The Virginia Gazette

By the last intelligence from Canada (which is unquestionably true) we learn, that thousands of American prisoners, taken from the back settlements of these states, are now in the hands of the savages, whose unparallelled barbarity (if they be not rescued) will soon put their miserable lives to a fatal period; listen America!

Our neglecting to put an end to the depredations of these savages, and their more savage employers (by the reduction of Canada) is the admiration of the world! And should we (by omission) let slip the present opportunity, it will cost us rivers of blood, together with the best part of America, and one neglect would be justly handed down with infamy to all future generations.
