From the Hamilton (Ohio) Intelligencer. Cattle of Tippecanoe. North Bend, 11th Nov. 1833. Sni My attention was called some weeks ago, to an article in your paper upon ihe "Battle of Tippecanoe," re-printed from tho Kentucky Intelligencer. It was in the shape of a communication to the editor of that paper; from some person who had, he said, lately visited the scene of the battle. Within a few weeks since, I saw, in the Vincenncs -Gazette, a similar article extracted, like the other, from the Kentucky Intelligencer. As both of these articles contain a most infamous libel upon my character, I have determined to reply to them. But as equal injustice was done to the Regular Troops and the Volunteers, and the Militia of Indiana which served in the battle, I confidently expected that some one of the survivors would undertake the task of correctmg the mis-statements of the correspondent of the Kentucky Intelligencer. The event has proven that I was not mistaken, and I now send you the Indianapolis Journal, of the 10th ult. containing the remarks of 'A Volunteer' upon those productions. The responsibility and respectability of this writer is vouched for by tho editor of the Journal. He is known to me also. He was an officer in the most distinguished corps which erved at Tippecanoe, and is second to none in integrity, character, and the confidence of the people of Indiana. But as he only held the rank of Subal-

tern in the action, although from the fall of his j inree senior orncemie was promoted to a captaincy at its close, there were many things which he could only know from the report of others. I must ask the favorof you to publish in addition to his state ments, the documents herewith sent. They are taken from a work written by Mr. Moses Dawson, of Cincinnati, and published in that city in 1821, the originals of which are now in his possession. Of the two communications re-published from the Kentucky Intelligencer and tho Vincennes Gazette, the former is sufficiently erroneous and exceptionable, but the latter is still more so. They both, however, assert that the ground upon which the army was encamped on the night of the battle, was taken upon the dictation or suggestion of the Indians. This is an old calumny, often refuted, and raised, with others equally false and infamous, for party and political purposes. But having had their effect having performed their part, ought they not now to cease? Ought tho true history of the country, tho events of the battles, terminating in glorious victory, to be falsified togratify par ty or private rancor? or for an object not much less unworthy, to elevate the character of one man, by robbery of tho claims of another? Are these persecutions under which I have for twenty years suffered, never to cease? Now that I am in no one's way that I hold no office that I am a candidate for none that I aim at no other distinction than that of an Ohio farmer; ought the time so necessary, properly to fill that character, and so important to my family, to be occupied in repelling the attacks, direct and indirect, which are constantly made upon my military reputation? Why am 1 thus singled out ? Why continually held up to the eyes of the American people as having betrayed from incapacity, or some other cause, the confidence reposed in mo by the government? Victories to other American Generals have been the certain avenues of fame, distinction, and fortune; whilst I surrender all claims to the two latter, is it just to deprive me of a reputation, the result of greater labor and greater exposure than any other American commander was subject to since the war of the revolution, and at greater personal hazard than any of them. I make this assertion without fear of contradiction from any respectable source. When I took the command of the Wabash expedition in 1811, at the solicitation of the government, an honor for which I was indebted to the circumstances of my having long served under the gallant, able Wayne, I was perfectly aware that in the event of an action by day light, I should have been the object at which every Indian would aim, and as I was intimately and personally known to all of them, my chance of escape would of course be less than any other. It is also a well known fact, that if the attack upon Fort Meigs, in 1813, had been successful, the Indians had stipulated with Gen. Proctor, that the rest of the garrison should be spared, if myself and any others who had participated in the battle of Tippecanoe, was delivered up to do treated as they might think proper. What would have been my fate, and that of my gallant aid de-camps, Croghan and OTallon, may be easily conjectured, by those who understand the kind of treatment usually received by Indian prisoners, who have rendered themselves obnoxious to them. But it was not dangers resulting from service in the field to which I was alone ex nosed. Three , i times I escaped assassination by the interference of kind Providence, in two of which instances the plan was laid with the deep cunning characteristic of the Indian, that their failure seems almost miraculous. It may be supposed by some that lam too much excited by the slanders of an anonymous writer. I answer, that I should not have noticed them, if an importance, which they would not otherwise have possessed, had not been given by their rcpublica tion in other papers. This circumstance will be considered as sufficient evidence that the editors of those papers believed them to be true, and their numerous readers will imbibe the same opinion, and ihui gander upon the commander and nine tenths of the army i 1 xOcc i cd sis t rue Qnd fti i ill ful history. The comrfitnations m the Kentucky Intelligencer have the appearance of being made by different persons; they are however, most probably arrows from the same quiver, let off for the same object, and differing only in the strength of tho venom with which their points are charged. They both assert the same falsehood in relation to the choice of the camp, and both would make it appear that Major Daviess was the efficient commander in the action, whilst the legal commander was little more than a cypher. But the second communica tion, without equivocation or evasion, boldly asserts opoa tho 'authority of an aged and respectable

