Wilmington (NC) Journal, "The Insurrection," November 4, 1859

   A coincidence––though possible having no connection with this plot––was the stampede of 30 slaves from Alexandria and Fairfax counties, Va., on Saturday night. It might have been that they were a part of  Brown’s expected reinforcements. Some of them belonged to the estate of the late Commodore Thomas P Catesby Jones, and some to Rev. Mr. Lippett.
