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. all 0i All the workmen and mechanic* of New York are on a “strike” for high er wages, and are parading the streets in “processie's.’’ “Fighting Joe" Hooker has opened his campaign by arresting and banish-, ing from the lines of his army about one hundred newspaper correspond ent}. . ■ »•- — A Yankee paper says Jthe rebellion is on its last legs.’ It will be sorry irnesfor the Yankee soldiers when they get on their ‘last legs.’ If it hadn’t •een lor those same legs tho would have been cut to pieces, long ago.
