The Presidents Dispatch to Gov. Hum
martial.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Owing to the mea-
gerness of the statement in the dispatch from
Mississippi, published yesterday, purporting to
give the substance of President Iohnson7s in
structions to Gov. Humphreys, the National
Republican gives full copy Of the dispatch
as follows:
WASHINGTON. Nov. L. lS65.-To C. G..
Humphreys, Governor elect, Jackson, Mjssis-
sippi:-The troops will be withdrawn from
Mississippi when in the opinion Of the Govern
ment peace and order and the civil authority
has been restored and can be maintained with
| out them. Every step will be taken while,
they are there to enforce strict discipline and
subordlnation to the civil authority There
can be no other greater assurance given
| than has heretofore been on the part Of the
President or Government There is no conces-
sion required on the part of the people of Mis-
sssippi or the Legislature other than loyal
compliance with the laws and constitution OF
the United States, and the adoption of such
measures giving protection to all freedmen Or
| freemen in person and property, without re-
gard to color, as will enable them to resume
all their constitutional relations in the Federal
Union.
The people Of Mississippi may feel well as
sured that there is no disposition, arbitrarily,
on the part Of the Government to dictate what
action should be had but, on the contrary, to
simply and kindly advise the policy that is be-
leved will result in restoring all the relations
which should exist between the States COM
prising the Federal Union. 1t is hoped that
they will appreciate and feel the suggestions
herein made, for they are offered in spirit
that should pervade the bosom Of all those
who desire peace and harmony and q thorough
restoration of the Union. There must be con-
fdence between the Government and tho
States, and while the Government confides in
people, the people must. have faith in the Gov
eminent. This must be mutual and reciprocal
Oh all that has been done will be thrown away

called at the Executive Mansion to-day, were
Gen. Grant, Gen. Garry and Senator johnson
of Arkansas who was a member of the United
States Senate with President johnson, and who
is now seeking pardon for his participation in
the rebellion, and Speaker Colfax. A number
Of ladies also paid the President visit for the
purpose of urging the claims Of their friends to
the benefits of the amnesty proclamation.
Mrs. Bishop, daughter of the rebel Sec
rotary of the Navy had an interview with the
President relative to the property belonging to
her family.
Besides the above named persons, many are
here seeking Office with no recommendations
but their own verbal statements, and claims to
intense loyalty, while others had business of
such trit1ing character, that it could have been
attended to by the humblest servant at the
White House.
The members ofthe Farragut Court visited
the rebel ram Stonewall to-day, tor the pur-
pose of inspecting her and trying her sailing
capacity in order to elicit testimony relating to
the trial of Commodore Craven.
The Star says the statement that Judge Ma
crath and the rebel Secretary of Wa, Scddon,
We, I,...sr r..I.-a T'ulnssi, and
Gov Hubbard from Fort Delaware parole,
is without foundation, and there is no proba-
bility that either Of them will soon be set at
liberty
