First thing you'll need to do is figure out the width and height of the tiles. It should be the same throughout the bmp. In GameDev, click on the tilesets icon. Enter in the tiles' height, the tiles' width, and a name. Then click on load image. Find the file there. If everything was entered right, you'll be able to use those as tiles.

Depending on how you saved your graphics, you might also find the "Assemble/Slice Tilesets" command in the tools menu useful.  Bring up that window and press the F1 key for help on what it does and how to use it.
