From Charleston.[special correspondence of the Dispatch.] Charleston, May 16, 1861. Two vessels came into port this morning, one laden with molasses and sugar. The Niagara is not to be seen off the harbor; where gone, no one knows and nobody cares. On yesterday, several Baptist ministers of your State and city visited Fort Sumter, by special permit of Governor Pickens, who did me the special honor of a call at my private residence. Among them was your townsman, the Rev. James B. Taylor, D. D., "whose praise is in all the Churches," and who still retains much of his former appearance, though now a man advanced in life. Accompanying him was a son, Rev. George B. Taylor, a Baptist minister of no small repute, and a son-in-law, Rev. Mr. Prichard, of Wilmington, N. C. These gentlemen were returning from Savannah, where the denomination had been holding their biennial Convention, and in which convocation they adopted certain resolutions expressive of the feelings of th

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.Doings at Harper's Ferry. Harper's Ferry, Va., May 16, 1861. This morning all things look busy about the camp-grounds and quarters — men preparing their morning repast, drill at 5 ¼ A. M., after which comes breakfast. At 9 o'clock, the splendid band, under the direction of Prof. Charles Eshman, from Harrisonburg, commences practice; at 10 o'clock squad drill; at 2 o'clock P. M. band rehearsal; at 3 o'clock drill; and at 5 ½ or 6 P. M. dress parade. Thus, you see, we are always busy, and should the enemy come to the attack, they would be very apt to run in and find us already armed and accoutred, as we do not get much play-time.--At 8 o'clock every man not out on duty is in his barracks. This is by general order from headquarters, and a good arrangement. On Sunday last, about forty members of the Maryland Legislature paid us a visit. What their purpose was is probably best known at headquarters, as, so soon as they could get pe

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.to the women of the South. Drakesville, N. C., May 16, 1861. May I suggest, through the columns of the Dispatch, to Southern women, in view of the events, which God in his great mercy avert, to study Florence Nightingale's "Notes on Nursing'" The warmest enthusiasm, or even the most devoted love, will not make a good and efficient nurse, without strong common sense and practical knowledge. And who so fitted to teach on this subject as the woman who had charge of the hospitals in the Crimea, and who possesses a wonderfully strong, shrewd and practical mind? Southern women, let us heard every luxury, or even necessary, that may possibly be required during the war. If not needed, we can enjoy them with our beloved ones when they return. Let us now nurse the sick, dress wounds, attend hospitals, be learning all we can. And above all, let us cultivate that trust in God which will keep us calm and strong through all that comes; endeav

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.the Terra Rangers.--Remarkable Shooting. Charleston, May 18, 1861. I see, in your valuable paper, a notice of the arrival in Richmond of the advanced guard of Texan Rangers. Allow me to inform your Southern readers what kind of troopers they are. A friend of mine, an officer of high rank in the army of the Confederate States, has just returned from Montgomery, and says that while there, some twenty of these Rangers exhibited the following feat: A loaded revolver pistol was thrown upon the ground, the Ranger puts his horse up to full speed, and as he passes picks it up without slackening speed, throws himself " a la Camanche" on the side of the horse opposite to his enemy, being invisible to him, and under the horse's neck, fires each barrel of his pistol successively in the direction of the enemy. Will they not make the dandy troops of Broadway, the Wilson shoulder-hitters, etc., open their eyes? A Subscriber.

A proposition to Major Anderson. --We have been requested by one of our well-known citizens, (says the N. O. Picayune,) to publish the following note from him to the late commander of Fort Sumter. It will be seen that the writer does not seek to deprive the other party to the proposed arrangement, both of his money and his property, though he is professionally engaged in a cause that has for its object the annihilation of the latter's value: New Orleans, May 16, 1861. Sir Maj. Robert Anderson, late of Fort Sumter, S. C. --You hold my three notes for $4,500 each, with about $1,000 accumulated interest, all due in the month of March, 1862, which notes were given in part payment of twenty-nine negroes, purchased of you in March, 1860. As I consider fair play a jewel, I take this method to notify you that I will not pay those notes: but, as I neither seek nor wish an advantage, I desire that you return me the notes and the money paid you, and the negroes shall be subje

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.departure of troops. Lewisburg, Va., May 16, 1861. Since my last letter we have had considerable excitement in our community. Companies "A" and "B," of the Greenbrier Rifles, have been equipped and forwarded to the wars. The whole town turned out to witness their departure. Company "A" left on Monday last. On Sunday afternoon they marched to the Presbyterian Church, where, after several prayers and addresses by the pastors of the Presbyterian and Methodist Churches, Rev. Dr. McKinley, Sr., pastor of the Presbyterian congregation, assisted by his elders, presented, on behalf of the Christians of Lewisburg, a copy of the New Testament to each man. There were few dry eyes in the large assembly. On Monday afternoon, escorted by the Home Guard, they commenced their march. They paused for a little while in the centre of the town to receive a beautiful flag, presented by the ladies of Greenbrier. Capt. Dennis, in an appropriate spe

A Spartan Girl. --A young daughter of Baltimore writes to a schoolmate and friend in Charleston: Baltimore, May 16, 1861. You must pardon me for intruding upon you an expression of my Southern sentiment. I so often think and speak of you with the rest of your friends, and I envy your living in the bosom of a home which we are denied. You cannot see as well as we how miserably our happiness, our liberty, our homes, have been sold by traitors, who would risk all this to be the pampered minions of Abe Lincoln and his party. I can scarcely control myself whilst I am writing you. I am boiling over with indignation. I once prayed for peace; but now, next to begging the blessing of God, I pray-- "Hurrah for Jeff, Davis and the Southern Confederacy!" And, woman as I am, if I knew the way, I would walk out of Maryland until my foot rested on more Southern soil. --You are happy, indeed, and have nothing to contend with in comparison with we poor Baltimoreans — or, I s
