On Tuesday last Gen. Harrison left this
place for the Rapids of the Miami of the
Lakes--it is said some unfavorabe news
had reached the General by express from
that quarter which induced him to set off
{oc that place, sooner than he had contem- ,
plated. 1t seems the Virginia and Penn
sylvania volunteers time would expire on
or about this time, and they had threa-
tened to leave camp as soon az it did ex-
piFe that news was received there of a
considerable reinforcement having arrived
at Maiden, Or 5000 and that IF the
