Important Letter from the President
to Gov. Sharkey Of Mississippi.

OOVerHOr Onarkey, OF MISSISSIPPI, puDlSheS
the following letter from President johnson:
1t is believed there can be organized in each
county force of citizen militia to preserve or
der and enforce the civil authorities of the
State, and of the United States which would
enable the federal government to reduce the
army and withdraw, to a great extent, the
forces from the State, thereby reducing the
enormous expenses of the government.
If there is any danger from an organization
of the citizens for the purpose indicated, the
military are there to- suppress, on the first ap-
pearance, any move insurrectionary in its
character. One great object is to induce the
people to come forward in defence of the
State and Federal Governments. General
Washington declared that the people, or the
militia, was the arm Of the constitution, or the
arm OF the United States, and, as soon as it is
practicable, the original design of the gov
eminent should be resumed under the prin-
clples of the great charter of freedom handed
down to the people by the founder of the re-
public. The people must be trusted with
their government, 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 General Carl Schurz's mission
to the South was to aid as much as practicable
in carrying out the policy adopted BY the gov
eminent for res oring the States to their former
relations with the federal government. It is
hoped such aid has been given. The procla-
nation authorizing the restoration of State
government requires the military to aid the
Provisional Governor in the performance of
his duties as prescribed in the proclamation,
and in no manner to interfere or throw i'm
pediments in the way of the consummation Of
the object Of his appointment at least without
advising the government of the intende in
reference ANDREW JOHNSON.

At noon Wednesday, the steamer Little

Navy Yard, in charge of Lieut.. Commander

The rates of wages for the workmen in the

September, and by the schedule adopted by
the commandant and approved by the Bureau
of Yards and docks, at least one-half of the
workmen have had their pay reduced, the
laborers and helpers receiving now rs cents
less than the old rates, making now So, $1.75
and $3.50 per day. The wages of coopers,
joiners, and bricklayers, including stone ma

hereafter, the rates will be determined on from
reports from employees outside, who monthly
fill up the blanks in schedule circular with
the rates they pay, which, as heretofore, will
receive first the approval of the Department.

fenced by "a court-martial to undergo an i'm
prisonment of three years, and to pay fine
Of one thousand dollars, for violating his oath

and protection at the same time he solicited
and received from jeff. Davis & Co. priva-
teers commission and just previous to the fall

anything they will most certainly find it; and
there is money in this-more indeed, than in
any job outside of the war that was ever man
aged in Washington. He can end the rob-
berry by ending the system-by pardoning all

the rest go. This will certainly be done in

General News.

Thaddeus Stevens delivered speech at the
Court House, at Lancaster, Pennsylvania, a
few days ago. He rejoices over the successful
termination of the war, but is distressed, he
says, by passing events. He regards Presi-
dent Johnson's theory of reconstruction as
wholly wrong, and would have the South held
as conquered provinces. He declared himself
to be in favor Of confscating the property of
all Southerners worth over ten thousand dol
lars, who had, in any manner, committed
themselves to the prosecution of the war. He
estimated that this property would produce
sum of over three thousand millions of dollars,
which, he'proposed, should be.used to compen-
safe loyal men who lost property in the war,
to provide homes for negroes, to increase the
pensions of soldiers and towards iquidating
the public debt. He stated that this debt,
though usually estimated at four billions of
dollars, is far beyond that amount, and that
the annual expenditure will shortly be not
less than five hundred millions of dollars
He 'alluded to the plea for mercy to the
women and children of the South but argued
that such feelings should not be allowed to in
fuence us. He favored the most rigid en-
forcement of his doctrine, even if it should
drive all upon whom it operated into exile"
Finally, toward the close of his speech, he
"boldly avowed his belief that the very exist
ence of the Republican party depended up
on the rebel States being kept out of the
Union for while; their admission would
render the success of the Democrats inevi-
table,"