man,' who claims to have been in the action, that every thing appeared to be lost 'the stoutest heaits quailed' the destruction of the army apbeared to be inevitable, when 'Major Davies3, at the head of his command, consisting of a few hundred Kentucky Rangers,' charged the Indians, gained the victory, and saved the army, with the loss of his own life. Sustained by the testimony which follows, coming from the most respectable officers who survived the battle, I pronounce the aged and respectable man,' who gave this information, an infamous imposter. No person, who was in the action could have made a statement so entirely destitute of truth. Because, 1st, there was no such corps in the army as Kentucky Rangers; and 2d, because the charge made by Major Daviess, so far from f aininr? the victorv entirely failed. The

whole number of citizens of Kentucky in the tion, were about seventy. They formed no distinct corp3, but were incorporated with the Indiana Volunteers. ) Col. Daviess himself was a private volunteer. He came on from Kentucky with five or six others, who were incorporated with the volunteer troop of dragoons. To himself I gave the commission of Major in the Indiana Militia, and assigned to him the command of the squadron composed of two troops from Indiana, and one of about thirty effectives from Kentucky, the aggregate being about 130. To a small body of mounted riflemen from the neighborhood of Louisville, I annexed some Indianians, and formed a company the command of which was given to Capt. Guiger But that officer, as well as the others from Ken tucky, received Indiana commissions. Besides these above mentioned, Major Gen. Samuel Wells, and Col. Abraham Owen, joined as private volunteers. The former received a commission as Major, and had assigned to him the command of all the mounted riflemen, consisting of two companies from Indiana (Spencer and Robbs) and the mixed company of Guiger above mentioned. In the charge made by Major Daviess, he was attended by a very small number of his proper command, not Rancers but properly equipped Drasoons.l 1 he loss in this unfortunate attempt was numerically small, being only two; but great as regards the merits of those who fell. Daviess himself, and Col. White, of Illinois, serving as a private volunteer. If the charge had been successful, I should have considered it no compensation for the lives of those brave men and devoted patriots. The statement of Capt. Snelling, will show the steps that were taken on the occurrence of the disaster. Tho claims advanced for Col. Daviess by the correspondent of the Kentucky Intelligencer, are entirely new. Shortly after the battle the friends of Col. Daviess made a violent attack upon me in the Kentucky newspapers, upon the ground of my having sacrificed him by having ordered him to make this very charge, which is now represented to have won the victory and saved the army.' From tho newspapers this accusation has been transferred into a work written by Humphrey Marshall, styled the 'History of Kentucky.' I am thus placed before the public in two attitudes, entirely inconsistent with each other. The readers of 'the history' will think, (if they believe it,) that I deserve to be shotor having ordered a charge by dismounted Dragoons in opposition to correct militrary principles, and by which a distinguished man was lost to his country. Whilst the readers of the Intelligencer will think that I merit to be cashiered at least for not having ordered the charge which was under taken by the Major upon his own resposibihty, and which, 'won the victorv and saved the armv.' 1 am thus, Mr. Editor, placed in the situation of a boy, to whom some waggish comrade proposes the determination of a bet by tossing up a copper on the terms, heads I win tails you loose.' But both accounts are equally false, as will be seen in the sequel. Whilst upon tho subject of the falsification of the Western wars, it is not inapplicable to mention that of Mr. Marshall is not the only one in which it has been done to my prejudice. Some years ago, a small volume was published in Kentucky, professing to give an account of the Indian wars, complied by a Mr. Metcalf. In the account which is given of the great battle fought by tho army ofGen. Wayne, at the Rapids of the Miami of the lake, the official communicatien of the commanding General to the government, in which those who distinguished themselves are noticed, is so i mutilated, that a reader of the account would sup pose that none had done so but the Kentucky volunteers. The names of all the regular afiicers are omitted. Amongst these, I had the honor to be mentioned hv that distinguished commander for the service I atmrded him as his Aid de-camp in that important victory. But the most singular and daring outrage upon the truth of history, and to my injury, is yet to be mentioned. A history of the late war, in the shape of an Epic Poem, in several volumes, was published some time ago, by aDoct. Emmons of Kentucky. The author,! believe, endeavors to follow the true history, as far as it regards the events of the war, and in no instance has he misplaced the ofiicers who commanded the several district armies, but in mine. He constitutes Gov. Shelby the commander in chief of the northwestern army, and not only places him in a station on the campaign of lS13,(in part of which he serv ed as second in command,) but in the previous operations, (at the siege of Fort Meigs for instancej) he transfers the venerable Governor from his own fire side at Frankfort, to that fortress, invests him with the command, surrounds him with my own Aids-de-camp, and puts into his mouth the very orders which he finds recorded in the history of that siege as given by me. How that great patriot and venerable man would have treated this contemptible endeavor to clothe him in stolen plumagej we have sufficient evidence from his conduct on other occa sions. I ask again, Mr. Editor, why ami thus singled out and made the victim of such vile misrepresentation, and falsifications of the history of our country ? No such attempt is made as to other commanders. None such would be tolerated in relation to the victories of Jackson and Brown of Perry and McDonough of Bainbridge and Decatur. Is it that I had less claim to bo the author of the iwqcqs of

