{"value"=>"The evacuation of Tyconderoga has doubtless caused much uneasiness; there is really nothing very alarming in it; he has written a full account to Congress, which ought to justify him; but in justifying him they must take blame on themselves, and that is too bitter a pill for a public body; he was obliged to retreat or he would have lost his army as well as the cannon and stores; will have another bout with the enemy before they get down the country; a party of them got a good scourging near Fort Ann from the force under Col. Long."}
