We publish this morning ths fullest
details we can find Of the great hattie Of
Sharpsburg, fought on Wednesday the
18th inst. It was the last Of tho hard
encounters on Maryland sol. The day
after this terrific engagement they sent
in flag oftruco asking permission to
bury their dead, but they took advant
age Of the cessation Of hostilitics to com,
mence their retreat. On Thursday night
it was discovered that the rebels were
crossing the Potomac iu the Shsppards
town bridge and at two fords below
and above it. On making this discove-
ny some batteries Of artillery were adj
vanced and commenced Smelling them
The dead and wounded rebels found
next day evinccd the accuracy Of our
signal officers in directing the fire Of our
guns At daylight on Friday Gen.
Pleasanton was dispatched in hot pur-
suit, With two batteries Of flying artillery
and two regiments Of cayalry-8th Hi
nois and 4.h Indians. In passing
through gap in the hills be succeed in
cutting off large amount Of their am
munit,on, supplies, etc, besides small
portion Of Maxey Gregg's South Caro-.

enemy with effect asthey passed through

they were flying in the direction OF
Winchester, and it Is supposed they
would retreat precipitately on to Rich
mond..
At the close Of the battle on Wetlnes-
day the result was undecided, though
the rebels had been driven from several
positions. But their subsequent preci.
pitate retreat irto Virginia was con,

Friday they found $500 slain rebels az

cventful day is believed to exceed Is,

number Of soldiers engaged on each
side is estimated al ninety to one hun
drea thousand. The rebels were rein.

THE TOAST.

The feast is o'er! Now brimming wine
In lordly cup is seen to shine
Before each eager guest;
And silence fills the crowded hall,
AS deep as when the herald's call
Thrills in the loyal breast.
Then up arose the noble host.
And smiling cried, "a toast toast
To all our ladyes fair.
Here, before all, pledge the name
Of Stanton's proud and beauteous dame
The Ladye Gundemere"
Then to his feet each gallant sprung,
And joyous was the shout that rung
AS Stanley gave the word:
And every cup was raised on high,
Nor ceased the loud and gladstone cry,
Till Stanley's voice was heard.
"Enough, enough" he smiling said,
And lowly bent his naughty head:
"That all may have their due,
Now each in turn must play his part,
And pledge the ladye Of his heart,
Like gallant knight and trueW
Then one by one each guest sprang up,
And drained in turn the brimming cup,
And named the loved ones name;
And each, as hand on high he raised,
His ladye's grace or beauty praised,
Her constancy or fame.
'Tis now st. Leon's turn to rise,
On him are fixed those countless eyes
A gallant knight is he;
Envied by some, admired by all,
Far famed in ladys's bower and hall,
The flower Of chivalry.
st. Leon raised his kindling eye,
And lifts the sparkling cup on high:
81 drink to one" he said
"Whose image never may depart,
Deep craven on this grateful heart,
Till memory be dead.
"To one whose love for me shall last
When lighter passions long have past,
So holy It's and true;
To one whose love hath longer dwelt,
More deeply fixed, more keenly felt
Than any pledged by you"
Each guest upstarted at the word,
And laid hand upon his sword,
With fury flashing eye;
And Stanley said, ave crave the name,
Proud knight, of this most peerless dame
. Whose love you count so high"
St. Leon paused, as if he would
Not breathe her name in careless mood
Thus lightly to another;
Then bent his noble head as though
To give that word the reverence due,
And gently said, "My mother"

CHANGING STEP'-Whatf is more ludi.
crous than an awkward couple waking
arm in arm and failing entirely to keep
siep? 1t is suggestive of a heavy wagon
jolting over a rough road, or music played
badly out of tuue, or anything else most
dlsagreeable to sensitive nerves, and is
altogether most wretehed ard uncomtort-
able both for the spectator and the par
ties concerned. Occasionally, By acei-
dent they fall into keeping stepfor whisey
and for time they move tremendously
and with graceful identity of motion.
But for the most part their progress con-

some men endure through hte, merely for
Ignorance of knowing how to keep step"

MAKE BEGINNING-If you do not
begin, you will never come to the end.
The first weed pulled up in the garden,
the first seed set in the ground, the first
shilling put in the saving bank, and the
first mile travelled on journey, are all
important things; they make beginning,
and thereby give hope, promise, a
pledge, an assurance that you are In
earnest with what you have undertaken.
How many poor, idle, erriug, hesitating
outcast is now creeping his way through
the world, who might have held up his
head and prospered, if, instead of putting
off his resolution of amendment and in
dustry, he had only made beginnlng.
The Popish fable of St. Dehys, who lifted
up his head from the ground. after decap-
itation, and walked away with it, was

SCENE AT A REvIEW.-There was a
beautiful instance of horsemanship dis
played at late review held at Vienna,
upon the occasion of the military order of
Maria Theresa, when some thirty thousand
cavalry were in line. A little child in
the front row of the spectators, becoming
frightened, rushed forward just as a squad
ron Of huzzars were charging at full tilt
-swooping down with maddening veloc-
ity, nay, almost on the child. Terror
paralyzed alike the spectators and the
mother of the child, while the lovely and
amiable Empress almost tainted with hor-
ror, for the child's destruction seemed in.
evltable. The little one was almost under
the horses feet-another instant would
have sealed its doom-when a huzzar.
without lessening his speed or loosening
his hold, threw himself along his horses
neck, and seizing the child placed it in
safety in front of his saddle without so
much as changing the pace or breaking
the alignment 10 the least. A hundred
thousand voices hailed with pride and JOY
the deed while but two voices could sob
their gratltude-the one mothers, the
other that of her sympathizing and be-
loved Empress. A proud moment that
must have been for the huzzar, when his
Emperor, taking the enameled cross of
merit, attached it to his breast-a proud
monument alike for the sovereign and the
