General Wardwell.

A Aletter received at this office, from the Massachusetts home of Gen. Ward we'll, speaks as follows regarding his career antecedent' to his residence in Arizona: "A copy of your paper of Feb. 8th reached me this morning. In reading the same 1 came across a par agraph relating to Gen. Wardwell, in regard to which would say, that Mir. Wardwell served honorably through out the war; he raised his own com pany in the Fifth Massachusetts, one of the first regiments that went from here, for three months, and went back almost immediately, nearly all his company re-enlisting and going back with him; he was then Captain, and if guilty of the things mentioned, why was he promoted from time to time? He also served in the Mexican war, went out a private, came back an officer; he has been in government employ at different times here at home, was in the custom house number of years, also m the navy yard at Charles town, and had many friends here. have member of his company in my family at the present time, who speaks in the highest terms of him as an officer; he served under him three years.-Ex.
 We are prepared to believe that the General was a good officer, and we know that he has been thoroughly conscientious, industrious legislator. The civil government of Tombstone endorse him officially. No one of our representatives will carry home to his constituency cleaner record or a fairer fame.

The San Francisco Exchange calls the poem written by an ex-California newspaper man on the coronation cer. emony of Kalakana, the "dam-fun- niest composition that ever saw the light;" and it is. It is said that "the King and Queen disrobed;" probably it was to go into sack-cloth and ashes at having such language mangler in their kingdom.

A telegram sent from Wilcox, A. T., and reading as follows, has been going to the Associated Press papers:
 WILCOX, AT, Feb. 22.-The charges said to have been sent by Burgess to the Interior Department concerning Agent Wilcox at San Carlos are base falsehoods. Burgess is . discharged employe of Agent Wilcox for corrupt practices among Indians. Burgess is utterly unreliable.
 We have afidavits which go to sub- stantiate- Burgess charges; his reputa- tion is good; and that he was not dis charged is proven by the following:
 Ger. 13, 1882. J. D. BURGESS, Chief of Scouts,- Dear Sir: Your resignation is accepted. Chief of military scouts Seiber, has been detailed by Capt. Crawford to act until the place can be filed.
 Respectfully,
 P. P. WILCOX, Agent. The papers which have copied the Wilcox telegram, must, if they are honest, publish this vindication of MT Burgess. We advise the Associated Press to get more reliable agent al Wilcox, than their present one.

him, aud pocketed the whole of the money.
