            We infer that something of a panic exists south of us.  Droves of negroes, mules &c., have been pressing through our village, northward and eastward bound, for some days.  The stampede seems to have frightened many of our own citizens, and we hear of a number who have already started for distant parts with their slave property and every thing else they could carry.  Georgia and East Mississippi appears to be favorite regions at present.–Raymond Gazette, 6^th.
