Since I live in TX, I found this example interesting:
DALLAS HERALD, June 12, 1861, p. 3, c. 2

Exodus from Missouri.—A company of Emigrants from Missouri, numbering nearly 90 negroes besides whites camped a few miles from Dallas on Friday and Saturday. They report a large number behind and say that thousands will move out of that State during the Summer and fall.

A gentleman traveling from the north says that the roads are lined with emigrants and that an immense number of valuable negroes are brought with them.—They are reported to be men of wealth and the best society of Missouri.
