DIIY GOODS
GROCERIES!
I still keep up as far as 'the exi
gencies of the time; wili admit Stocks of Dry
Goods and Groceries, at my several Stores.
1 know that it is impossible to avoid from un
thinking people charges of “Extortin,” when you
keep anything to sell. But any one can soon sat
isfy himself if lie will go into the Market and pur
chase, whether be can sell Goods any cheaper than
Ido and live. 1 cannot prevent the advance of
prices and, if I keep up my stocks, must pay the
advance and charge it to my customers. Ido not
buy goods and hold them for higher prices, but of
fer them, as soon as purchased to my customers
and am thus neither Speculator nor ‘Extortioner,
but study- to preserve the charcter of a Merchant
a class of men as essential to the the welfare of
society as any- other.
• 1 promise my customers to buy where I can buy
cheadest and to sell at reasonable advances upon
the cost.

Impressment Act.
This nn act of great importance, and
we publish it for the te est tfour ie»d
ers. It is generally believed that its
provisions, will be acceptable, and do
much towards regulating the of
provisons, by the government] taking
only whatever may be absolutely neccs*
nary, and_pay’affair remunerating price
to the holder—and no producer having
provisionsJor sale,"could object to their
being taken for government uses as is
specified in the law.
TheTßichmond;Whig has'this’vicw of
it. It says—“lt should haverthe effect
of increasing the supplies of ptovisions
and forage in this market, and conse
quently reducing the prices of the same
to somethingjike’a reasonable standard
Farmers have hitherto been deterred
from sea ling their’products Jo jnarket
from the apprehension that they would
be imprcsscdju less' than] the "market
rates, or fc wiihout ‘just'eoinpensation.’—
The recent order of Adjutant General
Cooper, declaring that ‘no officer shall
at any time, unless specially ordered to
do so by a general commanding, in case
of exigency, impress supplies which are
on their way to market, for sale on their
arrival,' should of itself induce the ag
riculturists'to send in supplies of sub*
sistence, which are so much/jiecd.'d in
the cities and towns.
‘.‘But with tho assurance
provided in the Impressment Act, that
the propertyj>f a‘ producer, when ims
pressed, saall be valued by appraisers
of tho vicinage, ensueing ‘jrnst acompca
sation’ therefor, there should bo longer
be any hesitation on the part of proda
cers te send supplies to market. On
the contrary, with the protection now
guarantied to them’by that Act, they
should esteem it a duty to relieve the
distress occasioned by the/scarcity of
provisions in those portions of the State
(rom whiclijsupplies have been with
held. They have the’incentive of res
munerative prices, and should not for
get that under the operation es the Tax
Bill, and other Acts of Congress, a de
cline from current grates is more than
proboble.
