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.

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 ■ ■ i ii*j iTi.iiiii. o IU.U4I mil-, nlllj Uflfian ih mbur. oI Oongro.., nn.l wo dan- ,„y of tb.t Judge Ouhl return t„ ib. lr pnroler Great Britain end the Celilederacy, Tbo banishment from tbe country of the Britl.b con.ul. indicates increasing difference, end ..parity between our Government end tbit of Groet llritein There I. berdly a doubt that tbe Driti.h Mtnfetorr, retying upon Federal .ucees- »e» end advaucoe before tbo bottle of Chink.rnaujf, end upon Seward', 111- eur.no.i that the rebellion we. about to be epeedily put down, lieve been very errogent end bmighty of lelo, nnd, na is I be en.tmn of their nation, hove availed themselves of tho period of our supposed irreraodieblo reverses to attempt to brow- beet and Insult u..
