'Jacob Thompson, the gentle manly commander ot Company 13, is a coal black negro ot huge proportions. Ills manly form was. clad la a dark blue military nu I, somewhat resell' Glmg In cut the dress of an Alpine hunter. The coat was trimmed with red slashing, and on the C a pt ain ' s shoulders gleametra pair ot the shiniest epaulettes Ile was übiquitous. Ile gallantly aided ebony belles to sur mount the steep staircase, and also fluted about the refreshment table, and superintended the proper arrangement ot the choice viands.

Ile was unsuited in thin delicate duty by the lieutenants of his command. "I The lieutenants are not so hand I sonic as their captain. They ha've not been so long in society, neither have they travelled so extensively an be. They did well, however. Like the captain, they were attired in the height of military fashion, and were great favorites anti the colored ladies on the floor Ity It) o'clocl, the ball room was crowded with the youth and beauty of Columbut's colored society. 'lliere wan also a fair sprinkling of whites,but not ermligh I() mar the „ pleasure of the company, Several unpleasant little incidents occurred, resulting from the persistent efforts of certain of the whites to monopolize the society of the young colored ladies; but I am pleased to say everything passed off as quietly as at ally Seventh Regiment ball I ever at leaded. the ‘t ry flr•t SEVERAL WHITE LEDIES WERE PRESENT, and evinced by their actions a full de termination to break down the social barriers which have so long existed between the two races. The colored ladies present did not in every instance respond as cheerfully and cordially to these well meant eflorts as they might have done, hut this might perhaps he attributed to the fact that the white ladies were comparatively Fitrang,ers, and they may hair hail 140111 e hemitan cy ftbmil IP+-o/Plltliiig with them until proofs their high social standing at home were furnished. The music was tine, the dancing was kept up contin tionsly, and all enjoyed themselves hugely. I= Of course where so many were pres ent it was impossible to get the names of all. The more prominent of the guests, however, I knew, and hence I was not at aloes for information. The highest civil functionary present was hie Honor the Mayor of Columbia. Next to him were the Board of Alder man of the city and the Hon. Wt. J. Etter, the City Clerk. Mayor %l ate ie a white gentleman, and danced very frequently. He was not accompanied by ladies, but found no scarcity of partners on the floor, as the young colored ladle+ esteemed it an especial honor to dance with, his Honor the Mayor. The Mayor seethed partiallo the wake, and the detirady liith which lie citteped'his mother in that enchant ing dance Was the rotdroiration of all present. The Mayor is a very' grace -101 dancer .

