d structures, neither lathed nor plastered, and a division has but one fire: We are gratified to learn that the sanitary condition of Fort Delaware has much improved since last year, and the daily average of deaths considerably diminished. Tobacco is much more desired by the prisoners than money, as it is a common article of traffic, and will purchase anything they need. We mention this as a hint to those persons who desire to send any gift to their friends there. Captain Richard E. Frayser, of the Signat Corps, and Captain Jones R. Christian, of company F, Third Virginia cavalry, are among the officers sent from Fort Delaware to Morris island to be placed under fire. Among the prisoners returned by this flag of truce are Captain B. F. Smith, William F. White, Anron Burton, William C. Tempkins, and — Allen, of Richmond, and Dr. Howlett, of Chesterfield. The members of the Third Richmond Howitzer company at present in Fort Delaware are well and provided for.

Execution Postponed. --Governor Smith has granted a further respite in the case of William, slave of Samuel Fauntleroy, who was to have been hung yesterday morning for the crime of burglary, committed at the dwelling of Mrs. Mary Harris, on Grace street, between Eighteenth and Nineteenth--the negro and an accomplice entering the house armed with a loaded gun, a knife and a sword, ready to murder if it had been necessary to the accomplishment of their purpose. The message from the Governor was not received by the City Sergeant till a few minutes before it was time for the condemned man to be taken from the jail and after the preacher had united with him in prayer for the salvation of his soul. The execution has been deferred till the 21st of October, at which time another negro named Ben, slave of John H. Gentry, convicted or breaking into and robbing James T. Butler & Co.'s store, is also to be hung. As at present contemplated, they will then be both hung together.
