Extract of a Letter from Virginia, September 29.

It is certain true, that a Number of the Inhabitants (I was told 34) were killed and carried off lately from Cedar and Stony Creeks; and that some of the Murders were committed within 13 Miles of Lord Fairfax's House.

In a Letter from Carlisle, dated the 27th ult. it is said, that at M'Clure's Gap, about 7 Miles from that Place, the Wife of one Samuel Wilson was killed the Saturday before by the Indians.

And in another Letter from Harris's Ferry, wrote the 27th of September, there is Advice, that one Johnson, a Farmer in Paxton, was killed or carried off by the Enemy on the 19th of that Month, he not being heard of since.

We learn from Fort Littleton, that two of our Soldiers, who were taken last Year in Fort Granville, had come in there, having made their Escape from Fort Duquesne, and inform, that the Garrison of that Place did not exceed 200 Men: and that a Party of Indians had set out a few Days before they left it, to annoy Virginia and Maryland.

We hear from Lebanon, in Lancaster County, that last Friday four Children were carried off by the Indians.

From Reading, in Berks County, there is Advice, that on Thursday and Friday last some People were murdered in Bern Township by the Indians, and others carried off.
