THE NEW YORK SUN.
THURSDAY MORNING, AUGUST 8, 1866.



1nB bitterness manifested toward the Govern
rneni by large class Of the late rebels Ia regarded
by many persons In the North as evidence that The
spirit Of rebellion still fingers, and may st some
future Tins again "hre the Southern heart" IL
Ia no, strange that the conduct Of tho souihern
people In some localities should lead TO such fore
bodings At the North. Many o. them are sppa-
rently A. implscably hostile 70 the Governments 81
tho pr rsent time, they were during TIC sc'ua
progres, Of the war, and tbey seemingly have no
Gisoo-ilon to disguise their anipsthy bu' "hiio
the course Of tho late retea is 10 very bad TASTE
c~nmjering the degree Of lonienoy win which they
have been uc,iel, II msy be explained on more
satisfactory hypothess than that OF any vi ehor
purpose sgains. ito GOvcrum mt We 81 The

our own STANDARD, and to expect from tie
tao rebels the same evidence OF sincere
brady that ~ manifested ners We sec
rs. .ho people OF the North are willing 10 for
ret tie past W JON hands with tho South Ia the
great work now before the country, and We expect
tic SANE cordial feeling TO animate the late rebels
To circumstances in tie two cases however, are
rsdicIlly different and little reelection upon them
will show tha. there Ia no Cause for sppreheusion
In Consequence Of the seeming d.safection At the
South. The Northern people feel that they hsvs
aci loved he greatest military triumph Of modern
tmos; that they have called forth tLo admiration
Of the world. and that they bsvo most gloriousy
vindlcated the honor Of their flag and maintained
fhe integrity Of the Union. Coming out Of The
contest thus VIGOROUSLY, It is natural that they
should feel generous and magnanimous toward Ihe
South, lut u IL not natural that the latter should
feel - kindly dspysed. The late rebel, remember
how they tainted and jeerod 81 tho North in
ahe early part Of the war how they rdi-
culcd tho attempt n " mudsills" and "groasy me-
chauics" W cope with the chivalry" the hold IL
