The distinguished services which Colonel Hughes has
rendered his country demands something more than the
commission and retired TO private life
Colonel Hughes graduated at the Military Academy at
West Point in the year 1927 Since then he has dis
charged with signal ability the various duties which have
devoved upon him. In 1916 he was attached to General
Woos division in its arduous march through the north
of Mexico He subsequently, attached to the staff Of
General WORTH with whom he served at Vera Cruz and
Cero Gordo After the latter battle he was ordered to
the United States on account OF his health, which
broken by his long and arduous service in the field His
health being somewhat restored. Mr.. Polk rendered
him the command OF the regiment of volunteers raised
in Maryland and the District OF Columbia. He was
induced to accept this post. and he returned Mexi
co at the head of his new regiment. His march
from Vera Cruz to Jalapa and the faithful and efficient
manner in which he discharged the important duties
which devolved upon him governor OF the districts of
Jaspa and Peroe, too fresh in the public mind to
need comment Col Albert Chief OF Typographical Eng
neers in his report of November IT, ls4s uses the fol-
lowing emphatic language;
Captain g. W. Hughes after important services in
the duties OF his corps with the army in North Mexico, and
Vera Cruz and Cerro ordo returned to the
States emacated and broken down by the climate, his
fatKnes and exposures. Bat, rapidly recovering his
health, he placed the head of regiment of
volunteers and Immediately went back with his com
mand to Mexico. His march from Vera Cruz to ia
lapa is spoken OF as one OF great merit and
trial, in which he several occasions tered and
beat the enemy. He then made military and civil
of the department of Jaapa and Perote and by
his highly judcous, energetic prompt and well Judged
measures mainly instrumental in keeping that
sve district quiet as well as the whole road from thence to
Vera Cruz. He continued in this command i'll the
minaion of the when he returned the United States,
and has since resumed his duties in his corps with the
brevet of major"
Colonel Hughes has now resigned his Office and sur
rendered his official station the
repose and quiet of Maryland farmer. We trust that
peace and prosperity may attend him in his new vocation
The good people of Maryland will be glad to welcome

hook, and who will be ready TO grasp the sword again
