The ImpreMment Act.
We llfcvo receivod a number of inqui
ries in reference to the provisions of the
“Act to rej{uiato Impressments,” panied
by tho Confederate Congress at its last
session, Tho act was published in our
paper early in August, but those who now
apply to us for a copy ol it failod to pre
serves number of the paper containing it.
We will, In a day or two, eithor republi-h
tho act or give a carofully prepared and
clear synopss of its provisions. Wo are
inclined to think that the synopsis will
b’! most acceptable to the public general
ly, as they can moro easily derive from it
»n understanding of the provisions in
tended for the protection of owners o
property impressed and the duties of tho
Impressing officers. We dislike, more
over, to appropriate to a re-publication
as much space as the act would All in our
columns.
In no cu-o should any ono be permitted

‘•Mechanic’*” Communication No. 2.
As tho writer of this communication
disclaim* any intention to justify the di
visions of classes to which we have ob
jected, denies “the existence of a voting
mechanical organization” (a permanent
ono we ruppoeo he moans), repudiates the
idea of putting down oxtorlion by such a
movement, and declines to take issue
with ns on our assertion that the gentle
men beaten by the “Mechanics and
Workingmen” areas freo from tho guilt
of extortion and speculation as any men
in tho country, we find very little in his
article to which it is necessary to reply.
With these disclaimers as to tho origip
and objects of the movemont, we are un
able to see why its opposition wus direct
ed against any other candidate than Col.
Holt, against whornu special charge of a
vote to restrict tho wnges of mechanics
in the Government employment is made.
Col. Holt lic.s alrcudy answered that
charge through the press, and wo have
no disposition to revive controversy as to
tho correctness of his course. But of one
fact we havo a perfect ass Ur* nee, and thut
is that all who know the man will agreo
that If he really gave the vote complain
ed of, it wus through no hostility to tho
mechanical interests, but simply to re.
duco the expenses of the Government
and husband its resources for jlie prose
cution of the war. With this view he
voted against the increase of the p<y
The Controversy about Exchanged.
Near five columns of the Richmond
Enquirer of the 10th inst. ‘aro filled with
the correspondence between .fudge Ould,
the Confederate Agent of Exchange, and
Gen. Meredith, the Federal Commission
er, relative to the differences betweefl
them in respect to the exchange of pris
oner-. The misunderstanding grow out
of .fudge Ould’s “Exchange Notice No.
6,” which was published in this and oth
er papers, in which ho declared exchan
ged tho following officer* and men cap
tured and pnTolcd at Vicksburg: Steven
son’s division, Bowen’s division, Moore’s
brigade, the 2d Texas regiment, und
Wnul’s legion ; ulso “all Confederale
officers and mon who have been delivered
at City Point at any time previous to
July 26th, 1803, havo boeri duly exchan
ged, and are hereby so declared.” This
notice was dated Sept. 12, 1863.
Gen. Meredith, in a letter to Judge
Ould, fluted Sept 24th, computes tho
number of officers paroled at Vicksburg,
covered by this declaration, at 1,208, and
of enlisted men 14,805; tho number of
officers declared exchanged at City Point
72, and bf enlisted mon 8,014—making an
aggregate of officers and enlisted men
24,169, reduced to enlisted men 29,433 ;
and he avers that there woro of
Federal troops on parole 78 officers and
19,083 enlisted men, or roduced to onlint-
19,409, which gives a balance In
tho Federal favor of 10,024 men. Ho
then declares all officers and men of the
United States army, captured and pa
roled at any time previous to the l»t of
September, 1863, duly exchanged, claims
tlio balance of 10,024 due, and den

wo said that there were expression?. in Ida

pecially t> his calling the present war
"tho rich man’s light,” conveying the
intimation that tlio poor had boon thrust

tho property of tho rich, ami generally
to the expressions in tlio communication
which have a tendency to increase tin*
anxiety of-tho soldier* in the army as to
tho treatment of their fniuMieit nt home.
Wo must think thut "Mechanic,” par
ticularly in hi* allusion to proposition-
dishonorable to tho families of soldier*,
has reference to only some solitary ia*o,
which stands alono in i'.s infamy, and
constitute* an exception generally rojiro
bated instead of followed.
Wo are entirely ignorant of any or

