Mr.. Bayard has not yet signifcd his
intention to resign his seat in the Senate
of the United States, nor is it at all likely
that he will We trust therefore, that he
will be compelled to take the oath Of al
legiance to the country before lie is per-
mitted to take his position in that digni-
fed body as the equal of loyal and honor
able Senators. The whole country sus-
poets Mr.. Bayard's loyalty; and it is no
more than justice to the National Govern
ment as well as to the State of Delaware
that he should show his hand, and tell, at
least his constituents, where he stands in
this war against the life of the nation,
Let him take the oath or stand branded
before the country and the world as an
enemy to the Union

From Vicksburg.

JACKSON, June 22d.-On Saturday MORN
ing at 2 o'clock, the enemy made another
furious assault on our lines near Vicksburg.
The action lasted until ten o'clock A. M,
ending in the complete rout Of the enemy.
Citizens from the neighborhood report that
the fire Of musketry exceeded anything ever
heard, and that the loss Of the enemy is
heavier than in. any other attack.
Nothing whatever is known in regard to
our loss, but it is certain another great victo-
ry has been gained.
The special correspondent of the Mississip-
plan estimates the loss of the enemy Satur-
day at 10000 He also says the enemy are
throwing pontoon bridges across the Big
Black between the Railroad bridges and Boil
wen's Ferry, near Warrenton.
It is reported.our forces have taken possess
sion Of Union Bluff on the Yazoo.
SECOND DISPATCH.
JACKSON, June % One Of our scouts just
returned from the interior Of the enemy's
lines, reports that they acknowledge their loss
to be heavier than in any other assault, and
that it is yariously reported at from seven to
ter. Thousand; that our victory was complete
and their troops are much depressed III con-
sequence, and that they say Vicksburg has
over been slaughter pen. They abuse Gen.
Grant for undertaking an impossibility.

Dear Father and Mother.
fear the news contained in this, will almost
break your hearts, but hope you will bear it
with christian fortitude, when you learn that
your dear boy in passing from this world, was
cheered by the prospects of q better one, and
desired me, and you all, to meet him in Heaven
Frank was wounded Saturday, June 18th,
near Bunker Hill. helped to carry him from
the field on blanket, and was with him con-
stantly till he died, just after II o'clock Sum
day night. He spent most of the time in calm,
fervent prayer, and talking Of the dear ones at
home.
!, He fell by the side Of his Colonel, at the head
of our victorious columns, and said, 81 die in
a holy cause-in defence of our liberties and
homes" X have strong rea-
son to believe his brave spirit is in Heaven
May God sustain us all. Oh, how much miss
him, and how much need a letter just now
from home JOS. D. ANDERSON.
FRANK M. ANDERSON was 10 years old, at
.tached to Go. A, 18th Va Cavalry, and son Of
DR.. Anderson, of this county.
Burned to death, in Rye Cove, Scott county,
Va, on Monday evening, May 18th, 1868, Ell
HERr j. sMINTER, infant son Of J..S. and Louisa
NJ. Minter, aged about two years and ten months.
Little Ebert was child Of much sprightliness,
and peculiarly winning in his disposition and
manners He was quite favorite with all the
family, and his untimely death will long cast q
shadow of gloom over the little household which
his presence once lighted. At the time of his
burning, all were absent from the house but his
little sister, who was about four years old, his
mother just leaving the house few minutes to
go short distance. But his mother did not
arrive in time to witness the burning of her
darling child. What sad and awful emotions
must have filed her bosom as she approached
the house where her little darling child lay with
his clothing all burned off of him, and his little
body solidly. crisped from head to feet His
ghastly appearance, told the sad tale, that he
soon must be laid in the cold silent tomb, and
his sweet little face hid by the coffin lid from
her sight forever. Beneath the tall oak tree his
head is pillowed low, no more his sweet little
presence will cheer the hearts Of his parents
that dotted on him so. He lived about one hour
after the burning. His little sister says his
clothes caught IRE in the house, and he started
running in the direction his mother had gone,
but soon fell on his face, to raise no more until
he was lifted up in manner dead. Yet why
mourn for little Ebert? In that better land We
know he is happy. While yet his little feet were
strangers to the paths Of sin and sorrow, our
Heavenly Father saw fit to take him to himself
Murmur not, the Lord doth all things well.
Died, in this county, on the 18th inst, at the
residence of her mother, Mrs. Hugh Mehxfey,
Mrs. SALLIE A. GoBBLE, wife Of Capt Thomas
