WHY THE VALLEY WAS CLEAEED.-The Shen-
Post has been conyersing with the soldiers. He
asked one of them about Sheridan's orders to
clear the Valley. - Well, said he, II tell you
, It's pretty hard We get orders to clean ont n
section. The Captain he picks his men here
they all grlnned) he knows pretty well who to
take, and then we get orders to burn every barn.
every stack of grain, and then start the people.
We go out in squads of ten a dozen, and the
way we ride is caution You see the most Of

to man, winked he, . and their husbands and
brothers and sons are in with the rebs. but for
all that its hard when the women come out on
their knees crying and praying. and the children
clinging to en-.
''But, said he, = it : good deal harder to
get on the road, and right along by the side of
the woods find your own brother hanging to a
tree, with his cars. his and his lips cut off,
as | did mine, last week. If these devils would
only come out in clear day and fight US, we
DO them, and not murder us, they never would
have had their country cleaned out as we have
been forced to do This man had kept a diary
for two years, in which the events of each day
had been entered. War, all agreed, was a
terrible thing but there are greater evils than
that even.
REMARKING on a little fruit articlc published
in the JOURNAL two weeks ago the Red Bluff IN
dYepdent says:
There must be good sprinkling of the Yam
kec element in Trinity county, by the enterprise
displayed in planting fruit trees. Il the Trinity
people raise their own fruit. the people of Teha-
ma ought to be ashamed to depend upon for
cign market
Our editorial friend who dwels in the low
lands is right in relation to a good sprnkling
of Yankees" And wherever you find a Yankee
possessed of little spot of ground, you find
fruit trees. 1t don't hurt the feelings of about
one half the population of this county to be call
ed . Yankees, Bishop.

Mrs. Partington, throwing down the newspaper

But this imposterous idea of maxim slop-work

A Picture in Water-COiOrs.
BY MILES GREELEY

Twas a bright expanse Of water
Where the Quaker's gentle daughter
Every Sunday morning sought her
Bath Of beauty light and grace;
Quite Il fleet of drifted lilies
Danced above the mimic pillows.
And a screen of dropping willows
Curtained close the bathing-place.
In my skif at random floating,
Rod and line but little noting
All what subtle charm had boating
Since the batting place was known!
/ across the lake was drifted.
While with life my fancy gifted
Every lily shoulder lifted
White and dimplcd as her own.
"Ah how clear'' l muttcred, eying
Many colored pebble lying
Far below. and vainly trying
On some book to fix my thought:
"Now some good breeze hither wingng,
Set yon silver curtain swinging
Goodness tn the batler bringing
But the good breeze answered not.
Homeward DER the meadows tripping,
All the luveier for her dipping,
Soon ! saw the maiden skipping.
Who said grayely. when We met:
Friend, thuurt fonlly strange Of boating !"
And my weak heart qualel on noting
The malicious laughter floating
In the eyes of my eoquette.

JOE HOOKER ~ T@AEs.-In the great Union
procession at Springfield Ill.,, Just before the cleo
ton, were n;nety-thrce two-horse wagons, loaded
with wood. 1t was dumped in pile for distri-
button to soldiers families Gen. Joe Hooker,
while riding up from the depot met the process

wood wagons. Why, where can the farmers
find market for such an immense quantity OF
fuel asked the hero. . Oh General, it is a
part of our procession. Every stick of that is
going to the families Of soldiers in the army.
The tears gathered in IIooker's eyes-trembled a
moment, then ran down the cheeks bronzed in q

of Dec. 10th
MAKING A RECoRD.--We informed that
lIobrook, the delegate to Congress, recently
elected by the people of Idaho Territory, to rep
resent their interests there, one day last week.
while journeying between Walla Walla and Lew
iston, in the stage, got into political discussion
with cid gentleman, fellow-traveler, and
being hard pressed for argument, answered as
persons generally do who have got to the end Of
their string by asking = If you arc in favor of
the war, why didn't you stay and fight - The
old gentleman answered - had better thing
in coming out here to take care of your kind
The Hon. Delegate Immediately jumped up from
his seat and drew his pistol, saying he was . on
it," The old gentleman saying that he was his
y style, also drew pistol. The driver, seeing
that matters had reached climax, drew his six
shooter and commanded a cessation of HOSTILE
ties, swearing that he would kill the first man
that offered to fire. Comment is unnecessary.
Our informant an old citizen Of Lewiston, says
that the people Of Idaho are like the boy that
bought the lottery ticket-they have drawn the
elephant, and as it's of no use, they are puzzled
to know what to do with it.
