The Lexington Union of Friday, says: On Thursday night another stampede of negroes occurred. About seventy-five left, taking with them a lot of horses, males, wagons, — &c. We think it would be a good plan, and an economical one too, for the owners of slaves to get them all together, charters a steamboat and send all who wish to go, to Kansas. There is no security for slaves, and as long as they remain for nothing else.
