the advance of their own infuntry on the

on cur side equally well di.-^posod. The
enemy came on in an unbroken line, which
outflanked us and reaciied into the wood
on our left. To rem.jdy this, Ijcaven-
wortli’s battalion was obliipied to the

j gcs had been at once seen atid .seized by
I superiority of generalship and that rapidi-
! ty and precision of inameuvre to which
■ his men had now been brougiit, so as to
be able (as they should) to exccute an im
portant movement almost as soon as their
! general had conceived it. l>iit this was
not all; a still more decisive evolution was
at hand.
' The movements just described had
i brought the adverse line. to exactly- that
body he had sent across the ]S«iagarn.
Pau.sing, therefore, only long enough to
report the fact by an aid-de-camp to Gen.
Brown, Scott pushed right on. He had
no sooner passed the wood than he found
himself in the presence—nay, under the
severe fire—of a force full live hundred
stronger than his own, and more advan
tageously posted. For they had chosen
their positions, and stood on it readv
drawn up in order of battle, occupying
with their artillery (nine pieces) an ele
vation which commanded the whole ground.
The JJritish line lay stretched along
Lundy’s Lane, a little beyond (north of)
it; its right, ue:.r which were its artillery.
clock, however, before they finally, with
uo very good grace, gave up the contest
and abandoned the field to us. In driving
back one of the last of these obstinate and
bloody charges, Scott received a very se
vere musket-shot wound, which shattered
all the bones of his left shoulder, and still
greatly disables that arm. Gen. Hrown,
also, was badly wounded about the same
time; and both (renerals had to be borne
from the field, with hurts that left it doubt
ful if cither would ever be able to serve a-
gain. We have only to add, in regard to
the tight of Chippewa, that if modern times
can show us battles on a greater scale or
more decisive iu their consequences than

rere sent across the Niagara with
brigatles to take Fort Frie. It so-^n
*idercd its 170 men, wiiile the re^^t of
t.ince of the enemy, yuur flanks are sud
dcnly pushed forward and your line thrown
into the shape of the rafters of a rather
flat-roofed house, while the enemy s line
occupies, in regard to if, the position which
the sleepers have to the rafter.'. The ef-
t\‘ct of this is to converge the file of your
line upon his centre and cut it in two; to
finish which i peratiou, you tlun charg(>
upi>n him, (the two angles of yuir line
moving upon the same j>oint on which their
double tire was just now poured,) and the
bayonet ends what the balls began. 'I’his
juovcment, when well executed, inevitably
breaks your adversary’s line, and is fatal;
no troops can stand it.] Scott now j)Ut it
in practice. 'J'he oppo.-.ing lines had ad
vanced upon each other, firing, halting, re
loading. and advancing again by turns, un
til now they were within eighty yards of
each otl)er. 'J’hcn Scott gave the word f'tir
the evi.hitioti pttriirc. To add to its i f-
fe.-t, he had a moment bt'fore rii'den over
t«j Towsoii’s artillery, (which he pcrceived
was, from the smoke and the » ncni_\’s ad
vance, tiring too much to the right, i and
told that aide gunner where next to pour
his balls; and his u^ xt raking discharge
was aceoidingly v ry dc.-tructive. A mo
ment after, the infantry made its matueu-
vre. No soomr was its tloubic fire jioured
in than Scott called out to MtNcil's bat
talion, “The enemy say we are o'.ily gool
at long .»hot, and can't staml the cold iron!
J call upon the Kicvinth to give the lie t(»
that siundcrl (.’harge! " A like ortler
v.'as given, at the .sune monient. to Leavcn-

upon the enemy’s centre with thi' bayont t.
It was instantly overthrown; and with it
the whole main botly i»f the Briti.'h army
broke, and fled iu total confu.'iou. Ahout
the .same time .Ksnp, under a heavy fire,
advanced upon the enemy in the wood,
forced them to retire, and thus comjd-.-tid
their defeat at all jjoints. Such was the
masterly acti\ity ot‘ Scott (others may
boast of “mast'Tly inactivity") that before
liipley, whom (Jen. Browii had gone to or
der up, could arrive, the battle had been
Won, and Scott was hotly pur^tiing the
routed adversary back acro.>s Chippewa
bridge into their entrent hnu'nts. It was
at the moment when hi.^ terrilie charge ut-
terl}' broke them to pieces, anl covered
the plain with their fallen and their fi\ing,

