NEGRO STAMPEDE.--We understand that one of our citizens received a despatch from Natchez yesterday, giving an account of the escape from that city of forty negroes. It is conjectured that they were carried off by some up-river boat, in the hands of Abolitionists of negro thieves.--Memphis Appeal, Dec. 21.
Another Escape of Slaves.
Six slaves belonging to Mr. Levi Dougherty, who lives on Fourth street, between Madison and Russell, Covington, Ky., together with two belonging to Mr. Gade, residing in the same neighborhood, made their escape from bondage on Sunday night. They crossed the river about eleven o'clock, and ere this are far on their way towards Canada. Their aggregate value to their owners was about eight thousand dollars.
