GENERAL KAUTZ.

This gentleman who has been 50 long in command of tue Depart ment of Arizoaa las received not,cc that Gell. Wilcox will soon sue coed him.
 There has appeared from time to time so many unfair and prejadicil statements in the columns of the Citizen and Sentinel of this Terri tory, that We deem il our duty to say word or two.
 We have been acquainted with the General a sufficient length of time to have enabled us to form a safe judgement of both his charac- ter and capacity, and if our know ledge of men and insight into char scter serves Us usually we'll, We are safe in concluding that Gen. Kautz, will continue to grow in the good opinion of all well meaning and fair minded men, notwithstanding the biased and unmeasured statements eminatinS from certain sources.
 His removal from the command ofthis Department at this time does not argue ineliciency, dishonesty, nor anything of the kind. General Wilcox according to military rank, custom and usage is entitled to thi. command and is succeeding to it in the ordinary course of military events.
 In the light of the peculiar sur vices required of the military, in keeping the peace within the borders we deem it unwise on the part of the
 War Department to cause a change of commanders, in as much as Gen.
 kautz is fully acquainted with the situation of affairs, the strength and character of the willy enemy we have to deal with, and the character of the country which must occl lsion- ally be secuted over in search of the renegade Indians, Gen. Wilcox will have all these important lessons to learn and in learning them he too may eugender the animosity of news. paper Generals who assume to know
 more about commanding a military department than the General him self. Gen. Kautz and lis estimabh lady wi! carry with them from tl.is Territory the good will and well wishes of the great mass of those whose fortune it has been to have made tEeir acquaintance. May we not hope and reasonably expect, fol i the sake of the safety of our citizen.
 and the security of their properity
 in the more dangerous sections ot the Territory, that all men anc newspapers. and the military under the new commander, will unite mos f heartily in putting forth every pos sible effort to mantain the peac, , which now rcigns, and to visi :. speedy and summary punishmen , upon all treacherous Indiaus wh' s dare to leave their reservations t' I kill and plunder.

The Mysterious Masked Lady .

At the masked ball. lately given by
Frances, Countess Waldegrave, a lady Of
distinguished appearance, dressed in
black and wearing a domino, observed
two gentlemen who were conversing un-
masked in an alley of the beautiful gar
dens at Strawberry Hill. She approach
ed them with easy grace, and opened con-
versation in light and bantering tone.
The el9er of her male interlocutors was
assured, by what ''the Antiquary" would
have called 'hiss fair enemy" that she
knew all about him, and could, and she
would, tell him many quear stories about
himself. Well able to defend himself in
tongue encounters, the gentleman, whose
wit and whose persifGge were once the
delight of the House of Commons, in
which he is now much missed absentee,
replied that if she knew even a 1.-THE of
the mischief he had done in life she
would compel him to borrow her domino.
Carrying the war into the enery's coun-
try, he proceeded jestingly to impugn
her assertion that she was a married WON
an, and accused her. of having escaped
from boarding school to take part in the
Strawberry Hill gayeties. His younger
male companion, being scarcely inferior
in badinage, asked permission to touch her
marriage ring, and, accepting the gloved
hand which she promptly extended, re-
marked, after satisfying himself as to
q gage was worthy Of more respectful sa-
luton, and was permitted to raise her
black gloves to her lips. After q

A sad disappointment awaited Mr.
John Bates OF Paterson, New Jersey, re.
Gently, when he went to New York to
meet his wife on an incoming steamer
He waited on the wharf as the passengers
disembarked, expecting every minute to
see her. But she failed to appear. There
were joyful greetings on every side, and
still Mr.. Bates waited in vain. Thinking
that his wife might have been detained
on board, he sought the captain of the
steamer, who, as gently as possible, broke
the sad news that Mrs. Bates lad been
taken sick, and died when the steamer
was only short distance on her journey.
She had been buried at sea. They had
been married but short time, and she
went to England to receive a legacy left
her by relative.
- Emigration from Europe seems to have
set in again pretty largely for the Atlantic
States. In the month Of, August, 9,495
persons lett Liverpool as emigrants. This
q is the greatest number in any month dur
ing the present year, except ID the month
of May, when $3.50 sailed. Nearly the
whole of last months emigrants were for
the United States, and more than half OF
the whole number were English. For
merly, for every one English, there were
nineteen Irish emigrants. This is partly
attributable to the gradual advance OF
wages, the increased demand for laborers,
and the improved condition of small
farmers under the Landlord. and Tenant

Thursday Mr.. Welsh, the American
minister at London, rendered the British
government $5,5OO,OOO, the amount
named by the Halifax Commission as
the price which our government should
pay for the privilege of the in-shore
fisheries Of the British Provinces. The
tender was accompanied by reservation
on the part of our government, that it
was made out of our desire to "place
maintenance of good faith in treaties
and security and value of arbitration
between nations above all question in
its relations with Her Britannia Ma
jestys governments" and not as furnish
ing any measure of participation, by
our citizens, in the fisheries aforesaid.
The price paid is an exorbitant one
doubtless, but the peaceful settlement Of
such vexed question is so much cheap
err than any forcible settlement could be-
that really it furnishes little cause fol
complaint. A few weeks Shipment o.
cotton, breadstuffs and provisions will
cancel it. Great Britain is worth more
to us as customer than as an enemy
even if we have to pay an occasional
premium for her friendship.
