There in, we understand, considerable dodging to avoid, and some complaint about the manner of tho execution of the order for the impressment of horses in this locality. If the law has been faith fully curried out and observed by the impressing officer#—and wo have uo knowledge of it* violation by them -no man ha* good rnnson to complain. That tho Government, in ea»o of emergency, has the right to impress private property for public use, paying therefor just com pensation, is h principle recognized as well in times of peace ns in war. The Impressment act of tho Confederate Con gress goes no farther than this, and its agent* aro by law directed to mnkiiprop- or exemptions and to accord just com pensation for property soiled. Tho “Act to regulate Impressments" provides that where the ofllcor impress ing and tho ownor of tho properly can not agree as to the value of tho property taken for Government use, two appraisers shall be selected, one by the ownor and tho other by tho impressing officer; and In case theso two cannot agree, they aro to choose u third man »# umpire, whoso decision shall bo tlnnl. Can any inode of carrying out a principle to winch all us- •uiit be fairer tumi this 7 To facilitate and givo uniformity to improssmenU and prices, the act provides that two commissioner* shall he appoint ed for ouch Htute, one by the President nml tho other by the Governor, who shall agree upon and publish u schedule of priro* for their respective States, with the power, also, to select mi umpiro in case of disagreement between them. This duty lias boon performed in Goorgin and A!u- bnma; but tho schedules of those com missioners do not ombruoe burros, fur Cite reason that their values are so variant ns to require each animal to ho npprui-od separately. Horses, therefore, have to be valued according to the provision lira refoi red to. But the law has wisely and proporly made provision aguinst the impressment o( hare <a uoceetary to tho support of a family or the carrying on of its agricul tural operations, if these are the only horsus owned by the family. . e copy ’.lie section ut the ael utTording tint secu rity nguiiul hardship or suffer mg : >Sxe. 7- That the property iisc .-mi y for the support of the owner and in- family', and u» carry on hm urd.nary ag ricultural and mecUunical buiine s, »o he ascertained by tho appraisers, to ue ap pointed as provi ed in the first section of this act, under oath, shall not be taken or ini pressed for the public use ; ami wbeu the impressing officer and owner emmot agree as to the quantity of prop erty necessary as aforesaid, then ibe de cision of the said appraisers shall be bind ing on tho officer mid all other persons. Abuses Catling; lor Keiormatlou. One of the gravest Olundors c >mmilled by uur Government has occurred in its failure to patronise s>»ve luber. There aro to-day 60,000 soldiers in the Confed eracy detached to dischargo duties that could be better performed by negro la borers. They ar« found in tho Quarter- nmslor and Commissary Departments, working on entrenchment*, Ac. Ac. There ought not to be a white orderly In the army, a white porter in a quartermaster’s office, or a white laborer in a government warehouse or fortification, or a white teamster in a rump. A* the onemy en croaches upon our frontier* he drives the negro population to tho intei inr, and they are already becoming entirely too dense ly crowded. Wo have not arable land enough to give them employment, and idle negroes are public curses. The strength and efficiency of our army is susceptible of vast improvement, al.-o, from those offices which are now filled by hale ami hearty young men as clerks, who are much more in tho employment than they are in tho service of the coun try. There aro 2,000 clerks in Richmond in tho Departments, and 8,000 more in the employment of tho Government in Con federate cities, who ought to be in the field, and whose places are due to and could bo just a* well tilled ly gallant and noble young uum who have been render ed unlit Ibr service in the Held by wound* received in battle, or by old men inca pacitated by tho iuliriuities of ago for tho hardships and privations incident to forced mnrehus and camp life. Some men with but one nnn or ono log can purchase supplies, supervise transporta tion, receive or discharge freight, keep all manner of book* and make all rnan- nor of contracts just a* well, and often bettor, than many other men can dis charge any of these duties with two arms or two leg*, Voting by Classes.

It wo believed that there wm, we should zealously and earnest y advocate the healing of ti.e breav.. by tho removal of the evils that produced it; but we are totally ignorant of any came f >x the stale of opposition developed by this elec tion. Nothing cau be more mirchitvous ’n any society than antagonistic organi sations ol its classes, riuch division* ure more bitter in their alienatior.* than any other political parties, and arc far more apt to produce hurtful collisions. The beauty and healthfulne#* of free commu nities consists in the equality of all tbeir citizens tci political and social rights, and j the harmony of tbeif classes in the di. charge of public duties.

Wo do not wish to bo understood a* dis paraging the choice, as tu men. made by either party in thi* unfortunate division of classes.

But wo do deprecate any cnuselcM divisions of our citizens into classes or claru, and entreat them to dis courage all organizations of view of Chattanooga, ni the Hoo*i«rs encamped theiein and tboreabouts.

Satisfied /e nothing of any im- purtanee along tho line, 1 walked on to Lookout Mountain, thence up to the Half Way, or White Houso. From ibis point Chattanooga and it* surroun lings are plainly discernible. The enemy’s breast works commence at the river above town, thence pur*..o a zig-zig courso south ward along the crest of a range of bills that lie east of tho town nnd about one half mile distant from tho depot.

By tho aid of a glass, 1 was ena bled to inspect their breastworks minute ly.

Immediately in the rear of those piles they have dug trenches abou^two foet deep, thedirtOejngibr.»wn in from and on top of the log : and rails.
