STAMPEDE.--A mulato woman belong
ing to the Hon. G. ]. Faulkner, and five
Of her children, three boys and two girls,
ran off on Thursday night last. Circum-
stances lead TO The belief that their escape
was planned and carried out by Ohio Or
Pennsylvania abolitionsts. With these
slaves, Mr.. Faulkner's loss within the
last eighteen months, must exceed ten
thousand dollars. Such outrages, if con-
tinued, will vet result in the hanging with
outjudge or jury, of some Of the abolition
emissares who are becoming 4 pest to
Virginia. Isaac Piper, a slave of Mr..
Faulkner, has been arrested and commit
ted to Jail, upon the charge of aiding and
abetting in their escape.--Nartinsburg

TORNADO IN GEoRGlA.-A letter in the
! \. Y Evening Post, dated Cedar Town,
MAY 2lst, says On the evening OF the
18Th, a severe storm Of wind, rain and hail
swept the central portion of our country,
from northwest 10 southeast, doing i'm
meuse injury to the plantations over which
| it passed. Wheat crops in particular, now
too far advanced TO recover, have been
almost entirely ruined, at a time when
on account of the scarcity of grain, they
were held in more than ordinary estlma-
ZION. Forests have been benuded Of their
foliage, fowls in abundance destroyed, and
millions of noisy Iocusts forever sllenced.
Reliable persons residing in the track of
The storm say that hail covered the ground
to the depth Of foot, and that there were
drifts Of hail three feet deep in some
places. The damage done TO some fields
by washing has been esllmaled-probably
with shade Of extravagance-as equal
to tie ordinary washing ot q century. Sew
eral of the families most serlOus y affected
by this storm were also principal sufferers
by the terrible tornado which visited our
country Oh the 18th of March last.
