A. MISCELLANEOUS. From the tiichmond Compiler. SKETCH OF THE MISHAPS OF AN UGLY MAN. ‘‘I startle at myself.”—[ Young. I (ini one of those unfortunate beings called tin ugly m in.

But the face, de scription would fail In the attempt to picture it lo your “mind's eye;" a low freckled fore 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.

Even the parson of the viHtigo stJembdshyofnio—and I remember oue Sunday, hispfsacliing on the nature and ten dency dfsin, the good man, after stumbling a- while, exclaimed, “Why my hearers, sin is as tigiy as Billy.” “Then,” exclaimed the clerk yt a whisper, “it must bo awful.” My father had to pay a private tutor* an itinerant school' master, who had brought out«. bad »f notions from Vann out to Virginity., consisting of, as ho afterwards informed me, though in confi dence, wooden nutmegs, ltorn gun flints, and dried red flannel sausages—which having sold to advantage, in the upper part of the State, he concluded to remain a while in town, and advertised to “/arti tho citizens of— , and its vicinity,- English Gram me f in five lessons, fojuUbphip in?lialf the time.” Failing, however, lie hired himself to ray lather for a dollar a week “and found,” as* ray tutor. 1 made rapid progress uiidci my master—and in six months had gone quite through .'“Dil worthy and was in hourly expectation of commencing the EngHMt reader, when my tutor, who had received a letter from Varmont to return, told my father I had finished my dedication, and !Kms aliln t > spell with any body’s son.” The oi l hiau lia;l jtis misgivings, however, and hir ed another, who in about a year had led by the li^ntl through the usual routine of. an English education, and who created a great rel ish m ran lor poetry and music: ’twould do,my father good to hear my tut ira'nd myself recite, sometimes Young’s Revenge, sometimes Rich ard the Third; and then I always personated Richard, and with my eye “in a fine frenzy roll- ini',” would give a wonderful effect to thc per- f'ii«:i»cr.

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 distinctly seeu from die battle ground.

From this plain the Anjcricap camp was separated by a small creek.

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. and extendiug ou to the river on*the one baud, and the forest on thcother, filled-the whole back ground of the landscape.

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 !
