COLUMBL?i. I Thursday Morning, July 26,1866. Kc.1' ii ton . ** We find the following paragraphs ! published in the Newbern Daily j Times, as having been extracted from j a Goldsboro paper: .There is no trying; to eoueeal it the Northern and Southern people don't like each Other muck- whether > they ever will, we aro not able to pre diet. Whether they ever ought, we j are scarcely enough of a moralist to ? say. Much hap been said-and tho ! prattle still goes on-about recon- j structiou. rehabilitation, reconcilia? tion, ?te., but we can't see what interest the down-trodden South bas in any of thom, for thc present nt least. Her duty is to be silent mid mimi lier own business. Whit is it to tim lately rebellious Stntos, whe? ther they have seventy or seven, o? no representatives in the present radi? cal Congress"? "Why then manifest so much anxiety to be restored to the friend? ship of a people who only hate ns mut speak of us ns barbarians. Then' tree no feelings in common, social, ]>o UliCal or religious, between the fjeop/e of the North and the S<ju(h." We extrai t the above for the pur? pose of expi casing our dis.- tit there? from. Sueh utterances and senti? ments we thought hud boen laid aside, at the close of the war, ?md, if the Southern people have in reality accepted the result of tin' arbitra? ment to which they appealed, sueh paragraphs as the ubove can only be calculated to do harm. Especially at this time, when the Executive of the country and the conservative men of nil sections aro so heartily engaged in the great work or restoring peace and harmony, such language as this falls with peculiar discord ou our oars. Tlie Southern States have been in? vited to meet their friends in conven? tion, for the express purpose of de? vising uieaus to re-establish friendly relations between the sections, and to restore these States to their former full relations with the Government, and we take the ground that, having to bear their share of the heavy taxation, it does make considerable difference whether they are repre? sented by seventy or seven. Had they been fully represented, much of the evil legislation with which the coun? try is now afflicted would have been uverted, and the faction which has now such a clear working majority would have been unable to pass theil unconstitutional Acts, such as tin civil rights. Freedmen's Bureau bills .vc. Nor eau we perceive that, in un; sense, would it be a humiliation tc the Southern people to unite in tin accomplishment of the patriotic em in view. Every Southern State ha elected her Senators and Representa lives, ?md if they did not desire rep resentation in Congress, why did the; choose them? If they still wanted ti 1>> a separate people, it certainly wa not dignified to elect their represen tatives tt> the United States Congress The largo majority of the people hav taken the amnesty oath of allegianc to the Government, and if they d not aid in restoring that Govern ment to its former position, they ur wanting in their duty ns good an loyal citizens. This is the true pos rion of every Southern tuan who lui taken the oath to support the Gi \eminent, and the ditty imposed 1> that obligation requires him to sm tain the President and the Constiti tion, now being sought to bo ove: ridden and subverted by the etienne iff our common country. We eau see no good, hut much pr< bable harm, in giving expression t these sentiments. It is playing int the hands of the radical party, wit will use them and their tltteranc with great effect. We hope, for tl good of the common cause-that . restoring peace to the country tl Southern people will be as a unit . defence of the Constitution again radical plotters and Jacobins. L tin; dead past lay quietly in its res i ng place, and k-t us stowaway wi it nil sectional bitterness, or any th ii that would contribute to revive l liis we believe to be the sentime of the entire people of the South. faljournmcnl of Congres*. By reference to otlr telegraphic c bunn, it will be seen that both lions of Congress have agreed to adjou on Saturday next, the 28th instai ir is, therefore, probable that Gi Orr will issue his proclamation ii few days, calling the L?gislature this State to meet in extra HI M? early next month. Thc- State of flic Country. The country has readied a fearful j state of demoralization and disor- I g.-mizatiou. We scarcely opon an ex.- ! cliang" that does not neuron ?tspage* ? tho record of some crime. Murder, j robbery, arson, burglary, anti other J crimes not los? heinous, are terribly I prevalent throughout the land, and j society is moro unhinged aud demo? ralised than, we presume, ut any for mer period of her history. It is true, that war. especially civil war. almost always demoralizes the peo? ple, but wc were not prepared for such a general decline in virtue and morality as the country non- presents in every section. Not only have we mime in its most revolting form, but wo ?nive other indications of tko sad change to which we refer. Tim party organs of the radicals deal in nothing lint abuse of those opposed to them, no matter how elevated their position, and this foul language and studied misrepresentation furnish daily read? ing for hundred-; of thousands throughout the land. Forney's Chro? nicle, his Pre.<% thc Tribune and other sheets are rilled constantly with abuse of the President and all who support him; and to cap the climax, here comes a so-called Governor of a Stab in an official despatch, with terms of JJilingsgate applied to the Chief Ma? gistrate of tile land, that would shock the coarsest mimi in thc country. The civilized world will read this de? spatch with unmitigated disgust, ami will form a fair estimate of th.- cha? racter of a man who could r - snell language. lint these ure all signs thal our country is passing through an ordeal that will try her people as with tire. God is doubtless permitting her to be thus temporarily afflicted, humiliated and scourged for some wiso purpose in His good Providence, and. if this season of correction from His hand should fail to?ronse th" good ami the true of all se.-N, creeds and denomi? nations to the work of regeneration, we fear for the future of th" United States. Lot all, then, go to work, and show their faith b\ their works, in doing their full share in purging t he hind from corruption, whether it bc in lier high places or among tl?,-.>rdi nary classes ol' society. The rising generation requires this at our hands, for. if ive neglect i!, the future citizens of tho couutrj will be badly fitted for their dutie.? and responsibilities. Tl??- t allie-Telegrama from Km <-?>r A week will probably determim whether the general confidence en tertained that tho effort now beiuf made to lav tho cable '.. to bi- real i zed. A few facts we co lulen so from vari ons statements in our exchanges. Tin present cable differs from th.- old ii one or two particulars. Theoonduc tor in this is composed of seven cop per wires-six around one euch wir separated and embedded in a clu-nii cal compound, and ib.- winde sui rounded by layers of gutta percha, s as to form a core bali* an inch thick this, again, is still further protocto by ten iron u ires, each covered wit five, strands of Manilla yarn- th wires being laid spirally around 111 core. Tim company have established tari!! of charges forty words froi London to New York costing ahoi $300, and the cost to the daily pref of the country-forty words per ?la -will be about ?> 1,700 per week. TL Associated Press Committee ha. arranged for two daily reports, of m less than twenty words each, and ?1 many inore as the importun?e of tl news may justify. The difference of time lu-twee Londou and New York is about li\ hours in favor of the latter, and wi I allowa large margin for the reeeptio ! of news for the morning ami evenin ! journals.

We cannot trace it to any authentic source, and presume it was founded upon a telegram to the Cincinnati Uazeth:, which will lie fuiiuil in our news column. The wide-spread, well-founded and in tense dissatisfaction which is felt at the management of our State affairs, is calculated not only to give cur? rency to snell rumors, hut to excite the wish that it might 1><- true. We dono: .iceni it probable, however, that such a step is in contemplation. In the House, there was no quorum. Mr. Jarvis und others presented a protest against the so-called passage of the constitutional amendment. It vus not admitted to the journals, he cause there is no journal of a regular, c. ni ditntionull-orgauized House.
