ESCAPE OF SLAvEs.-Slaves are becoming the most uncertain property in the country. On Friday last seventeen fugitives. from masters in St. Louis, reached Chicago, and escaped into Canada. On the same day six others passed over from Cleveland. On Thursday eight more from Maysville escaped On Wednesday six more from Maysville.
 In the case of the seventeen at Chicago, as we learn from the papers, the masters pursued, ap- piled to the U. s. Marshal to aid in rescue, but a mob of saboitionists interfered and pre- vented the arrest The military was ordered out but only one company responded; whereup- on the abolition papers all raise Jubilatum over the treasonous resistance to the laws of the gov- ernment.
 Here, then, in the short space of four days, of the same week, at but two points, no less than Ai,ty-seven slaves escaped from their owners. Slave property would certainly be put down in an insurance policy as " ertra hazardous - Cin. Eaq., 1Oth
