GEN. SICKLEs' ORDERs.--We publish, in
another column. two important orders from Gen.
Sickles. These orders coming So fast, and
so unexpected, that confess we are aston
ished and surprised. notwithstanding the extra
ordinary circumstances by which we are sur
rounded Gen. Sickles, by his late orders, has
done more TO discourage the people and obstruct
reconstruction than nything that has occurred
since the passage of the Reconstruction Acts
AS an earnest friend of all measures to effect an
early restoration of the Union, we can only ex-
press regret
Instead of having two sets of officers it would
be better for the military to take entire control
of the Safe government, and thus at least save the
people the expense Of paying for an establ shment
that has been virtually superseded.

TIE REAsoN.-During the visit of the Pres-
dent to Raleigh last week. Northern gentleman
who happened to be in the City, asked friend
a Southern man-why the people did not cheer
more aud louder Our Southern friend replied
that it was because the people did not know
whether they had the right to cheer-General
Sickles had net issued an order giving them that
right, and they feared to open their mouths too
wide lest the General should throw another order
down their throats. We hope the explanation
will be satisfactory to all concerned.

TIE LEGIsLATURE.-We regret to that
the Raleigh Sentinel has changed its opinion
about the propriety of the Legislature re assem-
bling this Summer Some weeks ago the SEN
tine in a very sensible article, expressed the
opinion that the Legislature ought not to re-
assemble. which article copied and endorsed
bat we find in the Sentinel of last week an article
suggesting that the Legislature ought to meet for
the purpose of adopting measures to build a
Prnitentiary, and saying that Gen. Sickles is of
the opinion. We opposed TO the re-
assembling of the Legislature, because it will
cost fifty seventy-ive thousand dollars. and
because action ought to be taken by that body
in regard to building Penitentiary until we are
relieved from military rule and the oman
power. If Gen. Sickles wants Pententary
built let him issue order to that effect (he is
not afraid to issue orders), but don't let Us be-
little ourselves and waste the peoples money by
re-assembIiug the Legislature to voluntarily do
what majority of the tax payers of the State are
opposed tn doing. We advise a strict compliance
with all military orders but call on the people
to oppose the re-a>sembiing of the Legislature
and the useless expenditure Of thousands of
dollars of the public money. Let the memb ers
of the Legislature refuse to attend an extra SEES
sion this Summer. unless they ordered to d.
30 by Gen. Sickl-s.

THE WAYS OF THE WoRLD.-If Jacob john
sons son Andrew had never become President of
the United States. does any one believe that the
public would have erected monument in the
Raleigh Grave Yard to the memory of the former.
There was great gathering in Raleigh last
week. and great parade at the grave of jacob
johnson. whose last resting place has remained
in obscurity for many years past: but now that
his son is President. the respect is paid to his
memory which. no doubt, he was justly entitled
to long ago. Such are some of the ways of the
Eorid.
