The idea of burning down a tree six
or eight feet in diameter, and solid and
green, would have seemed to be as
simply absurd and ridiculous. But the
thing is done in Oregon every day at q
vast saving of time and labor The
operation is done in this wise:
A hole is bored into the trees horizontally,
the nearer the center the be ter. Iheu dI-
r. city under this hole another is bored at
an angle of elevat on such that the holes
meet together near the center of the tree.
A coal OF fire with little kindliDg Is intro
ducel into the orifce thus rmed, and the
upper one performs the functions Of Chin
ney. The heart of the tree is dry and con-
tains a C, nsiderable amount Of pitch, and
when manipulated as / have described,
burns briskly.
I. is 2. neral!y necessary to feed this fire
wi 4 some fresh fuel from time 10 time. But
one man can keep large number Of trees
thus burning, and will get twenty or q hun
dred trees down thus much quicker and
easier than re could otherwise do. In a
similar manner, when the tree is cut down,
il is cut into pieces by being burned in two.
A hoe is bored into the log from the top,
and another from the side, til they meet as
before described, when the perpend .culaT
hole acts as a hue aud the hor izontal OGe
furnishes the draught. IL often happens
that in burning large tree into lengths, for
saw logs, there is not m To timber wasted
than would result Gom choPp ng Of the log
with an Ak.

Admission of COLORADO

The Senate has passed the bill for
the admission Of Colorado. Mr.. Sum
ner opposed and voted against it, be-
cause the proposed new State has denied
the right Of suffrage to persons OF color.
The new Senator from Vermont also
voted against it, and, we suppose, for
the same reason. Colorado has, we be-
lieve, but about thirty thousand lnhab

see adopted resolution, as the legis'
Iative reports had it, requesting the
President Of the United States to have
JEFF Davis and other rebel chiefs tried
and hung The resolution came up
yesterday in the House, and one mer-
ciful member, having no desire to see
these sinners lose their lives unless du-
ly convicted of crime, offered an
amendment suggesting that they should
not be hung unless so convicted. The
ravenous radicals voted this down. and
adopted the resolution without change.

On the 30th Of March last a soldier Of the
u. S. Infantry, in Mobile, Ala, murdered a
comrade Of the same regiment. Stree the
Presidents peace proc amation, his case
came before court martial in Mobile. The
court decides that as courts martial ave
jurisdiction over such offences only during
the existence Of the rebellion, and as TIE
Proclamation deelsrsd it at an eud, they
d not try the case. The matter was re-
ferred TO msj. Gen. r. W. johnson, IN TIA 5
city, who in his turn referred it 70 Assistant
Judge Adv, cate General Dunn, a. Louis
vile. Judge Advocate Dunn decides, the
proc amati0n did not declare the rebellion
al an end.-NashUiIe Dispatch.
So much for Judge Advocate Dunn.
Now, let US see what the proclamation
declares. We quote:
Now, therefore, (, Andrew johnson. Presi-
dent Of the United States, do hereby pro-
clam aud dec'are that tie insHrTscti0H tchica

Be 50 regarded.
Tie Judge Advocate, a subordinate
officer, it will be seen, runs counter 20
the order OF his superior, the command
er-in-chief Of the Army and Navy. The
language Of the Proclamation Is plain
and unmistakable The instruction
which heretofore existed in alabama" is
"at an end"
This is an anomalous condition OF
things. How long does the President
intend to submit 10 the insult of hav.
ing his orders overslaughed and dis
obeyed by subordinAtes?
