Our Democratic friends in the 5th Congressional District should bear in mind the fact that the Convention to nominate a candi date for Congress, also a candi date for Presidential Elector will meet in the Court House at Greensboro, at noon on Thursday, the 5th day of August next.

Tht longer i i defrtml the more candidate there will le. It was inteuded that the Department should have a com mUsiooer.to manage its affair. Two mouths or more have elapsed since the reignation of commi. ioner I'olk. In ihe meantime the cotton worm is playing the d with our gteat staple. It wa rumored in Greensboro, last week that it was the intention oftheliojrd of Agriculture not to fill the vacaucy uutil after the fall eltctioim, und then a re-election of the late incumbent on!d follow. We tell this just a.i it was told to a, ami uon i vouca lor us correct ness. The Raleigh Obserrer payn Judge Merrimou a very distiuguished compliment in namtug him as a member of Hancock s cabinet. Ihe Obierver will have a voice in the making ot the next cabinet, and it nomination of Judge Merrimon, therefore, is no empty compliment. Charlotte Obterrer. A corrfiondent of the Patriot writing fiom Chicago, was the lir.st ertion to suggest the name ot Judge Merrimon fur a neat in the Cabiuet. The Xciebcrnian, ami other pajers endorsed the view of our ccrretjoudeut. Now, the Ral eigh Olerrer receives credit for naming the distinguished Noith Carolina statesman tor the hiizb and honorable posit ioa of Post Master General. Is it light ? However, let us all work t-g. the r, aud elect Hancock first, and then it will le time enough to talk about Cabinet appointment.

A Beautiful Story of General Hlnoock. Norfolk Landmark. Maj Lee'a speech at Great Bridge was andoubtetlly .a beautiful per formanoe the imoat robust, manly, and eloquent address we have ever neard from him, aud we recret that its literary beauties could not have Deen preservedby a stenographer. Wherever he ntay be able to repeat u me enect must be to enhance hia reputation, z: si ould he be able himself to leprfiduce it we wish he wouiu write it Soul. In the course of his noble ecology ou Gen Han cock he narrated a little incident which we wisbjwe could repeat in hi? .1 gluwin lauguage, but eveu s- ti risk of efooihng it we venture o lte.4t it. When Gen. Johnston va u ited the ieuintuila, and the l' 'l-r tl troops Jtdvanced, two plain !ucv rs -ho wrr not iu the nrmy t ag-j itood talkitig moaru 'j:iy iu tiie highway. Th?ir henrts ere Kad and heavy with'n them. They had seen the lastol '! ir kith and kin, the last of the Confederate buttle tlags, aud they were bowed down with manly sorrow. They were fil'ed, too, with gloom and apprheusion. They had known fcomething of tue war waged by Butler when he commanded on the Peninsula, aud expected pillage and fire and sword aa their imitiou. Thus standing, an officer, evideutly cf rauk, rode up and asked them at few questions. They were near a house which Gen Johnston had fecently occupied, and after inquir ing how long since the Confederate leader had left, the uuknowu officer observed that the ruined farmers were iu great distress One trying to patou a bold front, and seeing that the stranger was femokiug, drew out his pipe and tried to light it to show him how cool and comjoted he also could be under calamity ; but the old man's hand shook and his eyes were dim. When the Federal gen eral saw this he threw himself from his horse, steadied the old man's pipe, held his own cigar till it was lighted, auiKby this homely act re vealed hia native beuevoleuce.j Then he said : 41 Gentlemen, go to your homes, go to work, aud attend to your own allairs as law-abiding and Iieaceful citizens, aud no one: shall' molest you." That man was Gen Haucock, and when he performed this simple act of kindness he never dreamed, said Maj. Lee that it would be narrated to his lellow citizens of the South ou the author ity of one of those old men, still surviving, to show his noble nature, in such a cauvass as the present. We have spoiled the Mory in the telling; but its point is not lott, and great in small things Gen. Han cock has proved great in big things also. Is it a wonder, then, that the people can take such a mu to tht-ir hearts .nd give Um tlit-ir l Vi, and con fid, nee, aud ai'miration T Cel. Duncan K. McRae to Col. J. W. F.Tneyv , Forney's Progress.

The soldiers of the Xorth Carolina Fifth will to a man vote for Hancock, tor they feel themselves to be associated with his first victory, he said ol their fight at Williamsbnrg : "Xorth Catolina ought to write Immortal on the banner of the Fifth." I wih the reunion of the Soldiers of America may take place at Gettj sburg: The Fifth will be sure to be there. Williamsburg and Gettvsburtr m..de the base and apex ut the Hancock pyramid have the battle flag of that day, riddled with his shot and j shell.

The orchard consists of thtee acres of fine, healthy trees, planted twen ty feet apart, in a iight, loamy, und very deep soil, in a bend t Xap.t creek. Mauyof the trees are til teen years old. The priucipal varieties raised ate Biack lartaiians, Jigar rans, and Pontiaos. Tiie former in greater demand as table . fruit, always commanding good prices. For canning purposes the tirm meated Bigarreaus and. other white varieties are fast growing in popu larity. Owing to the favorable lo cation ot this orchard the trees have vieldcd abuudautlv every year but one since it was planted. The crop this year is larger than in any pre vious season. One bough, thirty inches long, cut from a Bigarreau tree yesterday, had 100 cherries thereon, and this was but one of hundreds. Tiie oldest trees yield ed this jear from .'500 to 400 pounds each Seven persons are at present engaged in ' picking and packing the fruit, the latter operation being dotie in a very neat manner, so that the fmit may pteseut an attractive appearance, in It he market.

