Boston (MA) Liberator, January 10, 1862

   The Richmond Examiner says:  "An almost general stampede of slaves on the eastern shore is said to have taken place, in consequence of the enemy's invasion into Accomac and Northampton. It is estimated that there are about ten thousand slaves in those counties––out-numbering, as they do, the whites in Northampton––and this large amount of property is, of course, at the entire mercy of the enemy."
