Extract of a letter from Albany, Sept. 15.
"Last Monday, at gun firing, our army moved forward, and they are now four miles above Still water, in the greatest spirits and health. The enemy have called in their advanced posts, which were stationed a little below Gen Schuyler's house. Burgoyne continues his head quarters at fort Miller. Gen. Lincoln with his army is at Pawlet, a place from whence he can easily move in the rear of the enemy.
Yesterday between 2 and 200 Indians arrived here they almost all brought their arms with them, and no doubt they will now be taken into our service."
