bled at Vincennes in September, and before its march from that place was joined by Col. J. H. Daviess and a few, less thari twenty, dragoons from

Kentucky to go on the expedition. The troops left j

Vincennes about the 2oth cf September, and one ot the first days of Cctober commenced building the fort. While the troops were thus employed, Gov. Harrison sent messengers inviting the Indians of Tecumseh's binditti to a friendly council, or warning them to disperso. They declined doing either, and about this time a family was killed on Err.barras river, in Illinois, a few miles north west of Vincennes, and one of our sentinels was shot by an Indian on the night of the 10th of October. These transactions indicated too strongly to be misunderstood what we had to apprehend from that banditti

of savages, and Gov. Harrison called on the citizens of the "Territory; many of them volunteered and Hocked to the standard of their Governor. Captain

A very interesting and free discussion took place,

on the subject of the I heological Seminary at South Hanover. It appears that an objection had

arisen to the institution, in consequence of he ap-

worlcs bear witness. It is true they all behaved

well, and that the gallant Owen of Kentucky fell in

the front of the battle while animating our men in the retiring line, by his words and his example, to face about, charge the enemy, and maintain their ground. Maj. Bain of the army fell mortally and Col. Bartholomew of Indiana Territory severely wounded also, leading and animating their commands to the charge; and few if any of our field officers were more eminently useful than Majors Clark and Taylor of the Territory.
