Owing to the mcagreness of the state.
ment in the dispatch: from Mississippi,
purporting tog!ve the substance Of Pres,
ident Johnson's instructions to Governor
Humphreys, VIC give by authority full
copy Of the dispatch, which is as follows;
WAsH1SGroS, November II, 1865.
B.. G. Humphreys Governor elect, Jack-
son, Mississippi.
The troops will be withdrawn from
Mississippi when in the opinion of the
Government, peace and order and the
civil authority has been restored, and can
i be maintained without them. Every step
will be taken while they are there to en-
force strict discipline and subordlnation
to the civil authority.
There can b no other or greater as
surance given Than has heretofore been
on the part of the President or Govern
mcnt. There isno concession required
on the part of the people of Mississippi
or the Legislature, other than a loyal
compliance with the laws and Constitu>
ton Of tho United States, and the adopt.
ion OF such measures giving protection to
all freedmen and fresmen, IN person and
property, without regard to color, as will
eritille them to resume all their copsti.
tutional relations in tho Federal Union.
The people Of Mississippi may feel we'll
assured that there Is no disposition arbi-
trarily on the part Of the Government to
dictate What action. should be had; but,
on the contrary, to simply and kindly
advise policy. that is believed will re-
suit in restoring all the relations which
should exist between. the States compos-
ing the Federal Union
1t is hoped they will feel and apprcci>
ate the suggestion herein madc-for they
are offered in that spirit which should
pervade the bosoni of all those who. dc,
sire peace and harmony and thorough
restoration of the Union
There must be confidence between the
Government and the States: while the
Government con6des in the people, the
people must have faitA IN the Govern
mcnt. This must he mutual and recipro-
cal, or all that has been done will be
thrown away. ANDREW JOHNSON, ,

OF the Chattanoo ga
Gazette.

"B1LL ARp."-The latest aspirant in
therarena Of comic () literature has
written letter published in the Nash~
vile Republican Of Sunday, in which he
lndulges in considerable groweing at some
things which do not suit hiTmip the re-
CONSTRUCTION Of the country Perhaps he
has right to do it, but we submit Bill,
that your attempts at "harlnopizing" are
notlikely to succeed. while you are in
dulging in such terms as calling the
Union men of the South "toriesR and
'sick hearted fellows" and the Union
men of the North "black republican
pups" Because you could not kill off
"your enemies as fast as they were I'M
ported, is no reason why you should keep
up ar i'll feeling, which true men are try
ing to smooth down. Do you expect to
better the matter by the use of such Ian
guage as this:
sI'm thankful I ANT black rcbubli-
can pup. Tm thankful that Thad Stc>
svens and Summer and Phillips nor none
of their kin amt no kin to me. I'm
thankful for the high privilege of latin
all such"
You undoubtedly have the privilege of
hating whom you please, but will quiet
ness ever come while you and those of
your friends who hate as you do.give
such expression to their feelings. Again
you say:
"Well, If the war is over, what's the
use ofilin up our towns and cities with
soldier any longer. Where's your re-
kopstruttion that the papets say is going
on SO raidly?"
"Thenwhat's the soldiers here for
what gooa are they doin-who wants to
see 'em aty longer. EVERYBODY is tired
of the wal and VIC don't want to see any
more signi of it. The niggers don't
want 'em and the white men don't want
'em and fol the wimmin-whoopce."
Let lis ,sk you question: Who
brought the esoldier into your towns and
cites? In another place you use the fol-
lowing language. =.

To W. W. Holdrn, Provtsional Cove, nor:


Acccptmy thanks for the noble and
efficient manner in which. you have dis
charged your duty as provisioual Gov
ernor. You will be sustained by the
government. The results of the recent
elections in North Carolina; have greatly
damaged the prospects of the State, in
the restoration ofits governmental re-
lations. Should the action and spirit of
the Legislature be shown in the same
manner, it will greatly increase the mis-
chief already done, and might be fatal.
1t is hoped That the action and spirit
manifested. by the Legislature, viii be so
directed as rather to repair than to in
crease the difficulties utder which the
State has already placed itself.
