Thc New York World yields to the necessity- of the South at once ac? cepting the reconstruction hill now as a law of the land. We extract the following from an article iu its co? lumns : But while there is no possibility of its repeal without such a wide-spread and stable alteration of Northern opi? nion as will insure control of the Se? nate, a chango in any one Southern State of white votes enough to make a majority witli the negroes, will re? lievo that State from martial law, if Congress keeps its promise. The weight and power of the excluded States for purpose of resistance de? pends on perfect unity among their white inhabitants and unity among all tin- States. But to escape martial law by compliance recprires no co- ! operation, since each State can act for itself without regard to the others, and in States where the negro popu? lation is large, a small defection will ? turn the scale. We conclude, there? fore, that a mode of escape from j martial law which requires the con? version of a distant hostile commu? nity, tin1 co-operation of many States, and time enough to change the poli? tical complexion of tho Senate, is less likely to prevail than one which re? quires fewer conversions, ito co-ope-1 ration and comparatively little tin^>. The probabilities, as we estinfcte them, incline strongly t<> ultimate submission on the part of the South. If this estimate be not mistaken, good policy requires that thc submis? sion should be prompt enough to prevent tho radicals getting control of the new State organization?. Tho planters can control thc negro vote if they begin in season; and by accept? ing tit once what they will be con? strained to submit to at hist, they can help their friends at the North to elect the ucxt President, and rescue the Government from radical domi? neering and insolence. This exposition of the political situation is such as we would gladly have forborne if fidelity to truth and the responsibility which attaches to a public journal, which we should be loath to think without - influence, did not constrain us. If our Southern friends arc in a den of cut-throats that has only one opening for escape, wo do not create the surrounding horrors by carrying in a friendly torch, but only disclose them. The New York Tribune points out tl ie President as the great rebel, lt says : The reconstruction bill is disre? garded by the President. March 5, three days after it was made a law by Congress, a municipal election was held in Alexandria. Va., at which legal voters were excluded on account of color. Nothing could be plainer than the terms of the law, nothing moro absolute than the right of co? lored men to vote in Alexandria last Tuesday. The refusal of the judges of flections to receive their ballots ? was an insolent defiance of the law. i the desperate act of men who knew 1 themselves to be a minority, and who | elected a rebel mayor by denying loyal men their rights. In Alexan dria, OOO men voted for the rebel 1 candidates; there were 56 radical I white and more than 1,000 colored voters. The latter, excluded from the regular polls, voted at polls of their own; but while tin1 result is a clear radical majority, the rebel can? didate for mayor, Hugh Latham, is declared elected. The law declares that its provisions shall apply to "all elections to any office." it makes no exceptions, fixes no distant day for its provisions to go into operation; it took effect from the moment ol' its passage, and .Mr. Johnson was as much bound to obey it last Tuesday as ho would be a year hence. We are told, but eau scarcely believe, that the Attorney General of the United States is of the opinion that the President was not required to prevent this outrage, because a military commander has j not been appointed in the district of I which Virginia is a part. Nor do we so much care that the rebid voters of Alexandria disobeyed the law. for that is an offence which injures but ! ' 1,000 citizens; we look at the disre- j. gard of the law by Andrew Johnson I : as a matter which affects the nation. ; The National Intelligencer approves j that thc: South has made the mistake of consulting too little the require- I me lts of public opinion at the North, j lt can only be restored tit its rights > under thc Constitution by overcoat- | ing a hostile public opinion, and it must be remembered that the opi- I nion is hostile, not because there is | resentment and a desire to humiliate the vanquished prevailing in the Northern mind, but because it has been created by the machinations of demagogues who have steadily mis? represented the South. The political salvation of tho South can only be effected by revolution? izing the public opinion of the North; by disabusing the Northern mind of the false impressions it entertains of the temper and feelings of the South? ern people. To that duty should the leaders of Southern sentiment ad? dress themselves. It may be said that this is humiliating. But the answer is simple-it is the fortune of war. How this is to be done is a question for those who are most af? fected by it. But it cannot be done by putting forward the leaders ot' the rebellion; bj* legislation which dis? criminates against the blacks; by I various other circumstances which j we might specify. We can say this, j we hope, without la ing misunder- ; stood. We say it denouncing tho state of feeling which refuses to be | true to tito fundamental idea of our! institutions -self government - be cause applied to rebels. We say it 1 while despising thc demagogues who ! have betrayed the nation into a vio? lation of its plighted faith. We say it while mourning over rite national want of magnanimity which permits Congress to impose unworthy exac? tions upon a vanquished people, and while insisting that the Constitution, in all its integrity, should be applied to every citix n, no matter what his antecedents, "ho, in good faith, re? cognizes its supremacy and obeys the laws made in pursuance thereof. But the North to-day is very much in the position of the L-renchman with Iiis deposit in a bank, about which there wen- damaging rumors: "If you got him, I no want him; but if you no got him, I want him." GOOD SUGGESTION.'