Richmond, Va., Jan. 26, 187U- The State of North Carolina is entitl ed to $i 80,000 a year dividend ou stock owned by the State in tbe North Caro lina Rail Road. This money has betn for seveu years diverted by the action of the Uui'ed States Courts to the pockets of the holders ot a part of the 6tate Bonds issued for the construction of the road. Over a million dollars has thus been diverted from the State Treasury, we have no complaint against the United States Court; the case has been fully argued. Tho Chief Justice of the Luited States wasou tho bench wheu many of the points involved wire decided. It, may be assumed thereof, that the case is fu ly abjudicated and that thu huld eisol'the Coustiuctiou lijiids have a s a- utory lieu on constt uciioii mur gao ou the three -loui ths ol the road owned by the State, but while they may not be disposed by au' legal means, a com promise might have been made with i hem dui ing the pendency of litigation by which the Stale might enjoy at least half of the cash levenues heretofore paid to the bondholders. A few ytars ago these bonds were worth 30, they are now worth G. The advance was charly forest eu by all who knew that the htigaliou was ended, their legal status having been detei mined their value depeuds ou the amount they pay, annually, the payments for a few years back have been Inm 7 to 8 per cent, a year and with lixed dividends under tho lease this revenue will continue, aud the bonds will settle i n the market at the price oj" other goods seven per c ut. li mds say 8 t to tU, but the HQLe may even now compromise with the holdeis aud recover control of the dividends of the road. As the Bonds are now ouly worth 60, the holders would no doubt accept a live per cent. S a'e bond pioperly secured, Coupons ma ie good jUr taxes and the reveuuts ot the road pleoged for the interest acd pi incip.il, under such a compromise the Statu woulo re eive annual dividends on three millions of Rad R a i Stock at G per cent. 140,000 aud would have to pay live per cent, on all tho Cou stiuctiou Bonds that have thus far come to liht which is less than 2,2o U(M ut 57, Personal. ' Hon Gustavua Schleicher died very p or; even the expense of his last can vass having been borne by his friends. Chief Joseph, of the Nez Perces.

Doctor Lindei man, director of the miot, is lying dangerously ill in Wash ington and his physicians have no hopes of his recovery. 3Ime. Anders n was so weak at the close of her great walk that several la dies among the spectators fainted dead away. Mr. A. II. Stephens is said to be the best whist player now iu Congress. He wrote that article on that game in "Johnson's Encyclopedia." Ex-Secrctary Delano, whose life was despaired of a week or so ago, is now about recovered. It is only the good, after all, who die young. Oliver Wendell Holmes used but cne pen for all his literary work between 1857 and September, 1878. He has sent the old veteran to the makers for lepair. Miss Lee. daughter of the late Gen eral Robert E. Lee, is said to beaueu ergetic traveler. She was not long "ago entertained by Lord and Lady Napier, at Gibraltar, and a few weeks b' fore was within the Russian lines in Tur key. General Sherman will leave Wash ington in a few dayB to make a tour of Georgia, Florida and the South Atlantic States. By this trip, after an absence of forty years, he will return to the scenes of a part of his earlier life and visit many points concerned with his later campaigns. The Ameer of Afghanistan is de scribed by an English missionary as being acquainted with history, the re sults of conversations with learned men, by whom he likes to be surround ed. He considers Napoleon the i -.-al est general the world ever possessed. At the recent election in France, Marshal Caorobert was defeated as a candidate for the senate by a verteri. nary surgeon. The old soldier, who has leu the armies of France in AlgieiF, Itary, the Crimea, etc., has written a letter, iu which he does not seek to disguise his disappointment. He is an iutense Imperialist, while his opponent is a Republican. Gen. Bristow is alleged to have said to Horace .Vhite lately : ''Mr. White. I have recently found in oue of the couL ties of Kentucky a lecord of the mars nage of the father aud mother of Abraham Lincoln; jou kuow that in Lamon's book there was some doubt cast upou the fact that, they h;.d been married at all. As ho evidence of their marriage was found in the county where Lincoln's parents lived, the con clusion was jumped at that they had not beu married at all." MMCELLAXEOUS, Vegetine FOB CHILLS'.

Indeed a new comer wi 1 ingratiate himself the most easily with the citizens of a particular State if he can look upou all others for tho time being through their specta cles. His wisest course will be to copy the exam pie of tho Frenchman ridicul ed and fctimat'zed by the late Gen. Sir Chailej Napier. That renowned soldier aud eccentrin man entertaiued the conviction that all Frenchmen are hypocrites, and he illustrated this harsh aud ungenerous opiniou by say ing: "If a Fienchman were to go to hell he would put ou an overcoat, corns pluneut the devil ou the fineness of the climate, and add that, if anything, it was rather chilly." I once said some thing to a PennBylvanian, alike lauda tory and merited, with regard to his State. II accepted the compliment as a matter of course and replied: " That's so; Pennsylvania is best iu everything."

I am gratified to find Mr. McLean of Newborn heie, engaged iu the laudable enterprize of orgauiziug a oohjuy of Hollanders, to settle iu tho fertile di trict midway between Newborn and Morehead City. Ho has control of a large body orland there, aud his plan is to s il at low and uniform prices. Our land companies have heretofore'all made the mistake of exacting a gieat deal more for lands than they could be so d for to the citizens; aud they have always been prompt to raise prices in proportion to the demand. Mr. McLean informs me that ho will avoid thse Mjiciuai mistakes, l ue next census will reveal the fact rhat North Carolina gains more population during the cur reut decade thau in any former period of ten. years; and more in proportion, thn it has gained i.i any decade siute 1S0. The cessation of emigrations from the State is the best possible evi dence that the country is improving, in wcdrin. as well as in numbers. While ignorant call the effete monarchies of Europe, lt is far more probable that he will be asked by the citizens of one State what he thinks of another, and then, unless he display a little of that French politeueta which Sir Charles Napier d tested, he will give as much olieuse as Capt. Basil Hall gave when he deuied that the United States were the only land worth living in. The correspondent of the L ndon limes never traveled exten sively in North Carolina. Our "Capt.
