My letter to s. will explain all to you.
Tonight, or tomorrow, l, with the remain

county Jail, and treated as criminals awaiting

"Little Lady" are to me.

stampede OF slaves ON the Eastern
ef - Shore.

An almost general stampede of slaves on
the Eastern Shore is said to'have taken place
in consequence of the enemy's invasion into
Accomac and Northampton. 1t is estimated
that there are about ten thousand slaves in
those two counties, outnumbering as they do
the whites in Northampton; aud this large
amount of property is, of course, at the entire
mercy of the enemy. The slaves are escap-
ing from their masters with the permission
and connivance Of the enemy, who have
made no attempt whatever to arrest or check
their exodus to Delaware and other portions
