At the end or forty year the gallent ser vices of this brave officer have become a eub-j-ct cl" inquiry in Congress, and the circum stance jaduces us to turn to our filra and pie sent some retnirnscenses of his achievemeuis. and some aUo of hi distinguished contempo raries. Gen. Brown died in 1S28. and eminent surgeons testify that his death was hastened by, if not the positive result of. the wound received by him at Bridge water, near Ning ara Falls, on the 25'h July, 1814. One ol ,hid wounds was in i lie shoulder, the other 'n the thigh, and the firmer was kept open until a short period before his death. The llih section of the act ol 29ih Janua ry, 1313, authorizes a pension to the widow of any officer who shall have died whili in actual service, of any wound received in ser vice, to the amouut of half ihe monthly pay no which the deceased was entitled. One of the accou.,,;jng officers reported fa vorably on the caae of Mrs. Brown, widow 61' Gen. Brown, but the report was not concurred : in by a higher officer ; and now a committee of Congress propose to remedy the matter and grant a pension to M-s. Brown. The b.itile of Chippewa was fought on the 5th of July, 1814. and that ol Bridgewa- trr on the 25;h. both under the command of Gen. Brotvn. It will be remembered that the GL-neral's fine military capacity was Pist developed whilit in command of a brigade of rniliiia at Sackell's Harbor. His appointment to a similar position in the regular army soon fol lowed, and proved to be a measure ol sng.i city on the part of President Madison. Gen. Brown had two balls extracted after the bat tle of Bridge water. Gen. Scott also receiv ed two severe wounds in the same action, one in the shoulder and one in the leg. The following extract from a Biographical : Sketch of General Brown may not be with- out interest at this moment : "Jacob Brown. Although it sometimes happens that circumstances create the ne eesary talents for the occasion, yet it is much better to have men acquainted with all that has been done in war or peace ready lor ser vice. Among those men who have started up at the moment they are wanted, and act ed their part with honor, was the late Maj. Gen. Brown. He began life m llh the peace ful tenets of a Quaker, and pursued the un obtrusive employment of a teacher of youih. For some lime he was not aware of the spirit thai was with him, but at length he saw the un rise and" set while he was in the 6ame dull round ol humble duty, and the thought came over him that he 'was destined for a more active nature. In 1799 he went on to the frontiers of New Yoik. and purchased e lot ofland. took his axe, and began to fell the forest with his own hard in order to com mence a settlement. This was soon done ; he purchased more land, and was made agent for M. Le Roy de Chaumont, a distinguished Frenchman, who owned a large tract of that country, and was industrious in obtaining settlers; and wh.en he had enough for a com pany ol militia they were formed, and he so lar shook off the Quaker as to take the com--inand of them, at their urgent request. From the command of a company he soon found himself at the head of a regiment, and from that office, at the commencement of the. war of 1S12. he was raised to a major-general ; and when the militia was first called upon lo assist the regular troops on the fror.ticrs. ids name had hardly reached Washington, "but such was hia promptness, efficiency, and cuccess, that the General Government prof fered him a high command in the army ol the United States. It was accepted, and he moved on from one degree of fame to another in this short war. until he found himself at tht hrad of the arrav. and at the return of peace he made his headquarters at Waeh intrtun. and remained there until his death in 1828." BATTLE OF CHIPPEWA. .Fort Erie, on the Canada side, was captu- w. .1 n t X " T I 1 O 1 4 red by Uen. Jirowu on tne oi jmy. ioi and one hundred and s. verity prisoners, m- rln, liner seven officers, taken. The battle of Chippewa was fought on the 5th of July. It was a bloody but brilliant affair. The lollowini? account ol it, contained in a letter .Irota Gen. Brown, is worth reprinting: "Chippewa Plains, July 6. 1814. 