A correspondent writes from Washington
efforts are now making to induce every
State south of Mason and Dixon's line to Sc!
cede, and the most extraordinary influences
are being brought to bear upon the delegates
to assemble in Virginia on the 4th instant
to carry that convention in favor Of seces-
sion. Itis believed by some that majority
will so vote. This is the great point the Sc
sessionists hope to gain, because if Virginia
votes against secession there is no hope of
carrying Maryland, and without the latter
States there will be no such thing as effect
ing an organization to take the Capital"

THE PALMETTO FLAG "REcoGNIzED AT
HAvANA.-The first attempt of a vessel to
enter foreign port under the flag Of the
Independent Republic of South Carolina"
was made at Havana by brigantine from
Charleston She sailed in past the Moro
Castle with her palmetto" flag flying aloft.
But Immediately, by order of the officer in
command of the fortress, she was brought to
anchor under its guns, and kept there until
the flag of the United States was displayed
at her mast head, when she was permitted
to proceed up the harbor. We wonder
what they are going to do in Palmetto-dom
about this outrage upon their flag in for
eign port. This insult ought to be avenged
forthwith. A newborn nationality cannot
afford to permit its emblematic ensign to be
thus dishonored ...

SPEED OF BOYS SLEDs.--A fTIe~
us that being in Middletown day ~
since, he timed the speed Of the boys sleds
there, where coasting has been popular
amusement. 1t was on Court street, and
the inclination pretty steep all the way to
the river. He found that the sleds went
half mile in eighteen seconds, or nearly two
miles minute This is double the speed
of the swiftest Express train. 1t is a sport
not unattended with danger, especially when
the sleds come down across travelled roads
or city streets. Witness, the fatal accident
at Farmineton, the other day. In Middle
town, the boys would tie string of sleds
together, railroad fashion, and one of these
trains, in crossing road, came against a
two horse team and threw both horses down,
the sleds passing under the horses in safety
