Arnisirung, iho Secretary of War, had nv.*r*ruled
Harrison's idea of cunying the invasion of Cunada
around the bead of ibe hikes. His plan was tu oh-
tain command of the lakes bv a nnv.il victeiy, and
carry out army into Conudu by trantpoit* lm.lt for
tho purpota. The fleet to contend for the mu-tery
%viili the English, was prepared nour Erie, under
Perry. Tlm Transports were built by Jesup, at
Cleveland,and Harrison, whose duty it ua* recov

Erie, { n Pennsylvania, to Sandusky buy. Sandusky

came down the buy to Smidusky, in the prosei'titmii

In making this soloction, ibe young hhd gallant

■•tibotwntially • thnt the defence of his peat wata point
uf honor, which could only lie satisfied by an actual
experiment of tha relative lorco aud foituno of hit
antMgoni-tnnd him-olf.
"While this nagotiatinn wa-|o prngreaa, Proctor
waa employed in lund.ng hia urtlll.-ry and giving it •
position in aid of hia gon hoots; from which, on the
delivery of Cioghan'a answer, a heavy fire w..a
opened and continued on the fort, with little if any
iolMmisslun doting the night. At dnyloenk, a
socun.1 buttery nf three tlx pounders watenlubli-bed
wi-liin two hundred mid fifty yards uf the pickets;
and about four ..'clock, ,p. m. it was found that the
whole fire of thu B.itiab cannon, was Qoncenttutcii
on the northwest corner of the fori—a circumstunce,
sufficiently indicating the point and t|ieciea of attack'
m.'dituieil upon it. Mhjoi Croghan, accordingly.
hnslet'Otl Ut employ such means ms he (tt>s*es*rd to
strengthen tha menaced angle, and hnd barely exe
cuted hi* purpka.i, when the enemy (cuvering him
self with -rn- ke) waa seen rapidly advancing, and
but n few puces distant from the pickets. A general
and w-, II directed fire of musketry from thn garrison,
which immediate y followed t hia discovery, hud the
effect ol'cliucking hi- progress and runaiderubly dis-'
unhing Id* order, but the miter being rpeedily re-
-lured, the movement was resumed, and tlio ditch
readied and occupied by the heud nf the column.—
It. wns at tbia critical moment, that Croghau’s single
pier* ol aitdlery, charg. d with grape shot, and bo
plnc-d us luenfilndo the usauihnt*. opened its fire,
and with such effect,that in a few minutes, llm combat
was virtually ended and ll.e battle won. M"* 1 “I*
the enemy who had entered the ditch, were killed
or wounded; and such of them as wore leas advanced
ii.d able to fly, sought safely in the neighl.oilug
woods—earning with them nodisnosiiiun to renew
tint attack', and (trongiy imprnasing their Indian
allies with their own panic. Proctor now saw, that
all ultempta lu tally the .fugitive* wei® hu|ieluta,iind
that tu avoid a greater cahmilv,* hia mott prudent
cutir-e would be, to re*cmbui k wlint could be culivc-

ately to Maiden."
Wu now coma to the unpublished history con
nected with ihll'eVent, It wi.I explain why thn re
sult* uf this victory were carefully kept uul uf view
ut the time—why Croghan consented to have hi#
motivci tor disobeying id* orders misieprc-cnted,
and Harrison's conduct in giving them vindicated—
and why Harrison ao preaeveringiy falsified .the truth