'Fori Erie did not. as I ussured you it t-houhl not, detain me a single day. At 11 o"clock on the night of the 4th I arrived at this place with the reserve, Gen. Scott hav ing taken the position about noon with the van. My arrangements tor turning and tak ing in rear the enemy's posiiion east of Chip pewa were made, when Major tien. Riall. .suspecting our intention, and adhering to the rule that it is belter lo give than receive an attack, came from behind his works, and a bout five o'cl rck in the afternoon of the 5ih. in order of battle. We did not baulk him. Before six o'clock A is line was broken and his forces defeated, leaving on the field 400 killed and wounded. He was closely press ed. and would have been utterly ruined b'H lor the proximity of his works, whither he fled for shelter. The wounded of the ene my and those ol our own army must be at 4ended to. They will be removed to Buffalo." In his general orders, dated -6th of July. 1814, he says, through his adjutant general. Col. Charles K. Gardner : Major Gen. Brown has the satisfaction to ,aay that fhe soldiers of the 2d division, west of I he Niagara, merit greater applause than he is able to bestow in general orders they -merit the highed approbation of their coun try. The conduct of Gen. Scott's brigade, which had the opportunity to engage the whole force of the enemy, (the greater part, it is believed, of all within the peninsula.) removes, in the day of this buttle, the refiVc lidn on our country that its reputation in arms is yet to be established. 'fowson's iQmpany ol artillery, which was attached to jl, omncnced, and with it sustained, the ac tion" The Bu Halo Gazette of the 8ih of July, describing litis action, says : "The battle i said to have raged with great faryr,andinost unquestionably was the betl Poght since the declaration of war. The Artillery in this action has maintained its high reputation: The bravery and activ ity of Mnj. Gen. Brown and the Bng. Gen. Scott were every where conspicuous." Geu. Brown pursued die enemy to Queens lown Heights on the 10th ol July. The enemy had retreated towards Burlington Heights. A-letter from one of the officers of Scott's brigade, dated July 12th, says: " Some of the British officer, who were wounded and taken fat Chippewa said that jour troops behaved in a manner that would have done credit to Lord Wellington's troops. Geo. Scon's brigade was dressed in grey jacket. The enemy supposed them to 'be muitia ; and their officers told their troops hey would not stand more than one Jire be fore they would disperse. In this they were adly disappointed. I-repeat the fact again, 1.10Q Americana, w;th one company of. artil Jery,"raT frora fie W 2.100 BrtUsb froops, two-thirds of them regulars, with ces of field artillery." seven pie- In his official account of the battle of Chippewa, dated July 7th, 1814. after giving various details. Gen. Brown, says: 'My most difficult iluiy remains to be per formed. I am depressed with the fear ol not being able to do justice to my brave com panions in arms, and apprehending that some who had an opportunity of distinguish ing themselves, and promptly embraced it. will escape my notice. 'Brig. Gen. Sco'.t is entitled tr the high est praises our country can bestow. To him, more than to any other man. am I In debted for the victory of ihc 5ih of July. His brigade as cucered itself -with glory. Eve-y officer and every man ol the 9;h and 22d, 11th and 25th regiments did his duly with a zeal and energy worthy of Ihe Amer ican chancier. "When every officer stands so pre-emi-nentlv high in the path of duly and honor, it is iinposiWe to discriminate; buil cannot deprive myself of the pleasure of saying that Major Leavenworth commanded the 9lh a.'.d 22 1. Major Jessup the 25th, and Major McNeill ihe 11th. C-l. was. wounded early in the nc'ion,, leailing on his regiment. C.ioipbell gallantly "The family ol Gen. Scott were conspicu ous in the field ; Lieut. Smi:h. of the 6'h in fantry. Major of brigade, and Lieuts. Worth and Walls, hia ;iids. Capi. Towcon's company (of the artille ry) was the only one that had a full oppor tunity of distinguishing itself, and it is be lieved that no company ever embraced an opporluni'y with more zeal or more success. "The conduct of Gen. Porler (of the New York volunteers) has been conspicuously gallant. 'Justice forbids that I should omit to name my own family. They yield to none in hon orable zeal, intelligence, and attention to duty. Col. Gardner, Major Jones, and my aids, Capts. Austin and Mercer, have been as active and as much devoted to the cause as any officers ol the army. Ol G infner and Jones I shall hutfe occasion again to speak. "Major Camp, deputy quan.crmaster gen eral, deserves my particular notice and al ien lion." Of the enemy there were killed and woun ded 10 officers and 298 rank and file ; priso ners 1137; aggregate 415. Of Gr-.ix. Brown's command the killed and wounded amounted to 328. In a letter of the 17th July. 1814 Gen. Brown says : 'I have ascertained ihat the enemy had more regular troops engaged in this action than we had. nnd that his loss exceeds five hundred men.'' Geu. Riall commanded the British forcs. THE BATTLE OF D K I DCE W ATE R. This action w,t.s fnight on the 23th of Ju ly, 1S14. near Niagara Falls. The follow ing account of it is lull of interest, contained in a letter from J. B. Varnum. jr.: Buffalo. July 27, 1814. ;'I haveje.At lime to inform you that a most sanguinary battle was (ought on the evening of the 25th inst., near Chippewa. Major General Drummond came up with a large, reinforcement from Kingston, and im mediately moved up against our array with a force neat ly double our numbers. The bat tle commenced about 7 o'clock in the even ing, and continued until 11 o'clock al night. Our army behaved most gallantly; fought to desperat ion. The whole of" ihe enemy's artillery was twice taken and retaken. 