the forces which were committed to my direction, than the commanders who I have named? The documents which follow will be a sufficient answer to this question as it regards the campaign of 1811. Others, as little suspectible of contradiction, are in my possession, and have been repeatedly published, in reference to the operation of the north western army on the Canada frontier. I am, I think, possessed of a clue by which the causes of tho vituperation and calumny of which I have been so long the object, and sometimes the victim, could be explained. But I forbear to go into the investigation. My object is defence not attack. I owed it to the brave officers and soldiers of the regular troops, and of the militia and volunteers of Indiana, to say that they were not the recreants which the corres

pondent of the Kentucky Intelligencer has attempt ac-'fed to make them. As to myself, the calumnies of which 1 complain must, in a short time, cease to give me pain. If there were no other monitor to! warn me, tuat in a tew years 1 will be placed be . . r V . a, 1 yond their reach, the reminiscences recorded above would have done so, by bringing befoie me the fact, that now upwards of forty-two years have passed away since in the capacity of a subaltern officer, I first encountered the difficulties and hardships of a soldier, in tho then trackless wilderness of Ohio and Indiana. But, in common with every military man ofcorrect principles, I cannot rest under the imputation of having betrayed the trust reposed in me by my country, or that the honor of that country has ever been tarnished by my hands. In relation to this matter I ask of my fellow citizens no other favor but that of an examination of the responsible testimony 1 oiler in opposition to the bare faced, ma

lignant, and unsupported assertions of those who dsch"Se ot m' u fut' fV coutry, without i,.;,.n cSn;i0,i .,,0 iSr.i i ,i .i r regard to personal elevation. If thev have met with lave assailed me.

W. II. HARRISON. Remarkable Longevity. Mrs. Betsy Trantham, died in Maury county, in this State, on the 10th of 1834, at the uncommonly advanced age of one hundred and riFTi-rou years. She was born in Germany, and emigrated to the British Colonies in America, at the time the first settlement was made in North Carolina, in the year 1710. It is a matter of history that the proprietors of Carolina induced a number of Palatines from Germany to emigrate to their lands in that Colony, in order to give value to their possessions. For this purpose ships were prepared to convey the emigrants, and upon their arrival Governor Snyte was directed to give each 100 acres of land. Among the number of those who emigrated at that time, which was 120 years ago, was Mrs. Trantham. A the age of 120 her eye sight became almost extinct, but during the last twenty years of her life, she possessed tho power of vision as perfectly as at the age of 20 For many years previous to her death she was unable to walk and it is said to have required a great attention in her friends for many years to prevent the temperature of her body from falling so low as not to sustain animal life For this purpose, she is said to have been placed between two feather beds for many years betore her death, and by this means to have retained the natural warmth of her body. At the time of her death, she had entirely lost the sense of taste and hearing. For twenty years before her death she was unable to distinguish the difference between the taste of sugar and vinegar. At the age of sixty-five she bore her only child, who is now living, and promises to reach an uncommonly advanced age. We doubt whether the annals of modern history can produce an equally remarkable instance of longevity. Central (Ten.) Monitor. Advantages of Confinement..

From the Frankfort Ky. Argus. Col. Johnson. The following letter from Col. Johnson is in response to that of a committee of tho democratic members of the Kentucky Legislature Messrs. Willis, Wingatc and Phelps, announcing to him their proceeding?, and nominating him as a candidate for the Presidency. The sentiments contained in the letter arc modest, clear and unexceptionable, and are characteristic of his whole life. He submits all claims to office to tho decision of the people, and with their decision he will be content. The people will sustain the just claims of those, who have fought and bled in vindication of their rights and no one, save Andrew Jackson, has a stronger claim upon tha nation in this respect, than Richard M. Johnson. In speaking thus of tho high claims of our own fellow-citizen, for the highest office in tho Govern

ment, we do not intend to disparage, in the least degree, tho high claims also, to that office, of our enlightened, patriotic and persecuted Vice Presi dent. Upon this subject, however, as wo have heretofore expressed our sentiments, wo stand pledged to support the candidates for President and Vice President, who may be nominated by the regular democratic National Convention.
