   SLAVE STAMPEDE.--It will be seen by our despatches that there had been another slave stampede from this State, and that a portion of the fugitives had been arrested at Cincinnati, after having fired upon and wounded some of their pursuers. A negro woman seeing her capture certain, murdered one of her children and wounded two others. It is high time Kentucky slave holders were taking some prompt and effective measures to secure themselves against the forays of Ohio abolitionists.
