GOOD NEWS FROM THE RAPILS.
From the Frecman's OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
iTun& HnfoN. Liku SRI. 1913. :

From the Frecman's Chronieie-Ertra.
fTaneHnton, JuLy 5th, 1913.
order to ouell the perturbation at pre-
sent prevailing in lie public mind, and to
relieve our fellow citizens from the painful
anxiety created by the intelligence received
during the last week from Fort Meigs and
Lower Sandusky, We are induced to publish
as speedily possible the following salts
factory particulars, brought. by the express
mail arrived last night.
Gen. Harrison arrived at Fort Meigs on
the 2sth ulr--found the, place in perfect
safety, and not threatened by the British or
their allies He despatched Col Juhnson's
regiment of mounted men to the river Raj
sin to reconnoitie and collect information
Col. johnson discovered no enemy--brought
with him some Capadiaus, who informed
that the Britt h, had not received such
an accession ~ their, Indian forces as had
been reported ;but that lG0 Indians had left,
The river Raisin for lower SanGasky TO scout,
piliage and massacre. On col. Johnson's re
turn to Fort Melgs, Gen. Harrison ordered
a detachment to go Immediately in pursuit
OF the Indians, but unfortunately they had
! done all the mischief-they could do before
they were discovered They killed dra-
gocns. who were hunting thei: horses near
| the fort at-Lower Sandusky, and murdered
a family within few hundred, yards of the
| fort, Consisting Of 2 men, one woman and
chidren.-'They immediately retreate,i tow
ards Fort Meigs, and mus have passed
| within mile and half IF Gen Harrison,
who was en- his return from Fort Meigs,
with an escort ofcn,y about 20 men. Tile
| General, with his customary good fortune,
arrived, unmulcsted, at Lower Sandusky on
| FRIDAY last; and would start the next day
for Cleveland Col Balis squadron would
also proceed to Cleveland. Col. Johnson's
regiment were expected at Lower Sandus-
Ky on Friday.
Thus it appears thatthe reports of Fort
| Meigs and Lover SaIdusky being attacked,
were premature.
The fronteirs may now be considered in
a state of more perfect safety than they have
ever been before. Major Croghan, With
nearly 500 iegularsis stationed at the Broad
Ford, II miles from Lower Sandusky, and
col. JohHson's regiment Of mounted men are
at Lower Sandusky, ready to move TO any
point which may hcreafterb be endangered.
His exceiIency governor Meigs, on first
receiving intelligence of the late ALARMS,
began, with his known zeal. Vigilance and
patriotism, to prepare for the worst. Sc
yeral companies were immediately order.
ed out and are now on their march. His
exceileuCy, who is here at present, sent
expresses in different directions this morn.
ing to order the militia to return to their
homes.
We congratulate oGr agricultural friend,
on the improbabiiity OF their being agar
called from their farms at this important
season OF the year.