The verdict of the j census as to the comparative growth and pre tensions of the chief cities of the Union is now; known with substan tial correctness and j completeness. Xew York city, of course, stands easily first, and is the only one re quiring seven figures to express the total of i:s humanity. At a loug interval after it comes Philadelphia, which during the last decade grew with a growth nearly) equal to Xew York (24 per cent.), 'but . which in 1SS0 had not yet arrived at the to tal reached bv Xew York in 1S70. Xew York's total is I,L09,5C1, Phil-udelphiuV- S42.000, aikl Brooklyn's ooi,oij, a growth for the last-named of 40 per cent; (Jiilcago and St. Louis have changed, places since 1370.- ! Chicago's population . in creased GO per cent., to 477,500. St. Louts . increased only. 21 per cent, cr to 375,000, and has consequently taiien o:io step in the scale. .Bos ton, too, has beaten Baltimore, and now, with an increase of 40 percent as against Baltimore's 23, stands sixth, with a! total of 352 000 inhabi tants. Baltimore has L530.000 Cin cinnati; inerei -ed its total 19 per cent, or to; 255,801, and stands eighth,! as it -did ten years ago. Xew Orleans and Sari Francisco shuw another comparative change. JSew Orleans increase. I only 8 per cent, as against San Francisco's 51 per cent, of gain, and consequently it has fallen Irom ninth in 1870 to tenth ih 1880. Its -'population is 207,328; and San Francisco's is 227,- 350. Other six-figured cities, mak ing 18 in all thus lar, are in o:der, Washington, 100,000: Cleveland, 157.000 ; Buffalo, 1 10,000 : Newark. 130,000; Milwaukee,; 130,000; De troit, ll!),U.iO; Louisville, 112,000; and Providence, 101,000. Among these eight there rhave also been many comparative changes, as will appear from the order .of 1870, which was Buffalo, YV ashington, Xewark, Louisville, Cleveland. Detroit. Mil waukee Providence.' How these changes resulted is sufficiently ap parent from the fact that Washing ton's' increase was 45 per cent. ; Cleveland's, 71; Bu Halo's, 27 ; Xew ark's, 30; Milwaukee's. 92; De troit's, 50 ; Louisville's, 11, and Providence's,. 52. In order to make the comparison , of six-figured cities complete, the claims ot Pittsburg and Jersey City, returns from which are nor now at hand, should doubt less be taken into account. Den ver (Co!.) reports a gain of G 14 per cent, which is entirely exceptional and is, of course, due to special well known causes. Other notice ably large gains are 24 1 percent, at Minneapolis, 195 at Pawtucket, 112 at Chester, b 0 at Atlanta! ' 102 at Waterbury, and 100 at St. Paul, trom which it will appear that-prosperity, iirpt his respect al least, has fallen tsenily equably on the Xorth, S-jutli, ;Kast, and West.

Editor Patriot : The writer of .. this is a countryman, he was bornT and. raised on an old Guilford farm,. -and is proud of it to-day. ' -: But Jor several years past he has been living iu Greensboro, (or 44 in town.") And having the advantage of some acquaintance with' both town and country people, the feel ings they cherish, the sentiments tbey breathe, Sc., he wishes to urge the performance ot duty ;Upon all. aud correct some who are iucliued T" to err iu regard to the feelings that exist between the people in town, and the people iu the country. The people rule in this country, and may the people realize this aifit ,'properlyc appreciate it the great est muniment of American libertyT jj And thanks to Iliin to whom all thanks are due, for sometime past the Democratic people have ruled in Guilford and in Xorth Carolina, and if wh? wish this to be contiued - -we must haye unity oi spirit among the people, and concert of actioitixi -. air oar political movements ; and to have this uuity of spirit and concert of action we must rhave close, compact and complete o rgan-. ization. "United we stand di tided we fall." Let there be no jealously-and no . prejudice between the East and the West, nor between the town and country. I would say to my friends iu the country, whose sentiments and feelings I .am well acquainted , with: for I have experienced them .. myself, that the people of greens- boro entertain no feelings but that , oi friendship and the highest re gard tor the wishes ot the country' -x people in the choice of candidates . and a '-plan of organization.,' What the people in town -want; and what tiie people in the country want, is to whip the Radicals and IHU fl'iJU Uicu 11 VUlVlva This should be ,the main govern iug Sentiment, and all our personal preferences for friends should be subordinated to this. - - This fellow-citizens, is tl e spirit: in town, and I believe it is the Bpirit ' in the country, and I hojpe that neither will allow themselves to be prejurliced by any of f their sore headed friends against any one J man, or set of men, in the Demo- cratic 'party so as to ' bring ou a fight amoug ourselves and in this way defeat the Democratic ticket , in Guilford. j: 1 t - .

We have some veiy cter gen- : tlemeri in town who have been 7 spoken of and I have no iloubt. would like to be candidates, and I think the voice of the pepple will - -', call some of them to that honora- bie position on tliK 21st of Au.gust "V next.

I know the country people, they ' are the purest, most honest, and cleverest people in - the world, but still I have somewhat against them. -j- There is one duty they greatly y neglect, and that is, in not coining out to the county ejiiventitin and x speaking freely their sentiments,, and then ever afterwards holdings " their peace. I 'do hope they wilj y not. be guilty of this failuie of duty . ou the 21st of August, and if they -are, anil will not come out and m.;r!:e known their choice at the pmner time, I sincerely' hope that tlnly will, suhmit quietly.: to the aetionof Ihe convention. - . .'
