Minute Men.

lives, their fortunes and their sacred
honor" in defense of Southern Rights,
has recently been effected in Colum-
bia, and has already spread to and
taken root in different parts Of the
state They are to be known by the
name of Minute Men," and are to
wear a rosette Of blue cibbon on the
left side Of the hat. On public occa-
siOns they will wear red scarf over
the right shoulder, crossing under the
left arm, with the initials Of their til
tie, m. NJ" imprinted on it at the
cross. They will also carry a flam-
beau. or other demonstrstive badge on
these occasions.
The organization has sprung into
existence within the last ten or fifteen

few evenings since in Columbia. A
company has been formed in Sumter
and perhaps at other places in the
state. That the movement will meet
with a splendid response from all
parts of South Carolina and the
south, we have every reason to be-
lieve. We can speak for the people of
this state that they are thoroughly
convinced that their only hope Of Sc
curity and safety lies in the strength
