It is hardly necessary to say, that the GENERAL R.Y.  HAYNE, and H.L.  PINCKNEY, Esq. named in the advertisement, are Ex-Governor Hayne, formerly U.S.  Senator from South Carolina, and Hon. Henry L. Pinckney, late member of Congress from Charleston District, and now Intendant (mayor) of that city.

It is no difficult matter to get at the ‘public opinion’ of a community, when ladies ‘of property and standing’ publish, under their own names, such advertisements as the following.

Mrs. ELIZABETH L. CARTER, of Groveton, Prince William county, Virginia, thus advertises her negro man Moses: 

“Ranaway from the subscriber, a negro man named Moses, aged about 40 years, about six feet high, well made, and possessing a good address, and HAS LOST A PART ON ONE OF HIS EARS.”

Mrs. B. NEWMAN, of the same place, and in the same paper, advertises—­

“Penny, the wife of Moses, aged about 30 years, brown complexion, tall and likely, no particular marks of person recollected.”

Both of the above advertisements appear in the National Intelligencer, (Washington city,) June 10, 1837.

In the Mobile Mercantile Advertiser, of Feb. 13, 1838, is an advertisement Signed SARAH WALSH, of which the following is an extract: 

“Twenty-five dollars reward will be paid to any one who may apprehend and deliver to me, or confine in any jail, so that, I can get him, my man Isaac, who ranaway sometime in September last.  He is 26 years of age, 5 feet 10 inches high, has a scar on his forehead, caused by a blow, and one on his back, MADE BY A SHOT FROM A PISTOL.”

In the “New Orleans Bee,” Dec. 21, 1838, Mrs. BURVANT, whose residence is at the corner of Chartres and Toulouse streets, advertises a woman as follows: 

“Ranaway, a negro woman named Rachel—­has lost all her toes except the large one.”

From the “Huntsville (Ala.) Democrat,” June 16, 1838: 

“TEN DOLLARS REWARD.—­Ranaway from the subscriber, a negro woman named Sally, about 21 years of age, taking along her two children—­one three years, and the other seven months old.  These negroes were PURCHASED BY ME at the sale of George Mason’s negroes, on the first Monday in May, and left a few days thereafter.  Any person delivering them to the jailor in Huntsville, or to me, at my plantation, five miles above Triana, on the Tennessee river, shall receive the above reward.  CHARITY COOPER”

From the “Mississippian,” May 13, 1838: 

“TEN DOLLARS REWARD.—­Ranaway from the subscriber, a man named Aaron, yellow complexion, blue eyes, &c.  I have no doubt he is lurking about Jackson and its vicinity, probably harbored by some of the negroes sold as the property of my late husband, Harry Long, deceased.  Some of them are about Richland, in Madison co.  I will give the above reward when brought to me, about six miles north-west of Jackson, or put IN JAIL, so that I can get him.  LUCY LONG.”
