.Impressments.

We hopo that the planters Of Ihis Dr..
triet will unanimously conclude to di>re
gard the late impressmcnt notices, requiring
them to retain all Of their surplus produc.
for the Government in 80 !ar as it respects
The sale Of produce to consumers. A dis.

try alike combine 10 induce the producer.
to furnish the poor with bread the orders
Of Government agents to the contrary, not.
withstanding Two instances of peculiar
hardship, brought about by this order, har.
lately fallen under our own observation
One was that Of a soldier on sick furlouph.
the other were two families Of soldiers.
These were tvid by those who had corn,
that, in consequence of this action Of the
Government, their extreme wants could no,
be supplied. Hundreds of similar ea.es no
doubt exist. The people should net suffer
it to be 20; they must supply the wants of
these people, il they would 10 do what hu.
manity and justice requires Of them, and if
they would preserve our armies from dc
moralization. 1t is too much to expect of
soldiers to remain at their posts, when thsir
families are suffering for the absolute ne,
cessarios Of life.
We have hsaId several gentlemen sny that
they will continue to supply the needy, ~
they have done heretofore. Tbs is what
all should do, and iE our judgusut they
