A person who lives at 124 Chartres street, New Orleans, advertises in the ‘Bee,’ of May 31, for “the negress Patience, about 28 years old, has large hips, and is bow-legged.”  A Mr. T. CUGGY, in the same paper, thus describes “the negress Caroline.” “She has awkward feet, clumsy ankles, turns out her toes greatly in walking, and has a sore on her left shin.”

In another, of June 22, Mr. P. BAHI advertises “Maria, with a clear white complexion, and double nipple on her right breast.”

Mr. CHARLES CRAIGE, of Federal Point, New Hanover co.  North Carolina, in the Wilmington Advertiser, August 11, 1837, offers a reward for his slave Jane, and says “she is far advanced in pregnancy.”

The New Orleans Bulletin, August 18, 1838, advertises “the negress Mary, aged nineteen, has a scar on her face, walks parrot-toed, and is pregnant.”

Mr. J.G.  MUIR, of Grand Gulf, Mississippi, thus advertises a woman in the Vicksburg Register, December 5, 1838.  “Ranaway a negro girl—­has a number of black lumps on her breasts, and is in a state of pregnancy.”

Mr. JACOB BESSON, Donaldsonville, Louisiana, advertises in the New Orleans Bee, August 7, 1838, “the negro woman Victorine—­she is advanced in pregnancy.”

Mr. J.H.  LEVERICH & Co.  No. 10, Old Levee, New Orleans, advertises in the ‘Bulletin,’ January 22, 1839, as follows.

“$50 REWARD.—­Ranaway a negro girl named Caroline about 18 years of age, is far advanced in child-bearing.  The above reward will be paid for her delivery at either of the jails of the city.”

Mr. JOHN DUGGAN, thus advertises a woman in the New Orleans Bee, of Sept. 7.

Mr. FRANCIS FOSTER, of Troop co.  Georgia, advertises in the Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer of June 22, 1837—­“My negro woman Patsey, has a stoop in her walking, occasioned by a severe burn on her abdomen.”

The above are a few specimens of the gross details, in describing the persons of females, of all ages, and the marks upon all parts of their bodies; proving incontestably, that slaveholders are in the habit not only of stripping their female slaves of their clothing, and inflicting punishment upon their ‘shrinking flesh,’ but of subjecting their naked persons to the most minute and revolting inspection, and then of publishing to the world the results of their examination, as well as the scars left by their own inflictions upon them, their length, size, and exact position on the body; and all this without impairing in the least, the standing in the community of the shameless wretches who thus proclaim their own abominations.  That such things should not at all affect the standing of such persons in society, is certainly no marvel:
