The Mississippi Militia i.

NEW YORK, Sept. 7-The Commercial
has a dispatch dated Jackson, Miss e,
Sept. 4th, which says Gen. Slocum has
issued an order, by direction of the Presi-
dent, epioining on his officers not to in-
terfere with the organization of the State
militia ordered by Provisional Governor
Shsrkey. This is directly the reverse OF
the determination of the Government
upon this subject, as reported few days
since, and is accounted for by the fact
that the Government is looking to the
gradual supersedure Of the Federal troops
by State militia, in order to diminish ma
tional expenses.
