Gen. Topper arrived with his com,

disposition for passing the river, and
some few ofeur men got over, but
the greater part of them missed the

danger of drownins-they were how

general L. had with him, but lost

"Shouid 1905 nilitia arrive this
week from Pennsylvania as is expect
cd. We shall have another invasion
and the commanding officers say that
those who viii rot voluntarily en-
bark shall be forced: and as there
are many who never will volunteer
in an offensive operation, there may
be an opportunity for them to main
tain principle at the risk Of life. We
are at present in a most deplorable
situation the regulars are daily sick
enin ; four or five on an average
are daily buried-no attendance at
the hospital-wounds not dressed
i'll fine, every thing that is sure to
I'D man of life is here Practised.
The militia at Schlosser are in
state Of mutiny, have stacked their
arms and are determined TO leave the
lines. Some Of the officers are on
parole from the British, others dis
missed, the different regiments con-
solidatedinto one, and oyersome new
officers appointed these things
have given general dissatisfaction
and the dissatisfied being more nu-
merous than Tie others, should a
court martial sentence any to punish
ment, il would be impossible to ex-
ecate IT without the less Of lives.
On the Sd volunteer company at
this place stacked their arms and
told their officers that they had been

The commanding general returns
his thanks to brisadier general Fup-
per and the corps which lately ad.
vaneed to the Miami Rapids, for the
perseverance, zeal, activity and bra
very with which they conducted
themselves ON that enterprise. A
casual circumstance only, and one
which neither the general or his
men could control, prevented them
from surprizing and cutting to pieces
a detachment Of the enemy, equaiin
numbers to their owa. The mea-
sures Of general Upper appear 10
have been highly jaiioious, both in
his advance to the enemy. and in re-
sisting their attacks. The general
is sorry that any circumstance in an
affair which reflects honor Oh ainost
the whole { the troops engaged in
it, should deserve his cens@re; such
however, is merited, by tae small
detachment, which in the face OF a
positive o?;!Crirom their commander,
left tac;r ranks to gather corn ana
