ler's division of the army. The first dis
patches relative to his doings gave his name
as Kurtz; this was an error Of the tele-
graph operators; latterly the name has
been given correctly, Kautz As an officer
long and very favOrably known not only in
our immediate vicinity, but also throughout
the Sound and large portion of the Ter
ritory, Gen. Kautz merits brief notice at
our hands.
Lieut.. A. V. Kautz came to this Terri
tory shortly before the Indian warOf 1s54-5,
in which he distinguished himself by his
gallantry and intrcpidity; participating in
the most desperate fights Of that war, in
one of which he received a wound that
compelled him to relinquish for time his
active duties. At the close of the war, be-
ing Acting Assistant Quartermaster, he
erected the present quarters Of Fort Steil-
accom-. Soon after the completion Of this
work, he obtained leave Of absence for a
year, in order to visit Europe, whittier he
repaired in the hope Of adding to his al
ready well-stored mind further knowledge
Of his profession, to which he was ardently
devoted. A few months only elapsed, after
returning from his European tour, before
the Inauguration Of the rebellion by the
firing on Fort Sumter. A much longer Pc
Rod, however, transpircd before he found
and obtained the position to which his am
bitiOn, his education, and his talents SO emf
nently qualified him. He now occupies
that position; and, should his life be spared,
we hazard nothing in saying that he will
prove himself worthy Of it; aye, worthy Of
one much higher, il the fortunes Of war
should throw in his way an opportunity to
attain il. But Lieut.. Kautz is not the only
officer of inferior grade in the regular army
who has justly obtained exalted position,
fame, and honor, by devotion to his country
in the hour of her peril II is unnecessary
here to mention others to whom we allude |;
their names are familiar to every reader Of
the stirring events Of our time, and will
oeeupv protDipept Ulace, in the .fter history
of our nation.