77i' slaughter on both sides was dreadjnl. Our first brigade was al.ooat annihilated ; but one fi-ld officer in the whole brigade escapeil dath or severe wounds. Gen. Broicn and Gen. bcott ice e both severely wounded. One of Gen. Brown's aids was mortally wound ed, and bolh of Gen. Scott's severely. M ij McFarland of the 1st was killed. Col. Brady. Majors McNeill. Leavenworth, Brooke, Jts up. and many other worthy officers wounded. It is impossible to say what is the full extent ol our ioes. A small poriiou of our wound ed fell into the hands of i!ic enemy ; besides. 1 fear, tome prisoners. "The enemy was so severely cut lo pieces that they did not pu sue our army. Seccral nn:sl brilliant charges were made by Uen Scott's brigade. The enemv's lines were completly bioken and upwards of two hun dred prisoners made, among whom are Ma jor Gen Riall and suite, one of Gen. Drura mond's aids, and fifteen oi her officers. The prisoners are now here. Riall badly wound ed. "We shall lose the services of Gen. Brown and Gen Scott the rest of the campaign." In a letter from Capt. L. Austin, aid to Geu. Brown, t the Secretary of War, (the General being confined by-his wounds ) he sjye, after speaking of the vasiiy superior force ol the enemy : "They were met by u near ihe Falls ol Niagara, where a most severe conflict ensu-d. The enemy disputed the ground with resolu tion, yel were driven from every position they attempted to hold. We stormed his batteries directly in front, and took posesion of all his artillery. Notwithstanding his immense su periority both iu number and position, he was completely defeated, and our troops remained on the batt'e-ground without interruption. "As however, both Gen. Brown and Gen. Scott had received severe wounds, almost every chief of battalion disabled, and our men quite exhausted, il was thought piudent lo retire lo our encampment, which was done in good order, without any molestation from the enemy our wounded being first removed. "The loss on bo:h sides is immense. The aid and brigade major of Gen. Scotl are bolh severely wounded, and Capt. Spencer, an aid ol Gen. Brown most prohbily dead, hav ing received two balls through Hs body Both G.-iis. Brow n and S'-ott arc on this side (ButFulo) roofined by their wounds. Gen. ilipley commands on ihe other." Gen. Scott received immediately thereaf ter the brevet rank of Major General, and most of the officers engaged in this affair were brevette-J.J The enemy on the 3J of August passed over the Niagara a body of five hundred men, who landed below Black Rock, with a design to destroy Buffalo. They were repulsed by a corps of two hunt red riflemen nnd some volunteers under Major Morgan, of ihe 1st rifle regiment. Gen. Brown, in hja official account ofthe battle of Briitgewater. gives great credit to his officers and men. It was in this sever conflict lhat Col. Ja. Miller 6tormed and captured one of the enemy's batteries on a height. He soon after received the brevet of a Briadire General. The loss ofthe American army in this bat tle was, killed 171, wounded 572. missing 117; totaJ 869. The enemy's loss was much greater. A third brilliant victory was gained over the enemy on the 15th August, 1841, by Gen. Gaines, at Fort Erie. It lasted three, hours. Tha enemy's loss in killed, wounded, and prisoner wtui about six hundred. Ingivjng the detail Gen. Gaines said t '-Towson's bat tery emtfte4o'Mtt,nt beel l fire."

"It is seldom that we recommend what are term ed Patent Medicines, to the confidence and patron age ot our readers; an J thcretore when we recom mend Dr. Hooffand'8 German Biitcrs, we wish il to be dislinctly understood that we are not speaking of the nostrums of the day, that are poised about for a bi ief period and then forgotten after they have done their guilty race of mischief, but of a medicine long established, universally prized, and which has .met the heart y approval of "the faculty itself.'' "Scott's Weekly," said, Aug. 25 : 'Dr. Hoofland's erman Bitters, manufactured by Dr. Jackson, are now 'ecommended by some ofthe most prominent men.

Esq , of the Daily News, snid,Oct 31. 'Dr. IIooflaxd's Gebman Bitters. We are try ing this renowned inedicinefor a stuboorn disease of the bowels, and can with, truth testify to its efficacy. We have taken the contents uf two bottles, and we have derived more benefit from the experiment than we derived previously from years of allophatic treat ment at the hands of our first physicians." Hon. C. D. Uincline, Mayorol the CityofCam den. N. J., says : ''Hoofland's Gin. ma ss Bittebs. We have seen many fl ittui insf notices of this medicine, ind the source from which ihcy came indued us to make inquiry respecting its merits. From inquiry we were persuaded ;o use it, and must say we found il specific in it9 action upon diseases of the liver and digest ivc organ, and the powerful influence it exerls upon nervous prostration, is really surprising It calms and strengthens the nerves, bringing them in to a state of repose, making sleep refreshing. If this medicine was more generally used, we arc satisfied there would beless sickness, as from the stomach, liver and nervous system, the great major ity of real and imaginary desaases emanate. Have them in a healthy condition and you can bid defi ance to epidemics generally.

J : Within the last eight years, Dr. 6. has treated bm re than 29,500 cases of Private Complaint, in Xht.it different forms and stages; a practice wnich doubt exceeds that of all other physician no t vertising in Kahimore, and not a ingl caae is known where his dire-. ions were trtctl' followed, and medicines taken at reasonable time, without efieciing radical and permanent cure-therefore, persons afflicted with diseases of the above oatare, 'no matter how difficult or long standing the case may be," would do well 10 call on Dr. Smith ,t hie office.

STUICTUK.E3.-Dr. Smith has discovered a Lnew method by which he can cure the worst form of stricture ana trial witnout pain or inconvenience to the patient. Irritation of the uretha, or prostrate glands, or neck of the bladder.is sometimes mistaken lcr strictures by general practitioners or charlatans. YOUNG MEN and others afflicted with Seminal Debility, wheth er originating from a Certain Destructive Habit, or from any other cause, with train of bodily and men tal evils which follow, when neglected, should make an early application, thereby avoiding much trouble and suIIWing, as well as expense. By hia improved method of treatment, Dr. S. can aafely guarantee a speedy and perfect cure in nil cases ol il.is com plaint. TO FEMALES.

What a common thine it is for people' to have some bad habit or other, which i worse than useless, but which they find it very difficult to break themselves of. A story is told of a man in one of the New England States, who had such a ha bit, nnd who ofaeday rendered himself very ridiculous by. it Ibe habit thu trentlo- man had, was one of frequently handling' his spectacles. He was a member of the Legislature of bis State, and when he voso to speak, he would first place his spectac-' les on his nose, suffer them to remain there a minute or two, throw them upward on his forehaad, and finally fold them up and lay them nefoie him on his desk. ' v One day aprery important question carao up in toe legislature, and the fidgety gen1 tleman commenced a speech in opposition lo the proposed measure. A friend to the project, who was somewhat of a wag, de termined that lie would spoil the effect of what the honorable gentleman bad to say. So before the speaker entered the house, after a recess, he provided himself with a dozen pair of spectacles. The member commenced his speech with his usual' ability. But 4 few moments elapsed' be"-' fore he was at work with his spectacles" and finally got them upon his forehead. At this juncture, our wag, who stood ready, laid another pair on the desk before the speaker. These were taken, and gradually gained a place on his forehead by the side' of the others. A third, fourth and fifth were disposed of in the same manner. A smile settled upon the countenance of the honorable members, which gradually lighted up into a grin, and at last,when the speaker had warmed up into one of his most patriotic ' and elegant sentences, he deposited a sixth pair wilh the others, and there was a loud and long peal of laughter' from all parts of the room. Presidents, clerks, members, all joined in the chorus; The speaker looked around in astonish ment at this curious interruption; but miff ing his hand, he grasped his spectacles4, and the whole force of the joke rushed up on his mind. He dashed the glasses upon the floor, took his hat and left the halll l ne Bin was passed by a inumpnant ma jority, probably in consequence of the gen-- Ueman 8 silly and useless habit. From the tri-weekly Raleigh Star. WAR OF THE SHELLS. During last week, quite a war of words -took place between tho " Hards" and "Softs' in the House of Representatives". Tfhe no torious Mike Walsh lead off in' a; speech' characterized by his usual amount of se vere, cutting and somewhat low express ions. Mr. Cutting, of New York, bore, himself quite gallantly, according to all ac-' counts, in defence of the " Hards," anti there were several speeches pro and eon by members from New York and elsewhere. Mike Walsh being asked to tell the differ ence between a hard" and a u soft," re plied that there was the same difference a between an honest man and a rogue. We do not know how long this delectable con troversy will go on, but the a Hards" seem" to have managed their case with consider able dexterity and address, so much so as to cause many to believe that the " powers' that be" would be glad tc receive then back into the fold again.
