A SLAVE STAMPEDE.-- We understand that fourteen negroes, males and females, belonging to Mr. Pendleton, of Hagerstown, and hired out at different places in the country, ran away, to Pennsylvania a few weeks ago. A reward of four hundred dollars was offered for their apprehension, and they were subsequently captured near Harrisburg.
