granted charter, and bestowed on the organization
all the rights and privileges belonging to similar
institutions This gives the organization vitality
and living existence, and am extremely anxious
to see the Order introduced in every State in the
South, but confess, little pride in having ii
transplanted first in my old natiue District Who,
among my gentleman and lady friends in Yorkville,
will take the initiative and organize a Council.
Ten or twelve ladies and gentlemen are sufficient
to organize Council. Any Deputy or Grand
Deputy of the "Sons of Temperance" who has
faithfully observed his pledge, may organize, but
it would be more proper to select reliable tenn
perance man, who is willing to join the Order, to
act as Deputy, and on application being made, the
G. W. A. D., Of ''the Temperance Reform will
commission him to organize Councils fyou wish
to organize Council, get ten or twelve names Tor
more) write to me, enclosing fee 1857 six dollars for
Charter, Books, Odes, &c., and also name the per-
son selected for Deputy, and will forward every
thing necessary for the complete organization Of the
Council
am aware that many of the noble spirits of your
District, who once battled manfuly in the ranks Of
Temperance, have fallen to rise no more; but 9th
ers have been permitted to pass through the "ter-
rible conflict" whose duty it is to renew their al
legiance to the cause of Temperance and let their
voice be heard in behalf of suffering humanity In
conclusion, allow me to wish my friends, happy
new year, and the Yor}tmMe Enquirer complete
and brilliant success.

MURDER OF COLONEL STEEDMAN BY NEGROES
One of the bravest, best, most popular, most
honorable, most amiable citizens of Lexington Dis
trict-of all South Carolina was Colonel Marcel
lus Steedman, leader for some time during the late
the close of the war he has been living on his farm
on Edisto, and been engaged at the same time ir
sr he same roof on ssday s w nh iGls Se si
instant he walked out into his piazza, and, as he
turned to 60 in, was shot by some persons unseen
As he fell, he cried out. His wife rushed forth,
dragged him in and bolted the door, HesurNved
but three hours. The wretehed and bereaved wo.
man. with her two little children, spent the whole
night alone with the corpse, fearing to give the al
arm.
Immediately upon the shot being fired, there
was hubbub of voices, and Colonel Steedman re.
cognized those Of two negro men, formerly slaves
of his father This, with their names, he disclosed
to his wife before he died.
And sure enough, on the following day, the two
monsters were arrested in Aiken. They made full
confession. 1t seems that they had followed Sher-
man when he passed through Lexington, and had
not returned thither until fortnight before the
murder. This fortnight they had spent in watch,
ing their chance. They had no grudge against their
former young master, but knowing that he was in
business they killed him with the design of getting
money and robbing the store. They intended also
to murder the lady and Children but with the first
shot, their heartsfaied them We take it for grant
ed they are in Barnwell Jail.
Colonel Steedman was only about thirty years Of
age-Edge,felI advertiser.
