The Secession Movement.

Especial dispatch to the N. Y. Herald
CHARLESTON, S. c.. November l7.-Our
leading importing merchants have erected
mammoth pole near the Charleston Hotel
and the hosting of the State flag on it has
been duly celebrated. The cheering was
tremendous. Rev. Mr.. Gadsdep delivered
prayer and speeches were made by Messrs.
Barker, Robertson, Connean, Hammond and
Northrut The Washington Artillery pa
raded and fred 100 guns as the flag went up.
Bells were rung and the band played the
Marsollaise Hymn. This fred up the French
element of our population. After the hymn
the band played "Miserere," from TroUatore,
for the Union. ALI the large hotels flung
out the Palmetto flag. Secession badges are
universal. Not ship in the hsrbor hoisted
Federal flag. There is another great de-
monstration tonight. ....-.
The stand near the pole is beautifully
illuminated. Speeches were made by Cap
tain Thomas, of the State Military Academy,
who assured the audience that the Cadets
were ready at a moments notice. Also, by
Chancellor Nicoll, Cooper, Kirkwood and
others there. The citizens are raising a
great clamor for the banks to suspend now.
It is supposed that it may be done about the
middle of next week. The rates here, how
ever, are as good as gold. The Convention
will probably sit week, but the first thing
done will be secession. Magrath is much
talked of as the Commissioner to settle with
the Government the terms of secession,
i. WHAT VIRGINIA WILL DO.
RICHMOND, VA, November 1.-THE pur-
pose of Virginia is to maintain position of
neutrality until she is prepared to tender her
services as mediator under the official sane
tion of the Legislature or Convention called
by its authorities. She will meanwhile pre-
pare for the worst; for if the States now
threatening to secede shall adopt the pro-
gramme, and that shall fail to be carried out
by nom compliance on the part of the North,
Virginia will unite in the secession move
ment. She will ask the Southern States to
go into Southern Conference with her, and
II is understood that they will go, provided
she1ays down beforehand the programme
which shall form the basis of action which
will embrace first, a repeal of the statutes
nullifying the Fugitive-slave Law by those
States which have passed such statutes, with
a guarantee of faithful enforcement of that
law in the future. ..- ,
Second. A concession that the Constitu-
ton authorizes the carrying of slaves into
the common Territories, and consequent pro-
lection of slave property therein.
Third. That Congress nor the Executive
shall not interfere, except for its protection
in the latter when necessary.
Ten thousand stand of arms are now being
distributed in Mississippi by order of Gov.
Pettus. -..
Accounts recently received here represent
that State as almost unanimous for secession.
MONTGOMERY, ALA, November l7.-An
immense meeting irrespective of party, to
take into consideration the present state OF
affairs, was held at the capital tonight. Mr.
Yancey and Hon. Thos. Watts were unani-
mously nominated as delegates to the State
Convention.

At this point the Ohio continues to recede
steadily, having declined during the twenty
four hours ending last evening about twelve
inches, leaving q channel-depth at this port
of some twenty-five feet. At Pittsburg the
river is still falling, and is probably on de-
cline all the way to- this port, though there
is abundance of water for all the present pur-
poses of navigation from the source to the
mouth of the Ohio.
At the Landing yesterday the usual Sab
bath dullness prevailed. The Wharf was

Boy KILLED BY A STREET RAILROAD Car.
A little boy about four years and a half old,
named Patrick Sullivan, whose parents re-
side near the east end of the Pendleton and
Fifth-street Railroad, was run over and
killed by car about six o'clock night
before last. His parents had but recently
moved into the neighborhood, and conse-
quently the cars excited the curiosity of the
boy, who had been annoying the conductors
and drivers during the entire day.
AT the time the accident occurred, the
driver was endeavoring to switch off at the
east end of the road, and it being very dark,
he did not see the boy, who was standing on
the track. The car ran directly over his
body, nearly severing it, and killing him in
stantly.
Coroner Carey held an inquest over the
body, and the jury returned verdict in ac-
cordance with the facts.

IDIosYNCRAsIEs OF CHINESE GAMBLERS
Every now and then a set of almond-eyed,
moon faced, pig-tailed Celestials, are arrested
by the police for gambling, in San Francisco.
The Chinamen do not and will not recognize
their money in this way. Their method is to
shut themselves up in room, and appoint
sentinels at all the approaches, TO look out
for policemen, and then they sail in" and
such shying about Of perforated copper
money would make any ordinary gambler s
head swim. They discard liquor, Of all kinds,
but get up steam by means of opium and
other exciting drugs, and now and then an
irate Celestial, deeming himself syindled,
gets hold of bis nsighbors pig tail, and a
in all this they follow the example Of those
who should teach them better. 3

The DEBusscoPE-A Curious Enoention.-,
A curious invention has been produced in
France, which consists oftwo silvered plates,
highly polished and of great reflective power,
placed together in framework of card
board or wood at an angle of seventy de-
grees. On being placed before small pic
ture, design of any kind, no matter how
rough, or whether good or bad, the debuss-
cope will reflect the portion Immediately
under the eye, on all sides, forming the most
beautiful designs; and by being slowly
moved over the picture, will form new de-
signs to any extent The instrument gives
the design in such a manner that IL can be
made stationary at pleasure, until copied.
1t is, therefore, an inexhaustible treasure to
draughtsmen and others. Setting aside the
utility of the debussscOpe altogether, it eau
be made the means of qualification in the
drawing-room, and, doubtless, will soon as
sumo it proper place along with the micro
scope and stereOscope, as a source of amuse-
ment at once innocent and instructive.
