Robinson received his first wound at
the battle of Williamsburg, being Sc.

in the battle known as the Bull Run.
The third wouud-in the muscles of

The second wound was received on
August 30, 1862. The Sixth regiment
to which Robinson was ATTACHED, was
supporting the Fifth regiment, New

as skirmishers and was charging on the
enemy. OF the shooting, Robinson
recollects sharp pain darted through
his ear into his head, and then he re
membered nothing more. He was left
for dead, and remained on the battle

removed and taken to the division
hospital, suffering untold agony from

a mimic or musket ball, entered the
left ear, cutting off the pendu!ous lobe
and taking an upward course through
the brain and lodged near the upper

From the Philadelphia Chronicle. NAV 4th
DeidaUare's Candidate for the
PfesidencU,

To-day no man occupies fairer DO
sition before the Democracy and the
people OF the country generally, than
Senator Bayard, of little Delaware.
Modest, unassuming, unambitious,
able, eloquent and honest, he is one of
the few men now named for the Presi.
dency, who embodies in himself all the
fitness required for that office, and it
need not surprise, If when the time
arrives, he is made the standard bearer
ofthe Democracy. With such a leader,
we could at once assume the absolute
aggressive. de would not be a candi-
date demanding a defense. There
does not stand recorded against him
single charge, however trivial, that
could for single moment be sustain
ed.
There are others equally unexcep-
tional in the Democratic ranks, and for
any one of whom, 1t would afford us
the most unfeigned pleasure TO do our
level best, but there is no one. who, at
this moment, enjoys more fully the
confidence and esteem of his party and
the nation, than the aforsaid Thomas
+. Bayard, of the Diamond State.
Undoubtedly Mr.. BAYARD possesses
all the best elements that should com.
bine TO fit gentleman for the Presi.

His learning and great ability Is &C.

would bring to the Presidency aud the

patriotic men men endowed with

MT bAYARD would not only bring
the Government back TO the old Dem
ocratlc and Whig standard for sagaci
ty and wisdom, but he would carry with
him to Washington some of his Della
ware ideas of economy. a commodity
which has been badly wanted in the
Capital for many years. A new Leaf
would be turned over in that city, and
the Treasury Department would be
made to show an annual saving an.

1t proves that tho Colonel is a gentleman