We need hardly say that this was lliall, j
j and that instead of having (according to I
j the j-ositive information Brown was acting j

But suppose the Intelligencer had not
noticed it. The Locofocos could draw no |

“Blt one Stei' from the Sublime
T(» THE Rilijcuj.ous.”—The Washington
I'nion of the oth inst., published a “thril
ling dialogue” between Mr. Henry A.
^V ise and a Mr. !Map at a Locofoco meet
ing in Virginia. The dialogue as report
ed in the I’nion is very sublime and ver^’
thrilling, but as the occurrences related !
Hvi'tr uri urrifl tit n//, it turns out to be
extremely ridiculous.
II ere’s the dialogue aTil the contradic
tion by one of the parties, which the
I’nion says it is ‘’not disposed to ques-
fion.”
Dover, (N. H.) .August 11, ls;)0.
To tlir /Jifihir df the, (_ ittfili:
Sir; In the AVashington L’liiou of the
•Oth instant under the head “Electing iu
Accomac, A'irginia—Thrilling Dialogue,”
a ctmvers.ition is said to have occurred be
tween Mr. Wise an«l a Mr. Map at a jtub- j
lie meeting, in which “the following thril
ling dialogue took place;” j
.Mr. Wise. ‘‘Were you in New Hamp- j
shire two years ago, and did you not hear i
Hale speak, and .say in his speech that ‘he
would head an army to inarch upon the
South and put down slavery?”
Mr. Map. ‘T was there; heard Mr. Hale i
speak, and say what you state.” 1
Mr. V\'ise. “Did you not hear Franklin j
Pii'rce rejt^y to this, and say: ‘If Hale j
should heatl an army to march on the i
South, he h.id first to march over his
(Pierce’.s) dead body; for he would head
an army to oppo.se him?’ ”
Mr. Map. “I did.”
The account then proceed.s: “You can
imagine the feeling which this reply '
elicited. The court-house rang with shouts
of applau.se repeated again and again. Mr.
Wise then requested his opponent to state
the facts again, which he lid to an almost
breathless auditory; ‘Gen. I’ierce did say,
(slapping his baud upon his breast,) that
Hale would have to pass over his dead i
body before he marched upon the South.” j
'J'o this permit me briefly to repl}’, that
for whatever purpose such a dialogue may j
have been s])okeu in a A'irginia court-j
house, there is not a .syllable of truth iu
the whole of it. Nii such remark was ■
ever made by me, and, of course, no such .
answer by (ien. Pierce; nor was there a 1
meeting holdeii in New’ Hampshire, or
elsewhere, in w hit h su( h a dialogue could
have occurred. General Pierce and my
self have not spoken at the same public
meeting since 1840, when we both s}>oke \
on the same side, but once, and tli.it was
at the North Church, in Concord, New
Hampshire, June, 1S4.>; and I am sure '
that (d‘the thou.saiids w ho attended that
meeting, not one can be found who will
pretend that anything of the kinil took
place at that time. That however, has
nothing to do with the statement, as the
remarks ndated by Mr. Mapp were uiade
at a meeting Indden two years since.
Respectfully yours,
JOHN 1'. HALE. 1
P. S.—.\n\* one who doubts the cor
rectness of my statement can be satisfied
by applying to Mr. i’ierce him.self.
J. i*. H.
"Will the Locofoco p.-ipcrs in North
Carolina w hit h have circulated this story
as an offset to Pierce’s abolition speech
give their readers the benefit of its coutra-
tliction? We imagine not. For nio.st of
them seem to think that “a lie well stuck
to is as rood as the truth.”
