   SLAVE STAMPEDE.––The slaves in Mason County are becoming migratory in their habits. Within the last fortnight, eight have made their escape to parts unknown––being the property of Messrs. Beale, Bateman, Capehart and Mrs. Lewis. We presume owners in Mason are to share the fate of slave holders in this vicinity––have their property wrested from them without remedy or redress.––Parkersburgh Gazette.
