LOUISVILLE HEADQUARTERS, DECEMBER

• GENERAL ORDERS.
THE adjutant general will again proceed to the annual
convention of the field officers of the refpeftive re
giments and battalions, together with the brigade infpedors
of the brigades they reflectively belong to, at such times,
and at such places, as may be mod convenient for all the
field officers of such brigades, in order to Viftruct them iu
the discipline preferiVd by Congress, and in order that the
evolutions preferibed bv law may be praftifed. The briga
dier generals will order a company of light infantry'or
fubHers to attend each refpetftive brigade convention of of
ficers, provided and equipped as the law directs such corps
to be.
In infancies, however, where man-fed inconvenience?
anft* in convening the field officers in each brigade, and
when, from various causes, the objtnft of such convention
cannot be fully answered, the brigadier general of each
brigade will, in lieu thereof, adopt such mode as he may
deem bed calculated for more effectually indrueVmg the
field officers in the discipline preferibed. And the com
niar.def in chief is imprefl’vd with the opinion that the object
can be more generally tftcCLd in brigades, where it may
be found inconvenient to convene the field officers, by or
dering the field officers, or officer in each regimental or
battalion diftridY, to attend the adjutant general when the
regimented or battalion office.s are convened, for the pur
poii of being indrucled in the discipline and evolutions.
He will alio concert with the several brigade infpetlors
the molt proper time for convening the refpeftive regi
mental or battalion officers, with the adjutants and firft
ierjeants thereof, tor the purpose of indruCting them in the
laid discipline. And as it is of the grtateif conlequence
that the privates should be particularly taught the duty re
quired of them in the field, the commanding officers of the
refpecYive regiments and battalions are called on to aCY in
concert with the adjutant general and brigade infpeefors,
by ordering regimental and battalion muders at such times
as they may be notified by tlie adjutant general that lie will
attend them for the purpose.
i he adjutant general is required, immediately after he
fliall have completed hi? annual tour for the purpose of in
f’xSioii, to provide the commander in chief with a. return
oi the names r.i the held and company officers.throughout
the date, designating to what regiment and battalion they

compliffied this great object, and now announces to the
public, that he is iu poft'effion of a complete Ikeleton* of
this antique wonder of North America, after a. long, la
borious, and uncertain enterprise; they were dug up in
Orange and Ulster counties, (state of New York) where
they nmft have lain certainly many hundred Jeirs. No
other vestige remains of thele animals; nothing but a con
fufed tradition, among the natives of our country,-which
states their existence ten thouland moons ago; but, what
ever might have been the appearance of this enormous
quadruped when clothed with flelh, his maffy bones can
alone lead us to imagine; already convinced that he was
the largest of terrestrial beings! ..... .

in order to indemnity the fublcriber, it must v be a separate

Wapikinamoiik, Matihiakin, and -myfelf, about three I

Ohio, near Lufk’s ferry. We then eroded die riverTiS !
hunted on the Kentucky fide, where we killed a deer and 1
returning to our camp with it we fell in company V lth * 1
white man who called himfelf Harrison. On comma u ! I
to us, the white man observed, that he-was lucky in meft ? I
ing with as he wanted to buy forne meat. Wapik&J
mouk proposed felling him a part of the deer we hadi'Jlel I
I answered, no, we will not fell, but’ vve will give him I
fame, which we accordingly did; and the whiteman gave 1
us fome whilkey hi return, of which we all drank until we I
were intoxicated. While we were drinking the white man I
proposed a wrefile with Wapikinampuk; they took bold, I
and the white man threw hiradov/n. Wapikinamouk then I
demanded fatisfaffion at fome other exercise, and propokj I

got up we took another dram, anti then the Indians pro- I
poled recrossing the Ohio, upon width the white man alk- I
ec! which way we wer going. We answered towards I
Kalkalkias, and the white man said he would go with us.
We then all crossed the river and travelled together. After S
fame time we fell into a waggon road, along which we I
continued to journey, until the Indians proposed quitting I
it on account of a great bend they said it made at that I
place. The white maa a/ked why we quitted the read I
We answered, because it made a great bend there, and I
that by quitting it we took a ffiort cut- He then alighted ft
from his horse, and requested me to ride a while, and be 1

I mounted the horde and rode for lome time, when I got I.
down and requested the white man to ride, which he did.’ I
VY apikinamouk then called out tome in the Indian language I
why I ]>ad given the white man his horle. I anlVered, ft
because I wiffied the white man to ride, or that I did not ft

objerv ed, that he was a handsome horse and that he would ft
have him, we mufi kill the white man. After this to ft
travelled for fome ftiort time, I being in front, the white ft

I saw toe white man fall from his horse, and that IVjpi- ft
