MURDER OF Col. STEEDMAN, by Ne
aRoEs.-One of the bravest, best, most
popular, most honorable, most amiable citi-
zens of Lexington Distriet-of all South
Carolina-was Col. Marcellus Stcedman,
leader, for some time during the late war,
of the 9th Volunteers Since the close of
the war he has been living on his farm on
Edisto, and been engaged at tho same
time in merchandise His dwelling and
his store were under the same roof. On
Tuesday night the 9th inst, he walked
out into his piazza, and as he turned to
90 in. was shot by some persons unseen.
As he fell, he cried out. His wife rushed
forth, dragged him in and bolted the
door. He survived but three hours
The wretched and bereaved woman, with
her two little Children, spent the whole
night alone with the corpse, fearing to
give the alarm.
Immediately upon the shot being fired,
there was hubbub of voices, and Col.
Steedman recognized those of two negro
men, formerly slaves ofhis 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 Sherman when he pas
sed through Lexington, and had not re-
turned thither until a fortnight before the
murder. This fortnight they had spent
in watching 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 mon
| Ley and robbiug the store. They intended
also to murder the lady and children; but
with the first shot their hearts failed them.
We take it for granted they are in Barn
we'll jail.
Col. Steodman was only about thirty
s.an "a nf a o. Ednefeld AduertiSer.
