The editor of the Delaware Gazette
seems TO have his neryons sensibilities
terribly shocked because his fayorite par
ty was denounced in Congress the other
day by MIR FISHER, as being an "infer-
nal Breckinridge secession party In
view of the awful retribution which is
speedily overtaking the reasonable
wretches, in whose defence the editor has
so long and sincerely labored, it is no
wonder he feels twitching sensation
about the nerves whenever he hears the
word " Internal" used in connection with
their punishment.
A detachment of the Fifth New York
Cavalry, on Monday, had a hand-to-hand
encounter with Ashbys Cavalry, near
Harrisonburg, VA Ten of the rebels
We're killed and six taken prisoners. Our
loss was one killed, and the battalion adj
