GEN. HARRISON AND THE BATTLE OF TIPPE
CANOE.
To the Editor Of The Tribune.
SIR: Your correspondent, Mr. c. s. Todd
does well 10 defend his old commander Gen W II. Ilar.
rison. But he is wrong on some points. He says
.'I mass over tho insnuation IN Mr. Partons account
the battle OF Tippecanoe, that the Indians pointed out s
orouud for encampmcnt when there Is abundant eyi.
dence for the assertion that It selected by three Of
his officers major Waller Taylor, Major Marston Clark
and Col VIM. PatO."
made up my brief account Of the battle from Gen
Harrisons dispatches, from one Of which the follow
ing - an extract:
"Fifty or sixty Indians sailed out and with lond en-
CARNATIONS called TO the cavalry and To the milta-in-
faniry-whlch were on orr right Hank 10 halt IN
medatey advanced To the front caused the army ia halt
aud directed interpreter to request some Of the chefs
TO come 10 me. In few minutes the man that had been
with me before made his appearance Informed HIN
that my object for the present was 20 procure good
piece ground to encamp on where we could get wood
and water He informed me that there was creek ~
the nOrhward which he thought would sit our purpose
immediately dispatched two officers to examine i, and
they reported that the situation was eNceCnt.'
lGen Harrison TO the Secretary Of War, NOV IS ISL
On that ground thus designated by those reacherous
Indians Gen Harrison says the army encamped aud on
that ground the battle Of Jppecanoe fought the neri
morning.
l. vas assure your correspondent the farthes poss
bic from my intention to understate Cen IIarrons ser
vices NJ one values them OF him than l. and when
said the General resigned before he had rendered much
service In the war OF 1872 meant that his services were
slight compared with those he might have rendered ho
had had fair play and good chance. Very respectfully

of 100000 900 of gold by Government for no prposs
OF use whatever tends like the boarding of any oths,
commodity-to make it scarce and therefore dear
and to retard specie payments. A certain portion
perhaps one-thrd of the premium on gold may result
from this boarding process The remainder results
mainly from the depreciation in the credit Of our
