DIvIDEND.-It will he perceived, by the
announcement in another column, that the
Board of Directors Of the Raleigh and
Castor Railroad have declared dividend
of three per cent, payable at the Office oi
the Company, in this city, on and aftt1
the 16h prox. The fact that this road
has been able to declare dividend, con
sidering its difficulties during the last ti>ca
year, is most creditable to it's management
There are few, if any, roads in the who'll
country, whose affairs are conducted with
more energy, Judgment and ability. We
repeat that this dividend is good thing. >

order requiring the test-oath of members
of the Legislature will be waived Or sus
pended.

MIST KEs CoRRECTED.-At The recent
election in Carteret county, the Conserva-
tive ticket was elected throughout. Johu

believing that Mr.. Davis was fairly elected.
! The facts and papers were ali sent to Gen.
Candy, proving Mr.. Davis election, and
We are glad to hear that Gen. Candy has
corrected the mistake and sent the certii-
cate to Mr.. Davis We are glad to have
the opportunity of acknowledging Dir.
| Dellamar's integrity in the matter, and,
also, Gen. Canby's promptness in correct
| ing the error.
Similar errors have been made in the
order of Gen. Candy in other places. One

IN which two County Commissioners,

their opponents were elected by over two
hundred majority. Efforts, also, We learn
are being made, by &c pa te testimony, t,

House of ReEr:. :.sentatlves from Camden tC

Whenever errors of this kind occur, VT
urge our friends to communicate the facts
at once to Gen. Candy. He will correct
errors, we believe, when made sensible oj
them. .-Ra:eigh Sentinel,
OUR CROP PROSPECTS, the past
week We have made a few short runs tC
different parts of the county, and have
had an opportunity to see something OF the
growing crops for ourself, and learn some
thing of those just harvesting. Among
the latter, whe"t, in some Instances, is
pretty badly hurt by the rust, while in
others We learn there IS no injury at all.-
Very little is being threshed out yet, and
ouly in small lots for Immediate family
use. From what we can learn, the yield
We think will be tolerably fair average. -
| The oat crop was never finer for the coun-
ty, although in some few instances We hear
Of rust but this is on late seed oats, OF
which very little generally was put in. Of
this crop an unusual breadth OF Land was
plan ted, and We hear Of extraordinary
yields in some cases.
Cotton is looking very we'll, although
very much behind because OF the late cold
spriug and heavy rains. Under the inhu-
auce of the uniform warm weather OF the
asst few weeks it is pushing ahead very
fast.
Corn, on the average, especially on the
highlands, is doing we'll, but In the bot
toms not so we'll, because OF the Necessity
70 replant great deal in consequence of
the ravagrs of the cut and bud worm. Of
the hill corn we saw some that 1t did ones
heart good to Look upon. In the neigh
borhood of Lilesvilie We saw field mot
qardea) corn tasseling, with color SO rich
