4. Resolved, That congress entertain a high sense of the merit of colonel Croghan, and the officers and men under his command, for their gallant defence of Fort Stephenson, on the Lower Sandusky, on the 1st and 2d of August, 1813, repelling, with great slaughter, the assault of a British and Indian army much superior in number; and that the president be requested to present an elegant sword to colonel Croghan.
