STAMPEDE OF MARYLAND SLAVE.

Harrisburg, April 26, 1861

It is reported that an attack was made by Marylander on Hanover village, York county, on Tuesday last, occasioned by a great stampede of negroes. Reliable accounts say that whole families are crossing into Adams, York, and Franklin counties, in this State. A report places the total loss of slaves by Maryland, since the troubles began at five hundred. Great fears are entertained in the border counties of the departure of the entire slave population
