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.
