head;. one eye nearly as large as a dollar, the
other about ns big as a ninepence; a nose of
tilt bardolphian kind, and a rnolith, which an.
enemy took occasion once to say, looked like
the opening of a crater. It is said my mother
was so frightened when sho first saw me, that
she wont into hysterics—and my father order
ed out an old maiden lady, wlip't in order to
ingratiate hers If with the family, called me “a
pretty child, the picture oT its father." My
nurse never used any other epithet when talk
ing of or to-ma, than tllk* ©f “little devil'” and
i whenever neighboring nurses wished to frighten
the children into a quiet, they would threaten
to scud for nlc to play with them—this invaria
bly acted as a quietus. I remember the first

a tub of .water, and happening to look in; I saw
what I fancied was a lull* grown monster, ga

The first thing I undertook' to perform, as

to rob a noiglihorVorchard.-. While testing the
qualities of his apples, I espied his hounds

at mo in speeehlcss wonder. I rolled my eyes

mouth to cry. No sooner had I gave one gen

HORRORS' OF BATTLE.
“Tbo battle took place on tbc margin of the
Niagara river, an extensive plain, which had one#
becu covered with fine farms, but now forsaken
by the Inhabitants, and desolated by war, it ex
hibited ouly a barrctravstc. The river at that
place begins to acquire some ol that terrific velo
city, with which it rushes over the awful preci
pice three miles below, creating one of the grand
est natural curiosities iu existence; the noise of
(lie cataract is heard, mid the coluntu of foam

other side, the field is hounded by a thick forest,
but lift plain itself present* :t level, smooth sur
face, unbroken by ravines, aiiil w* ,tc **t twtree or
bush to intercept the view,- or nu obstacle to

plain the Anjcricap camp was separated by a
small creek. Itr the fttllglare of tho summer sun
on the morning of the 5tU of July, the* .British
troops were,seen advancing towards our camp,
across tho destined field of strife; their waviug
pinnies, their scarlet uniforms, and gilded orna
ments exhibited a gay aud gorgeous appearance.
Their martial music, their firm an J rapid* stop,
indicating elastic hopes aud high courage?'-Tne
Americans inferior iu number.- were hastily put
in irotiou td 'meet the advancing foe; they cross
cd a small rtble bridge, the only outlet from the
camp, under a heavy fire of the euetny’s artillery;
aud moved steadily to the spot selected for the
engagement. The scene, at this’irionicut was
beautiful and imposing- The British Hue glow
ing with gold and with crimson hues was stretched
across the plain, fl inked by pieces of brass* ordi
nance, whose rapid discharge spread death over
the field, and filled tho air with thunder; wliHb
the c'ottds of smoko enveloping each extremity
of the liue.-left the centre only exposed to tho eye.

from the room ov< rturning every thing in my
way, and hooking my foot in tho corner ol the
carpet, was precipitated down the stair-way.
I could hear the loud laughter of tho company
ringing in my ears, as tip, tip, tip, my unfortu

flight. 1 saw that my misfortune had been de
liberately planned, and I Swore in my heart,

lent billiiius attack, which lasti^d near two
months; and 1 w is surprised one day by the
sight of my old tutor, the Varmonter ? he had
been passing through with his notions, and
,nc ranks advancing furiously with levelled bayonets.
It was a refinement of discipline rarely exhibited,
and here altogether unexpected. --The'Americans
stood until the enemy approached within a few
paces; uutil the focilictt could see the firoflashing
from each other's eyes;’and could read tho ex
pression of his adversary’s face ; then deliberate
ly as was the word given; die Americans levelled
tlieir plbces’ and fired—tho whole of tho enemy’s
line seemed aunlltilatcd ! Many were killed; ma
ny wounded, and sonio rushing forward with, a
powerful momentum, fell over their prostrato
couipaulons; or wore thrown down by the weight
of succeeding combatants. In otic instant tho
ground occupied by th’H gallant litre; was cover-'
cd'by flying Britons'; hi nno-herr a second Imn
had advanced .to sustain the contest, while the
broken fragments of llto first were rallied behind
it. Tho “Buffalo' inilitla” >vcrc now tho assail

As the victors returned from the piirsuit-of tho
retiring enemy, a scene of iutenso interest was
presented.—They travrrsod the field Which a few
minutes before had sparkled witH the proud equi
page of war. There had been gallant men and
^ay uniforms and wnving banners ; and there had
been drums nod trumpets, and Uie wild notes of
tlio bugle stirring the soul to action- There had
been nodding plumes and beating-hearts,' anti eyes
that gleamed with vnler and ambition.
There too^bad been tempestuous chiefs, emu
lous of fame, dashing their fiery steeds along tho
hostile ranks; and there had been all tho spirit

c:ir, and the heart.of the young warrior, giving
more than tho poet’s fire, to the entranced imag
ination. \\ r hnt a change had a few brief mo
ments produced 1 Now the field was strewed
with the ghastly and itisfigured forms, with,the
wounded, with the tuiTtulated and the dying.-—
The ear was filled with strange, and melancholy,
anH terrific sounds, the shouts of victory bad giv
en place tn grojuis of angui-h, the complaints of
the vanquished, the prayers' or the imprecations
of tho dying. Here was one who called upon
Heaven to protect his children; another raved of
a bereaved wife; n third tenderly aspired a be
loved name, concentrated only by that tie—while
others depreented their own suffering or pleaded
pi’: ously for the pinion of their sins. Here wore
those who prayed ardently for death, anil some
who impl ire-.l a few minutes more of life- Com
plaints of bodily p .in, and confessions of unre
pen'ed crime, burst fnrilt from the souls of many
in heart rending accents; while -one, ns they ga

