We are making u thorough change in the form of our paper and it requires time and patience to accomplish our object, • r Election Day*. Tuesday, the 29th October instant. Wednesday, the 30th October instant, Thursday, the*3lst October insthnt. The election to be held at the several C on ly Seats only Polls to be opened at 7 o'clock, A, M and closed at G o'dock P, M of each day Improvements. Greensboro is begining to look up in point of prosperity. Two brick Stores aid a large Carriage Manufactory, are iu process of erection.- Our enterprising young friends O.

Great Show will be here on the Brhof November. Save vour hall dollars all ye curious folks who want to see the Show.

We have received from ihe'publishing bouse of Louis Tripp, Louisville, Ky , the following pieces of new music, lor which we leturn our thanks : Bury me under the Willow. Calmly Sleeping in the Valley. Black Croor. Mr Tripp is dealer iu mimic and mueicu l Instruments. The Cotton Tax. A memorial for the removal of the tax on Cotton has been transmitted to us by a large and influential firm in Cincinnati, for tho signa tures of our citizens. Messrs Addy, Hail ACo the framers of the memorial, are sending the m broughout the country, so as to get as large a list of names as possible before laying the mat tar before Congress. It is, thereforo, desirable that allour citizens, who wish to be relieved of this heavy and unjust taxation, sbouljl call at Howell & Neary’s store and sign the paper. If no good will be accomplished, we are satisflod no harm will.be done. The annual.taxes on cotton amounts to twen ty-five or thirty millions of dollars which is paid principally by the pe >plo of the South. — To bo relieved of this heavy hurdenjwould in deed ohoer the laboring man who has been forced to pay so much to the Oovormnent to keep up negro bureaus,; military offle ial etc. Fashions* Judging from the many controversies, public and private, already h. Id, or on the lapit, the ladies seem to find it a difficult matter to dec de whether or not French fashions are to be unceremoniously cut in future, and American ideas to receive exclusive patronnge. For our part, we admire the energy which cannot find time to expend in words. That there isestinu ble natural talent among American motlislts we have a beautiful proof before us iu the Ladies Mammoth Bulletin of Fall *ad Winter Fashions. ” recently issued by Mme. Demorest at her Emporium of Fash ions, Nos. 473 and 838 Broadway. This large sheet comprises seventy iullstzed figures richly colored, representing a* many chaste and elegant stylcsof dress, adapted to all occasions. The Bulletin is fully explained by a book of descriptions, con taining also very valuable hiuts upon 4he art of dressmaking. These excellent guides to taste, novelty and elegance are placed at general command, by being sold at the merely nominal sum of $2.50. Each purch' aser of the Mammoth Bulletin receives in addition 10 fulltized patterns. We have also received Mme Dcraorest'g Children's Bulletin of Fashions. As prom ised in previous announcements, this Mammoth Plate presents an extensivs and varied assortment of Fall and Winter styles. It contains over 50 figures, repre senting many graceful,attractive ideas. It is accompanied by ten full sized patterns aud a book of descriptions. Ve think this fine Fashion Tlate must prove an invalua ble treasury of information to mothers and drcssmakeis. The price, including book and patterns, is $ 1.50.

Dew drops hang like liquid diamonds from slender rcse-twigs and tiny grass- blades, and warbling choristers play joyfully on magnolia boughs and in thick hedges of deep evergreen, A charming mock ingbird from the bough of a tall cedar, trills his medley Os soil-stirring Bougs and a petite flying squirrel skips playfully amid the gnarled branches of an old chcsnut near by, in search for his morning food. We throw up our sanctum window to look out on the smiling scone, and a gentle zephyr laden with perfume from rose-bowers and jasmin clusters, fan from nur temples the slightly oppressive heat of this beautiful “Indian Summer” morn. Tire little city rests quletlyJn the valloy below, and above is spread in gorgeous beauty the clear blue heavens, shaming the hues of famed Italia’s sunny skies, Nature’s lyre is musical with my riads of soft symphonies all tuned to the melancholy cadences oi the autumnal zephyr which whispers among the Icaflc;* touching l ham with the “sere and yellow” tinge of death.

Nature has elevated the knoll with gently sloping declivities on all sidos and the venerable oaks which crown its crest east inviting shadows on the green sward beneath. The hand of Art has planted and nurtured into heathful life and fashioned into every conceiv able form of beauty an ondloss variety of ever green shrubbery and skirted tho multifarious gravel-walks with uniform hedges of dwarfish boxAvood. Let us walk into the flower-garden and here we find the very perfection of floral science in the roetangular, acute, obtuse and circular ar rangement of tho beds, and in tho skillful dis position of shrubbery. The choicest flowers from the gorgeous magnolia to the meek-eyed violet are found here in endless variety and here and there the scuppernong and yellow jessamine trail in thick profusion over handsomely lattioed frame-work.

The good lady whose head planned these scenes and whoso hands planted and watered those flowers has passed away, and decay and neglect mark the places waich her presence cnoe made glad. Rank weeds have taken possession of her cherished garden and the running vine has forgotten her training and nurturing care. In one room of the grand old palace, the former master of these lordly prem ises, broods with enfeebled frame and sick heart over the misfortunes of life and the uncertainty of things terrestial. A noble old man! For forty years, one of the most prominent, active and public spirited citizens of the community— he has survived his hea’th, h s family and bis prineely fortune and is now waiting with heavy heart for ihe summons to call him from the scenes ! of his former happiness. Under his training, we understand many men were fitted for useful ness, and among the number may be mention ed our worthy townsman. C. A. Davis, who just ly stands in the front ra of merchants. Th : s magnificent prope" ' passed from his hands, but like the bird lingering arounl the old nest, he still clings to 'lie homestead, and we trust he may yet soe ininy moons wax and wane, and that his last days may bo his hap piest. The property has passed into the hands of Dr. T. N.

A Powerful Fertilizer.—Every farmer has soot at command, whose presence in stove pipes or chimneys is not unfrequently the cause of fires, occasioning the loss sometimes .of both property and life. This agent for evil is one ol the valuable manures, and noth ing but the m~ f eulpahle careless'' ness and iudifle ence will suffer it to remain a staudiug menace of life and property, when it can be easily removed aud turned to good account in the field or garden. Twelve quarts of soot in a hogs' head of water will make a powers ful liquid manure, which will im prove the growth of flowers, garden ! vegetables or root crobs. In either ; a liquid or solid state it makes an j [excellent top'dressing for grass or j cereal crops.
