DRAUGITT OF TIE MILITIA. !

We are happy to learn from the upper
districts of this state, that the draughts for
the quota go on with spirit and success. In
the Sth Brigade of Militia, the entire regi-
ments at Lancaster and iV;nnsborough, and
the upper battalion Of Kershaw District,
made tender Of their services; but when
ipf,rnedb the Brigadier that only limit
ed number IF volunteers are to be accepted
fr.n each company, the young unmarried
men requested to DC allowed TO stand the
draught urst; this was acceded to, and the
number required enrolled. The troops of
h2".c al Lancaster and Winnsborough have
furnished their quota by volunteering, and
the artillery company at " mnsborough vo
lunteers it's services. From the accounts re-
ceivei from various ether parts OF the safe,
it's hoped that nearly Tie whole quota will
be formed of volunteers. 1t would have
been dong injustice to the patriotism OF our
fellow citizens to anticipate any other result.
The war which impends, springs not from
the pride or ambition of our rulers, but will
be forced upon them ia defence OF tine great
and important interests of the nation, and of
its imprescriptible rights, which nave been
violated in the most daring and barefaced
manner by the bcllgcrents.

An express arrived here this morning
with despatch from Brigader general Tup-
per, containing his report to Gen. Harrison
of his late expeditions to the Rapids of the
Miami, for the purpose of driving off body
of Indians and British, who had assembled
there to take offa quantity of corn which
remains in the fields at that place. General
Topper arrived with his command at the
rapids, undiscovered by the enemy, in the
night of the 18th inst He Immediately
made disposition for passing the river,
and some few of our men got over, but the
greater part of them missed the ford, and
many of them were in great danger of
drowninS-they were however rescued by
the few horses which gen. t. had with him,
but lost apart OF their arms AS soon as
the day appeared, and they were discover
ed by the enemy, the gun and other boats
that were in the river, slipped their cables
and esceped down the Lake The Indians,
however, more brave than their allies,
crossed over on horses and made several
violent attacks upon our troops They were
received with firmness. driven back and
forced to recross the river with considera-
BILE loss.
Gen?Tupper finding it impossiblepto cross
the river, and being entirely out of previ-
SONS, as the men took nothing with. tAefn
except what they carried on their backs,
was oblighd to return-four were killtdson
our side and one wounded--the enemy were
seen to carry off many of their dead and
wounded in the action on the land, and ma
! ny more were knocked off their horses in
recrossing the river. The Indians were
commanded by the Wyandot chief, Split
log, who was very conspicuous, being noun
ted upon fine white charger. This chief
was supposed to have been killed or woun-
ded, as another Indian was upon his horse
