Transcript
On Saturday night, a serious stampede of slaves occurred in Richmond, Va. Five likely and valuable slaves made off to parts unknown, one of them taking 1,500 of his master's money with him. The Richmond Dispatch says it is very evident, from the number of slaves that have escaped within a short time past, that they have the assistance of abolition emissaries.