Several occurrences of a melancholy nature,
ami one of a most atrocious character, have

Mr. F. congratulated himself that a few days
of reflection had shown that the suggestions
he had thrown out when tl;e Senator from
Kentucky (Mr. Clay,) ask'cd leave lo introduce
tho hfilj and .for whjclt hti .hari bt'rn somewhat
fiercely assaibdVroin all quarters, were not
entirely so unreasonable and anti-pacific as
they had been denominated. The validity of
the constitutional objection had been substan
tially conceded. The . Senate, too, to save*
time, had waited for tlih bill lfonr*the .House
qf Representatives, and it -was now admitted
that tonvait for the next Congress to settle this
vexed question would brf a losing game to the
manufacture!^-. Tlie Senator from Kentucky
says lie- saw the torch about to be applied to
»at bill was s
violation ot tlie Constitution, if he admh t ..t

(Mr. Calitoua.interposed and said, !te!;op^
the Senator from Georgia would take likiri 0 | t
pjoposition between the States as separatf
independent communities, and still subsist;^
as independent communities united by cob- !
pact.)
. Mr. F. said, he'did not understand tlien- i
mark to have been so qualified. It was not im ^
portaut, however, to enter into the opinion u II
detail. He had expressed and ho now rt-pest,
ed his ron\iction, Tor which he claimed 5S
the credit for sincerity dug to that express^
by the gentleman from South Carolina,

to be assailed on that ground, and was qaiu
ready to meet the assault. Standing a!oa I
more than once before his constituents, he lujl T

F. heard with pltfasttre .that, tlid -Tariff waste it

tltreadbarfi* as a matter of dispute; a prettT

’planation. - It was now-tinie to lopk for soac-
thing new, and the-bill'“to. repeal the Consi
tsitlon” might serve for a ferm, until sonttlla
better ofi'ered. Mr. F. rejoiced to hear tls
the contest was to be bloodless; there was u
be no force. Paper Bullets of the brain tmt
to be subntituted for musket balls; the canttoa
of the *press for tlto cannon of the artillerist:
steel pens for steel bayonets; and the carload

Mr. F. could not refrain from .‘aijdressaji 1

away. He did more; he demonstrated that it
in imminent peril. Mr. F. recomnietided
to the Senator from Maine, (Mi.. Sprague,)
who had rushed upon hini with.ftp ntiujt knight-,
ly fury for expressing this ojilnion some - days
since, to couch his lauce and charge upon the
Senator from Kentucky’’, whost? crime was cer

thc.23d clause. * * ‘ ■ %
Two amendment’s V/e’re jibbffoscd by. Mr.
O’Con icll to tlie 12;h clause. Tho Object of
the first* was to allow the Government to select
as Judge Advocate to the Courts martial “any
barrister of not less than live yvirs sfirditig.”
This.was agreed to.' As the clause "originally
stood the Selection' was restricted to" King’s'
SantiitfK and K :t"’s Counsel. The ufii-ct
greed to, with the limitation' that the court
should be closed while t!i« members.considered
theft vefdict.’ ,
On tbaraotjoQ ofMr. Stanlry, tlto 16tB clause
was 1 so amended as to render it necessary that
warrants against persons refusing to .attend to
give evidence should be issued by the whole
Court. As the clause stood before,'any single
member of the Court had power to issue such
warrant.
I11 tlie 17th clause Mr. O.’Connell moved nit
amendment, which was not objected'to, and
which prevents the courts martial from indict
ing corporal punishment of any kind.
Tim 18th clause being thought to render it
imperative on the patrols, in a proclaimed dis
trict, to detain all persons whom they’ found
out at night until tried by a court martial, Mr.
Stanley offered to amend the clause in such
way as would allow of bail being taken for the
appearance of parties, and as would direct that
no person should be arrested-cxcept imd r cir
cumstances of suspicion. The clause, so a-
mended, was agreed to.
In the lOrlt clans’ , which gives the power of
domiciliary visits, some important alterations
were made, on the motion of tho Solicitor Gen
eral. The clause, as now amended forbids the
... P™ lucc :'. «fi?uraity. The moderate 1 eroater evil maj ,
men ol both parties have not united to arrange!,
this question, l'hoyare not numerous enough

opposeraof the tariff have entered, into. 11 ego-

mail was tq be paid*to the .Caterans, and -for
ItowJoag, for the cdming ’qt proritile of future
immunity from tlieir predatoYy utroads. Both
theorcticully and practically it is adniittingr

unimportant to the principle. A duty ofSOpe
