Impressment of flour. --A few days since the agents of the Confederate Government impressed a large quantity of flour in the hands of merchants and others for the use of the army. Among those whose property was seized was Mr. William B. Isaacs, who a short time after the sezore procured an injunction from Judge Wm. H. Lyons, restraining the Government from using the flour until the question could be determined whether they had the legal right to impress it at a less than its market value. The argument in the case which is of some importance to the individual citizen, was commenced yesterday before Judge Lyons at the City Hall, Messrs. Geo. W. Randolph and Andrew Johnston appearing for Mr. Isaacs, and Messrs. Arthur A. Morson and Pat. Henry Aylett for the War Department. The case will probably be under investigation for a week or more. In the opening by the plaintiff's counsel a great number of authorities were quoted, a list of which were handed to the Judge for reference.
