Captain Elliot, the British officer who
waited upon Captain Brush at the river

On Thursday last, Captain Argus L..
I.angham, of the United States new army
marched with upwards OF leo Soldiers from
this place for Urbanna. These men were
principally recruited in Chiilicothe and
vicinity and it is with pleasure we state,
that more hardy, heroic set of men never
stepped off to the tune of LiBEkTY-
From the active and energetic spirit of
Captain Langham. these new recruits have
already been taught to look, walk, and feel

EVANSVILLE, CO., Sept. 2.--Since

But our extreme frontiers are in danger of
the tomahawk and scalpng-kn The
tate OF Chicago has probably been expert
enced at Fort Wayne, unless happily 500
| mounted riaemen from Picqua may arrive
in time, who are said to have marched last
Saturday. Lower -Sandusky is said to be
lin possession of the British. Immense num-
bers OF troops are marching all points,
ltIhe kentuckians are under full way. A
bout 500 militia left this place last week for
Delaware, and a second detachment are
expected to move every hour.
| Col M'Arthur, and number of officers
and men, have arrived here, and are hourly
arriving from Detroit, on their way home.
we could give details of great length as to
the surrender of Detroit, but we grow sick
when we enter on the subject. Suffice it to

compared with what might haze been, (for
1t is positively asserted, the terms of CAPT
tulation were written and ready for delive-
ry in Maiden, on the 10Th July waiting for
summons) we must now for moment turn
our eyes to the northeast, and rest our

From a statement in the Ohio Ccntinel

About 700 men, women and children had
arrived, chiefly of the Shawanoe tribe from
Wapakanetta, few more were expected *
even the Mlamies it was believed would not
attend.
A company of mounted rihemen have
marched from Chilcothe under Col. Dun

marched under capt. Backus, capt. A. l..

Tor Urbanna from the same place on the
9th ult amounting to 100. About so
more regulars marched under Lieutenant
Gwynne.
The alarm which prevailed here on
Monday last, that two companies had been
defeated here on Sandusky Plains by the
indians, and that they we're moving to-
ward the frontier, was without foundation.
Fort Chicago was evacuated and all
the men killed by the Indians, within half
mile OF it, while retreating. Fears are
entertained for the safety OF Fort Wapne
