ANOTHER Ex-GovERNcK ON TIE SfTuATloS.-EA-
Governor McRae, of Mississippi, has written a
letter concerning the present condition of public
affair, at the South. After rehearshng the pol'l-
cal questions which led The South into contest OF
force with the General Government, he says that
The victory of the latter leaves the Southern o1a'es
M rights but such as the conqueror may choose TO
.,o thom. He thinks President Johnson has had
none but the best intentions in the policy he has
nrrsned but regrets that he did not call Congress
har in extra session rs soon rs the war was
over. and agree with that body on some policy OF
recon sruction, adapted TO the necessities of the
case. :.
He advises the people of Mississippi to submit
to-not accept-the terms of the military bill as
the best thing they can do, but would not advise
the freedmen to register or vote, unless it should
annear that bad men are likely to influence them
or lead them astray." He thinks they will net in
concert with the white citizens of the, South anu
saws TINT, although apprehensons were entertain
cd before the war that the slaves might rise IN
nsurrecton, but that they proved faithful through
that struggle.
In conclusion, he says all the people have now
TO do 10 to conform to the legiBation OF congress-
The letter is plain, straightforward recognition
of the present political situation at the South and
va hove no doubt but that its counselB and similar
advice from other Southern leading men, will gen.
.u.,,,, hs followed by the people of all classes

FROM WASHINGTON.

The Senate continues in executive session, and
since. it has not been able to ntimidate the Presi-
dentinto acquiescence with its demands relative to
the appointment of Radicals to vacant Offices at
tention is directed to the affairs of Mexico, and
other countries. We copy the proceedings of last
Saturday:
In the Senate, Mr. Sumner offered the following
resolution, proposing the good Offices of the United
States between the contending parties in Mexico :
Whereas, the Republic of Mexico, though re-
lieved from The presence of foreign enemy by
the hnal withdrawal of the French troops, contin-
ues to be convulsed by bloody civil war, in which
the Me1icans are ranged on opposite sides; and
whereas the United States are bound, by neighbor-
hood and republican sympathes, to do all in their
power for the welfare of the Mexican people, and
this obligation becomes more apparent from the
present condition of affairn, where each party is
embittered by protracted conflict therefore,
Resolved, That it is proper for the Government
Of the United States acting,in the interest of hu-
manity and Christianity, to tender its good Offices
by way of mediation between the contending par
ties of the Republic of Mexico, in order to arrest
ment of Republican Governmenton foundation
of peace and harmony.
| Mr.. Henderson gave notice of his intention of
offering amendment to the resolution
| Resotued, by the Senate of the United States.
That in case Macmillan shall, OF an early day. see
ftto abdicate his authority in Mexico, and shall
signify desire to withdraw himself and his foreign
troops from the country to the end that the civil
war may be terminated, the United States would
be gratifed that the. President would tender the
good Offices of our Government, to secure ut its
hands republican government in Mexico, and for
the native followers of Macmillan such mild and
humane terms as claracterizes the conduct of ali
civilized warfare.
The resolution and substitute we're laid on the
table and ordered to be printed.
Mr.. Cole submitted the following, which lie:
over:
Whereas, misunderstanding exists between
Prussia and France, springing out of the anne1a
tion Of the Grand Duchy of Lexemburg, and wal
between these powers is imminent; therefore,
RESOLVED, That the President of the United State,
be requested to offer its friendly mediation, to the
end that the effusion of blood may be avoided.
