Milwaukee (WI) Daily Sentinel, "Midnight Dispatches," April 27, 1861

HARRISBURG, April 26.

It is reported that an attack was made by the Marylanders, on Hanover Village, York county, on Tuesday, occasioned by a great stampede among the negroes. Reliable accounts say that whole families are crossing into this State.

The report places the total loss of slaves by Maryland, since the war troubles began, at five hundred.

Great fears are entertained in the border counties of Maryland, of the departure of the entire slave population.
