Hradu irters, Carriiinz River, Jan. 24. Dea: Sir l'he eveat of which lxprtss ed s much apprehension in my letter to you, fr m Lowr-r Sandusky, has happened. Th d-tachra-nt under cul. Lwis was reinforced bv G n. Winchester with 250 men. He attended it, and took the command at the ri ver Ra s'n on the 20th, & ou the 2.d, he was attacted at Heviellc, bv a considerable Bri tish and I.idia i f rce with six pieces of artille ry ; the troops being surprised and the ground unfavorable, had but little opportunity of for ming to advantage. They wrre surrounded and broke in 20 or 25 minutes. A major and cap?.m and about 25 privates wtre al that aff cted their escape. I had but 360 men with me, about 3 miles above the Kapids, where the news first reach ed ine. I immediately ordered them to pre pare to march, and set out with my staff to o- vertake a detachment ot 300 men that had se out tnat morning tor tne river Kaisin. l over took them at the distance of 6 miles, but be fore the oiher troops (colonel Andrews' Ohio regiment) came up, it wasa&certaii ed that the defeat was complete, and it wa the unani mous opinion of general Payne. Pi rkins, and the .fiild officers, that we should return. A detachment to the amount ef i70 of th most active men, was sent forward with di rections to proceed as far as possible to assist those who -were fortunate enough to escape ; there were however bat few ; the snow was so deep that the fugitives wtre entirely ex hausted in running a few miles ; those that did g t ff effected it by tu-ning down to the lake a .d sucritir g thereselvts. I believe there were not m re than 40 or 50 that g t a miU fnvri the scene of action, a;id the greater part of them wi re overtaken. Never were the affairs of any army in a more prosperous situation than ours bvfc.re the unfortunate step of marching the detach ment to the river Kaisin ; it wai made not oniy wnnout any autnority irom me, out in opposition to my views. Every thing in my power was, nowever, none to prevent any disaster, a-.d reinforcements were pushed or with as much rapidity as possible ; (major Cot- grove s battalion, thehrstin the army j was within 14 tniles ot the scene oi action, whe: he heard of the d.feat, and 300 regular troops were also on their way. 1 remained at the Rapids with one regiment only.. In justice to general Winchester, I must observe, that I have understood that the measure (marchi' g trie detachment to the river Kaisin) was forced upon him by his officers ; but, whatever may have been the cause, and however irreat Chiuicothe, January 2.1 the rnhmitv. both as it recrardft tht nation anrl 1 , J - "O -----v.. totractor a letter trom trfntral Harrison to i.ovemour mdividuals, it 13 certainly not irreparable.
