From General Hsrrison's Official let.

Proctor, there We're attached 10 his army
of about 5000 men, no less than ten gen.
erals, one governor, and commodore.
besides adju,ant generals, quarter mas
ter generals, and other officers in pro.
portion. This Is equal to one general
to every 900 men, throwing the gov.
e,nor and commodore mo the bargain
The pay and -molu'nen.s OF these high
officers may be very convenient thing
TO Kentucky and Ohio patriots /; bu:
those who arc obliged TO supply the

ued there 20 days afterwards, should be
little impressed with il, and continue
ancerts;n as 10 the fact. Il is also ex
trsoedinsry that an editor should make
diiec, assertions where there is posi-
bili,y of error. The Messenger Is .
