R. M Jonson of Kentucky, beg leave to stale, through your columns of the facts in relation to his dcaih as they were related to me by the Hon. C. A. Wicklife of Kentucky, who was an officer in com mand in the battle of the Thames, in which Tccum- sch was killed. The relation was made by him to me, in the fall of 1827 while ascending the Ohio riv. CT from Cincinnaiio Pittsburgh He stated to me- ,ha, at the close of the battle, it soon passed from rank to rank that Tecumseh wasslain. With view to ascertain the fact he and several other officers, of whom were personally acquainted with Tecumseh, visited
 the line o battie in the place where 1t was said this distinguished prophet and warrior had fought tha, very soon they found the body of Indian Chiel among the slain, with wound jus. above the eye, ap
 parsnty made with a ball and buckshct. Tecumseh', face, he informed me, much pi,ted with the small pox-ihat they procured some water, and washed th, paint of the face of this Chief but found no marks the small pox upon ii.-That Col. Johnson inlerme, them on the spot, understood him, that this ndi ''uS"' ""S S'"'" uy DO "ieO eatu tO me- kHN Tecumseh had a crooked leg, occasioned by a frac 1 ture while young-and that at the distance of few rods further on in the line Of battle lay another chief with a wound apparently made by musket ball through the breast, in the region of the heart frsn whose face they washed the paint, when the well known piued face of Tecumseh was disclosed to thos who knew him. Ito use the words of tho narrator, "terribe n deaih." He further said, that upon thi last person was found the crooked lsg-another mar
