Small Pclitieians.
There is a class of small politicians of the
Black Republican Gret ley School in almost
every community, who annoy sensible peo
ple vrith their insane livings on the nigger
question to such an extent that it amounts
to a positive nuisance to society. This
class ol politicians are very wise in tbeir
own conceits. In their own estimation, they
are perfect adepts in political economy
and governmental science. They are the
most profound expounders of the Constitu
tion oi the United States we have in the
country, and are able to define the exact
meaning of every line and syllable of that
instrument from the enacting closedown
tuthe name of the last signer. Chief Justice
Tan y is a pigmy compared with these as
tute expounders of the Constitution. They
ulw learnedly of this measures and ol
i!iat measure, and criticise the legal op
in ion and judicial decisions of the greatest
Jun-is ia the country with an air ot self im
.trtanre and vanity that is truly enrpri
sfi. They are generally to be found in
f.'uces where they "most do congregate,"
ready at any moment to enter into an da
tura;? discussion nf their .-p-'een ami rew
i po the devoted head of any one who wili
C"are to differ from their prof mud ideas. They
IteqLeiitly deliver their homilies upon the
the street corners, to the infinite' delight of
a crowd ol fanatics as ignorant as them
feHe, and to the niter disguest of all sen
t and right thinking persons. They en

The Pniladelpaia. Press Jnd?c Donilas-
The Philadelphia Press, while professedly
supporting Douglas for the Presidency in
lfeO, every body knows was really doing a
y for the the Republicans to aid them in
electing Lincoln. No one ouderstood this
better than Douglas himself, and bad he
lived would have publicly reented the
treachery. The editor of the Press is to
day in ih enjoyment of the reward paid
bim for this faithless conduct by the lie
pablicans received at the hands of Doug-
Jus worst enemies and yet claims to speak
I r the Douglas men! The editor of the
Erie O'tserver. one of the ablest writers in
the Slate and always a true friend ol Dons
las, thus trclhfu'ly and palpably exposes
lhe hypocric) ol the Press:
II there is any one journal in the country
w hich is doing more to dishonor Donilas
than the Press, we are unable to recall i's
name. It his leagueJ its fortunes with
those of his bitterest foe through l ie. and
daily advocates principles which he - would
h-ve despised as earnestly as he despised
treason itself. There is hardly a soiitarj
honest friend of Mr. Dong's in Fennsylv
l ia whom ife Press has not abued," whil
it has lauded such men, as Cameron, Ste
Tens, Cnnin and McCture, who never le'i
an nrnnrinn-ii- n bv o malian his char
... t - j -
tcter. We believe that if the lamented ll'i-noi-ian
were alive to-day, he would be de
nounced by the Press with just as much ar
dor as it now shows in praiiw? bim
- The Press's attempt to mak cp'al ont
of its pretended affection for Douglas is well
nigh ''played out " It has done its origi
rsal work, received its rewarl and ia now
folly onderstcod. No sen?ible Democrat
can be deceived by it any longer. It is
rothiug less than an insult to the memory
' of the dead, for it to claim to speak in tlie
name of Douglas while strengthing the
hands of his lite-long delamers, and seekii g
lo degrade his intimate and earoest friends.

ibe war broke out to strengthen either the
military or naval power. Its legislation has
ben dragging along in a most shameful
manner and to very little purpose. Slera
l era have poured forth their bitterness upon

promoted disorganization and trouble, while
they themselves have been sadly behind

of slavery, no movement could be mora ill
chosen to abolish it in the District than the
present, nor any worse manner proposed to
accomplish it than than that provided by
the present bill. The recent message of the
President suggested to Congress the propri

to initiate slave emancipation. It did not
contemplate the passage of a bill that would
suddenly change the condition of thousands
of helpless negroes'; for great, sweeping,

of events, brings with it comforts and ben
efits, and the relations of life 'are neither
jarred nor ruptured.
The bill which has just passed the Sen
ate, at one blow emancipates all the slaves
in the district, giving to loyal masters some
small compeusatiou therefor. No one will
pretend to say that Congress has not a right
to dispose of the question as it pleases, nor
that freedom in the District is preferable
and necessary, but it is not too much to say
that in the exercise of that sovereignty, it
should have a caVe for the claims of socie
ty, the rights of slave owners, and the effect
npon those creatures whom it proposes to
benefit. The slave owners of the District
have discovered that the provisions ol the
bill which bids fair to become a law restrict
their rights and afford but an inadequate
compensation for the change. Thousands
of slaves. therefore, are being sent into Ma
ryland and sold iu'o perpetual serviimle,
and scarcely two thou-and will be lelt in
the District to be emancipated and compen
sated lor. When the attention of Senators
is called to the inevitable result of the radi
cal provisions of the bill, they answer that
it nutters little how sudden and sweeping
is the nature of the act, as there will be lew
slaves led to whom it can apply. This cir
cular argument is one of the many illogical
and unfair which are adduced to secure the
passage of the bill.
It is therefore seen that whilst it produces
a sudden and unhealthy char.ge in the body
politic, it also enures to the harm ot a large
majority of the slaves, whose bondage is
being perpetuated. It ii extraordinary that
men who-e sympathies are so avowedly
with these creatures should resort to such
rish and precipitate legislation, which hil3
it of course makes the District free from
slave property. -makes but few freed men
Neither do they provide lor the helplessness
of the creatures who will be turned loose
upon socieiy,to bnrden its jails and its alms

