CAPTURE OF ELEVEN RUNAWAY NEGRO,

(From the St. Joseph (Mss.) Gazette.)
During the past week we heard, through a gentlenia_uf
living near this city, the following interesting accotuitt_il,
the capture of 11 runaways :--About a fortnight 5.076.
a gentleman stayed at oar informant's house on hie
the
a
turn from lowa, whither he had been in pursuit of
.r
fugitives above alluded to. The negroes made thesli
escape from Clay, Jackson and Platte counties, see'
!
mouths since, and have eluded all p speak 11`
ursuit until the 188 u
three weeks. The gentleman of whom we spe ..e
believe lives in Clay or Platte, and owns five of ~„
negroes. He relates that he first heard of them at
near Topeka, Kansas, some time since, whither be "11l
to capture them. The people of that famous. burg
-
ceeded in defeating his efforts to get his property? 70
then applied to the authorities for a force eufficieut
effect his purpose. When this was ascertained the !flet;
gross were secreted and assisted to again escape. 13'
then hired a free negro of Jackson county to pursue
them. This fellow being shrewd and having some know
ledge of the character of an abolitionist, went to Topeka
and represented himself as a fugitive. This he kneW
to be the key to the hearts of this philanthropic
race of negro-lovers. A horse was furnished him and
information given where he might join the party he win
in quest of. The master, after receiving this information,
again made pursuit, and overtook his negroes, in oar
pan] with six others, about two weeks since, in 'owes
at a bend of the Missouri river, near Nebraska city. To
company with tbree other gentlemen, he proceeded 14
once to capture them, as they had determined upon re
,istance. The leader of the negroes fired three times
without effect, when he was shot down. The other
oegroes were summoned to give up their arms, 1011
they threw down 30 odd revolvers and surrendered
themselves. The negro who did the shooting is these°
who killed Myers, at Brownville, under similar 60003;
stances, some six months since. It was not °1 ascertaill:
whether he was fatally wounded or not. The Wh.,,
party of negroes, we understand, passed through o_l :
city under convoy of their captors-about two week' ilgu
