Cutting and pasting from trash to wherever it came from is the accepted proper way to restore a deleted folder. If you cut and paste the entire folder from trash it'll move all the sub-items back too.
You should however first delete your new "temporary" news folder - because if you paste another news folder next to this then you'll end up with "news" and "news-2" I think.
If you really don't want to do this then I can do it for you. But I think you have little to be afraid of really!
Thanks
