Richmond (VA) Dispatch, "Escape of Slaves from Loudon," September 17, 1856

         Escape of Slaves from Loudon.

 CORRESPONDENCE OF THE DISPATCH.

                        LEESBURG, Loudon, Sept. 15th.

   A stampede of negroes took place in this county Saturday night or Sunday. General Rust loses three, Gabriel Vanderventer three, Charles Douglas one woman and her children. Eight grown persons, and I believe three children. More may be gone, but it is too early in the day to ascertain the fact.
