GEN. TUPPER,s LETTER.

We give place to-day with pleasure to the letter
of General Topper the subject of The Militia"
And we do 40 with the greater pleasure because
some persons seem to have fallen into the OF
S-onfoundng Gen. Upper and the militia ~ stem
holding him responsible in great degree for the
law itself. Now. every man knows that the Legis-
nature passed the militia bill. AMI the Governor.
who is =. Commander-in-C Chief of the Army and Ma
Wy of Mississippi" approved it Whatever defects.
therefore there may be in that law. the Legislative
and Executive departments of the Government are
responsible for them. and not the Major General
whose duty alone it Is to execute the law under
the direction of the Commander-in-Chief
By n careful perusal of Gen. Tnpper's letter. and
his communication To the Mssissippian-whic will
also he found in toiay's paper-it viii be seen that
there is scarcely single point Of difference between
him aud the opponents of the militia law He full
~ agrees with them that the militia should not be
kept in the field to the detriment Of the provision
crops He agrees with them that all conscsipfs. up
10 the age Of ofy.fre should be in the Conf derdfe
s,rrics if the exigencies of the hour require IT, and
that the militia (those forty-fve) should be
.iisbanded, held only for police duty. The most
hnvcterete opponent then of militia system
can have quarrel with Gen. Upper.
A. TO any misrepresentation that may have been
iie in reference to tile number Of state troops
tually in the ieldfor the purpose Of retaining con-
scripts. any other purpose Seen. Topper high
character for prolity and honor forbds the suppo
siton that he made, caused to be made, any
zach.
I'm view Of the T ct. that large portion of our
@tate is overrun by the Yankees. and that we
seriously threatened ut several points.
patriot will dissent from Gen. Tnpper's opinion
that every man whose presence Is not absolutely
.secessary in the sid. should lie in the field of
military operations, defending his home and his
household gods.
Upon inquiry. learn that all fhe troops in this
Department. both State and Confederate. under
the control of Gen. Pemberton. and he is response
le for their movements. The militia of Gen. Win
tiers brigade ordered TO Walden by him, to
supply the place of Confederate troops ordered to
more important point, and that their presence at
Walden is supposed to he necessary to guard against
a aank movement Of the enemy in that direction.
