GF Col Hyde, is at home, having an hon
orable discharge. The decision of the court
martial in his case had not been reviewed,
and of course was not published, but there
was SO little testimony against him, and so
much ii his favor, that the authorities felt
justified in giving an honorable release from
further service. The colonel says his regi-
ment is composed o. as good men as there
are IN the service, and that on parade they
present fine appearance. We were sur
prised to learn, however, that of the men
originally composing the regiment, only about
one fourth, are now in the service, the bal
lance having died or been discharged.
We learn also that Capt Harrington, who
is reported as having been dismissed from
the service in disgrace, received dishouora-
BILE discharge because he sent in his resigna-
ton while under arrest on charges which,
had he waited few weeks, would have been
cleared up, and left his military character UNI
furnished. -Newsdealer.
