Delaware heard from.

--The following is from the Lewes (Del.) correspondence of the Philadelphia Inquirer, July 26th. We now have the reason why the Federal Congress made an appropriation to arm the ‘"loyal"’ citizens of Delaware:

‘ The Secessionists are very violent here just now. A number of excursionists from Dover, calling themselves the ‘"Peace Party,"’ came ashore yesterday, headed by Mr. Ridgely, the Secretary of State. Early in the day Ridgely cheered lustily for Jeff. Davis, Beauregard & Co., entreating others of our citizens to fall in with his crew.

They remained on shore all day, Ridgely, in the meantime, becoming beastly intoxicated.

The citizens met and quelled the traitors for a time, but last night, after being reinforced, they again assembled on the bank of the creek, and yelled like savages for the Confederate States.

’
