The election is over, and the people oil North Carolina, or those, at least, who voted, have deeided whether Mr. Worth or Mr. Hold en is their choice. At the time of writing this Thursday afternoon we, of course, know nothing -. to the result; but we may express the hope that "William W. Hold hn has not been elected to the high and responsible position of Governor of this State. We were sorry to observe, on yesterday, that there was too much apathy ; too great a want of interest shown by many of Ihose who were evidently not the friends of Mr. Holpex ; and we here venture the predic- tion, that if he has been elected to the .r- i a : . i ..i...i ijrUDcrnaionai cuiur, 11 uas not iwuiivm nuui juiv endorsement of him or 1m position by the voters of North Carolina. We cannot sav how it has been in other Counties, but . 1 1 i, r.-fnirnrl in we observed here that many refused to .., , , i. . r qualify themselves for voting, and many of those wno nad quanneu tneraseives previ- ously; refused to vote at all. The entire vote polled in the State, will. we imagine, be a small one; and it may be yerv atmospherc of liberty, by a man shel that this may ensure the election of Mr. Hol- terJd under thc Egis of a Constitution that dk. But if the people have voted in any cuaranteed religious freedom, educated in thing like their usual strength, we entertain regretted that, in so important an election, mere was so grcai a uegrec oi incunerence. However, it is over, and no speculations or comments can now change the result. If Mr. Worth has been elected, we believe civil rule will soon -be re-established throughout the State; and if, on the contrary, Mr. Hol der has been the fortunate competitor, and his friends are correct in their estimate of his popularity with thc authorities at nasnington, men may we iook ior unioiu blessings to become the portion of our good old State. AVe believe now, as we have be lieved heretofore, that Mr. Worth: could ac complish more for us than Mr. Holdkn ; but we shall soon know who is elected and what degree of influence he can exercise in behalf of North Carolina. - The struggle having terminated, let us go to work harmoniously and energetically, and do what we can towards restoring our State to her former position of wealth and pros perity. Notwithstanding all our sufferings and all our losses, we trust that a brighter future a wait us than many of us anticipate. ' FRED. DOUGLAS. "Mr. Fred. Douglas is verv much excited ever the reconstruction policy of President Johnson, and makes a speech in which he gives vent to all the concentrated indigna tion of his vengeful spirit. He thinks Mr. Davis a great criminal, but has no idea that he will ever be punished, and savs "Jeff" is only waiting to come under the head of the twenty thousand dollar pardon.

MILITARY INTERFERENCE WITH THE CHURCHES. Gen. Tuomas' order closing the Episcopal Churches in Alabama and forbidding, the clergy of that denomination to exercise their functions, has been countermanded by the President himself. Our readers doubtless re member, says the Metropolitan, Record, that the xcuse for this high-handed outrage was the refusal of Bishop Wilmer to order prayers to be offered up for the President throughout hU tVinrw while the State crroaned under m;i;f.,w Th, lP.Wir! nnthoritins t t ' , x - uie Pseopiu iiuruu in tm vu.uj scribed a form of prayer to be used -for the bly ghot 'w B Wilkissox, bf Lauderdale coun Preaidcnt and those in cri7authority, which ty, was murdered by his former slave on Sunday Bishojj Wilmer deemed inapplicable and in- nnnrnlr(, ihmfnm iWlinPfl tn iip A.i a i, ' 11 anA tmW A "Vr, nnn rn i , , " i ' reasonaniy fc cxpccicu 10 ueaire a ioni cou- . . .... ... tinuance ot military rule, 7 lie bUbstitutecl no prayer for the one laid aside.

It is said, on the same authority, that the Pres ident will not submit to the exclusion from Con gress of the Southern members, as proposed by the Radicals. His message will distinctly an nounce those States as being in the Union, and entitled to full representation. The President will not recognize the right of the members from the Northern States to exclude the members from the Southern States. This determination of the President having become known to-day, causes some wavering on the part of the Radicals. The singular dilatory conduct of Governor I 0 Hamilton of Texas in regard to the Convention and election in that State, arises from his mauoe- vres to procure his election as Governor. Iutelli- gence just received from that State shows a move ment which' will probably be successful to elect 7. - , . . as Governor, Senators and Representatives to Congress, men who have always been identified with the Interests of Texas.

The papers give the particulars re garding the negro rebellion in Jamaica. The citv of Kingston is in a great state of excitement. Business is entirely suspended, and the entire population have placed themselves in a state of defense. One band of negroes, numbering 800 men, thoroughly organized, are represented as sweeping everything before the.m. The Kingston and other volunteers had pressed forward brave ly and assiduously, capturing several prisoners, who were sent to Kingston, lion. Baron Von Kettlebach, one of the officials in St. Thomas, Dr. Gerard, Charles Atstiiony Price, Stephen Cooke and Rev. Mr. IIekschell have been killed.

Female Extravagance in Dre f From the Round Table. 1 There is no sign of the times more full ol dread omen to the nation than thc unbouml ed extravagance of women. Their rcckVj, desire for, prodigal display is both hhaimfj and astounding. They riot in wanton vm, seeming.without afc thought for cither pro' priety or decency. It is a disgrace to th taste of the country,' 'dishonor to the m. . who ; nave- w w uuuie ui-I.j, and ft reproach to .every .woman in the Unj who in any 'way' countenances the wick. -i contagion."

Twice every year the ; follower t,f so-called fashion were wont to attt n-l at special displays o'f the milliners and mllt, ,t and learn there what they wero to wmr t!,,' ensuing season. -Many of the most refme. 1 in thc land thought it no disgrace to wrk. instructions mthe arts of French courte.an who are in reality makers of the fashion that are so lavishly adopted-in this country. With scarcely a thought they yielded sui, serviency toa land wholly alien to ih jn morals, religion, political and social life, an.l not the least of all, in climate. Hut it li.l not seem that so much of imitation, nrkli waste and useless display could possibly sur yivc the sad discipline of a great war: ' Ami when our literature came out of the onlcal clothed with the noble life and in sturdier "form, it gave cause for hope -that the taste and habits of. the women of thc land would also be of .a purer and more provident char acter., -How delusive was thc hope, the wild dissipations of the past summer, and the rush at the' recent : tlispla's of the fashion mongers, too Well -attest.

But while thc procession of death was yet filing past with cripples , and bereaved homes, and sights and sounds ol pain on every hand the servility of lor rowed fashion, and thc shamelessnesA of un accountable riot, began their round anew. We look back upon the reason of pleasure now ended with shame and rcgrcK hanie that the. women of' thc country should mani fest-0 little regard for the lessons of the hour, and regret that 'they did not set .1 nobler example of economy and good ta-t .
