General Thomas C. Devin.

General Thomas c. Devin.
 Brevet- Brigadier- General Thomas C. Devin arrived here late last week from Southern Arizona, and is now at Fort Whipple, await ing the arrival of Major General Ord. Gen. Deyin commanded the troops in this subdis- trict for more than a year, we believe, when he was transferred to Tucson, and given com mand of the troops in the sub-district of Southern Arizona. During bis chieftaincy in the Territory, he has made for himself record that will never be effaced from the minds of it's people-white and copper color ed. Though always cramped and hampered for troops, etc, in the war he has directed against our savage enemies, all freely admit that he has worked we'll and earnestly to forward their cause, and the savages, whose ranks his soldiers have time and again thin ned, have wholesome dread of the blunt old chief General Devin belongs to the Eighth Cavalry, and as part of the regiment has gone to New Mexico, and the remainder will soon follow, we fear that our Territory will have to part with him. Fain would our people keep him here, until the good work in which he has so zealously labored, is finished, and, we believe it to be his sincere desire to be allowed to remain until that time comes But, will his superiors permit him to do so ? We fear not He will have to go, and, in going, will, of course, carry with him the best wishes of all civilized Arizonians.
 To show the esteem in which he is held by the people of Tucson and vicinity, we append the following, which we find in a recent number of the iri-onGn:
 Ata public meeting held by the citizens of Tue son. on the 22d of March, 1870, called together on the occasion of the departure of Gen. Thos C. Devin from the Territory upon motion Of J. E. MeCahrey the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted
 WHEREAS in the regular change of officers, from one station to another, Brevet- Brig Gen. Thos. c. Dcyiu has been relieved from the district of Southern Arizona; therefore, be 1t
 ResolreG, That they deem it but justice 10 the man and the soldier, 10 express their high appre- citation of, and their warm regard for the many sterling qualities of Gen. Deyn his unaffcced, gentlemanly department on all occasions, hs strict sense of honor, and genial disposition. Resolced, That in the administration of military affairs in his command, Gen. Deyin has shown himself to be thorough soldier, and good ln- dian fighter. That he has thoroughly compre. hended the nature of the savage and implacable foe against whom he waged war, and the difficult ties incident to carrying on an offensive war against him in his mountain fastnesses; that he has at all times shown himself to be "the right man in the right place" snd has never failed to prove himself equal to the situation.
 Resoired, That in our opinion, Gen. Deyin has accomplished as much towards the subjBgation of the Apache as was possible 10 have been accom- plished with the limited means at his command ; and We deeply regret the memorable necessity which has caused his removal from the command Of this district.
 Resoiued That we tender our heartfelt thanks to Gen. Devin, and 10 the officers and soldiers | under his command, for the zeal and uutrtnp energy they have displayed in their efforts 10 chas- tse our savage foes, and for the readiness that has at all times been shown, to afford us all the protection possible.
 Resolued, That copy of these resolutions be furnished to Gen. Devin, and that copies be sent for publication to the Weekly Arisondn, Arizona Miner, Santa Fe Post, Netc Mericdn and Rocky Houatain Netcs.
 Immediately after the adoption of the above resolutions, appropriate speeches were made by Coles Bashford, Secretary of the Terri tory, and John Titus, Associate Justice of the Territory, which were responded to by the General, who simply informed the people that he had tried his best to do his duty with the means furnished him. Upon leaving Tucson, his ambulance was sourrounded by many people, who accompanied him to the
 Nine Mile Station, and there bade him God speed.
 While the people of Northern Arizona are not in the habit of following persons they respect and admire over the country, and giving vent to their feelings in such manner as their brethren of the South are wont to do, they feel as keenly the loss the Territory
 will sustain by being deprived of the services
