City Point, April 6, 1861.

American ship Argo, Ballard, master, from Liverpool, with salt, to Schaer, Kohler & Co., Richmond.
Bremen ship Herzagin Von Brabant, Beling, master, via Hampton Roads, to Schaer, Rohier & Co., Richmond.
From Charleston.[special correspondence of the Dispatch.] Charleston, April 6, 1861.
I think that our political "complications" are fast drawing to a close.
Yesterday was a day of great excitement, from various significant signs in and about the city.
In the first place, the firing into that schooner gave some uneasiness with the timid.
When the firing took place, Maj. Anderson sent a boat with the white flag asking permission of General Beauregard to visit the vessel, which was granted.
Large supplies of provisions were sent down to the different stations on yesterday and the day before, which showed that something was expected.
The reason of this, I understand to be, that all supplies are to be cut off from Maj. Anderson, and if so, he may say we shall not pass with provisions, but we have on the Islands now plenty for six months. I understand that supplies were stopped to-day, but I cannot, up to 6 o'clock P. M., confirm it.--If it has been done, Major Anderson wi

[correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.]another Secession Flag raised — dedication of Masonic Temple. Harrisonburg, Va., April 6, 1861.
On Friday morning our submission friends sent up another groan at the sight of another secession flag, which was thrown to the breeze from a tall and majestic pole on Thursday night, amidst the shouts and hurrahs of many citizens and firing of salutes by the "sojer " boys.
So, my prediction has been verified that "other secession flags would go up before the first one put up would come down." So it is, and so it will be again.
Truly, "Southward the star of empire takes its way." Old Rockingham will be all right, and so will Virginia.
Let the State Convention take notice.
To-day the new Masonic Temple was dedicated.
This Masonic Hall is, very probably, the finest in the State.
It was opened last night, and a public reception was granted to all to see its beauties.
The building is a very fine one, and reflects great credit upon the
Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.Secession--Roanoke College--Politics, &c. Salem, Roanoke Co., Va., April 6, 1861.
A few days ago the students of Roanoke College raised a large and handsome "Secession Flag" over the College, on one side of which was painted a large rattlesnake in the attitude of striking, under which was painted, in large letters, "Don't tread on me," and on the other side, a Palmetto tree in the centre, and seven stars in the corner.
It waves beautifully over the College, which stands on an eminence, and can be distinctly seen from the railroad, a distance of half a mile.
The painting was executed by our townsman, Dr. M. Jeter, who has considerable taste for such things.
Our College, which is under the control of the Lutheran denomination, is in a flourishing condition, and one of the best institutions of learning in the State.
It is situated in the garden spot of Virginia, and is destined, at some future day, to take a still higher position,
Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.raising Secession flags. Bonsack's, Roanoke Co., Va., April 6th, 1861.
To-day was a great day in our village.
The patriotic citizens of this place raised a Secession flag 6½ feet wide and 15 feet long, on a pole 92 feet high, at 2 o'clock, P. M. The flag was raised by our gallant Congressman, Hon. Henry A. Edmundson, and was greeted by nine rousing cheers by the sovereigns assembled around it. The crowd was then addressed by Messrs. Wm. M. Burwell, Hon. Henry A. Edmundson, Wm. Watts, Major James McDowell, and Green James, Esq.--The speeches were able and patriotic, and stirred the souls of the brave mountaineers to their uttermost depths.
The meeting adjourned by giving three cheers for the gallant little State of South Carolina, and three cheers for Jeff Davis and the Southern Confederacy.
If the Convention does not give us a chance to vote for an Ordinance of Secession, the sovereign people will take matters into their own hand
