ImpreSSnent.

The Confederate Senate has passed Mr..
Wigfall's amendment providing for impress.
ments of private property by Confederate
officers. The property impressed is to be
valued by three disipterested persons, and
if the valuation shall seem just and fair,
the officer shall approve it, and the property
shall at once bepaid for; but if the officer
does not consider the appraisemeut just
and fair, he shall disapprove it, and the
owner can appeal to the head of the depart.
ment having charge of the species Of prop
erty taken. Mr.. Yancey offered an amend.
ment that no impressment of private prop
erty shall be made except in cases where
the public peril is immediate and imminent,
and the military necessity so urgent as to
admit of no delay. Rejected-yeas 9,

We confess that we do not like this meas
ure. 1t is the expedient of little minds,
the resort of imbecile officials who seek to
cover up past neglects by something violent
and startling. 1t is not the proper mode
of dealing with patriotic and intelligent
people. 1t proposes the adoption of de-.
grading process, which presupposes low
tone of public morality, and is in itself cal
culated to lower it still more, and to leave
behind it stinging sense of humiliation.

TIE QUESTION IN A ANuTsHELL.-In
an article on the provision question, speak
ing of the policy and the duty Of the plan.
tiers, the Mobile Eueniag Neaos embodies
and discloses the merits of the whole sub.
ject in the following extract: -
We escaped tremendous evils when our
planters gave up their last years cotton
crop and put their lands in cora. If the
usual cotton and corn crops had been
pitched, it now plain that we should have
been unable to subsist the people and sol
diefs the year out, and we should have
been at the mercy of the Yankees, let
this be a warning at this moment, when
planters are preparing to pitch their crops.
The question Of Confederate independence
is question of corn. Corn is the basis Of
food. With an abundance Of this precious
grain, the supply Of meat is unlimited.-
With plenty of it, every pig literally will
yield nearly pound Of meat daily, that is
to say, a pig well fed viii weigh three hum
dred pounds when year old. No farmer
need grumble at giving up his prospects Of
a cotton harvest when such returns can be
received from a provision crop; Superad-
ded is the priceless honor and glory of ser
wing, saving and redeeming the country =
There is danger that the high prices Of cot
ton and the stimulus to the demand sup.
piled by Government purchasers, will tempt
farmers to plant heavily in the staple. II
would be.erime against Confederate liberty
to do it. Make food enough, and we can
fight the Yankees forever. Fail to make it,
and not only your other crops will do you
no good, but you will lose your lands, your
negroes, and your country's independence.

1aT The cotton manufactured Russia has
adeyelopmeut Of which few people have
any idea. Every Russian peasant, male
and female, wears cotton clothes. The men
wear printed shirts and trowsers, and the
women are dressed from head to foot, in
printed cotton also. When it is remember.
ed that Russia contains some thing like 49,
100000 Of serfs, besides other classes
amounting to 2O,oOO,0oO, all using this ar.
ticle, more or less, one can estimate the de-.
mand for cotton goods. This is supplied
chiefly BY native labor, in mills, containing
machinery made in Oldham, and Manches.
ter, and superiutended by Englishmen from
the same nsighboring towns. There may
be five or six millions of spindles at work
spinning this cotton, together with the
weaving and printing of the same, that
forms indeed q large item, perhaps the 'lar,
;gest among the manufacturing processes Of
Russia, and employs a capital Of one hun.
dred and fifty millions Of dollars.

Is there nothing which can convince him

Bayonets may win our battles, but the men
who use those bayonets must be; fed! Of
cotton there is already sufficient supply
for home consumption oslast for years to
come-why then plant more, when the WI
sesest among us can see no reliable indica-
tions of peace, and more cotton without
peace will be of no advantage to the COM
munity. In case Of a famine, will cotton
feed a starving people, or starving army?
Will the money for which you might sell
your cotton, buy bread, when bread is not to
be had? Will it make you feel proud and
happy, to look upon piles of cotton bales,
when widows and orphans all around you,
shall be CRYING for bread-when our noble
armies, whose banners have been baptised
in blood, shall be wasting away for the want

The Beautiful Ally the Lincoln
Administration has Chosen for
the United States. ...#

The Lincoln Administration has established
an entente cordidle between the United States
and Russia, 1t is beautiful ally for this
"land of the free and home of the brave" A
letter-writer says of Poland
"In the country the Russian Generals and
soldiers murder, burn and pillage like so many
iiends let loose from hell Mouravieif, the soul
Of these outrages had ordered all the woods in
which the insurgents seek protection, and un-
der cover of which they assail the Russian
troops, to be cut down; and finding that pro-
cess TO be too extensive and tedious is setting
them on FIRE. Immense tracts Of forest have
thus been laid in ashes; and the traveller in
those dismal districts sees huge clouds of
smoke ascending, and pillars of fire lighting
up the sky with blood red-fames Vii ages,
m-houses---almost every human habitation
lis being destroyed in the most patriotic dis
tie is. The cruelties of the Republicans in
~ Vendee are re-enaeted and initiated by the
tools Of despot in unhappy Poland. Women
are hung in the most inhuman manner
Jeither sex nor age is spared where the Rus
sian Cossacks set their feet But the spirit OF
liberty, of independence and right is strength
ened by each such baptism of blood, and even
the hopeless must become hopeful when such
determination and energy are shown

there is any foundation for the rumor at all,

liberate and arm their slaves, Il they can gain
their Independence in no other way. When
this once becomes understood, the hopeless
ness of the further prosecution of the war
will become apparent II any peace pro-

The great Democratic Army of Ohio
has been beaten by the disunion Abolition
hordes that were hurled upon it from every
quarter Under the leadership Of tried
and true men, Il made bold and gallant
fight, and, though defeated, it still main
tains its organization, and already it is
rallying for another onslaught. 1t will
fight its next battle from the same CHASE"
and meet Abolitionism on the same ground
and platform from which it fought on the
18Th OF October. Although defeated. its
ranks and spirit are uubrokcn, and every
confidence is reposed in its gallant leaders.
Up once again with the old flag, and rally
around the standard of Liberty and

Cost Of a shOddy Patriot.

Before Parson BRowNLow came North
on his begging expedition, he was most
bitter against any attempt to liberale the
slaves-he was virulent against any de-
sign to interfere with State rights, and no
one applied harder epithets than he did, to
those who, under color of Union senti-
ments, labored to destroy the liberties of
the people. When he came north he took
the "about face" tactics, and became full
some panegyrist of the Administration.
Why he did so, the following from dis
union Abolition paper clearly shows
"Parson Brownlow and family left for
Knoxville to-day, taking with them material
for new printing Office, about 10000 sub
scrbers for the newspaper, and at least SG0
600 in cash"

Obstacles 10 the Restoration Of
the Union.

The Washington National Htelligencer
publishes an interesting letter from n South
ern gentleman residing in Massachusetts, TO
friend in Washington, from which we make
the following extract:
while at West Point met with friend of
some thirty years standing, born in Scotland
but who has lived all bis mature life In Vir.
ginia, Louisiana and Mississippi, and under.
stands the commercial and other interests cf
those States better than any man of my ac-
quaintance. He has left large property on
account of his hatred of secession but does
not hesitate to impute much Of the blame to
abolition ntermeddling. His recent inyestiga.
tons lead him 20 the conviction that If the
voice OF the Southern people could be heard,
q large majority are in favor of returning to
the old flag, and that nothing prevents its be-
ing heard but the existence of the emanoipa-
ton and confscatiOn acts. If they were re-
pealed or a declaration on the part of Con
gress made with the same solemuity as that
which defined the sole object of the war to be
a restoration OF the sovereignty of the Union,
the whole matter would be settled in thirty
days; the bulk Of the army would disband and
return to peaceful occu upatiOns. | remarked
thai the assurance had been virtually given in
Mr.. Stewards circular, and would doubtless be
carried out, that slaves who had availed them.
selves of the proclamation of emancipation
could not be re-enslaved, but doubtless the
loss woud be indemnifed by money consid.
GRAFTON, as in Missouri and Maryland, and that
the simple fact of falling into line under the
loyal authorities of their respective States and
electng Union members of Congress would
restore the status ante bellups. sl
He replied that Congress had erected an
impassable barrier against such return, by
the oath required from members of Congress
coming from seeding States to the effect not
only that they would hereafter sustain the
Federal Constitution; but that they had not di-
rectly or indirectly been engaged in opposing
it for he says that universal opposition has
been forced upon the Southern people, and
that as far as the future is concerned the ap-
plicants for admission into Congress would
readily subscribe to it,

Particulars still meagre. Does it pay to
withdraw ten thousand troops from in

them off hundred miles to vote? Is it a
political war? voting being considered
more important than fighting?
