A SERIOUS QuEsTIoN.-How many
drinks long is battle In Burnside's
account of Sprague at Bull run we see
suggestion for standard of meas
urement for battles much better than
simple hours and minutes, as il meas
ures the intensity Us well as mere
duration. Sprague gallopod TO the
rear for a drink a great many times,
and very rapidly always Now, in
an average battle he might do this
twenty iimes--a twenty drink battle,
say. Another might be a fily drink
battle; or, if it were intense and the
galloping extra had, the same might
be a sixty drink battle. Veterans
would speak Of skirmishes and ten
drink battles with equal contempt
Drinks are the measurement and
warriors will soon have done with
common umepieoes. Sprague's drinks

Snow THEM Up.-In commenting
upon the generally acknowledged ras-
cality of the last Legislature, the
Lancaster Inteliigencer feels "bound
to say that il was not altogether con
fined to the Republican members who
were in the majority, and who will
therefore be held responsible for the
legislation. There was a small body
of Democrats who were in the Ring
aud who were upto theireyes through.
out the session in every scheme that
was broached One or two Of them
were men whom we found it difficult
to believe. were so base The conduct
of other men did not surprise us The
Honorable Samuel Josephs, Of Phila-
dclphia, couldn't astonish anybody By
any act Of baseness But the Democ-
racy of his district are every BIT as
bad as he is, for they knew what he
wanted to 90 to the Legislature for
when they sent him, and they, every
one Of them, deserve six months i'm
prisonment at hard labor for voting
for him.
On the last day Of the session, il is
said, that the lobby had paymasters
at two of the hotels IN Harrisburg,
one the Democratic and the other the
Radical headquarters, at which the
members Of the Legislature who had
sold their votes were publicly paid OF
the transaction being looked upon
by them as . capital Joke Let the
press Of both parties expose these
transactions without mercy, and spare
neither political friend or foc.-Erie
