EXECUTIVE OFFICE JACKSON Sept 8. 1865
To Co.. q. ". Yeryer, Editor Daily Neos !:
In this time of gloom and apprehension,
it is due to the President of the United
States-it is due to the poople-that should
publish dispatch received on the 30th ult
.-omitting only two lines of private
character. The people will see that they
may implicitly confde in the President,
and that he confidcs in and will trust them
for the protection of their own Govern
ment. They may confidently hope that,
under his wise and just policy, The day is
not distant when all the functions of civil
Government will be entirely restored under
the Constitution of tho United States.
Your obedient servant,
| (Signed) W. S. SHARKLEY,
Provisional Governor of Miss.
Eatract from the PRESIDENTS Dispatch.1
1t is believed that there can be organized
in the country force Of citizens of militia
to suppress crime, preserve order and en-
force tho civil authority Of the State and of
the United States, which would enable the
Federal Government to reduce the army
and withdraw to great extent the forco
from the States, thereby reducing the enor-
nous expense Of the Government. If there
was any danger FROM on organization of
the citizens, for the purposes indicated, the
military arc there TO detect and suppress,
on the first appearance, any move insurrec-
tionary in its character. One great object
is to induce the people to come forward in
the defence of the State and Federal Gov
crnment.
Gen. Washington decreed that the pco-
pie or the militia, was tho army of the Con-
stitution, or, the army of the United States;
and as soon as it is praiicticablo the ori-
ginal design of the government must be
resumed under the principles of the great
charter Of freedom handed down to tho
people by the founder of the Republic. The
people must be trusted with their govern
ment; and, if trusted, my opinion is that
they will act in good faith and restore their
former constitutional relations with all the
States composing the Union.
The main object of Major Gen. Carl
! Schurz's mission to the South was to aid as
far as practicable in carrying out the poll
cy adopted by the government for restoring
the States to their former relations with
the Federal government. 1t is hoped such
MD has been given. The proclamation
authorizing the restoration of State gov
crnment requires the military TO aid the
Provisional Governor in the performance
Of his duties, as prescribed in the procla.
nation and in no manner to interfere or
throw impediments in the way of consum-
mating the object of his appointment; at
least without advising the government of
the intended interference.
(Signed) ANDREW Johnson.
President United States.
Gen. Slocum has issued an order revok-
ing and recalling his order in opposition
to Gov. Sharkey's call for militia. The re-
cent acts CT the military authorities in this
State appear to hayo caused healthy re-
action at Washington. 1t is now rumored
as coming from high military ofIicial Is here,
that the troops are about congregating for
the purpose of being marched out of the
State. Great rejoicing among the people
The Post Of Alexandria, La, has been
abandoned or abolished, and the military
have been transferred to Pineville. Briga-
dier General Veatch has been relieveps as
