   The St. Louis News speaking of the escape of slaves from Missouri into Kansas, says: We know from information received from private sources, that the slaveholders on the border are beginning to suffer severely from the constantly occurring stampede of slaves. They are enticed in gangs of dozens and scores, by sympathizers, into Kansas, kept concealed in that territory for a time, and then sent toward Canada, through Iowa. The News intimates that this is done by the free State men of Kansas, to wipe out old scores.
