are
aware of no motive for secresy We hope this will
help to make money plentier, for are just about
