We learn by Letters from Albany, that the famous Capt. Rogers, in an Excursion against the Enemy a few weeks ago, fearing his Party of 19 Men might discover him by too great a Noise in marching, obliged them to lay concealed a little Distance from the Enemy's Camp at the Narrows, whilst himself in the Evening boldly ventured up, and taking the Advantage of a Grenadier Sentinel, by answering a Friend, fairly brought him from his Post without the least Noise to his Comrades who soon after march'd him to Fort Edward, and gave him a Prisoner to Lord Loudon.
