Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.
first secession flag in Virginia, &c.

Pittsylvania C H, Va.,
January 31, 1861.

You allude to the first Southern flag unfurled in Virginia. Now, sir, if you will visit the armory of Company A, of this place, (commanded by Capt, W. H. Worth,) you will find two with only fifteen stars (one for each Southern State) each, which flags were "nailed to the mast" on the 31 day of July, 1860, and a published letter, a few days afterwards, described them as disunion flags, and that they were set with the Union down. Is any body's flag older than these two? Let them speak, or forever after hold their peace.

Tobacco, corn and cats constitute our circulating medium. We don't use Bank notes. Southerner.
