Fifth Congressional District.

On Tuesday last J. II. Gooch, Esq, of Gran
vile, and Josiah Turner, Jr., Esq, of Orange, can
ddates for Congress IN this District, addressed the
people at the Courthouse in this place.
We forbear an attempt to report the remarks of
these gentlemen, lest we might do them injustice.
They both manifested strong attachment to the
Confederate government, and pledged themselves
if elected to urge and vote for vigorous prosecu-
ton of the war.
The Hon. A. II. Arlington, of Nash, who is also
candidate was prevented from being present on
Tuesday by indispostion. He Hearrived however, on
Tuesday evening" and would have addressed the
people on Wednesday, but for the fact that the
weather was unpropitous and the Courthouse was
occupied with some important trials.
Mr. Gooch was formerly the Sheriff of Granville,
and is gentleman of character and sound common
sense.
Mr. Turner has served the people of Orange in
both branches of the Legislature and is at present
the commander of cavalry company from Orange.
As soon as the war commenced he repaired to Fort
Macon, and remained there for some time as pri-
vate in the ranks. He is young man Of fine talents
and speaks with force and effect.
Mr. Arlington vas representative in Congress
under the old government and has had much expe-
rience as public man. He is at present member
of the State Convention, to which position he was
unanimously called by the people of Nash. He has
been for number of years in private life, engaged
IN his business as farmer. He is man Of excel
lent Judgment good speaker, and well posted in
public affairs.
Indeed, all three of them are clever and worthy
gentlemen, and it is for the people of the District to
decide between them. Of Mr.. Venahle we say
nothing, because though understood by his friends
to be candidate, be is not in the canvass in the
District.
Our columns are open to the candidates, and We
will cheerfully publish such circulars and appoint
men,s they may wish US to lay before our readers

ALIEN EsEMuEs.- It appears that the recent alien
law OF Congress has led to the discovery Of large
number OF persons still residing in the South whose
sympathles were with the North. Nearly 300 per.
sons were found of that class in Richmond who left
under the law, but who remained to the last mo-