--The New Or? leans Times having been interrogated by some parties desiring to go to Mexico, responds as follows: A correspondent informs us that he and several other young men, who live at no very great distance from this city, have concluded to go to Mexico, and are anxious to be in? formed as to the best way of iret ting there. Our advice to them is, that the best thing for them to do is to remain just where they are. Going to Mexico is no child's play, at pre? sent, and remaining there after the passage is accomplished is more than most men would be willing to attempt. Tho prospect here is not altogether satisfactory, but in Mexico it is infi? nitely worse There is no stability there, no security for life or property, but on the contrary, a chronic state of disturbance, which affects all classes of society, and particularly strangers, wdio are looked upon with most intense prejudice. Our young friends bad better stop al home, anil assist, as far as possible, in the regu? lation of our own affairs. RADICAL IMPV DENCE.-A Tennessee radical having called on Presiden! Johnson, a few days ugo, to beg foi an office, that high functionary pre sented the mendicant with a copy o the following resolution, passed in the Brownlow Convention last month of which he was a prominent mem ber: "1 i. That we cover our faces wit! shame when we contemplate the dis grace brought upon our belove* State by the defection and degenc racy of ber unprincipled adopte! son, who. by the bullet of an assas? sin, luis ascended to the Chief Mags Itracy of the nation; and we shll cordially endorse any action of Gn gress which shall legitimately depr^c him of continued power to disturb the peace of the country." An attorney who wished to sow his smartness by quizzing an old ? farmer at an election dinner, bgau . asking him if there were many ??rls I in the neighborhood. "Yes, tl^re't: a dreadful sight of 'em," replie th? old man; "so many that thenain'l half enough respectable husband hu 'em all, and so some of 'em &? be ginning to take up with lawyer." Products of thc South. A correspondent of the Now York I Empress writes: I write, having noticed in your pa- j >er of Saturday au article beaded "Excitement in Schuylkill. Pa." You remark: "Black band iron ore. hitherto a stranger to all iron mines ! in this country," &c, ?vc. I think! you aro iu error in this. I think there j is ono of this character in North | Carolina. In I860, traveling there, ll mot with a Scotch gentleman, who' said ho had boon an iron-master, working thc ort; of this kind in Scot laud. Ile had been out-to this coun? try-tho previous year, and had dis? covered this ore in North Carolina. He returned to his home, and pre? pared himself to again visit this coun? try-aud it was on this second visit I j mot him. He said he had brought out tools and workmen, had pur? chased a tract of laud and com? menced to work this on1, and that it proved not only good, but superior to the best Scotch. He stated that asquare bar of one inch would sustain so much weight-I tlo not now remember the amount tho American Black band of tho same size would sustain a much greater ? weight. Ho further said, tin1 Scotch Black band iron was, ?it that time, worth S*27 per ton in Now Yolk, in : tho pig, and that he would be willing! to enter into a contract to furnish the 1 iron in pig, and deliver at a shipping port of North Carolina, for the price af Sr? per ton, aud guarantee the iron af superior quality to any imported. I understood that lie had built a fur- I nace on the traci he hud bought. Ile ! -tated that thi- oro was overlaid with i i strata of c >als some two feet in ! thickness, so tint he had the coals hu- smelting t ie?ko, and little expense its to carting. In fact, the coal and ore could be shoveled into the fur? nace, and from the bed. It may have been a failure, as the war commenced shortly afterwards, and I have heard no more of it. I . am in no way interested, other than I in developing the wealth of our coun? try-but L have frequently remarked that the South was, in my view, the richest in mineral wealth of any por? tion of the old States. These lands could have been bought, in I860, for So td SlOperacre. There is, however, good lands to be had for S5, and oven less, and all that is re? quired is capital, energy and labor. No finer climate exists, not even in Italy, than in North Carolina-having soon a little of both. With these, and free labor, ten years would not pass before North Carolina would be worth millions more than even before the war. The soil is good-I would al? most say virgin soil, as it has seldom boon touched. In most parts of it, it is m >re or less overlaid by a strata of sand, t hen loam-a planter seldom venturing to put the plow in this yel? low dirt: yet all tho fertilizers he and generations may have used, has been bl ushed through the sand, and stored in this loam. Tfcere is an abundant fertilizer thor', in the shell marsh which abounds. This, ton for ton, isequal, if nut superior, to the best guano, and may bo had for the digging and carting- In many localit ies, it is con? ven.cut for shipping, andmay be had, del vorod on board a vessel, for ?5 or SOper ton. It differs from guano in tint ii does not spend itself in one crop or one season, as does guano bit it will continue, and, year after y ar, it will grow bettor for at least, fcur or five years, without any addi ti>n. and may thou be cropped for as ....any more years before the land can le reduced to the low point it was eben this fertilizer was applied. Stir up the young men to leave our .rowded cities and marts, and go ?diere they may, to a certainty, .'md anployment, and, by perseverance, ndustry mid economy, in a few years, ?ot only become well-to-do farmers >r planters, but men of influence. There are vast forests, also, of timber suitable for ship-building, as well as ur houses, naval stores, good hur? lers, navigable rivers, water power, .?te. Say to our young men: "Why itand you here idle all the day?" A WHITE MULE.-A friend told us .ecently of an amusing scene he wit lessed lately at the old river ford, iear Nachitoches, in this State. A ?egro had a wagon and a team of six nulos which he wished to drive across. Tho two lead mules took kindly to ho water, but one ol' tho hind ones, i white mule, obstinately refused to uitor tho stream. Jumping from his ;eat in a furious passion, the teamster logan boating tho perverse one with night and main, exclaiming, between ho blows, "You think you's white, loos you? But I'll show you dam piiek colored mules is as good as rou is. Gee up!" [New Orleans Crescent. SPECIAL NOTICES. ! SPUK \r> TilK TRUTH.-Some medi? cal men insist that it is undignified to ad vertise a remedy, however valuable it may he. Queer reasoning this.