When dancing, the Senator invariably selected the Lancers, Its that figure requires less skill and exertion than any other. lie danced frequently with THE REAL TIFUL MISSES ROLLING who were present, and who were, of course, the belles of the evening. The Misses Rollin were accompanied by the white Senator, Mclntyre, of Colle ton, who is the . fiance of Miss Char lotte Corday Rolltn. The Senator, who is a very small nuui, t With attired in a full evening dregs of black, and in his hutt.on bole bloomed it rosebud which been plucked by Miss I,ot tie. The Senator was decidedly the most graceful dancer on the floor, and son unbounded admiration by the skill with which he executed some of the most difficult pas snag'. The Miss es Rollin of course attracted more at tention than ally other ladies in the room. Being the lenders of the color ed ton, and the moulders of fashion among the Mile of the city, this is not at all singular. They were dressed roost elegantly. Miss Lottie Rollin, who is engaged to lie married to the white Senator Mclntyre, of Colleton, wore a pearl colored moire antique, with long train, the dress cult decollete, and trimmed elaborately with point (I . Ale:iron, of great depth liver the skirt was it white tulle plll,l, looped find festooned with and mange blossoms Miss Lome preset' fed a very beautiful appearance She danced very frequently with her be frothed. She is easy and graceful on the fluor, and excited the highest ad iniration as she floated about clasped in the arm of Senator Mclntyre. Miss Kate Rollin was attired in a beat y cordial black silk, uith sweep mg trait It was trimmed with rich lace Ind on in deep lulls, and beaded jet braid She wore a red rose in her hair, and was entirely free from She is al-o a beautiful dun i•er, 111/41 was on the floor 111,110 St con scantly. Miss Louisa was arrayed iii a crim son satin, trimmed with heavy folds of the same material. She also wore a light giiii7y oierskirt dotted with red roses Iler dress MIS clip low, display ing her neck and shoulders, which were beautiful Miss Louisa was the most admired of either of the young lathes and receited many attentions from the colored officers, who vied with each other for the honor of her hand in the different sets. Sh e d ance d constantly anti looked exceedingly at tractive Senator Mclntire danced with :Miss Louisa several times, and the two, when on the floor together, were the cynosure of all eyes. tlti\t, TIM WHITE 1.11 , 11F.44RE5ENT, and one that attracted much attention fur her beauty anti elegance of attire, was Mrs Coviesart, the wife of a Northern man, a merchant in this city Mrs. Covieeart presented a love ly appearance. She was dressed in plain vf tote, with flowers and nu jewel • ry. She is also a beautifull dancer,and attracted much attention in the Var. sov !cone, in which she haul as a partner .\lderman Minort, who is ( l ordly graceful 111 tliat beautiful dance. The alderman is a colored man, but la very floe looking and elegant in his man tiers. Ile clasped his fair partner as firmly as an iron band clasps a cotton hale and undulated softly to the music like a ground swell on the beach. Wearied at last of looking at the dancers, of it hlcli there were so ninny on the floor, I took a sent in the corn er and watched those who rattle in at a late hour, as well as the many who, for lack of room, were obliged to re tram from whirling Tii the dance. Iff course aie colored element predoininat ed There were Judges, Justices, law yers, members of both Rouses of the Legislature in large numbers, employ tics iri the Executive department, and, in short, representatisee from almost every respectable walk in life. All were dressed with neatness, but with few exceptions no diamonds were worn. This I regarded as rather singular, for it seems elsewhere to be the inher ent right of politicians to wear precious Jewels. A well known Jeweler explain ed it by the statement that the African mind does not aspire to expensive jew elry. Your African legislator wants something very large and showy, but not expensive. lie cannot see the use of putting all his money into one pin or a ring, when by judiciously expend ing it he can secure a dozen different kinds and shapes. Black suits were principally worn by the civilians, but of course the military appeared in their uniforms. I= Toward midnight, ac I was situng looking at the briliant array, an onus al buzz and sensation in the room at tracted my attention. I looked in the direction indicated by the Stir, and soon found the object of it. A new comer had just entered the room, and all eyes were upon him. Ile was dress ed iti light pants, a little too short for his legs, a steel pen coat of blue cloth, resplendent with brace buttons, a Mid' colored Jest, and dancing pumps. Ills hair Was abundantly oiled, and wee neatly corned and rubbed. His coun tenance wore a calm, placid smile. This was the Hon, Joseph Crews, • th e great poker player, and the exiled representative from Laurens county. tide Joseph, aa he is familiarly call :eti, had arrived at the ball a little late, 'but he explained it loud by saying that it took him a longer time to make his toilet than, he supposed it would.

He is very (06.1 of Varsovienne, Uncle Josep' is. He says its gentle undula ting motion is graceful. Uncle seph does not always like the Virginia reel. Ile says it reminds him too for cibly of his younger days, when he used to dance around the auction block, in search of the likeliest and most sale able young "niggers." (Uncle Joseph still speaks of negroes as 'niggers.' lie says that is one of his early habits that he cannot break.) Uncle Joseph never likes to do anything that will remind him of his early days and the sinful pursuits he was then engaged in. Uncle Joseph feels proud that he tins relormed, and that the curse of slave ry is removed from the land. Ile sa)s he now sometimes feels that lie would like to become a Christian, but hardly knows how to, begin. A CARPET BAGGER AT THE BALI Uncle .Joseph had•hardly glided ofT , before a thin, cadeverous-looking man, with very red hair and craggy red whis kers on hie chin, matioappearance in the ball room. lie was dressed rather shabbily, and, looked hungry.

