WASHINGTON, November 25.-Owing to the
meagreness of the statementin the dispatch
from Mississippi, published Yesterday. pur-
porting to give the substance of President
Johnson's instructions to Governor Hum
phreys, the National Republican gives a full
copy of the dispatch as follows:
WAsHINGroN, November II, 1865.
To c. G. Humphreys, Gopeynor elect, jack
son, Mississippi:
The troops will be withdrawn from Miss
issippi when in the opinion of the Govern
| ment, peace and order and the civil author
ity has been restored, and can be maintain
ed without them. Every step will be taken
while they are there to- enforce strict disei-
| pline and subordinatiOn to civil authority.
| There can be no other or greater assurance
| given than has heretofore been on the part
OF the President or Government. There is
no concession required on the part of the
people of Mississippi or the Legislature
| other than loyal compliance with the
laws and Constitution of the United States,
and the adoption of such measures as will
give protection to all freemen in person or
property, without regard to color, such as
VIII entitle them to assume all Constitution
al rights in the Federal Union. The peo-
pie of Mississippi may feel well assured that
there is no disposition arbitrarily on the
part of the Government to dictate what ae-
hon should be had, but on the contrary to
simply and kindly advise a policy that is
believed will result in restoring all the re-
latiOns which should exist between the
States comprising the Federal Union. 1t is
hoped that they will appreciate and feel the
suggestions herein made, for they are offered |
in that spirit which should pervade the |
bosom of all those who desire peace and |
harmony and thorough restoration of the |
Union. There must be confidence between |
the Government and the States, and while |
the Government confides in the people, the |
people must have faith in the Government. |
This must be mutual and reciprocal or all |
that has been done will be thrown away.
ANDREW JOHNSON,
President of the United States
Visited the President.
Among those who called at the. executive
mansion to-day were 1t. Gen Grant, Mai.
Gen. Geary, Senator johnson of Arkan-
sas, who was 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 were also present urging
the claims of friends for amnesty. One Of
them was exceedingly earnest in behalf of
Harris Gilmore of Maryland. Mrs. Bishop,
daughter of the late rebel Secretary of the
Navy Mr.. Mallory, is here, endeavoring to
uDIdlu HeT ldLhefS release on parole. Be |
sides the above named visitors, some came
seeking office with no recommendations but
their own oral statements and claims to in
tense LOYALTY, while others had business of
so trifling a character that it could have
been attended to by the humblest servant
at the White House.
The Farragut Court Martial.
The members of the Farragut court mar I
Lial visited the rebel ram Stonewall to- day
Tor the purpose of inspecting her and trying
her sailing capacity, in connection with the
rial Of Commodore Craven, charged with .
ailing to engage the Stonewall in the har- !
Dor of Ferrol.
without Foundation
The statement that Judge McGrath and !
he rebel Secretary of War Seddon have t
'een released from Fort Pulaski, and Gov i
rnor Lubhaek from Fort Delaware, on pa
ole. is without foundation, and there is.no
that either will very soon be set 4
t liberty. d
