HORRORS OF SLAVEHUNTING.—We learn from persons
who received their information from citizens of New Pe-
tersburg, situated in Ilihborough County, that on
Friday and Saturday last a party of men, three of whom
were Kentuckians from Mason and Fleming Counties,
and two Ohioans, passed through that village in
pursuit of three slaves, the property of one of the
party, named Pierce, and another owner. It seems
they had information which led them to believe
that the slaves were on the route through
New Petersburg to Greenfield, but they had not
yet crossed Rattlesnake Creek, which runs about a mile
east of Petersburg. From Petersburg there are two
roads leading to Greenfield, one of which crosses
the creek over a bridge, and the other by a ford
about half a mile further up. Three of the pur-
suing party stationed themselves at the bridge,
and two at the ford, and waited the coming of the
slaves. The party at the bridge had not waited
long, when the slaves, two men and a woman,
made their appearance, escorted by a white man
and boy, as guides. As soon as they were fairly
within the bridge, which is a covered one, the Ken-
tuckians sprang upon them and a desperate fight ensued.
The negroes, it is said, were armed with guns, pistols,
and knives, and defended themselves bravely. The
particulars of the affray, however, are not yet definitely
known, but the result was that one of the negroes was
captured, after being severely wounded, and the other
two, with their white companions, made good their es-
cape. Pierce, the owner, it is said, of the captured irro,
was severely hurt, having been nearly choked the
struggle to secure him. The desperate nature of
affray may be judged from the fact that the broken
breeches of a gun and pistol were found on the spot, and
the ground was covered with blood. As soon as it was
over the Kentuckians lost no time in leaving for home,
taking their captive with them.—Nete York Tribune.
