A most interesting ceremony took place
this morning At IL o'clock, the N D., was
escorted by the G. Division, of South Caro-
lima, several subordinates, and a company Of
Cadets, from the Military Institute, at this
place to the South Carolina Institute. The
building is an immense one capable of seat
ing $500 persons and was nearly filled. The
services opened with prayer, by the Chap
lain, of the Grand Division Of South Caro-,
LIMA; b. d. Townsend, G. w. p. of South
Carolina, then arose, aud in a neat and com
plimentary speech, welcomed the members
of the National Division, to the Palmetto
State. NJ w. p. Tilley, responded, in one of
the happiest half hour speeches have ever
heard. After music from the band, the Hon.
John Bolton O'Neal, P. M w. p, presented
the N. D. beautiful Banner, present
to from the G. d. of South Carolina. Judge
N'Neal, spoke eloquently and forcibly, and
was replied to, by Sam1 F. Cary, Of Ohio,
who as the organ of the n. D., accepted the
Banner.
The Banner is very beautiful. 1t is
made of blue silk the borders trimmed with
gold lace, and fringe, and otherwise, ele
gantly and tastefully decorated. Nothing
could be more appropriate than the device.
On the one side is these words: Presented
by the G.. d. of South Carolina, to the Ma
topal Division of Sons of Temperance
Around this inscription is wreathe, on
which appear Roses, Olives, Shamrock,
Thistle, Oak, Pine, Sheaf of Wheat and
the Cotton plant; designed to symbolize, the
countries in which the order has been estab
lished-i g. England, Spain, France, Ireland,
Wales, Scotland, the British Provinces OF
North America, the Northern, Middle and
Southern States of this Confederacy On
the reserve, there is an Eagle with spread
wings, bearing in its beak serde, whereon
are written the motto, In hoe sig no Mis-
ces' just over the eagles head is coro-
nal of States. Below the serde, is seen, the
peculiar emblem of the Order of the Sons
of Temperance, a triangle enclosing five
pointed star" Lower still sre painted in
miniature, the flags Of the various govern
meuts, within whose dominions the order
exists.
The banner was gotten up, in every respect
by Son of Temperance, of Charleston,
who certainly deserves the highest praise.

much either in praise or dispraise of the
public and private, some of which, may
hereafter describe for your readers benefit
The only peculiar institution | have OBJ
