The Clerk read a letter from the Speaker of the House of Delegates tendering the use of the Hall of that body to the House, in which to hold its daily sessions.

At the expiration of the five minutes the members convened in the Hall of the lower House of the Legislature, where some little time was occupied in the seating of the members.

Wallace and Edmund Ruffin, of Virginia, Col. Blanton Duncan, of Kentucky, Milton P. Garnigan, of Tennessee, and others who have stepped forward in aid of the project with a patriotic generosity that needs no commendation. Let others emulate the example. Col. Fontaine's letter reads as follows: Heaverdam, Hanover, April 2, 1862. To the Editors of the Dispatch: Dear Sir --As you seem to be the organ for residing subscriptions for the proposed gunboat. "Richmond," you will put my name down, $250. If the enterprise goes forward promptly, and it be necessary, I will double by subscription. Although you are justified in saying there is a "seeming indifference"among the citizens of Richmond to this measure of protection, if the Major would call a meeting, I am sure you would find it otherwise. I am a smal

Second Baptist Church bell. --In noticing the recent gift of its Church bell by the congregation of the Second Baptist Church, it was intimated that the members designed to contribute sufficient metal with the bell to form a battery. Afterwards a lady correspondent suggested that the battery be called the "Seeley Battery," in compliment to the esteemed pastor of the Church. The latter, on seeing the paragraph, sends us the following note in reference to the matter: Richmond, April 2, 1862. Editors of Dispatch: A recent item in your column of Local news, concerning the donation of the Second Baptist Church bell, contains some errors which I desire to correct. The action of the Church was limited very properly I think, to the grant of the bell. --Whatever may be the contributions of individual members, availing themselves of the generous proffer made by Mr. J. F. Tanner, of the Tredegar company, to complete a battery, it will be the act of patriotic citizens, not

ws the zealous and ardent temperament which controlled his views of military duty, and which led him straight into the front of danger and death in this last great conflict. In the spring of 186. Gen. Wadsworth was appointed Military Governor of the District of Columbia; and on the advance by Gen. McClellan to Manassas, and subsequently to the Peninsula, Gen. Wadsworth's command at ended to Occoquan Bay: and for the range of duty embraced in this wide territory, he was left on the 2d of April, 1862, with some 15,000 infantry and about 4,000 artillery, and of this force one fourth was ordered to the Peninsula, leaving the defences of Washington with a garrison of less than half what he considered requisite. In the winter of 62-3, after his defeat as candidate for Governor of this State, he passed several months in the field, and was engaged at the battle of Chancellorship. He was charged later in the season with a mission to the southwest and the Gulf States, in connection with t
