there IS none, perhaps, more baneful-
moro deleterious in Its effects upon society
than that of scandal. When trivial faults
are exaggerated into monstrous crimes,
and the slightest errors into the mis-
doings of weighty kind the best in the
community may well fear for their repu-
tation. This vice arrays neighbor against
neighbor, and scatters the seed of moral
contamination, of discord and ruin, among
the most virtuous and happy. 1t sunders
the most endearing charities of life-the
bonds OF union and friendship, and makes
the current of life, hitherto calm and IN
rutfied, rude and tempestuous "Do

OF feeling, which marks the character of

A DISPATCH FROM GENERAL

HEADQ'Rs ARMY OF THE PoTos1AC.0
July 3, $50 z. NJ, near Gettysburg.
To Naj. Gen. HalIech, General-a,- C2lief'

guns concentrated upon my left centre,
continuing without intermission for about
three hours, at the expiration of WHICH
time he assaulted my left centre twice.
being upon both occasions handsomely re-
pulsed with severe loss to him, leaving in
our hands nearly three thousand prisoners;
among the prisoners being Gen. Armis-
tead and many colonels, and officers OF
lesser note
1he enemy left many dead upon the
field, and a large number of wounded in
our hands.
The loss upon our side has been con-
siderable. Major General Hancock and
blgadler General Gibbon were wounded.
Alter the repelling of the assault, indi-
cations tending to Il belief that the enemy
might be withdrawing, an armed recon
nolssance was pushed forward from the
lett, and the enemy found to be in force.
AT the present hour all is quiet.
My cavalry have been engaged all day
ON both tanks of the enemy, harassing
and vigorously attacking him with great
success, Notwithstanding they encountered

! details of the situation. Great skill has
been shown by our leading officers in the
management of the whole affair. Quick
ly were the tables turned in our favor, be-
fore the imbecility of the Administration
at Washington had time to paralyze the
movement of our troops, which has re-
suited in victory to us and terrible loss,
| if not the utter disintegration of the rebel
army.
The grand movements Of Gen. Lee, up
the Cumberland Valley resulted either
from necessity, or strategy which he
| failed to achieve but in which ever light
we may view his movements, or whatever
may be our conjectures in regard to his
designs, it is, probably, the first successful
stroke OF our army towards breaking the
backbone of rebellion; and we hail it
with JOY, believing that if the Admins
| tration at Washington would withdraw
its foolish proclamations and tyrannical
edicts and act in strict conformity with
the Constitution, giving practicable signs
OF repentance, and a return to the policy
laid down by Congress in July '6l, that
hope and the dawning of peace nigh, yet
unite distracted people under the old
flag and the old Constitution. But if the
tanaticisms of Abolitionism are to be pur-
sued, the reverse of General Lee will be
of little avail to US. Having now the I'M
certaintics Of war turned in our favor, if
we would continue to be successful, we
must steer by the Constitution, and for
ever discard the follies of negro equality :;
we must extend the olive branch TO our
wayward sisters" giving them full as
surances of our sincerity to unite with
them in the old Union under the old Con-
stitution. 1t is in this way alone that
we may expect any good result from a
war for the restoration Of the Union.
Although successful, our loss has been
great; and while it is a source of general
| rejoicing, sorrow has disturbed the peace
| of many thousand homes 1t is this that
should check the madness of the Adminis-
tration and once for all throw flnaticism
aside, and for the sake of a suffering pco-
pie, seek the speedy termination of a strife
which is fast depopulating our fair land.

FLOWERS. has our thanks for
the significant compliment paid US. We
received the boquette, and assure our lady
friend, that we appreciate the present.
We love flowers, and although not faml-
liar with their language, we can admire
their simple beauty and dwell upon the
sublime lessons they teach. The poetess
MARY HowTrr, in the following lines, has
beautifully sung the goodness of God in
in the creation of flowers.
"God might have made the earth bring
forth
Enough for great and small,
The oak-tree and the cedar>tree,
Without flower at all,
He might have made enough, enough
For every want of ours:
For luxury, medicine, and toll,
And yet have made no flowers.
Our outward life requires them not
Then wherefore have they birth ?
To minister delight to man,
To beautify the earth !;
10 comfort man-to whisper hope,
Whcne'er his faith is dim;
For whose careth for the flowers,
Will much more care for him !"
