The prospects OF an eiiicert campaign
against our combined enemies, the British
and Indians the ensuing spring and surlmer,
are suspicious. In addition TO the detach =
ment of 1000 militia infantry. which are to
march in few days to the Rapids. the sec.
Of War has authorised Col Richard NJ.
Johnson to raise regiment OF mounted men.
20 consist of 1000 rank and file, 10 open the
campaign with General Harrison, and TO
cooperate with 1900 mounted Rangers on
the frontiers, IL necessary, To carry on
the war with energy, and ehsctuaily into
the eneny's country-even to the Green
Bay, and Ousconsin, &c.
We have no doubt but that the regiment
of mounted men will be raised in twenty Of
thirty days, and in complete trim for
marching orders. which it is thought will be
sivensome time in May.

Having been informed from more than
one quarter, that false statement has been
put IL circulation, that every barrel of -four
furnished to the north western army during
The last year has cost Inc United States
from .Efly 10 siaty doitars We have thought
i our duty to enquire into the fact. With
this view we have applied to the officer at
The head Of the department Of purchases
lnd supplies Of the north western army.
VINO is fortunately now in this city, from
whom we have received Tic following sa-
'iafactory official Information. Since the
declaration Of war we learn that Mr.. Piatt
ras been distinguished as public agent
.or his talents, zeal, integrity and unweari-
I'd application liz the public service. His
statement Is fully corrobnrated by another
respectable and well Informed gentleman,
whose statement not having been reduced
