LETTER FROM GEN. POPE.
ST. Ldt1s, March g..

III AOU1SI mdAOA O.
A long letter, published this morning,
from General Pope in reply to Governor
Fletcher asking his views as to the best
uses Of the Federal military force In this
State and their relation to the present and
prospective condition of Missouri. The
General gives q candid review of the con-
dition of affairs ss he finds them, and sees
but little difficulty in the way of the re-
establishment of civil law, and urgently
recommends the peoplethroughout theSsa
to unite In active and vigorous measures
to bring about that end and rid themselves
of the present Provost Marshal system,
which if continued long, can only result in
great injury to the material interests of
the State, and the tscit sbrogstion of the
principle of self government. He does not
propose to abolish martial In the least un-
til effective civil machinery may be put in
operation throughout the State, but wish-
es the people to take immediate measures
to re-sssert their manhood, perform their
full duty as citizens, and restore peace and
order, and make the military subordinate
to the civil law. To this end he pledgesall
the assistance at his command, and hopes
to see civil rights, civil liberty and free
institutions speedily re-estsblIshed, so he
can withdraw the military forces from the
state and place them in position more
suitable to their taste, and where they can
be Of greater service in crushing the rebel
lion.
In this connection, Governor Fletcher
has issued proclamsmstion calling upon
all citizens to unite in devising and carry
ing out such measures as will speedily re-
store civil law, and enjoining all officers
of law to exercise their full functions with
the promise of military assistance when
needed.
