ore thought worthy of death; but the public opinion of the time, as expressed by a small majority of the deputies, was more merciful, and Gorton and his associates were imprisoned. It is the nature of a popular state to cherish peace: the people murmured at the severity of their rulers, and the imprisoned men were soon set at liberty; but the claim to the territory was not immediately abandoned.

ower story such doors as were in curved partitions were made to conform to the curve. The entrance hall took a segment of four feet off each circle, making a straight side of fifteen feet in each room in which were wide doors of two leaves on the lower floor. The entrance hall had a heavy panelled door, with transom and side-lights, and a window at the rear. The latter is shown in the enlarged photograph which is preserved in the library. This was secured by the forethought of former President Eddy of the Historical Society, prior to the alterations made at the erection of the brick stack-room, and shows the fine old stairway as originally built. As yet we have found no one to tell us of the mode of construction of those circular walls. The alterations made twenty years ago (by workmen from out of town) may or may not have revealed it to them. The windows set deeply into the walls from without and more so within, and suggest that the circular walls may be of rough brick-work.
Delaware Legislature. Wilmington, Del., March 8. --The Delaware Legislature adjourded sine die to-day. An endeavor was made to call an extra session in April on the state of the Union, but it failed. The Legislature refused by a large majority to renew the present lottery grant held by Messrs. Wood & Eddy, which expires in a few months. It is probable that no more lottery grants will be made by this State.
a large majority. Fred Douglas then rose again, and was exceedingly severe in his condemnation of the proceedings. He made an allusion to Daniel Webster, and three cheers were given for Webster and repeated. He was continually interrupted with cries that he had exceeded his time. All was confusion, and the negroes particularly were uproarious. A motion to dissolve the meeting was carried, and Mr. Fay retired from the chair. Fred Douglas called on his friends to remain. Rev. Dr. Eddy commenced a speech in disapproval of the doings, and was stopped by a fight upon the platform, which was immediately covered by the police. The Chief of Police called on those present to leave the Hall, as the meeting was dissolved. During a brief calm, J. Murray Howe was chosen Chairman in place of Mr. Fay, by the Union men, when the fighting recommenced on the platform, in which Fred Douglas and his friends were roughly used. Cheers were then given for Virginia, and the Unio
loss, says the Winchester Virginia, in the attack on Bloomery, Hampshire county, was two wounded and thirty prisoners. The Yankees admit the loss of seven killed and fifteen wounded. The Confederate militia were surprised.--Colonel Scincludiver, of Berkeley, was in command. He escaped. The names of the prisoners taken by the Yankees are as follows: Col R. F. Baldwin, Capt Lovett, Capt Wm Lodge, Capt Willis, Capt Beard, Lieut Col McCoole; David Carper, Isaac Carper and Chas Duval, of Capt Eddy's company; Chas W Bush, of Capt Bitzer's mounted militia; Jas Bell, of Capt Lodge's company; Thomas Steele, David Gratze, Adam Lawyer, Joseph Knight, Jos Ritter, and Buckner Massey, of Capt Pierce's company; Wm Jenkins, Geo Clark, and Wm Helland, of Capt Willis's company; Samuel McKown, of Capt Lodge's company; Lieut R. L Gray, of Capt Bear's Winchester company; and Jos McCartney, of Winchester. Our troops, after the engagement, retired to Pughtown, in Frederick county, where they rem
Prisoners from the Fredericksburg battle --There were in the Cibby Prison yesterday one thousand and fifty Abolition prisoners of war, and more were momentarily expected there.

From Tennessee. Tullahoma, April 24. --Further advices from McMinnville represent that the enemy have destroyed several bridges, burnt the cotton factory, the depot buildings, one engine, and three cars and then retreated towards Murfreesboro'. [Second Dispatch.] Tullahoma April 24. --The word to-day is, "Everybody to the front." There is no movement there on the part of the enemy. Our troops are in fine spirits, and confident. It is not believed that the Yankees will dare to make an attack. Advices from Tuscumbia, to-day, state that three Yankee regiments are advancing. They will be held in check by Colonel Eddy, with Ricavalry. [third Dispatch.] Tullahoma, April 24 --The enemy are falling back. All quiet in front.
and surrounding such houses as they supposed were occupied by Federals, or where they knew Confederate deserters lived. --They succeeded in capturing several soldiers, and took some from the hospitals; how many, it is difficult to tell at the present time. The attention of the main body was directed towards the Gayoso House, where they expected to capture Major-General Hurlbut; but they were unsuccessful, that officer having left the hotel the previous evening to pass the night with Colonel Eddy. Lieutenant Harrington, of the Third United States regular cavalry, was shot and instantly killed in the hall. The Gayoso suffered more than any other place. On entering it, they rushed all over the house, and took all the Federal officers they found prisoners. We heard of several gentlemen being relieved of their pocket-books, watches, rings, etc.; and, from all accounts, they made a pretty good haul at the Gayoso. We were informed by a clerk at the Gayoso that several gentlemen ran