The entertainment was very tine indeed Champagne cider flowed 'lke water, and the Viands were the very IK..t Hurl l'harleston and ('olum• Ina could afford. Toward the close of th e hall an unpleasant scene occurred in the supper room, which did much to mar the enjoyment and shock the sensitive feelings of the highly respect. able young colored ladies present. It :veins that at about 12 o'clock Major Samuel Dickson, of the Mouth Carolina National Guards, who, as I should have mentioned before, was at the hall in his gorgeous uniform, went into the supper room for the purpose of getting something to eat. The Ma jor had danced nearly all the evening, and felt quite hungry. He looked over the table and saw itGibing The table ,had been stripped quite bare. The Mtijor was about turning away when he saw a napkin lying on the cloth. The major lifted the napkin and was rejoiced to find :hat it covered a plate upon which lay 6= The Major's eye glistened as it fell upon the price, and he at once appro priated it and retired to a corner to eat it. 'flee major had taken but two or three bites when Senator Mclntyre entered the room, having upon his arm the young and beautiful Miss ',oldie Rollin, to whom lie is engaged to be married. They advanced to the table. The Senator looked around somewhat puzzled. Ile raised nearly every nap kin on the table, and seemed much chagrined lie finally returned to Mans Rollin, and whispered in a low tone. 'My dear, I bad it and saved for you. I had put it on a plate, and covered it up with a napkin. I wonder who could have taken it?' Just then the senator spotted the Major in the corner, eating a pig's foot. Ile looked at the major %ery hard The Major showed no concern whatever. Ile quietly munched away I=El the Senator approached and said 'Major did on g.•i ihat ['Mtn under a napkin on the 'aide The Major —I did, Kali, (bowing very profoundly ) The Senator-- NVell, I had placed it there for a young lady.

And with this the military chieftain drew himself up with grand dignity and stalked out of the room, his sabre (Jangling and clanking at his heels in a manner 'that made several young colored ladies who witnessed hie exit.• ment:trenible with feir. The conversation tietwen t the Senator and the Major was carried on in a very excited manner• and it 'created a great sensation. The friends of the Senator were apprehensive at first that the Major might send him a challenge, but their fears have not been realized.

The Chicago Tribune has the follow ing from Rochelle, 11l : On the eveilf ing of the tenth day of July, 1870, I was struck by lightning under the fol lowing circumstances : lam a farmer, and had gone to the pasture, three fourths of a mile prom the house, on horseback to drive home HOMO cows. A heavy shower had just fallen, ac• companied by much lightning and loud thunder, and a little rain was still falling—we would say it was 'sprink ling.' While riding through the field I discovered a small cluster of cockle burrs a noxious weed that infests many farms in this section of the country. The cattle were feeding near me. I dismounted and held the horse with one hand, and proceeded to pull up the burrs wittt the other. While stooping to pull the last one, my hand grasped close to the root, the horke standing vco.ll his head partly over my stoop' ng - Udy, - A FLASH OF LIGHT:4INC struck the horse, entering his head in and behind Lis left ear. tearing two holes in the skin behind the ear and though lie was wet with the rain, the hair was eingell-frmh bus head, neck nn I shoulders, and one front leg to the ground ; he, of course, Was inciantiv killed. A smallirortion of the electric fluid struck me on the right temple, singing the lashec of the right eye, and slightly burning or scalding the face, rendering me unconscious for a little time The following were the SCIVOI ti one and phenomena as I observed and reineinher them. First, I felt my sellenveloped in a sheet of perfectly white light, RCOOMpliMeti by a senile of suffocation by heat. The light COlll,l tie seen as well through the back of the bead as with the eyes, and appear ed to extend several feet on all sides of me, then I experienced a cerise of dan ger, and Iron! to escape injury Irom my horse. Then followed A TIt01111,E1) lIRE FYI iiNhich I was hauling a load of hay in company with another person, aud in spite of all the effort I could make to avoid it, the load of hay was about to fall on rite. When in the dream I made a last desperate effort to spring from under the hay, I found niymell standing on lily feet. The first thing I observed wits that the cattle, in fright, were running from me, ar.d next, that I stood in front of the pros trate horse. Instantly I comprehend ed the situation, and listened to hear the thunder that should have accom• panted the lightning, but no thunder could be heacel. I felt no pain and no sensation, except a mental exultation, which lasted but a few seconds. At first I thought the lightning had struck near me, and hail slightly stunned the horse and myseli Then I observed the water on en ery hair and the most lire in tire eyes, nostrils and mouth of the horse to be boiling, having the ap pearance and making a noise like fine drops of water on a hot iron, a hich continued for several becond«. This was a phenomenon I never have heard of, peohal,l) because a pe rson near enough to see rr is most alaays render. ell 1111e0118e1011H (00 long to make the observation. Judging front the dis lance the cattle hail run, I was uncoil scions lessilian six seconds. Finding that the horse did not breathe, I proceeded to pull off the saddle and bridle, and then I felt a ee vere pain in my head, which continued for several Lours, followed by soreness which seemed to be in the substance of the brain, with an inclination to in flammation, but at the end of a week no effects of the lightning were felt.
