This plan was predicated upon these
bases: |. That the political principles
of the people of this country would en-
dure nothing but republican govern
men, 2. That in the actual situation OIL
the country, i, was itself right and proper
that the republican theory should nave
a fair and full trial. 5. That, to such q
trial it was essential that the government,
should be so constructed as to give 1t all
the energy and the stability reconcllable
with the principles of that theory,
These were the genuine sentiments OF
my heart, and upon them then acted
l sincerely hope that i, may not here,
after be discovered that through want OF
sufficient attention to the last idea, the
experiment of republican government
even in this country, has not been as
complete, as satisfactory aud as decisive,
as could be wished.
Very truly, dear sir,

LEXINGTON, Oct. IS.
FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.

Fort D. fence, October 3, 1919:
The North Western Army ander
the command of General Winchester,
marched from Fort WAYNE on The 22d
September, aud pursued NFayne's route
down the Miami, towards the old Fort
De 6ance. where it arrived on the 3Oth.
During the latter part Of the march we
were frequently annoyed by the enemy
Our advanced party Of spies fell in
with body of Indians, and a smart skir-
mish ensued, lis which one Of the spies
was slightly wounded, and several CT tho
eneMy-the exact number could not be
ascertained only from appearances, as
the Indians, when ever it is practicable,
carry offtheir dead. The day before,
Ensign Ligeett Of the regulars, with 4
men, were unfortunately surprised sy
this party Of Indians, and sca!ped Tie
loss Of Ensign Liggett is much to be .s-
r,ented, as he was promising young
officer, remarkable for bis bravery and
intreP .dity. He had left the company of
spies with his four companions, with a
view to examine the country around
Fort Defiance, and had advanced seve-
ral miles ahead of the party, when they
were killed. This annoyance from the
enemy greatly retarded our movements,
as it was impossible to ascertain to any
degree, their situation or force. In
crossing the river, however, their whole
movements were discsvered.-The Bri-
tish with their artillery from Detroit,
aud large party of Indians, were pro-
crossing towards Fort Wayne. After
engaging our spies, and annoying our
sdvsnced guard, they faced to the right
abort aud reiterated precipitately. Ow-
ng TO the peculiar situation Of the army,
(beins short OF provisiors) it was in
possible by forced marches to intercept
.hem-supplies have since reached the
army.

army On the % October, and will again
act as commander in chief, having re-
ceived that appointment from the Pre-
sident OF the u States. General Win.

Of fortified posts will be established, in
