Leaving the Army.
We find the following in the Cincin-

clnuau Enqulrers
Col. Stanley Matthews.
The nomination, by the.Abolition Mu.
nicipal Convention Of Friday, Of Colonel
Stanley Matthews for Judge, would show
either that. there is no home material in
the party fit for the position, or that the
Colonel is not of much force where is,
and can be spared without detriment to
the service. No person will question
Col. Matthews legal abilities or quail
fications for the Bench; but the 'Conven-
tion would seem to question his abilities
and qualifications for his present posi-.
ton. We think he is excellent where
he is, and are opposed to weakening the
army by Withdrawing him f;om it.
Majer N. HAYDEN of the 5lst has re-
signed and returned home en- account of
impaired health.
Captain GooDRIoH, of the sOth has
also resigned and returned home. Pre-
vious to leaving the officers gave him a
supper and endorsed the Capt. in the
following resolutions:
