Tin: exodus from northCAROLINA.Tliwy Are Moving South ward.Last spring, we had the oommsuoe*ment of the Negro Exodus from North Carolina, which lias had atemporary lull for the few months of crop time when work wag in demandand wag*8 high. Now the Exodus isgoon to begin again, in more a’arra-ing proportions than ever: for it if said that ue irly seventy*five thou*-and have registered for imigrationSouthward. We do not believe that so large a number will go, yet thereis but little doubt that owing to the general failure of crop* in the State, there will he a large exodus.f i»e prediction of the Rkcobdkb that toe Negro Exodus would con* tinue until eventually they would spread over Mexico, Central aud South America, is being fulfilledmore quickly than we anticipated.Already schemes are on foot to set* tie colonies often and twenty thout* a tl iu the o-tton belt of Mexico.There is some opposition from the K unidi Priests, not on accmntof •h dr color to any degree, but on ac» count of their religion. So large animmigration of Protestants naturallyexcites their susp cion tint though American emmigratiou to Mexico may eventually become substantially Pr de'tant. The Drg'oe* are almost entirely Protest mt and belong to the evangelical churchss.

While tiie White Ex kIus is n »t on any or* gauiz *d pla i, and hence d ies not ap« pe irt) sight in such large propor-tio.ie as tiie negro exodus, yet it is ’•* ieved to be hut little inferior to it. Mm White Ex mJus wa« comment*! ou very freely at the college cMmm* cements last summer. At oee of our colleges, it w is the subject of an ad* dress by Mr. Josepus Daniels, of theState Chronicle.We do not propose to give any views is to the course of the Exodus. They are more th tu oue. Nor do we now propmeto suggest a remely, -veil if *e were competent. But it is time tha: attention was turned to this ubj ct. We can not stsud this steady dram on our resource* E«* p cislly i* this so. when every opinionthus far publicly uttered, has been decidedly adverse to immigrants from Cattle 0stden. The Farmers’ Alliance is something warm against thatcla*s cmiing South. What is theremedy?
