GENERAL ORDERS.
The commanding general returns his thanks to
hrigader general Upper and the corps which late
~ advanced TO the Miami rapids, for the perseve-
rance, zeal, activity and bravery with which they
conducted themselves on that enterprizc. 4 casual
circumstance only, and which neither the gen.
eral his men could control, prevented them from
sSlrprizng and cutting to pieces detachment OF
-he enemy, equal in numbers TO their own The
measures OF Gen. Topper appear to have been high.
" judicious, both il his advance to the enemy, and
IN resisting their attacks The general sorry that
any circumstance in affair which reflects honor
on almost the whole of the troops engaged in il,
should deserve his censdre such, however, is mer-
tied, by the small detachment which, in the face of
positive order from their commander left their
ranks to gather corn, and pursue drove Of hogs
Hut for the disorder!y conduct, gen. Taper would
have brought hack ia safe his whole command.-
The commanding general feels, however,, much
praise than blame, in the conduct of gen.
Tupper's detac. ment, that he derives small sat
isfsction in exhibiting il as worthy example of
i'tsry spirit and enterprise TO the rest Of his

Wagons iRd it difficult, it not altogether Bpraeti-
cable, to proceed with their loads III country like
that through which they obliged to pass but it
is also true, that the forts and boekhonses gen
orally simply supplied with provisions and We are
Informed that soon as the weather permits, suf-
fcent quantity which is already procured will he

present campaign.
The arrangement lately adopted by the commaI-
der in chief has been, and appears TO be the on
~ correct mode Of furnishing the army with the
ccssary supplies and is also great saving to the u.
States so that no delay or Inconvenience can any
longer be apprehen,led from that quarter.
From the known talents courage, and experience
of the ustrIous HARRISON we look forward with con-
fienec for glorious issue TO the present campaign.
