To go into more detail than the other answer, use dynamite, purification powder (from the Dryad), or a Nightmare or Molten pickaxe to reach the orbs through the Ebonstone that's in your way. After you destroy the Shadow Orb a meteor has a chance to fall. Once a meteor has fallen, go explore your world until you find it. Then - very carefully - mine the ore with a Gold+ pickaxe. :)
