   A stampede of fifteen slaves occurred from Key West on the night of the 6th. A small sail boat, belonging to the Sand-Key Lighthouse, with a month's supply of provisions for the keeper and assistants on board, was taken by the negroes, and in it they were able to elude their pursuers. It is thought they have gone to Nassau.
