l SHERMAN AND THE ENGINEERS. - General Sherman is not always, as carefu as he might be in what he writes and says, and his carelessness sometimes results in in- justice. A specimen of this is in his last an- nual report, where he says: q will concede to the engineers all they ask, but when war comes the engineer naturally takes to maneuvering and to parapets, whereas the infantry, cavalry and artillery must go in and do the fighting. It was so in 1872, in 184G and in 1861-5
 The officers of the engineer corps are nat urally indignant at what they deem an un- soldierly attack made upon them by General Sherman. The Washington correspondent of the Boston Adyertiser champions their cause, and shows how unjust General Sher- mans remarks about the fighting qualities of the engineers were. From the engineer corps during the last war among the com manders of armies were Mcclellan. Meade, McPherson, Pope, Rosecrans, Halleck and Foster. Among the well known corps com manders were Humphreys, Parke, Warren, Weitzel, Franklin, Baldy Smith, Gilmore, Wright and J. H. Wilson. Of the division commanders there were Newton, Mansfield, Emory and Stevens. The correspond ent says: ''The naming of these gen. tlemen recalls the entire war, and if this is list of officers who took to para pets,' history has yet to record it of many of them. Meade under fire at Gettysburg, McPherson killed in saving Sherman at Atlanta, Pope fighting at close range at Corinth, Rosecrans riding the lines at Stone river, none of these came within reach of the insinuation covered by the term taking to parapets.' In the same way the names of corps commanders are synonomous with some of the heaviest fighting of the war, and if General Sherman remembered nothing else he might have recalled the time ly arrival of Parke at Vicksburg, General Mansfield mortalIy wounded at the head of his division at Antietam, General J. J. Ste vens killed in action at Chantilly, General Putnam killed at the storming of Fort Wag ner. Such are few more notable instances of taking to parapets' by officers of engi neers in the late war. General J. H. Wilson, the gallant and able cavalry commander, was a most distinguished example of oae who did not take to parapets. :"
 This list shows that the engineer corps has no reason to be ashamed of its fighting rec ord, and General Sherman will doubtless find some way to undo the effect of his careless uordc

HECK
PERFECT BAKING POWDER,
A FAIR TEST.

To the Editor of the Journal 6 Courier.
 Sir:-The contract for supplying the United States government with seventy-tive thousand (75, 5,OOO) lbs. of Baking Powder during the en- suing year has been awarded to Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder, it having been tested by Dr. Ed ward G. Love, analytical chemist for the government, and recom- mended by him for it's excellence and because it contained higher percentage of gas (which means it will make lighter bread and bis cuiD than either the "Royal'' or the other cream tartar baking powders which he examined. The samples analysed by Dr. Love were furnished by the government com- missiOners, and were without the manufacturer's label or name. and designated with a number known only to the commissioners.
 It will thus be seen that when Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder is submitted to an impartial test it's superiority is acknowledged. and the popular verdict so emphaf- ica1Iy expressed in it's favor is fully sustained,

Hydraulic mining is 8 serious damage to farming interests in California. The total damage to farming lands by the sand and gravel washed from the mountains by the hy- draulic miner is estimated at $16, ,OOO OGO
 This represents 40, ,OO0 acres of land rendered entirely worthles and 27O, 991 acres mads par tialIy so In addition. must be reekoned the speculative losses and the losses from non production, as well as the depreciation of the valuation of the city of Marysville, nearly $2 1000, 900 in the past 25 years. Per contra, the loss to the miners by an injunction on their operations, calculating upon the basis of the market value of the half dozen mines involved, would be $s, ,250,O 900. One of these mines has produced $11, ,ooO, 900 in gold dur ing it's working existence. In the in- yestigation of this subject some in- teresting facts were brought out concerning the worlds annual gold production, which is annually decreasing. Reaching it's maximum in 1852, when $160,- GOO, 900 were mined, the output in 1880 was but $1o2, ,OOO, GOO, and the present year it is likely to be under $1O0, GOO, 900. The annual gold yield of the California hydraulic mines is now at the rate of about $12 1000, 900, or
 one-eighth of the gold product of the world.

The Labor Question.

EDITOR GAZETTE: There is one important phase
of the labor question l have not yet seen venti-
lated, namely: the planters should study modes
and means to work our present help to better ad-
vantage, so that one man would be able to do as
much work as two, three more of our present
rather inferior laborers now perform at the same
time work no harder, but more skilfully and more
inteiligently
1t may readily be seen that should such posi-
BILE thing be accomplished our present supply OF
laborers would perform as much work as double
the number working under their present difficulty !;
and they would have much developing power as
though another amount of laborers equalling our
present number should be imported, and at much
less expense The expense, well the short sup
ply of laborers, are both now Questionable.
1t would be a great accomplishment to either
import laborers equalling our present number or
TO train up our present supply to perform with
ease double the work they nov do. But as both
are surely within the range of possibility, and as
the latter partakes most of civilization and
promises the best results in profits etc, all should
exert them selves 10 see what could be accom-
plished in that direction-supplying the workmen
with the best known tools and then teaching them
how to use them to the best advantage and how to
keep them in order. Shovels hoes etc. come
under this head. These seem simple implements
of which to recommend skilful handling. whan it
is believed by those unacquaiuted with their
various uses that strength and stubbonness are
the only essentials in their use, which is great
mistake. sword is also simple instrument /;
but great execution be done with one If welded
by scientific swordsman, when but bungling
work would be done by one unacquainted with
its use. farm implements should be sxilfully
handled to bring out the best results For e1-
ample one planter drops his cane seed and covers
it by few hacks with the hoe-oRs man covering
for one dropper. Another planter, by using his
hoe in certain way, converts it into small pillow
and covers with it equally well all the cane seed
that three men can drop; Il us, by skilful use of
the hoe, saving the labor of two men out of every
three thus employed. Workmen may be taught to
work more skIlfully even where no tool is used
l have seen this done in the simple process of
stripping tops of cane for seed One planter strips
at time, which is a very slow and tedious pro-
cess. He then cuts off much of the top end as
is unfit for seed Another planter cuts off the top
end before stripping, leaving only three-fourths as
much stalk to strip. Then, with the assistance of
short butcher knife, pocket knife or some other
contrivance, the seed from its covering as
quickly and In similar manner that husks are re-
moved from an ear of corn thus saving at least
the labor of one man out of every two employed in
stripping cane seed.
l shall have something further to say on this
subject in future. JIM. Il.
