We get the following from CORES
poEdent who was on the ground on
Sunday evening: The fighting ceased
to-day with the setting of the sun and
both armies are busily engaged in re.
moving the wounded and burying the
dead. 1t is impossible at this time to
tell the loss on our side during the day
but pobably 200 or more.
Rebel prisoners say their loss was
heavy. Ambulances are all husily en-
gagged in taking the wounded to Mid
dletown, where every thing is in read
mess for them.
The sum of all our advices from
Maryland seem to be that the late figh
was an attack by our forces on the rear
guard of the enemy, in which We drove
them from their position, and made
some captures.
The credit of the operation is mainly
due to Gen. Burnside, who fully JUST
fled the confidence of the country in his
soldierly qualities. The enemy selcc
ted his position to he attacked but was
surprised by detOnr of Gen. Burnside.

A WARNING TO YOUNG MEN.

In nearly all the larger towns and cities
young men form themselves into clubs of
various kinds to enable them TO pass away
the hours Of the long winter evening social
" and pleasantly. They are, many Of them,
among strangers, far away from the home
circle, and the pleasant associations which
gather round the hearthstone Of their child
hood, and they find it difficult to get into
society. Their time, after the business
hours Of the day are past, drsgs heavily,
and they are ready 10 take up with almost
any thing that offers itself in the shape OF
amusement or recreation. A club Of Jolly
good fellows has many attractions under
these circumstances. While we would not
do any thing to curtail the real enjoyment
Of the young, We would warn them against
those which are injurious TO either soul or
body.

SABBATH PHYSIOLOGY.


time Of creation, commanding man to observe
an equal repose. The neglect Of this injunc-
ton will always, sooner or later. bring men,
tai, moral, and physical death.
Rest is an inyariable law Of animal life.
The busy heart beats. beats ever, from in
fancy to age, and yet for large part of the
time it is in state of repose.
William Pitt died of apoplexy at the early
age of torty.seven. When the destinies OF
nations hung IN large measure on his doings,
he felt compelled to give an unremitting at
tention 10 affairs OF state. Sabbath brought
no rest 10 him, and soon the unwilling brain
gave signs of exhaustion. But his presence
in Parliament was conceived to be indis-
pensabe for explanation and defense OF the
public policy. Under such circumstances,
Il was his custom TO eat heartily OF substan-
tial food, most highly seasoned, just before
going to his place, in order TO afford the
body that strength, and 10 excite the mind
to that activity deemed necessary 10 the mo-
mentous occasion. But under the high ten
sion, both brain and body persisted prema-
turely.
Not long ago, one of the most active bust
ness men OF England found his affairs so ex-
tended, that he deliberately determined TO
devote his Sabbaths TO bis accounts. He had
a mind of wide grasp. His views were
so comprehensive, SO far seeing, that wealth
came in upon him like flood. He pur-
chased country seat, at the cost Of four
hundred thousand dollars, determining tina,
be would now have rest and quiet. But il
was too late. As he stepped on bis thresll-
old, after survey Of his late purchase, he
became appoplectic. Although life was not
destroyed. he only lives to be the wreck Of
man.
IL used to be said that brick-kiln "must
be kept burning over Sabbath !" il is nov
known to be a faIlacy. There can be no

now, il is received opinion. that iron blast
furnaces will bring ruin if not kept 10 con-
tinual operation. Eighteen years ago, an
Englishman determined to keep the Sab
bath holy as to them, with the result, as his
books testified, that he made more iron IN
six days than lie did before 10 seven; that
he bad made more iron in given time, in
to the hands and size Of his FUR
naces, than any establishment in England
which was keptin operation during the Sab.

he left home to 20 into business in the city
he felt lonely in the evenings. and ionged
for companionship. He was difident, and
had no influential friends to take him by
the hand and introduce him into society. A
friend invited him to join a social club.
They spent their time in song and jest, eat
ing and drinking, and general jolllty. he
kept list of all who belonged to the club
during his connection with it, and has their
histories since. OF forty-nine. but three
now remain enjoying green old age. Most
of the others went to early graves. the vic
tins Of intemperance. Very few of them
were ever successful in business. though
some of them were young men Of line busi-
ness capacity. Our venerable friend thinks
the seeds Of their ruin were sown in the
clnb.room. He said. with great emphasis.
" Had an iron voice, which | could ring

It's nothing private or two, now and then,
Will not count IN the news Of the battles
Not an officer lost--only one Of the men
Moaning ont, al alone, the death rattle.
All quiet along the Potomac tonight,
Where the soldiers lie peacefully dreaming;
Their tents In the rays of clear autumn moon,
Or the light Of the watch,fres, are cleaning.
A tremuhus sight, as The gentle night wind
Through the forest leaves slowly is creeping;
While the sisrs up above, with their s,ering eyes,
Keep guard-for the army is sleeping.
There s only the sound Of the lone seniry's tread,
AS he tranps from the rock 10 the fountain,
And thinks Of the two on the low tlundle bed,
Far away in the cot on the mountain;
His musket falls slack, his face dark and grim,
Grows gentle with memories tender,
As he mutters prayer for the children asleep
For their mother, may Heaven defend her!
The moon seems TO shine as brightly as then,
That night when the love JET unspoken
Lesp'd up 10 his lips, and when low murmurd vows,
Were pledged, to be ever unbroken;
Then drawing his sleeve roughly ever his eyes,
He dashes of tears that are yelling,
And gathers his gun close up 10 it's place,
As ii 10 prevent the heart swelling.
He passes the fountain, The blasted pine tree,
The fOctstep is tagging and weary,
Yet onward he goes through the broad belt Of light
Toward The shades Of forest 20 dreary.
