orders to his men, and in the mean time, according to Mr. B., “word ran through the army that he had killed Tecumseh.”  This is more remarkable, when it is recollected, that the only person, except the commanding general, who could identify the fallen chief, was Anthony Shane, and he was in a different part of the field, (on the bank of the Thames) and did not visit this part of the line until the action was entirely over!  The witness further states, that no other chief of high rank was killed in this part of the line, but Tecumseh.  Anthony Shane says that Tecumseh’s brother-in-law, and principal chief, Wasegoboah, was killed ten or fifteen steps from where Tecumseh fell.  Black Hawk also testifies, that near Tecumseh, there was lying a large, fine looking Potawatamie, decked off in his plumes and war-paint, whom the Americans mistook for Tecumseh.  Mr. B. says that a medal was taken from the body of the Indian killed by colonel Johnson, which was known to have been presented by the British government to Tecumseh.  Where is the authority for this?  When Shane was examining the body, and so much in doubt whether it was Tecumseh as to require the blood to be washed from the face, before he could decide with certainty, where was this medal, which of itself would have settled the question of identity?  It is singular, that neither Shane nor Wall speaks of a medal.  Mr. B. says that Tecumseh was killed by a ball and three buckshot, fired by a horseman, and as colonel Johnson was the only person in that part of the battle who fought on horseback, his pistols being loaded with a ball and three buckshot, settles the question, that the colonel killed Tecumseh.  Again, the question may be asked, how Mr. B. knows the fact as to the manner in which these pistols were loaded?  And if they were so loaded, who can say whether the chief was killed by this shot, the wound in the eyes, that in the neck, or the one in the hip?  But again; colonel Johnson was not the only person who fought on horseback in this part of the battle.  He led a “forlorn hope” of twenty men, all mounted; while on his left was Davidson’s company of one hundred and forty men, also on horseback.  Mr. Wall, who was one of the “forlorn hope,” says, “the fighting became very severe, each party mingling with the other.”  Finally, Mr. B. closes his testimony with the remark, that it was well known and acknowledged, by the British and Indians, at the time, that Tecumseh received his death from the hand of colonel Johnson, as appears by James’ History of the Late War.  It is stated by the historian here cited, that colonel Johnson shot Tecumseh in the head—­that the body was recognized not only by the British officers who were prisoners, but by commodore Perry and several other American officers:  Mr. James also expresses his surprise that general Harrison should have omitted, in his official letter to the War Department, to mention the death of this chief.  Now, we have the authority of several American officers, of high rank, for stating,
