QUARTERMAsTER GENERALS OFFICE,

DEAR SlR Cannot something be done for our old
friend and fellow soldier, General Brainard He
| was, as you are aware, severely wounded and dis
abed in the death-sruggle in which you bore so con-
spcuous part-the sorte fiom Fort Erie. The Bri.
fish army under Sir Gordon Drummond composed al
most entirely Of Wellingon's peninsular veterans,
| outnumbered as more than three to one Our lit
| tie army contained but few veterans more than
| half its effective force was made up of recruits
volunteers, and militia. With such disparity in
the character well as in the number of the
| troops, the effort though necessary to the honor
of the country and the character of the army, was
almost hopeless. repuse, at any point on the en-
emys works, would have been fatal to us. Branard
was of the party that carried by storm strongly
fortified bock-bouse on the extreme right of the en-
emy's line. In that desperate encounter he was shot
down, at the head Of his volunteers but, notwith-
standing the severity of his wounds, he continued BY
his example TO animate his men until the victory was
complete and the enemy left without the means Of
further annoying us. The distinguished gallsntry of
| Branard, and men like MIN, stimulated the militia
and volunteers TO deeds of high daring unsurpassed
by the best troops of any age country The sortie
from Fort Erie was by far the most splendid achieve
| ment Of brilliant campaign, whether we consider
the bodness of the conception, the excellence OF the
plan or the ability Of the execution. No event IN
military history, on the same scale has ever surpass
ed il; and II is the important TO u.s. as demon
srating what the militia and volunteers are capable
| Of doing, when properly led.
! may be mistaken, but il does appear to me there
would be great moral advantage secured 10 the ma
ton by treating msn like Branard in the most liber
| al manner, lie claims no more than has been al
lowed 10 others, both Of the army and navy. Now
il any distinction he made, il should rather be in IA
yor Of than against men Of his class of service am
not as you know in the habit Of interfering with le
gsIation in any form; but in this case, could not
remain passive, without, in my opinion being I'm
Just. as well to the country the claimant.

From the National hlslligeneer.


Our readers must have observed the extraordinary
unanmity with which the bill granting pension to
| Gen. AsAHEL BRAINARD was passed, few days since
by both Houses of Congress, and may justly have in
ferred the great merit of Gen. Brainard in leading
such result The subjoned letter, testifyng TO his
services and wounds in one of the many actions in
which he was engaged in the war Of 1912, was in
tended to be used in the bill had met with any
opposition. As it happily rendered unnecessary
by the aacrity with which his claim was allowed, we
| think it due to him, as we sure 1t will prove
ceptable to readers, and not offensive we hope
to the two gallant officers, the by whom it is writ
ten and the other TO whom it is addressed to give il
publicity. In fact, the accounts occasionally
with, such is contained in Gen Jesup's letter. urn
| ing upon the conduct of an individual of particular
battle give much clear conceptions of the real
character the conflict than the meagre outline of Off
cial report and impress with more grateful sense
of the skill patriotism, and devotion of the who
| composed and commanded the army of that day
These accounts not the less acceptable that we
often get from them more than the modesty of their
authors designed to give. 1t is only when such men
speak TO and Of each other that we are reminded OF
the conspicuous parts they themselves bore in plan
ming, directing, and executing the most important
and brilliant enterprises Of the war.
| BARNARD entered the army whilst boy, and as
a musician in Gen. PETER B. PoRTER's volunteers
But boy and musician he was be could not stay his
| hand when there was fighting to be DONE 1t was
soon found that, like Charles of Sweden, the music
he preferred was the music of the bullets. II was
natural that the officers, who witnessed his daring
and address in repeated engagements should place
him in more congenial sphere of action BY col
ecting together the musicians, and such stragglers
and volunteers Branard could induce to ioip him.
in number hundred, and making him captain,
they added full company to their diminished force,
which rendered eminent service at the most critical
period Of the campaign.
We regret that Brainard, though we admire the
delicacy which, under more prosperous crcums
has restrained him from applying, has not long since
enjoyed this well-mered bounty. The manner in
which it is now accorded must satisfy him how read
his country has all along been to appreciate his gal
liant services, and to contribute its to alleviate
his severe wounds and sustain his mutllateJ frame in
| comfort.
