Description

An Exodus. - - We learn that there was quite an exodus of slaves from this city (St. Joseph, Missouri) to Kansas, Sunday. Major Barrow lost two, E. C. Patee two, and another gentlemen three. How is it that slaves are ferried across the Missouri, contrary to our stringent statute against such proceedings?
