Slavery Passing Away in Mis-
souri, and Kentucky,

The St. Joseph ono Herald contains
the following: Captain Wood sheriff
of Platte county, was in the city few
days since, and from him we learned
something of the negro stampede now
going on in the lower counties. During
the last two months the darkius have
been leaving Platte county at the rate
Of about thirty or forty per day. BY
he census of 1860 Platte county had "a
slave population of three thousand three
hundred and thirteen, and our informant
thinks that there are but two or three
hundred left. From all portions of
North Missouri we have like information.
The slaves are leaving by day and by
night. Few owners re.end to stay the
exodus. Many pack up their " duds +"
and walk boldly off in broad day, while
others quie ly retire in the night
Should the fight continue at the present
rate, by the time 1866 rolls around, the
slaves of the State will scarcely be- worth
counting"
Upon this the Nashville Union re-
marks:
"The same thing is going on, in a
much less degree, in Ken lucky. The
slaves as n,ass are determined to be
free; they have caught the spirit of
freedom and they will not remain in
bondage. Nothing but the establish
ment of astrong military police, a stand-
ing army for the shareholders, will suf-
fee, hencefcrward, to check the abscond-
ing of negroes, The Fugitive Slave law
is dead, and will no longer return a
bondman. Let Tennesseeans recognize
these fac S and adapt themselves 20 he
i.nPera i've demands Of the lines. Our
peace ard prosperity depend upon the
speedy removal of slavery from our
midst.v

Like silver CLEANS the tranquil sea,
And every breeze from heaven above

Then haste, oh haste, my hope, my pride,
And let he claim my promised bride
