I9 Ex-Governor Vance, of North Car
DINA in recent address before the literary
societies of the North Carolina University
spoke as follows: .
No monuments Of victory are for US, nj
national jubilee can we celebrate, no songs
of triumph can our maidens sing, or garland
Of glory weave; there is no welcoming
of returning conquerors; nor erecting Of tri
umphal arches for US to console US for ouI
great suffering. We are NIL alone with ou1
great defeat and that heavy sorrow which
never fitting. still is sitting in our house
hold; and all that we have left for our com
forts is the sad yet tender light which play;
around the memory OF those who died u
make it otherwise.

RESTORING HAaMosY.--t5en. Sheridan
has issued an order prohibiting, In his mill.
taFy department. the erection ofsny raonu-
ment "commemprating the rebellion that
is, VS. presume, of any memorial to the Con-
frderata dead. lie also prohibits the raor,
ganizatiou ofConlederate companieg bate,
ries, brigades, &C., for cry purpose what
ever"
We believe that General slier'dan's au-
thorty does not extend to this city, or to
any portion of Alabana. bit IL Issuing
such an order it is not to be supposed that
he acted without the iAspiratlon--oF ut
least without the knowledge ard consent
of the War Department 1t Is tair to
presume, therefore. that the same principle
will be applied, IN due course of time TO
other military departments in the South.
In order to understand the effect of the
latter part Of General Sheridan's order. it
must he remembered that some OF the old
Confederate observation-disclosures regi-
ments. battaions or companies-have reor
yanized themselves in New Orleans for the
charitable purpose Of affording relief to
sick, disabled. or needym mbers, and to the
wives and children Of the deceased. We
have not sesn nor heard Of reorganization
for any other purpose. This order efectu-
ally dispeses of such associations.
We do BOT yet know whether Inscriptions
| on the tombstones of the departed, com
nemofative of the part which they may
have taken in the late war, fall under the
prohibition of this order, or not. In any
case however. it's extension to Mobile will
defnitively settle the question OF the loca-
ton of the monument proposed by Miss
Evans. 1t will neither be permitted in
BienvilIe Square nor in the cemetery. but
must be erected, if anywhere, on foreign
soil.
| This order is singular commentary up
on the Presidents Proclamation Of Peace
but we have already had several Of the
same kind. 1t seems to be out of harmony
with the recent despatch of the Secretary
Of War to Gen. Thomas, to proposed mil
itary interference in Tennessee. 1t may be
suggestive, also to compare it with the
courteous communication lately sent to the
civil authorities Of this city by the Quarter
master General of the United States Army.
| The truth is, that we are altogether at a
loss to know whether our status is one OF
peace or war. President johnson declares
peace to be fully restored; the amnesty oath
intimates that there is an "existing rebel
lion; and the War Department appears to
decide questions Of doubt, sometimes on
one theory and sometimes on the other

The mails are beginning to bring back
the telegraphic dispatches sent of from
this city for the newspapers, during the riot
on Monday. They abound with unmitiga-
ted and atrocious falsehoods. There has
been, evidently. a concert among the do

Radical factionists here, to rush at once to
the wires and occupy the public ear with
the worst accounts conceivable, against the
people and the police Of the city, to cover
the.criines Of their fayorites. This lasted