Cincinnati, April 10. The correspondent
if the Cincinnati Times eives the following
iccount ol the PutsDurg tattlet
; At l o o'clock on the morning of the 6ih
our hundred men from Gen. Prentiss' divis
on were attacked by the enemy half a mile
in advance ot our lines. Our men tell tack
on the twenty filth Missouri, swifty pursued
by the enemy. The advance ol the rebels
reached Col Peabody's brigade just as the
long roil was sounded and the men were
falling into line. The resistance was but
short, and they retraated tnder a galling
fire ut.til they reached the second division.
, At 6 o'clock the attack had become gen
eral along the entire lront of onr lines The
enemy in large force drove in the pickets of
Gen. Sherman's division, and fell on the
48th. 7th, and 7?d Ohio Regiments. 1 hee
troops had never before been in action, and
being so unexpectedly attacked, made as
able a resiMaiice as possible, but were, in
common with the lorces of Gen. Preuti-s,
compelled to seek support on the troops
immediately in their rear.
At one o'clock the entire line on both
sides, was fully engaged. The roar of can
non and musketry was without intermission
lrom the main centre to a point exteudtng
Lall way down the left wing
The rebels made a desperate charge on
the Fourteenth Ohio battery, and not being
sufneienily sustained by infantry, it foil into
their hands. Another severe fight orcurried
for the possession of the Fifth Ohio battery,
and three of its guns were taken by the
enemy.
By eleven o'clock commanders of regi
ments had fallen, and in some cases not a
siiifele field-officer remained Yet the fight
ing continued with an earnestnes-s wtiicn
showed the contest on both sides was for
death or victory !'J
For nearly two hours a sheet of fire blaz
ed from both columns, the rebels fighting
with a valor that was only equalled by
those contending with them While the
contest raged the hottest, the gunboat Ty'er
passed up the river to a poin' oppotte ihe
enemy, and poured in broadiites Irorn her
immense guns, greatly aiding in forcing
the enemy back. Up to three o'clock, the
battle raged with a lury that defies deocrip
lion. At 5 o'clock there was a short cessation
in the firing of the eneny, their lines lall
ing back for nearly have a mile. They
then suddenly wheeled and again threw
their entire lorce upou our lett wing, de
termined to make a final struggle in that
probably make her appeara re to-morrow.
- Parties who con.e in trom the army report
no special change in affairs. -'Continual
skirmishing is going on. and a brilliant little
pflair occurred yesterday morning, in which
Griffin's battery participated with marked
effect killing and wounding twenty-seven of
the rebels. ,
The rebels position extends across the
Peninnla from Vorktown to Warwick, near
the James river a short distance above Mul
berry Point. The conformation of the land,
nr.d the making in of the creek from James
river shortens their line of defence, and en

selves will stop ard ponder, and their hands '
will be tied against the accomplishment of
good Our hope is in the Union sentiment
of the Scnth. W hy then should we do any
thing that would have ihe slightest tenden
cy to aliena!e it? The nece-sity of this
measure is not more imperative now than
ii was a few years ago, nor than it will be a
few years hence, and even if it would'have
no injurious effect upon the South, it conid
produce no good, nor tend to shorten the
eiruggle that now distracts the country.
Our duty, then, clearly points to the aban
donment of the measure, and it should be
hoped that there are sufficient conservatism
and patriotism iu the House to defeat the
bill. Such, however, is not our expecta
tion. More if to be expected from Presi
dent Lincoln than from Congress.. He has
hitherto given indications of safe and con
servative views, and-should he veto this bill
when it comes to him. for - his signatnre, it
would not only secure hint the sentiment
and co-operation of the entire1 conservative
element of the country, but would have all
the effects of a great and decisive victory

patrons of public baths. Under the Roman
emperors there were 870 public bathet in
Rome. These were models of architecur

their knowledge of the bathe from the Ro

recommended by some EogUs-b physic afts.

The storm has at at length broken, and
