Buffalo Stampede.

A correspondent of the ,Nsbraskian, printed at
Omaha City, on the Missouri, opposite TO Coun-
Gil Bluffs, writes that exploring party to which
he was attached saw immense numbers Of buffalo
between Ash Hollow and Loupe Fork. The
valley and hills were black with them. On the
night of the 22d June, having encamped on the
bank of creek in narrow valley, about IL
o'clock they were alarmed by the approach Of an
immense herd Of buffalo, causing the earth to
tremble beneath their tread, as they came dash
ing down the valley at full speed. The camp
CHANGED to be directly in the path through which
this army of shaggy quadrupeds were making
their rapid march, and It was with extreme diff
culty-by the discharging Of rifles and revolvers
in quick SUGGESTIONS, that travellers succeeded
in turning them from their direct course, thus
saving their own lives and the lives of their
horses They succeeded in shooting several as
they passed, among which was fine fat yearling,
some choice outlets Of which served them as food
on their journey.
Some idea may be formed Of the number Of
buffalo in this vast heard, from the fact that
though running at full speed they were at least
an hour in passing the camp

ANOTHER RESCUE OF A SLAVE IN
PHILADELPHIA.

A correspondent Of the Baltimore Sun, writing
from Philadelphia under date of the oath, says:
"Another slave rescue occurred in this city yes
terday. Ii appears that recently young Cuban
the son of wealthy planter in the gem of the
Antilles, was arrested by order of his govern
ment, upon the charge Of sending an order to
Springfield, Mass. for 500 muskets. The young
man was imprisoned in strong castle, but through
the connivance Of some officials, and the aid Of
his father, he escaped. lie was placed in cask,
which was closed, and thus rolled to the sea-
shore. Here the brig General Taylor, from Car
denas for this port, was, by previous arrangement,
moored for his reception. The young Cuban was
taken on board, with negro servant aged eigh-
teen years, given him by his father. The brig
sailed, and on Saturday reached this port, and
was moored at the South street wharf. The
young Cuban took lodgings at one of our princi-
pal hotels. Yesterday morning the Captain of
the General Taylor took the negro to convey him
to his master, who wanted him for body servant.
On the wharf a party Of negroes met the Captain
and the slave, and told the latter that he free.
But the Cuban slave did not understand them.
Several white men came up to the aid of the Cap
tain, and a scuffle ensued Finally the negroes
triumphed and carried away their Cuban friend
since which he has not been heard from"
