New. York, Oct- 23.--The Herald’s Jack- son, Mississippi, correspondent, presents an unfavorabl e state of affairs. The State legislature, which met last Mon day, has some difficult work before it, the worst of which is probably, the revocation of State ordinances, which were in a shocking condition. The debt of the commonwealth is iarge, and though many of the people favored a second resort to repudiation; it is thought that Mississippi has had enough of this, and will not try it again, except so fur as regards that portion of her indebtedness contracted to assist the Confederacy, all of which it is believed Will be ignored. b» n. Another knotty question with which the members will have to deal is that relating to the • admission of negro Testimony in the courts, i Amajorify of them are said- to be in flavor of Governor Sharkey, who insists upoh the position of United States ‘ Senator, and: Joy their choosing as State printer a gen tleman who favors it. These are only two of the j difficulties which this legislature will have to wrestle with. r .j- r As industry generally .throughout .the State has been paralyzed. by the war, there is a great lack of the native energy necessary to resustitate a better condition of things. Some practical but cruel jqkcs are being perpetra ted ion (ho MissRsjppi negros, with the story that on Christmas day the . government in tends to give each one of them a tract of land, and hence many of them refuse to en ter into contracts with the planters for a pe riod -extending-beyond that time. ’i From Mexico.., New) Vork, Oct. . 23.—Official documents frotn Mexican agents' of 1 the government of the|republic of Mexico, are published this morning? strongly protesting’ngainst tho im perial invasion of that .country, and warning citizens of the United States, as well as of other . countries, against the validity of the grants made to them by Maximilian, of rail road, .tefrgraph, mining and other internal improvement monopolies.’,,. j '.“New York; Get; 28.—The steamer-Liberty brings Havana dates to the 18th, ; , Mexican advicca,from Vera .Cruz to the 15th had beep, received at Havana.

New York, Oct.23,-—-The JTereiJeVs Raleigh correspondent says of the North Carolina Con vention: ni”' ■ If . .. • A singular announcement was made by the chairman to ; thc effect that after diligent search, lie was unable to procure a national flag to hoist over the Capitol, and had to send to New York for one. The timely receipt of a telegram from Pres ident Johnson, says that' North Carolina should at once repudiate qvery dollar of in- deptedness contracted to assist the rebellion, and prevented the staying off by secession of members, a vote on tlie ordinance completely ignoring that dept, as they had tlieir plans already laid for the purpose, but upon readr ing the President’s dispatch, the ordinance was taken up and passed amid great cheering and enthusiasm, there being but a few dissent ing votes, -a mil ' ' • //. The proposed amendment, to submit to a vote of the people was not adopted. The ordinance which was not passed for the organization in some of the counties of S military force to suppress outlawry, has, it is understood, the approval of the national military authorities. ‘ Resolutions were adopted., requesting the president to restore to the people of North Carolina all their old constitutional rights, and remove the military and transfer the poto- ers to the civil authorities. 1)1 Emigration to the South. The Washington Constitutional Union of the 20th inst., speaks thus of foreign emigra tion to the South, and its effects upon the country: . The tide of foreign emigration has poured [its first wave upon the South in the shape of a number of Danes, ; wIio entered Virginia rc- cently td make I that:’commonwealth their fu ture jipme;; We are rejoipefl to see this. The white population of Virginia is small, and, through the effects of the late war, has been uery much reduced. At no time was it as large as the actual necessities of the case de manded. The resources of this State are far superior in number and availability of devel opment to any other State, in the Union, and hitherto they have scarcely been touched.— The mineral wealth of the State far exceeds any other—the soil is most admirably adapt ed for cultivation, and is exceedingly fertile, while water power for manufactories, and tbe- fihest harbors for commercial purposes on this * continent combine-to render Virginia one of the most favored spots on earth. Population only is wanted to use these advantages. • The emigsation to the South will also-settle finally that much mooted question, what shall be done with the negro 7 It is clear to those who have studied the negro etbnologically that he and the Caucassian race cannot livo in the same society upon even politi cal, much less social equality.. If the whites are numerically equal or superior, the ne gro is cither enslaved or exterminated.— In this case lie will be exterminated.' He will -be driven out ofithe country. Buch wiil be his, fata, and that here and there can be found one superior in stamina of charac ter or force of intellect to the great body of tbe race will not affect the general result,— Encourage emigration and we get rid of the negro. Let the Southern people persevere in this good work so begun, and a few years will reward the. effort by the prosperity and suc cess which.will be so splendidly achieved. Massachusetts and Crime.—The frequen cy of murders of the most unnatural and hor rid character in Massachusetts, is hut tho le gitimate result of the infernal fanaticisms of which that State has been the prolific and debauched mother. Wives poisoning and cutting the throats of their husbands—hus bands murdering their wives by the most subtle as well as diabolical mcaur.—infidelity, shameless, open and secret, to the bonds oi' matrimony by both—children murdered by parents, and parents by children—women and girls ravished and murdered within sight of cities and public thoroughfares— burglary, robbery, incendiarism, and the whole catalogue of inferior crimes, make up the devilish veDgcance that has overtaken a people, who, from the first settlements upon this continent, have^een the lean .and lank; vigilant and never-tiring promulgators of fanaticism, disturbers of peace and public virtue, and ungenerous, cruel, unforgiving tyrants, whose chief delight has seemed to be only to destroy that wTiich is peaceful and good to all men, to rob their neighbor of everything which a well dispos ed community may justly value, and to sow discord, contention, strife and ill-will where- ever their deviltry could be made effective. But recently, at Dedham, Massachusetts, a wife arose at night and first shot and killed her daughter, then her husband, and then herself- The usual Puritan plea of insanity is set up—-a plea thatmight save the necks of the Massachusetts fanatical Puritans.—JVeie York Worldl • representatives 1 have.. Been treated with i concealed dislike, and in some instances with contempt. .

He is doubtless aware of the op position he will meet with in congress from the speculators, but the great iuterests of a nation are not to be sacrificed to the selfish ness, of a few individuals.; It is an important and significant fact that the leading hankers of the country urge the secretary to contract the currency rather than to extend in Jay Cooke, the eminent financial agent of the govern ment (in the sale of its loans) advocates a speedy resumption of specie 'payments—that is-within a year from this time. Very much depends upon congress, but the secretary of the.tre^ary. will be very decided in his re commendations on this subject. The presi dent is with him most heartily, I hear, on the question of making the paper currency re deemable in coin. pgf* The telegraph department of the Rus sian government has fixed the condition up on which the lines across that country may be put up. The government grants the exclu sive right to the Company for the transmis sion of dispatches between Russia and Ameri ca for thirty-three years, and grants them an allowance of forty per cent, on the net pro duce of all dispatches. ET TheWirz trial, it is estimated, will cost the government at least one hundred thousand dollars.
