Transcript

A Stampede.-- Between one hundred and fifty and two hundred negro slaves, belonging to Indians of the Seminole and Creek Nations, have eloped from their masters and are on their way to Mexico, and will no doubt endeavor to follow the route taken by Wild Cat, the Seminole chief, last summer, who conducted about 60 runaway slaves from this nation across the Rio Grande, somewhere near Presido de Rio Grande. Fifty dollars per head is offered as a reward for their arrest.
