day night, at a quarter-past o'clock, at the

able to speak and clear up the mystery attend
ing the affair. A jury of inquest was 1mpan-
elled by Coroner Mackey next morning for the
investigation Of the case. Grant had been
living on the plantation of Mr.. John B. Bee,
on Goosecreek, which place he left on the 10Th

arrived safely, landed at GadSden's wharf,
sold his wood, and started on his return home

Washington. The finding of his body next
morning on the beach has been already de-
scribed. What occurred in the interval Of
their leaving tie Spanish vessel and the find
ing OF the body has not been explained, and

raj witnesses from James Island, the further

DEATH OF THE REV. T. WILLARD LEWIS
This gentleman died on Saturday last, on Sui
livan's Island, where he had been temporarily
sojourning, and was buried yesterday. His re-
mains, which had been brought over from The
island in small boat, were met at Moreland's
wharf and escorted to The Centenary Church in
Wentworth street, where the funeral took
place. The services were conducted by the
Rev. W. Weston and were attended BY an i'm
mense crowd. The church was heavily draped
in mourning, and much feeling was manifested
by the congregation as the impressive cere-
mony proceeded. At the conclusion the re-
mains were escorted up to the Magnolia Gene
terry and there Inferred in lot bought for the
purpose by the congregation of his church.
The procession was one Of the largest ever
seen in the city, and the immense numbers
who followed the remains 10 the cemetery, to-
gether with the numerous vehicles of all de-
scriptions. showed in what high esteem the
deceased was held among the colored portion
OF our community.
Mr.. Lewis was q minister OF the Methodist
EpiscoI al Church (North,) native of Massa.
chusetts, and member of the New England
Conference. He had been here ever since the
war, laboring among the colored people. In
politics he was an extreme Republican, and
came TO the South fully imbued with all the
preudices of an original Abolitlonist; and, to
do him Justice, he retained most of these pref
udices to the day OF his death. From the very
nature of his position, he was thrown into an.
tagonism with existing ecclesiastical organiza.
tions here, and it was chiefly owing to this
that be formed but few social ties during his
six or seven years residence in South Caro-
lima. Those who knew him best, how
ever. speak of him in terms of the nigh
eat pralse-beleving him to have oeen
a true man, pious Christian, and a
jealous minister of the Gospel. he enjoyed
