Impressment Denounced.

We make the following extract from speech re-
Gently delivered in Georgia, by Hon. Robt. Toombs :
"The impressment of private property by irres-
ponslble agents, who frequently levid the contr-
buttons for the support of our armies as directed
by favortism and partiality, was denounced mon
strous, and the opinion expressed that when our
Congress determined to support our armies by i'm
pressments gathering supplies wherever they found
them most convenient, and forcing them from those
from whom their agents might choose to take them
in violation of the fundamental principles of our
constitution, which require all burdens to be uni
form and just and paying for them such prices as
they choose, they made fatal blunder, which can
not be persisted in without endangerng our cause,
and probably working ruin to our government
When, therefore, the government, said the
speaker, seeks to levy its supplies through commits
saries, other agents. by impressment, instead of
entering the market as others do, and purchasing
them, it deprves the people Of the right which they
claim OF bearing their just proportion of the bur-
dens as we'll as of the benefits of the government.
The wisdom of twenty centuries is against this
policy, and here affirm that it will not support the
army, and will ruin the republic Already it has
deprived many of their honest earnings, and left
their families in penury, want and dependence, and
| call on you to right them. (Applause) Such a
system has never been pursued with profit to the
country from the time of Alexander the Great down
to the present time Gen. Scott did not practice it.
even when in the enemy's country. From the
whole of his march from Vera Cruz to the City of
Mexico, he obtained his supplies by purchases, and
obtained them plentifully, while our armies which
depend for their support on impressuents, have
often been upon half rations, all over the country,
even where provisions are abundant
Whv cannot the government go into the market
as others do and purchase their supplies? 1t is said
that the people will not sell for the currency at
reasonable rates. Well, if they will not sell fO- one
price, pay another. You have the power ofraising
whatever is necessary for the country If one dol
lar is not sufficient raise ten-Ply just conpensa-
tion market price, for all commodities not mOaE&-
polxed, and tax those who are able to pay"

they do not expect their representatives to lose
money BY attending to their interests Ithey should
increase their pay so as to cover their expenses no
one will complain. And we may add that the salary
of the Governor in the present currency, is totally
inadequate. We do not know, but we have no hes
itation in expressing the opinion founded on the
prices of the means of living in Raleigh, that the
Governors salary does not support him by one to
two thousand dollars per year. His salary ought

The Observer compliments US at the expense of
the people of the State. 1t says we formed the
Conservative party for our own personal benefit -
Such statement idle and ridiculous but it shows
the respect the O6serrer entertans for the intel-
gence of the people. The Conservative party of
North Carolina is infinitely above any one man. or
the mere interests of any set of men, 1t exists on
principle, and not for The benefit or aggrandizement
oil any one. 1t will continue to exist and. will con-
troll this State in the future as it has done in the
past since the old Whig and old Democratic parties
were dissolved So far as zoe are concerned, we had
much to lose and every thing to risk when we abap-
doned the secession wing of the old Democratic
party. Interest pointed one way, and duty anoth-
er, but we pursued the path of duty. We found it
the path of safety. We at once found troops of
friends among the old Wings who, with us, could
forget the party contests of the past so insgnif-
cant in themselves when compared with the great
task of preserving the old or of founding the new
government, and could unite in the sacred work of
maintaining liberty and law against the rude hands
OF innovation and aggression. We do not regret our
course. On the contrary, we are proud of it We
nave received no personal benefits" from it, nor
do we expect any. The only Office we have held as
the result of the success of this new party is that

The New York Times shows why the armies in
the West have been combined under. one command
that of General Grant-and what will, probably,
be the policy of the campaign in Tennessee:
The lack of unity of purpose and object has, of
late been the greatest drawback to success in the
Southwest Gen. Burnside has had an Independent
command in East Tennessee; and though weeks ago,
we had the assertion that his army was in conjunc-
ton and cooperation with that of Rosecrans there
was, in reality, no communication between the two
departments beyond the scout of an occasional small
body of cavalry. Going west hundred miles from
Burnside's headquarters at Konxville, we had the
army of Rosecrans at Chattanooga. West OF the lat
ter some forty miles, we had the army OF General
Hooker, which the latter also claimed TO be an inde
pendent command and, as Hooker ranked Rose
Grams. it is said he declined obeying his orders.
Still further west had large body of troops un-
der General Dodge at Cornth and here began the
forces of General Grant, which were scattered from
Memphis northward through West Tennessee and
down the Mississippi as far as Vicksburg, and be-
yond At these various points and along these lines,
we had probably at this moment not far short OF
two hundred thousand troops This army, masSed
and properly handled f there be any living man, or
if there ever was man, who could properly handle
it on the field) or, if not concentrated in mass,
were it welded and directed by one strong hand,
guided by broad brain, would trample ont any
Southern army march to any point or achieve any
object in the Confederacy. But, under four lnde-
pendent commanders, hundreds ofmiles apart, with
out communication with each other, each working
at his own ioo" little or big-each and all, it may
be, working laboriously and conscientlously, but
disointedly and lacking mutual purpose-hoW
could we expect the highest results-particularly
when it was evident that since the opening OF the
Mississippi the great object Of the campaign in the
West was one and simplel

CAUTIOUS MEN.-Some men use words as rifle
men do bullets. They say little The few words
used go right to the mark. They let you talk, and
guide with your eye and face, on and on, till what
you say can be answered in a word or two-and
then they lance out sentence pierce the matter
to the quick, and are DONE You never know
where you stand with them. Your conversation
falls into their minds, as rivers fall into deep
chasms, and are lost from sight by its depth and
darkness. They will sometimes surprise you with
few words, that go right through to the mark
