Having been a member of the Legislature

joint Committee appointed on the part of
the House of Delegates to act upon the sub
ject, had a distinct recollection that an
inscription mad been also voted. | have
even recited to many gentlemen, nearly
verbatim, the terms Of that inscription, as
contained in the subjoued resolution which,
owing to its sublime simplicity, the lapse of
eight and twenty Jcars had not erased from
my memory but finding that no gentleman
with whom ] cpnversed, had similar re-
collection OF the fact, almost began to adj
mir the possibility of my being mistaken on
the subject. With view to ascertain this.
requested my friend Mr.. Munford to search
Among the archives in his possession and
he obigingly furnished me with the original
resolution, of which the one suLioined is
an attested COPY. How il has hapuened
that the inscription has not ACCOMPANIED the

Daufon, Ohio. Dec. 9

Dayton, Ohio, Dec. 9:
General Harrison is still engaged in col
iecting supplies for his army an underta-
king, at this season of the year, and in the
present condition of the roads, attended
with difficulties almost inconceivable. We
believe all idea of invading Canada from
tins quarter sooner than Spring, is already
abandoned. Gen. Harrison does not intend
to risk his anne and the safety of his troops,
upon contingencies. We presume he does
not intend to march until his means of sup
ply are fixed upon sure basis.
BuFFALoE, Dec. 8.
TO the Editor ofthe BufaLoe Gazette.
SIR-A friend has just handed me a
proof sheet of your paper of this morning,
IN which is contained what purports to be
general Smyth's official account of the aft
fairs of the 2Sth of November and 1st Dec.
beg that you will suspend the publica-
ton so long as to assure the public that in
your next will give a true account of some
OF the most prominent transactions of those
DAYS.
When our lives. our property; when the
precious and dear bought gift of our ances-
tors-the sacred honor of our country when
every thing that we prize as men, or ought
to hold dear as patriots, are falling and ia
ding before us, 1t is time to speak out, what
ever be the hazard.
In ascribing, as shall not hesitate to do,
the late disgrace on this frontier to the cow
ardice OF general Smyth, beg to be under
stood as not intending to implicate the cha
racters OF the officers whose opinions he has
brought fHrwar to bolster up his conduct.
Several OF them know to be as brave men
as ever welded a sword and their advice,
II indeed they gave the advice imputed to
them, may be accounted for in the obvious
h,1,b; I'll,
him must have been impressed, that an,
military attempts under such a leader
must in all human probability prove dis
graceful.

of the Duke of Bassano, in the beliefthat a

countries may be terminated, and an ar

following intelligence from the army: A
few days since. three friendly Indians. Cap
tain Logan, Friendly John, and another, be-
ing in advance OF the army as spies went
out SO far that they fell in with superior
party OF the enemy consisting IF one Eng
iishman and ten Indians, and were made
prisoners. The enemy being on the point
oftying the warriors, one of them observed
that it would be unnecessary to tie them
during the day, as it would prove a consitl-
cradle impeachment to their progress but
that at night, they would consent to be tied
The enemy acceding to the truth of the OBJ
servation. they were permitted to remain at
liberty; they had not proceeded far, howe
yer, before captain Logan's party suddenly
turned upon their captors, and Shot down
the Engishman and two of the hostile Indi-
ans,iand Immediately taking shelter behind
some trees, instantly reloaded their raes
The enemy, being panic struck. immediate
~ took to their heels and departed, leaving
their dead companions on the spot; and
the three warriors returned in safety to
camp, bringing with them the scalps of the
three men they had slain.-In this affair
captain Logan was wounded. FREEDMAN.
