But as eoual 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 correcting the mis statements of the correspondent of the Kentucky Intelligencer. The event has proven that I was not mistaken, and I how send you. the Indianapolis Journal, of the 10th ult. containing the remarks of *A Volunteer' upon "lbose pioductions.

It is also a well known fact, that if the attack upon Fort Meigs, in 1*13, had been

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 jMililia, and assigned to him the command of the squadron composed of two troops from lndian«i, and one of about thirty effectives from Kentucky, the aggregate being about 130. To a small body of mounted riflemen from the neighborhood of Ijouisville, I anneked some lndi.mi&ns, and formed a company the command of which was given toCapt. Guigcr. But that olficei, as well as the others from Kentucky, received Indiana commissions. Besides these above mentioned,Major Gen» Sameul 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

rifleman,

consist

ing of two companies from Indiana, (Spencer's and Robb1*) and the mixed company of Guigcr above mentioned. In the charge made by Major Daviess, he was attended by a very small number of his

proper command, [not Rangcis.^but properly equipped Dragoons.] jj| The loss in this unfortunate attempt was numerically small, being only two but great ns 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 this disaster*

The claims advanced tor Col. Daviess by the correspondent of the Kentucky Intelligencer, are entirely new. Shortly after the battle ihe 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 the newspapeis 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 altitudes, entirely inconsistent mth each other. The readers of 'the history' will think, (if they hclTeW rr,) ttiitt -oewnrew having ordered a charge by dismounted Dragoons in opposition to correct Military 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 undertaken by the Major upon his own responsibility, and which, 'won the victory and saved the army.' I 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 7011 loose.' But both accounts are equalfalse, as will be seen in the sequel.— Whilst upon the subject of the falsification of the Western wars, it is not inapplicable to mention that that of Mr. Marshall is natthe only one in which it h-is been done to my prejudice. Some years ago, a small volume was published in Kentucky, professing to gi*e an account of the

Indian wars, compiled by a Mr. Metcalf. In

the

m»

account which is given of the great battle fought by the army of Gen. Wayne, at the Rapids"of the Miami of the lake, the official communication of the commanding General to the Government, in which those who distinguished themselves are noticed, is so mutilated, that a reader of the account would suppose that none had done so but the Kentucky Volunteers. The names of all the rpgul^r officers are omitted. Amongst these, I had the honor to be mentioned by thnt distinguished commander for the acrvice I afforded him ns his Aid de campin that important victory. But the most singular and daring outrage upon the truth of history, and to

injuryi is yet to be mentioned. A history of the late war, in the shape of an Epic Poem, in several ttrtumcs wns published some lime ago, by a Poet. Emmons of Kentucky. The author, I believe, endeavors to follow the tree history, as far as it regards thcevartts of the tfar,nnd in no instance has he misplaced the officers who commanded thn several district armies, but in mine. He constitutes Gov. Shelby the commander in chief of the northwestern army, and not only places him in that station on the campaign of 1313, (in part of which he served as second in command,) bat in the previous operation^ (at the siege of Fort Megis, for instance.) h^ transfers the venerable Governor from his own fire side nl 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 find* recorded in the history of that siege at given by me. How that great patriot and venerable man would have treated this contemptible endeavor to clothe him in

Aden plumage,we have sufficient evidence from his conduct on -other occasions. I ask again, Mr. Editor, why am I dntf tingled out and made the victim of wen

coyttfl

None such woold°be tolerated rektieir* to the victories of Jackson Ind Brown—: of Perry and McDonoegh—of Bainbndge and Decatar. frit that! had less claim to be the author of the success of the forces which were committad to my direction, than the commanders who I bavtS named? The documents which folio# will be a sufficient answer to this question as It regards the campaign of 18il. Others, as little susceptible of contradiction, are In my possession, and have been repeatedly published in reference to the operations of the north-western army on the Canada frontier. I am, I think, possessed of a clue by which the causes of the vituperation and calumny of which I have been so long the object, and sometimes the victim,could be explained. But I forbear to £0 into the investigation. My object is defence —not attack. I owed it to the bragp officers and soldiers of the regular froops, and of the militia and volunteers of Indiana, to say that they were not the recreants which the correspondent of the Kentucky Intelligencer has attempted to make them. As to myself, the calumnies of which I complain, must, in a short time, cease to give me pain. If there were no other monitor to warn me, that in a few years I will be placed beyond their reach, the reminiscences recorded above would have done so, by bringing before 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 soldiers, in the then trackless wilderness of Ohio and Indiana. But, in common witlfevery military man of correct 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 fellow citizens no other favor but that of an examination of the responsible testimony 1 offer in opposition to the bare-faced, malignant and unsupported assertions of those who have assailed me. Of those who are the authors of the subjoined documents, Gen. Waller Taylor, after having served nine years in the Senate of the TJ* S. died a few years ago, but the statement made by him is coroborrated bj the signature of Col. Piatt, who was the* Quaitcr Master General upan the "Wabash Campaign, as he was afterwards to Gen. Jackson, and is the same gentleman who lately headed the Jackson Electoral Ticket of this Slate. The Major Parke who signs the Vincennes resf'lutions, is the pesent U. S. Judge for the district of Indiana, and it is no disparagement to others, to say, that for the estimable qualities of the head and heart —for legal learning and the confidence of the people of Indiana, he is second to none in his state. Major Laribee, besides distinguished himself in the battle of Tippecanoe, was still more distinguished in the battle of Brownstown, Where he lost an arm. lie is now the collector of Cincinnati. From the statements of these gentlemen, it will appear that the carnp was not

I respectfully Tcquest the Editors of such papers as may have published the communications to the Kentucky Intelligencer, to publish this article, as well as the documents, and I ask the sama favor of those, who upon reading them, may discover that they had imbibed inaccurate opinions Of the iiiatters to which they refer, or who may think that theirs subscribers may have done so.
