the Hon. SIM. Harrington, Jr.. Secretary of
State. The exPsssisps of f'regret of the
Executive Department, at the loss Of this
abs Jurist to the Bench of Delaware, will
Be- shared alike by all our citizens, and tho
complimentary manner in which Mr.. Har-
rington refers to the fidelity, dignity and
ability with which Judge Milligan has per-
formed the duties of his Office, is fitting
tribute to the worth Of so distinguished
and faithful public servant.
The following is the correspondence
JUDGE MILIloAN's LETTER or RESIGNATION
WILMINGTON Sept. IL, 1864.
TO his Excellency WILLIAM CANNON,
Governor, &C., &c,
DEAR SIR;-For some time the state of
nv health has been such that have been
often on the point of resigning my commits
sion as an Associate Judge of the State of
Delaware. Anapparent improvement, how
ever, coupled with reluctance TO part from
those with whom have been long and
pleasantly associated in the discharge of my
official duties, has until now postponed this
intention, But my attacks have become SO
much more serious that l can delay it no
longer. Accordingly l beg your Excellency
to accept the tender of my resignation,
which desire may take effect on the nine
teenth (l9th) inst
With the highest respect,
l remain, Dear Sir,
Your 6bedient servant,
JoHS j. MLlIoAN.

so far as 1 understand II. The particulars Of
your plans neither know nor seek to know
You are vigilant aud self reliant; and pleased
with this, | wish not TO obtrude any restraints
Or ooustraiuts upon you. While am very
ansig~s that any great disaster or capture of our
men in great numbers shall be avoided, know
that these poinls are less likely 10 escape your
attention than they would be mine II there be

The President; - Your very kind letter OF yes
terday is just received The confidence you
express for the future aud satisfaction for the
past, in my military administration, IL acknow-
eJged with pride. II shall be my earnest en-
deavor that you and the country shalt not be
disappointed From my first entrance into the
volunteer service Of the country TO the present
day, have never had cause of complaint, have
never expressed or implied a complaint against
the Administration, or the Secretary of War, for
throwing any embarrassment ia the way OF my
vigorously prosecuting what appeared to be my
duty. Indeed, since the promotion which
placed INC in command Of all the armies, and IN
view OF the great responsibility and Importance
Of success, have been astonished at the roadi-
ness with which everything asked for has been
yielded, without even an explanation being
asked.
Should nay success be less than desire and
expect, the least can say is, the fault is not
with you.
Very truly, your Obedieut servant,

more than twenty-five years, during which
time he has maintained An unsullied charac.
ter for honesty and impartiality in the ad-
ministratiOn ofjustico. His descisions have

ever maintained the respect and esteem OF
the Bench and Bar of the State, and his re-
tirement will cause universal regret
We are sorry to learn that the Judge was