Gen. Meredith complains that Judgo
Ould did not furnish him with a lift of
tho officers and men doc'nrod exchanged

exchange, and he adds: "I here doom it
incumbent Upon mo to stnto that I con

Judge Ould, in reply to tbo first of
these complaints, says:

officer cannot agroe upoh the value, if
the owner make* <*ath that tho property
seized was raised by him, or is held or
has been purchased by him, not for sale
or speculation but for hi* own use, then
the impressing officer choose* ono and
the owner nn^ther referee, to determine
a* to such value*-if the two first chosen
cannot agree, then they select a third
party whoso decision shall ho final—nnd
being sworn to act Uairly and impartially,
they proceed to asses* tho compensa
tion due either when the property is abso-
luetly appropriated to the Government, or
when tho temporary use only i* required
by it.
Skc. 2. At tbe time of taking the pro
perty, tho impressing officer must pay to
owner tho compensation fixod by the ap
praisers, and shall also give to him a re

ami if tl»o impressing officer fail* to pay
him for it at tbe time ho take* it, it is
tho duty of the proper disbursing officer
to pay it.
Skc. 8 This section provides for the
ease of a seizure, when it is ini practicable
to have the property appraised by citi
zen* of tlm county or town where the
owner resides, as required it. the flrsi h-c

or Commissary or Agent shall pursue the
same course as to ascertainment of value,
a* laid down in Beotua 1, except that the
appraiser* may he any loyal citizen*
where the property is seized.
Skc. 4. The Secretary of War, wlien-
vver it i* impracticable to accumulate
private property for the public use by

army or the good of tho service in any
locality, may, by general order, cause it

Sir, let
all candor, do you endorse
the doctrine of proporty qualification, and
fear to have it exposed until tho war is
over? or, do you disbelieve our asser
tion? If exposing a fuel is mischievous
or hurtful in its ch iracter, is not tlio thing
itnolf dangerous when kept in the dark ?
If I *oe the incendiary going-fco apply the
torch to your house, snail 1 fail to warn
you for fear of alarming some of tho in
mates? No, Sir; i believe it is my duty,
when 1 see danger approaching, to give
the alarm, however mischievous it may
seem to some. Lot u* not put off till to

will have u grort muny'accounts to settle
when tho wards over; nnd not only so,
it would be iiAdness in us to lie still until
tho shackle* are riveted on u* before wo
try to prevent it.
Wo donotavoworjustifyanysuch un

down extortionists by such divisions.—
Neithor was tho separation on our part,
but when we found that our pitiful wages
wa* tin; great bu;beur over which
politician? could wranglu and complain,
and even attribute the enormous wur debt
to tho pay of it* mechanical operatives,
and by way of retrenchment reduce our
pay below what is actually necessary for
our support. And here, again, wo come
in collision with the planter?, for notwith
standing tiie Government agreed to pay
them four times the original value of their
produce, yet they are not sati-fied. This
i \yhat make* the War so ex pen ive—and
not mechanical labor—and this'Is the rea
son why we want_ to elect such mon ns
we think will be«t represent our interests
Wo do not siippo o thoie i* any special
antagonism against u* n* mechanics, moro
than other working men ; but wo do fay
there i* h general antngoni m agnint all
the poor, and more especially against tho
Government, for this great thirst for gHin
i-* doing more bnrrn totheesu^eof freedom
than every Yankee musket In tho field,
und if w« are ever subjugated, that I* the
very thing that will do it. If any one

ed ut Him election that * ’ul. Holt Wu .<•
cused of voting for a bill in t'ongres* to
reduce tiie pay ot mechanic*, and when
interrogated on the subject In*gave a very
unsatisfactory answer, consequently the
mechanic* and working moti concluded
to bent hill! if they could not out of per
sonal malice, hut simply to show that
mechanic* know their rights und dare de
fend them. We have not tho pleasure of

gentlemen you name, hut hope they nro
all good men nnd true. And wo further
hope that they are doing nil they can to
put down the treasonable practice of de
preciating the Government currency nnd
starving the poor.
W e believe in mechanical organizations
(not political) for tha mutual good of all,
and for tho advancement of their own in

w ill begin tho work of reform by setting
a good oxnmplo. Let them charge their
brother mechanics reasonable prices for
all they do, and when others are willing
to meet them on terms of justice and
oqutility, then treat them as brolhota of
