   A Negro Stampede.––Great excitement prevails here among our colored population, on account of the recent passage of the fugitive slave bill. A party of seventeen negroes, who had formerly been slaves, started on Saturday, armed to the teeth with pistols and bowie knives, en route for Canada. Small parties are leaving daily.
