STAMPEDE OF SLAVES AND A BATTLE
Ten slaves, three women, two children
and FIVE men. ran away fiom Pruyntown,
Va, few nights ago, taking with then
seven other chattels in the shape of horses
They left the horses after the nights ride,
and steered for the North Star ON foot
They were followed and overtaken in Fay
cite county, Pa, where desperate
fight for freed, Ion the part Of the ne
groes, and slavery on the part Of the
whites, took place. The slave catchers
were beaten badly, and the fugitivas from
slavery made their escape. Col. Arm
strong, one of the owners, in attempting
to capture one of the slaves, was resisted
with a corn ccaver and would have been
killed but for the interference of one Of
his own servants, who stepped in to pro
-tect his master. Another Of the pursuing
party was fereely resisted, and badly inju
red in the melee. The Wheeling Intelligen-
erstates that on the return of the discom
fitted slave hunters, a party Of about TWEEN
ty-five persons from Morgantown started
in pursuit of the negroes, but nothing adj
ditionaI had been heard at last accounts
from either the pursuing or the pur
sued.
