' with nnder-wOod, he witnessed the renc0n
 tre between Col. Johnson and an Indian
 which resulted iiI the death of the latter
 that after the battle was over, himself ant some others, (and among the number Gen Wm. H. Harrison and Anthony Shane both of whom knew Tecnmsch,) repaired to the spot where tho Indian, Col. Johnson had killed, lay: and that, upon examina- ton, they pronounced him to be Tecum- sch. Harrison and Shane (Shane was q friendly Chief who was very intelligent, ] and had acted as guide to Col. Johnson's regiment,) said, that Tecumseh had cer- tain marks abouI his body which wOulc distinguish him from every other Indian that he had had one of his thighs broke and, in consequence of which, one leg va: somewhat shorter than the other, and gtha' tho bones in uniting had produced a knot and they described tho relative position O the knot upon the thigh. Upon examina. ition, the marks were found to correspond exactly with the description which had been given of them. This gentleman further states, that the shots ranged doscasCGrds, so as to indicate strongly that the person who shot him had occupied, at the time, a higher position than the one on which he stood; and that Col. Johnson was the only man of the troop in that quarter who had shot from his horse.
 Another gentleman informs us that the Indian, whom the concurrent testimony ot all present pronounced to be Tecumseh, had received wounds from ball and four buck shot, Git is easy, from the size of the 0ri6Ne, to distinguish between the twp,) all ranging vertically from the eye. near which one entered, downward and that the mus kets and yaugcrs, (the only fire arms used in the action, except pistols were loaded with cartridges which had been made up with ball and but three buck shOt; while it was known that Col. Johnson had made, especially for himself. cartridges with ball and sir buck shot. Hence the probability, that two of the shots missed shiIn--four only taking effect--whilst it would have bcenut- terly impossible for hin, 10 have received the shots from any other piece used in the action; none ofthc others containing more than three buck shot, as has been stated a- bove.
 From testimony like this, the public mind in this country have almost universal- ly awarded to Col. Johnson the meed of having closed tho war with tho Indians, in that section of our frontier, by tlle death ot tho Chief, whose genius and ntrepidity had alone given life and vigor to their cnter- priscs.
