How TECUMsEH WAS hILLED.-The Western
Christian Advocate of this week contains an
obituary notice Of Isaac Hambin, ST., who
died at his residence near Bloomfield, Ind, a
few months since, aged about e6 years. Mr..
Hamblin was n man of deep piety and unques-
tionable yeracity. lie was in the battle Of the
Thames, and the writer gives the following as
his. statement in regard TO the maner in which
Tecumseh was killed:
He says he was standing but few feet from
Col johnson when he fell, and in full view
and saw the whole OF that part of the battle
He was well acquainted with Tecurnseh iay-
ing seen him before the war, and having been
prisoner seventeen days and received many
a cursing from him. He thinks that Tecum-
sch thought J ohnson was Harrison us he often
heard the chief swear that he would have
Harrison's scalp. and seemed to have special
hatred toward him. Johnsous horse fell un-
der him, he himself being also deeply wound
ed in the fall he lost his sword, his large pis-
tolls were empty, and he was entanged with
his horse on the ground Tecumseh had fired
his rifle AZ him, and when he saw him fall he
threw down his gun and bounded forward like
tiger sure Of his prey. Johnson had only a
side pistol ready for use He aimed at the
chief over the head of his horse, and shot near
the centre OF his forehead. When the ball
struck, it seemed TO him that the Indian
jumped with his head full fifteen feet in to the
air; as soon as he struck the ground, a little
Erenchman ran his bayonet into him and
pinned him fast TO the ground.
