Gen. a. q. EgroxKn.

Some few months since Gen Brown found
himself in rather an awkward predicament in
relation to his Indebtedness to the Union
Bank in connection with his repudialing
principles. 1t vas charged upon him that
he was largely indebted 10 the bank as prin-
ciple and cndorser. and an effort was made
TO induce the people to believe that he had
paid all he owed as principal. This good
news and glad tidings spread wherever repn-
diati0n has fooihold, and, no donbt, many
we're persuaded 10 believe that the General
had actually paid up. The whole matter
has comes or is coming TO light. General
Brown, it appears, offered the bank traU,

ment Of $4,000. The bank did not take
on account of is being valueless, and 81
course the General is still indebted to Che

But there is another little matter which i:
worth knowing 1t will be remembered tina
when Gen Brown first attempted, in hi:
famous letter, 10 show that he did not owe
the bank for any thing he had received from
it, he stated that he had given his notes 70
some property, and afterwards, by reques
he altered them SO as TO get them into the
bank. One Of those notes, for 81 900, wen
into the bank and is still unpaid-the other
for $4,000 was discounted, with the under
standing that, the holder of the note shoult
pay The money when due, if Gen. Brow
should fail to pay it. When it became du
Brown did aot pay, nor did he make arrange
menis TO pay. The original holder of tn
note. true ,Ohig and true to his ,oord, seE
ped forward and paid the bank. He trie
every way to get the moneysout Of BrowI
and finally sued hm-on the note. JuIgmel
will be obtained at the next term of tn
1court. We leave il to the people to max
