B., though horribly wounded, and dying, returned the fire, and killed Ross on the spot. 'From the "Caddo Gazette," of the 12th inst., we learn the frightful death of Colonel Robert Potter. . . .

"I read in the 'Gazette des Tribunaux' that the gang of robbers and assassins who have been arrested by the Champs Elysees in one of those little subterranean taverns " "They are real caverns." "That this band of scoundrels has been confined in La Force." "Poor Germain, good society for him."
This was published in December, 1787, in both The Virginia Gazette and The Virginia Independent Chronicle, as well as in pamphlet form at the time, and recently in Ford’s Pamphlets on the Constitution.
We should calumniate the South if we amused ourselves by making a collection of atrocious deeds, in the same manner that we should calumniate France by seeking in the Police Gazette for the description of her social state. There is, notwithstanding, this difference between the iniquities of slavery and our own: the first are almost always unpunished, while the second are repressed by the courts.
"Have you seen a morning paper?" "No." "Look at this." He handed me a copy of the Gazette.

And here is the account of what happened to him, as it was published next morning, in the Water-proof Gazette, on the finest watered paper, for the use of the great fairy, Mrs. Bedonebyasyoudid, who reads the news very carefully every morning, and especially the police cases, as you will hear very soon.
I recalled Simon Fuge's excited description of the long night in the boat, and I could reconstitute the night from end to end.
