OF course, In the thickest Of the Rght.
At the battle Of Germ antown, he was

was appointed 10 the command of the
southern army, major Bennett accom-
panied his regiment under the orders

brilliant series Of military services, by
participating in the capture Of Corn
wallis at Yorktown.
Since the close OF that eventfuI war;
major Bennett has principally resided
in Delaware, and for the last twenty
years, in this, his native town. He
was remarkable for ell the qualities
which constitute a good ciliEent a ten
der and afectionate husband and faith

bour, devoted patriot and an honest
man. Amidst all the exacerbations
of party contention, major Bennett
was popular and respected-aud those
who differed from him in political sen
timent, did full justice TO the excel
lence Of his heart, the ardour Of his
patriotism and the integrity ofhiS life
and motives. In the year 1899, he
was elected by his fellow citizens 10
the Office of governor of this state
being the first executive elected under
the amended constitution. He died
as he had lived, with the composure
of Christian and the intrepidily Ofa
soldier. He has gone from works 10
