BATTLP. OF FORT STKPHKXSON. Fhe following testimony, the reader w ill Iicar in mind, Is given by GoveYnor Duncan of Illinois, a t ti tn n " - - - nig : W;him.ton City, March 25, Kifl. Pmr Sir: Your letter of iho 2Utu 1ms been re ceived, and I most cheerfully comply with your re-que-!, in giving xui.1i an account of the transactions at Sanihi.sky, as my memory, at this period, and my time enable mo to do. About iho l-'Oth of July, 113, Oen. Harrison, t li-t) nt the Lower Sandusky, hearing thai the Bri tish army had crossed Lake Erie, to Fort Meigs, "being about five - tiioosand strong, immediately . changed his head quarters lo Seneca, seven pr "eiaht miles Hp the Sandusky river, where he nss semhled his forces, Jhen on 'lie march from the in terior, leaving Maj, Croghan, with alut 150 men to Jcfuiid Fort Slephcnsun; with an understanding 'fit (lie time that the fort, then -in-a-weak and wretched condition, wis to be nltaudoned, should the enemy advance with artillery; but if riot, to be defended lo the Iar-t nvtremily. Harrison, with his force, then small, had scarce. r1y left wrtiefhretTrri'g iorl (which was only a slockading of -email round logs, and a few log store hmises) in a proper state of tlef'ince, in which he evinced the most admirable judgement and the mnat untiring perseverance. During" the last tenor twelve days that inter vened between the lime that Gen. Ilarrisoe left us I ilm iiiiiiMiiraium of lliw nnemy; ditell was dug, four feet deep and six feet wide, entirely round the "fort," outside the slockading, tho ground for 200 and iimiiy oilier prepa rations made for the enemy. About this time (Jen. Uartison.jcceived infor mation that tiie ennmy had raised the eeig al Fort Meios, and had started in the direction of Sandus ky and Camp Seneca. - On receiving this intelli gencr, he determined' to retrr-at from his position; and immediately writ an express to Fort Stephen goo, which arrived ubout aunrise, ordering Maj. Croghan to burn the fori with alt the munition and stores, and retreat vilkout iilay tb head quar- 4er, giving also ome precautionary instructions about the route, A.-C.." ' '- -, -- -'- ()n receiving this oder, Croghan inslan;ly placed ' il iu the hands of the officers, who were all pres. ernt, and required them ta consider it, and expre! on opinion "of the propriety of obsying or disobey. anff il. The board was formed and on nutting the question, nrginning, as whim .who ino youngosi m- licer, it was ascertained that a majority of us rrrf for ditohfuintt the order.

Hall, with bis squadron of dragoonvilb order t arrest Crog han, and bring turn to head' quarters, (which was done,) and. sent another officer' ta take command. By Bi liimviii .vonsequeaoe ol hi not arriving aLTceauly miis expectations and orders, tne lien abandoned all idea of retreat, although his muni, lions and stores were piled up ready to be set on fire as soon as Crnghan should reach Seneca; and it is uot to bo duuWd that if Croghan had arrived according to orders 03" Gen. Harrison would have retreated instantly, leaving the whole frontier, our fleet at Erie, and tho stores at Cloveland the des truction uf which was tho object of the invasion and movements dow n the lake uf Ac merry of the enemy!! After being detained ono night, Croghau re turned to. Sandusky, aud was re-instated iu his command, An occasion which gave indiscribablo joy to the officers and -soldier in the fort, and winch only could bo equalled in intensity of teeling by the chagrin evinced at his arrest. Especially was the event pleasing to thoso officer who had sustained him in disobeying the order, resolved as they were, when he was arrested, to share bis lute, be it good or evil. . . Soon after his return, the enemy, so lung cxpec ted, made his appearance, and demanded a snrren der. Croghau answered, by directing Ensign Shipp to assure Gen. Proctor that it would be blown to first. "-. 1 need hardly say, alter what ha been related, that their appearance releiving iw from our long suspense, was hailed with seeming jov by the .Ma jor and most, if riot, all of his command. 1 he excitement produced by what had occurred, spired nis. command with an enthusiasm rarefy it ever surpassed, and which alone renders incnjn vincible.

We were sitting together ; he sprung upon his feet, saying, " Dun can," every man to his post, for in twenty minutes they will attempt to take us by storm.

Y'ou are right, air, in my jurigment,1n saying that the Government ha not done justice lo Col.

To know that I did my duty to my country, though not hardiyied into manhood, was then, and i now, enough for me. But of him, I frel no hesitancy in snying injustice ha been done to him, in being overlooked by the Government, and the erroneous statements of historians. i- M'Afli, the historian of tho late wary, and Dawson1, the biographer of. Gen-.-Harrison, have studiously knpVout of view, that the object of the invasion was the destruction1 of our ships, under Commodore. Perry atPresmie Jslpj and boats and oli;itude by the British were reconnoitered-Hind on one or two oexatltms, were attempted to be de stroyed by landing n board their fleet. They have also fulled to account for tho movement of the wholn British forces dowrTthe lake, in the direction of Cleavetand and I'ic, before their defeat at San. fluafey, Wtllcn Was al lacked lo aulisly liieir inuiau ! allies, who demanded tho scalp and plunder of tho place.
