   A Slave Stampede.––We learn that on Tuesday night a stampede took place among the slaves in Baltimore county, twelve having gone without leave from two gentlemen of the county. They seem to have acted in concert, and are probably before this time on Pennsylvania "free soil." Six of them, we understood, were the property of the Hon. J.T. H. Worthington.
