A brother of Lewis Thomp.ton, a colored preaeher, who was murder td by the Kn-Klux in UniJII coun ty, South Carilina, some days since hats racently visited Columbia, and the Union of that city says: "From him we learn that the bo(ly of T'honipont was washed haithe in Tiger river a few day ago. The hily I, rcc inilnerotit; ::tahs, and usl) 1,o" ltarsl where the horses had ron o'vr hoe. and marks and bruises where ac ond been dragged along the road. The body also ;howre'l other mutilations not hefit ting to speak of here, but befittsag tutid chitracteristie of some of the worst Indian practices. On the night when the masked tUFin toolk Thontpls+in lie had been preaching to quite an aseemblageof colored people, so 're of whom had not retired. Thompson heard the parties coming, and got up from the bed and went into the loft, from where the parties took him. When ho desired to put on his clothes, they told him he would 'have no further use for them, and carried him away in his under-clothing. Wim. Tucker, another colored man, and Thompson's family were in the house at the immediate time of the outrage, but were not molested. Thompson wan formerly known as Lewis Rice, having been raised by a family in Union by the name of Rice. Our informant state that he always bore a good character, never held or ran for any office, and the otily cause of his murder was that lie was known to be an influ ential Republican. He was a mem ber of the Zion Methodist Church, and was respected by the bishop, elders and congregation. No one has been arrested for the murdcr. Ho waq a son of Wagner Dennis Rice." The foregoing was published in the Columbia Union of Friday morning last. In the issue for Saturday we read. "From a source which is considered perfectly relia ble, we learn that the body of Lewis Thompson still lay yesterday in the sun on the bank~s of the Tiger river,, where it was found, and our infor mant further states thatt the coroner of the county has not visited the body for the purpose of holding an inqucet." Wer'Zy FPlo. DRY UP I We have the authority of our lively friend Pepper Grass for the truth of the following: When Horace Greeley heard that Jeff. Davis had burst the,)onds od silence, and was making the South ring with echoes to his mournful spoechtes, the hihilosophier of the Tribune sent him the following telegram: "Jeff! Why don't you dryip ? Didau'L I Ladl yoas wt4 lhorouidy 7" THE Mmg 31L1i PAPUER f THs in FOouDLr . Dogs sre one ov the luxurys ov clvihisashun. In unciiilized life they perhaps are more one ov the neceesitys, as they quite often are cooked, and eaten whole. Among the civilized, if they ever do git onto a bill ov fare, (ov which i hay mi own private doubts,) they are more artiaktly handled,, and enter into hash, or sassage, n'o as the leading artikle, but more.tew kreate a good average. But i am not now disposed to treat ov dogs az vittles, but as the companym ov man, hiz pet, and hiz paItn1er. The nu fonundland dog is a natiff ov thei place whare the noble kod fish iz kaught. lie Mont liv in the water, like the kodfish, but unlike the kodfisn, live on the land. Hiz principal amuzemant iz sav ing life, and i am told that there iz hardly a wan, or-a woman, in all lNu foundland, but what has had their lives saved several times by they wonderful dogs. They are taken from Nu found land to various parts ov the world, and ara kept for the purpose ov dragging the drowning from a watery grave. Y t will find them in mountaneous counttys, wham thare aint onny water, but little brooks. Here they dent hay match to do, in their line ov biizoeas, and git verry fatt. But am tolt, that even here, they dout forget their natur, and kan often be seen looking down in to the wells, after drowning men. This shows the grate power ov instinkt, and the force ov bizznees habits, alwus looking for a job. I never hay had mi life saved by one of these noble kritters, but am redly tew hay it done, at enny time, at the usual rates. Life is sweet, and it is cheaper tew hay it saved by a dog than bi a dokter. But these dogs are all hydropaths, and thare iz sum pholk. so kussid sentimental that they had rather die than be doktered bi ennything else than an old &ool allopath. I am just phool enuft, if I was in the pond, just at the pint of deth on ackount ov too match water, and thare wax a Nu foundlpnd dog standing on the shore out ov a job, I hoaold let him handle the case, rather than send four miles for a regular dokter. I may be all wrong in this, but if the dog hauled me out all right, I should hav time tow repent ov mi blunder, and next time send for a physician with a diploma. It iz never too late tow repent ov a blunder, not if you hav got plenty ov time on hand that you don't kno what to do with. I never hay owned a Nufoundland dog, but just az soon as Igit able tew board one, without skrimping wi family, I mean to buy one, or borro one, just for his bord. I don't kno ev ennything more magnificent than tow hay a grate illustrious Nufoundland dog tew follow yu in a mountaineous country. I liv at Pordunk (the home ov the Billings family) and Pordunk ix not a wet place. Thare ix sum good wells thare, and two grocerys, but the water privileges at Pordunk are used only ax a beverage. * Thare ix only one Nufoundland dog now at Pordunk, and i think the town would support two. I don't suppose i should hay work euff tow keep one or thase nobel animals bizzy hauling drown ing men out of wells, but in the springor the year, after the gardens wax made, i could lend him out tow the nabors tbw run in the gardens. I don't know ov euny thing better tow keep the angleworms, and early lettiss, and beets out ov a garden thou a full-grown Nufoundland pup. It ix nothing but phun tew giv them a half-skin boot, and turn them out into a au-made garden, and see theinkiok up their heels, stir up the garde., and jerk the boot. SI am almoute krazy tew hay a Kufoundiand dog. LAWS -OF TIHE STATE OF LOUISIANA. (PUBLISHED BY AUTHORITY] No. 99. An Act To incorporate the town of Brashear, In the parish of S.
