wrecked outright. The saddest case is that of the

EXCITEMENT AT TowsoNTowN-THE PALMETTO
FLAG ON THE CoURT-HoUsE.-It seems that the folks
at Towsontown had quite lively time on Thurs
day. correspondent writes:
At daylight the stars and stripes were seen un-
furled to the breeze from the Smedley House, the
american office and several private residences,
while the Palmetto flag streaming from the
lofty dome of the Court house, hoisted by a por-
ton of those favorable to sustaining the rights of
the South, even to secession, if necessary, when
the proper time arrives
The flag was, however, clandestinely taken down
by one of the opponents of straight-out action in
repelling Northern aggressons. By twelve O'Clock
another and larger one was suspended from the
dome, the court house doors locked, and the door
and trap-door leading to the dome spiked. This
was not sufficient to resist the determined pur-
pose of hauling it down by several young men.
They having effected an entrance through one of
the cellar DOORS proceeded to the main door lead
ing to the dome, and after compelling it to weld
to the heavy pressure brought to bear, ascended
the stairway and forced open the trap. door above
and took in the flag and conveyed it away. The
owners called on Justice Longuecker for writ of
replevin, but the parties Voluntarily returned it,
and the suit was dropped. These proceedings kept
up an excitement nearly the whole day; some
were cheering and rejoicing the palmetto,
others denouncing it as reasonable, and some were
seen quietly looking on, half smiling, half frown-
ing.
The Palmetto flag hoisted is BODY white upon
which is representation of the Palmetto tree
with a monster rattle-snake wound around the
trunk, and lone star of yellow color in the upper
corner next the staff.
1t was the intention of the Southern Rights men
to run up their flag again yesterday, but evening
coming on, they finally concluded to defer it for
the present.

were that the person thus disposed of had been
murdered and buried at low water to some depth
