Alexandria (VA) Gazette, "The Stampede," October 1, 1858

              The Stampede.

   We made mention in our last, says the Charlestown Free Press, of the stampede of seven negroes from our county,––and of their arrest near Chambersburg, Pa. They were lodged in our jail, on Thursday evening last, at a cost of more than $2000 to their owners. On Friday, three negroes the property of Mr. Armisted Carter, of Fauquier, were arrested at Rippon, in this county, and confined in the jail until secured to their master. 

   The sale on Monday of the negroes arrested from this county, with two or three others, attracted quite a number of purchasers from abroad.
