BROTHERHOOD OF LOCOMOTIVE ENGI-
NEERs.-Our friend II. c. Sheet has re-
turned from a visit to Memphis and Chat
tanooga, where he has been organizing
Divisions of the Association. The Mem
phis Apaldache of the 2Sth says:
We are glad to learn that our honored
friend ii. c. Sheetz, chief engineer of the
Nashville division of the national order.
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. has
visited this city, and organized a Memphis
lodge. 1t was organized on Saturday night
last, with a list of fifteen Of our best and
most skillful engineers, the selected officers
of which we will publish in a few days"
The Chattanooga Union, Of yesterday,
saws:
Mr.. II. c. Sheetz, T. G. A. F., of
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engineers and
Chief Engineer of Nashville Division,
No. %, has been in our city for the past
two days for the purpose of yisiting and
instructing Chattanooga Division No Ga
in the revised work Of the order. This
Division is composed Of the best engineers
running into our city, J. I. Maloney, Of
the Nashville and Chattanooga railroad,
as Chief Engineer"
The object of the Association is thus
given.
We also find an article in the Journal
from the pen of Chief Engineer Sheetz,
from which we extract the following clear
and sensible paragraph:
Great is the responsibility Of the pro-
fession, when taken in all It's particulars;
but / am sorry 10 say very few attach anv
importance TO it, The simple handling Of
a reverse lever, the opening and closing Of
the throttle valve, and a proper use of the
pumps, does not make or constitute a COM
petent locomotive engineer. IL requires
more; knowledge Of machinery and its
application is important Experience
teaches great deal. Percepubility is
necessary. Resolution, caution, reve-
renee Of laws, discretion and temper
auce, are all attributes Of a good en-
gineeer, and are essential TO the careful
distribution of the lives and property en-
trusted y their care, TO the proper destina-
ten. Not like the steamboat engineer, who
works his engines by the sound Of bells,
and has his craft landed al the proper place
by the rudder in the hands of a pilot No,
the locomotive engineer is his own pilot.
lie alone is responsible for the manner in
"hich he drives his fiery steed from place
10 place and must always look ahead that
no INSTRUCTIONS take him unavares, or i'm
Pede ms progress. To has standard all
engineers OF the order will rise. il they
follow the precepts laid down for their
guidance. Let our motto be pro bono p,blico.
and ere long our Brotherhood will gsin the
appreciation of travelling world"
