The Impressment Law.

We publish on the first page OF this paper
tho recent law OF Congress to regulate the i'm
P-essment Of provisions for the army. The
fact that our Government has found it neces.
cary to enact such law is truly humil,ating.-
We hope, however, hat there win be no ne.
cessity for putting it in force that those who
have a surplus Of provisions, seeing that they
must part with it, will make a virtue Of neces.
siS and put 1t in the market at once, and no,
wait for the impressment officer. Those who
do not wish to take less for their provision,
than the present high market rates would do
we'll TO heed this suggestion.
