A despatch from jackson, Mississippi, datSd

nserciOl furniahas the 4e1le=:S extracts Of
a letter from President johnson, on the
subject of organizing, In each County of the
State force of citizen militia:
1t is believed there can be organized in
each County q force of citizen militia. to
preserve order and enforce the civil aushori-
ties OF the State and Of the United States.
which would enable the Federal Govern
ment 70 reduce the army, and withdraw, to
great extent, the forces from the State.
thereby reducing the enormous expenses of
the Government.
II there was any danger from on organi-
zatlon of the citizens for the purpose in
diceted, the military are there to suppress,
on the first appearance, any move insur-
rectlonary m its character. One great OBJ
lect is to induce the people to come forward
in the defeuee of the State and Federal
Governments. George 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 Government should
be resumed, under the principles of the
great charter of freedom handed down to
the people by the founders Of the republic
The people must be trusted With their go
yernment, and, if, trusted, my opinion is
they will act in good faith, and restore their
former Constitutional relations with all the
States composing the Union.
The main object Of Maior1General Carl
Schurzs mission to the South was to aid as
much as practicable, in carrying out the
policy adopted by the Government to restore
the States to their former relations with
aid has been given. The proclamation au-
thorizing the restoration of State Govern
ment requires the military to aid the Provi-
slOna1 Governor in the performance of his
duties, as prescribed in the proclamation.
and In no manner to interfere or throw i'm
pehmeuts in the way of the contamination
Of the object of his appointment, at least
without advising'th Government of the in

TIE POLITICIANS AND PRESIDENT JOHN
SONS CoAr-rAn.-The politicians in the
various States have for some time past been
trying to catch hold of President Johnzons
coat-tail.
They see him standing forth in bold relief,
enjoying the confidence of the public and
everywhere endorsed by the masses. Each
slde has been trying to get hold of him, in
order that it may reoaive--the benefit of
some OF his popularity. The New Jersey
Republicans tried it, but failed. The
Democracy made a grab, but took look
backwards and came short of their coveted
prizs. The Republicans of Pennsylvania
made desperate effort to accomplish this
point, bat had to spend so much time over
.he schemes of Cameron and Forney that
they too, failed to- get hold the President's
coat-tail The Democracy ached to capture
the prize, but sat down talking over the sscar-
dinal principles until the coat-tail of Mr..
Johnson was far out cf their reach, and we
dare say will be rewarded with defeat at the
POLLS The Ohio and the Western party
managers all made strong effort, but they.
too, have missed their mark The Maine
democracy came the nearest to accomplish
ing the. feat; but it was finally left to the
s;,ave.s5;ssss; al t;ii5 State to win
the prize. They have taken q full and
strong hold OF President Johnson's coat
are now marching under hfs guidance and
protection, much to the grief Of the Repub-
Leans who are mourning over the skillful
flank movement upon them which has. in
effect, finished them in this State. Their
organs are already weeping and mourning
over their lost opportunities.
