Fromtho Front,

We have no intelligence of a definite
character from the front, at the time of
writing this paragraph. Probably our
midnight dispatches will enlighten US.
We have reports, not authentic, however,
that on Sunday the Reserve Corps, under
Major General Granger, suffered a Sc
we're loss, and that General Thomas
troops after fighting calamity for long
while, were thrown temporarily into con-
fusion. They soon rallied, however, and
resumed their former good order, and
resisted tho desperate attack of the reb-
els effectively. Our forces were concen-
trAted, and no doubt was entertained of
their successful resistance, TO the ava
lanche of rebel troops which poured up
on them from all parts of the COnfeder-
acy. Rumor also stated our loss in
wounded on Sunday at 5000 The loss
in killed was much less in proportion,
though we heard no number stated. We
have heard no estimate 81 the rebel loss
We know that they are in DO condition ia
be able to lose any thing.
Every great battle must be a heavy,
and an irreparable loss to them in the
present rapid decline of their fortunes.
On the contrary the Republic has not
yet put forth its strength. Its power has
been held in reserve. But it must put il
forth now. Our cry was "Hurry on the
troops y weeks ago, when we had one
great victory after another, and others

their action was characterized by timid-

The citizen meeting in Platte county,
Missouri, for the consideration of the
question of emancipation, WAS very large
ly attended. The speakers partioipa-
ting in the discussion were those most
distinguished for their hostility TO eman.
oipatiOn in former times, OF these, Col.
james N. Burnes was prominent who
spoke for an hour in favor of the imme-
dia'e abolishment of Slavery in Missou-
ri. His position was sustained by the
meeting, although Jesse Norm opposed
the proposition. A resolution favoring
the call Of a new Convention was pass
ed, when the meeting adjourned. This
is one Of the most remarkable revolu-
tions in public sentiment ever witnessed
in any community. Platte county has
always been most bitterly opposed to
emancipation in any form, II was, 81
one time, dangerous for a free State man
to give utteTAnce 10 his sentiments in
that county. 1t is a wealthy commune
ty. Most of the citizens are or were
large shareholders, IL was, at one time,
the home OF d. +. Siringfollow, the Achil-
lee whose prowess was exhausted in de-
Tense of the insti tuition Of Slavery, du-
ring the difficulties attending the settle
ment of Kansas.

Powerful Argument for FHnau-
Cipaiion.

We find in The Baltimore American OF
the 1G.h inst, a very able address to the
people Of Maryland, by The Union Cen
trail Committee, the following extracts
from which will be perusod with avidity
by the people of Tennessee.
CONVENTION rRcposED.
The Address says:
Since "the people know that the sub
stance (ol slavery 10 already gonefan
that only The skeleton has been left" we are
of the opinion that the sooner the skei-
elm" is removed the better 10 will be for
the true interests Of the State and the
nation; al the same time we are fully
persuaded Tia: this can only be accom-
pIisbed by at once bringing the people
face TO face with it in the election Of
such men only ss are willing 10 discharge
their whole constitutional duty by &C
cspliug their full measure Of response
biiity sn calling a Constitutional CoavsHi5n
at the earliest uaome1e practicable.
In presenting the nominees Of the Un-
conditional Union party for the suiiragcs
OF the people of Mary land, we desire TO
have no concealment of our views or
their own. We believe o manly, frank
course is the best, and that true men will
deBpise hypocrisy and subteriuge in this
hour of the nations peril, and recognize
| hostility 10 the Government conceal it.
self under Whatever garment Of loyalty
il may, or call itself by what title it may
! choose.
Fellow citizsne, the men we present to
you are in favor Of supporting the Adj
ministration in every effort TO put down
the rebellion, aud in every measure which
it is thought necessary for the perma-
nent peace of the country when the re
bellion shall have been subdu d.
We believe that the only way TO put
down the rebellion is TO put 10 down by
force of arms, and for this purpose we
are willing TO vote every dollar necessa
ry, and TO give every available man,
black or white.
We do not think ourselves at all supe-
rior TO our ancestors of revolutionary
memory, who fought side by side with
colOred troops, nor to Andrew jack n
who commanded and complainant tie
colored militia who fought with him al
| New Orleans. We believe il is the boun-
den duty Of the President - use all force
and every weapon which God has pu
within his grasp, and the laws which th,
United States have authorized him t
WELD, in defence Of the nation.
Traitors have no choice as 10 tn
weapons which are TO be used in thei
destruction, and loyal men only ash tina
they be speedy and sure.

HAPPINESS.

The defnition Of happiness is not easy, il
we understand by it, not merely certain fortu-
nate accidents, but rather that feeling thro
which the interior man receives his deepest
sensa tions of pleasure or pain, for it is very
possible to suffer many and great griefs, and
yetnot feel thoroughly unhappy in consequence
but rather to find our moral and intellectual
nature so purified and exalted thereby, that
we would not wish to change it for any other.
On the other hand, we may be in possession Of
much peace and enjoyment in the things grant
ed us-we may have absolutely no grief-and
yet find without ourselves an insupportabe
void To be happy, we require proper en-
ployment for the mind and the fee1ings-cer-
taisly varied one, that shall be suitable to
tie general character, and so much as to salts
fy every need Of cxistencer.
What is needed to make life really VALUABLE
and happy is mind thoroughly aliye-rich in
the power of reproducing all that it gains in
wardy from its own communings with itself
or externally from its observations on men and
thingss or else the steady working out Of a Sc
ries of ideas, begun carly, and embracing in
their course perhaps the great6r portion OF
life.
1t is my firm conviction that man has only
himself TO blame. if his life appears to him at
any time void of interest and Of pleasure
Man may make life what he pleaSes. and give
it as mech worth, both for himself and others,
as he has energy for. Over his moral and in-
telleetuaI being His sway is complete VIM

SCANDAL.

How prevalent is the sin OF SCANDAL? Per
baps DO sin is 50 common; perhaps none COM
mitted with so little thought, or remembered
with less remorse. 1t is sin, not like some
others, chiefly committed by the open slaves o
the world and the wicked one; but alas! frequent
by these who profess to follow the benetulent
Savior, from whose lips not one word Of scan
dal ever dropped. This sin is perpetrated in
various ways. 1t is committed not nearly by
the siandere who fabricates falsehoods respect
ing bis neighbor, but by them, who circulate
these ialshoods A tale-bearer comes, and
brings some plausible account to anolhers dis
grace 1t may be true, it may not; the Sian
derer seldom takes much pains to innIire, bal
spreads the report far and wide; aud in doing
so, gives publicity to the wiliul lie Of an aban-
doned liar, and makes himself partakcr o
that liars crimes. If they to whom lie relate.
this account respect him, this adds new weight
TO the scandal. They spread it farther still
and coufrm the account by relating from whom
they heard the odious tale Thus huudred
or u thousand make themselves partakers in
the guilt Of the first lie, and of all the seanda
that flows from the fabrication. But it rs not
merely when circulating Gslsebood, that the
guilt of scaHdal is incurred: it is incurred to a
dreadful extent by pcrsogis who eirculate wLar

pleads in excuse for his mi<chievous conduct
"Tbe account give is. true" 1t may be So
but it is not All THE TRUTH, or it is TRUTH

right 10 repeat.
1t is not ALL the truth. Perhaps brother
has fallen into sin. The slanderer hears of it
and aways he goes, and, like trusty mesSen-
ger, bears the news through the whole circle
OF bis acquaintance. II is true that the sin
has, been committed; but there are perhaps
circumstances connected with it, which so aI
extenuate the guilt as to call for pity to the
offender rather than the severity of censure.
All these circumstances, however, the SLAM
derer takes no care to omit. Perhaps the Of
fender fell the victim of temptation so strong
that, thus tempted, his slanderer would have
fallen into crimes tea times as greats bat O
this the slanderer says nothing. Perhaps he

tary error; but of this the backbirer too is 81
lent. He tells not half the truth-Rer J. G.

GuARn YOUR. LANGUAGE.

There is as much connection between the
words and the thoughts as there is between the
thoughts and the actions. The latter are not
only the expression of the former, but they
have a power to react upon the soul AMI leave
the stain of their corrnption there. A young
mar who allows himself to use one vulgar or
profaue word has not only shown thai there is
a lou spot upon his mind, but by the utter
aace Of that word he extends that spot and in
fhnias it till by indulgence it will pollute and
ruin The whole soul. Be careful Of your words
as well as your thoughts If you can so control
the tongue that no improper words are pro
nounced by it, you will soon be able, also, tc
control the mind and save that from corrup
ton. You extinguish the fire by smothering
it, or by preventing bad thoughts bursting out
in bad language. Never utter word any
where which you would be ashamed to speak
in the presence of the most refined female Oh
the most religious man. Try this practice 8
little while, and you will soon have command
of yourself

How Gamblers Cheat.

t The Cleveland Herald describes the devi-
ces Of 4 gambler, named Conli,k, who was re-
Gently arsesled in that city, as sll.ows:
The rooms occupied by Couli-k on tie third
floor consist of Sitting room, where the gam
bling done. and bed room. The sitting
room was furnished in tie usual manner, aud
had a faro table near the windows, and draw
poker table in the center Of tho room, with
chairs placed to each. The walls aud ceiliug
of the room are papcred, with paper cf star
pattern.
Directly over the rooms are two small
rooms, so occupied BY Deulisk. but not fur
nished. A portion of the flooring has been re
moved in the room Immediately over the gaul-
bling room, aud small hole bored through
the ceiling of the room below, above each OF
the tables. As the holes come directly through h
the center of star pattern in the paper, they
are scarcely distinguishable from below. Each
hole is SO placed as 10 enable person apply
ing his eye to it, to look directly iuto the band
of the player seated in the chair below.
An ingenious telegrnphic signal machine
was discovered communicating between those
holes 10 the room above and the chair Of the
gambler in the room below. A wire. having
handle near the hole passed along between
the flooring of the room above and the ceiling
of the room below the corner of the gambling
room and bed room. 1t enters the bed room
and passes down in the corner, being concea.-
ed by strip of board nailed up aud papercd
over. 1t then passes under the floor of the
gambling room to the table, where small
piece OF the flooring has been cut away close
by the table leg, where the LEFT foot OF the
gambler would be placed whilst playing
There it terminates in spring and hammer,
concealed by the carpet.
The method Of working this Invention for
robbing by machinery seems to haze been as
foll0ws: The victim to be operated upon
inds two chairs drawn up to the table. In
one of these the gambling thief seats himself
at once, placing his foot over the telegraph
hammer The victim is obliged to take the
other, which is placed in the proper position
ior playing. The gamblers accompice in the
room above stretches himself on mattrass,
with his eye at the peep -hole-ard ole hand
grasping the telegraph Lubdle. As soon as
le sees the cards he telegraphs their descrip-
tion according TO an arranged code Of signals
10y pulling the handle, when the hammer strikes
he desired number Of raps on The sole of the
gambl,r's boot or slipper the sound being
mufled by the carpet.
OF course it is easy to see that the man who
sits down to play with such gambler is rob
ped as surely, completely, and Systematically
as II he had been bound haud and foot and dc
livered over to highwayman, and OF the two
robbers, the highwayman would be the more
decent man.
