  Major Haynie, of Ouschita county, Ark., in a letter dated on the 10th inst., says that eleven negroes had runaway from his neighborhood, and a general stampede was apprehended. The planters had become somewhat alarmed, and had adopted measures of precaution, and were using every exertion to capture the runaways. It was thought that there was a concert of action among the slaves in that vicinity.
