Charleston, May 17, 1861. I have it on better authority than you generally get, that old "Tureen" (Scott,) and Lincoln will, on Tuesday or Wednesday next, make an attempt on Harper's Ferry, Alexandria, Fredericksburg, Urbana, and Tappahannock on the Rappahannock, and at Norfolk, and on the York river, merely to divert voters from the polls. I hope, however, that every voter in the State may determine to go to the polls and vote, if he never gets back home alive. Let him go with his ticket in one hand and the sword in the other, and vote your noble old State out of a Union with men whom you can never live except in degradation. Virginians, next Thursday is to you the most momentous day that has ever dawned upon you. It is a day for weal or woe to you and your posterity. I feel as confident as I ever did of anything, that an overwhelming majority in favor of secession will not only effectually crush out that little detestable nest of Tories in the Pan-Handle, but will be

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 parahealth prevails. This is strange for so large an assemblage of men. The scenery hereabouts is sublime, and no lover of the beauties of Nature can fail to admire its grandeur. Mr. Jefferson, in his eloquent description of the scenery of Harper's Ferry, did not overdraw the picture. Having been so busied heretofore by many duties, I have been debarred from keeping a narrative of all events transpiring, but in future I shall be able to keep my chronicle regularly. There is not much

Not a spy. --Mr. Chas. H. Haswell, of N. Y., a few days ago was arrested as a spy at Harper's Ferry, but has been released. The News says he declines to give any information as to the position of affairs there, and thus vindicates his assurance to the Virginia officers that he was not there as a spy. He speaks in warm terms of the kind treatment he received from the Virginia officers while under arrest.
