By Telesx*apli. From :*I?ssKs?i>?)?. CINCINNATI, September 7.-Thc Commercial, of to-day, has a despatch dated Jackson, Miss., September 4, saying Gen. Slocum has issued an order hy direction of the President, enjoining upon Lis officers not to in? terfere with th? organization of the State militia ordered by Provisional Governor Sharkey. Gen. Slocum^ order is considered to be of great importauce, as fixing definitely the policy of reconstruction to be followed in Mississippi. m_* Interesting from Mexico. NEW YOKK, September 8.-The steamship Manhattan, from Vera Cruz on the 23d ult., via Havana on the 2d inst., brought despatches containing news from Mexico of interest. Affairs in that country continue in a very confused condition, and it appears almost impossible to arrive at the real status of matters. Tho Republicans had been driven out of the town of Tehuacan, ami the Imperialists were unsophisticatedly chuckling over the supposed material reduction of Gen. Sheridan's military force in Texas. The guerillas still give illimitable trouble to Maximilian's troops, and there is apparently no improvement in the social or moral condition of the country. Aid Want od for JJnyti. NEW YOKK, September 8.-The Haytien war stumer Geftrard, Captain Ravigneau, from Hay ti on the 22dult., via Beaufort, N. C., on the 2d inst., arrived at this port last evening. Captain Ravigneau, who, with the exception of the chief engineer is the only white man on board the steamer, is the bearer of despatches to Presi? dent Johnson from Nicholas Fahre Geffrard, the beleaguered President of that unfortunate republic. Captain Ravigneau's mission to Washington is understood to bc to ask the United States Government for assistance in quelling the revolt which, under the leadership of Salnave, has assumed such formidable proportions in Hayti. He will leave for Washington with? out delay with his despatches. Tile Great Overland. Telegraph Ex? pedition. STIKA, August 21, VIA NEW WEST?
