   Another Slave Stampede at Baltimore.-- Seven runaway slaves were re-captured by a party from Baltimore, on Thursday, at a place a mile across the Pennsylvania line. As they were returning with them through Sprattsburgh, some abolitionists made a rush at them, and rescued two of the slaves. After a smart contest in which one of the slaves wounded himself in attempting to shoot his captor, the five were brought to Baltimore in irons.
