FORCED.
Oregon to Be Protected gainst Pail of
Smoke. and Sheep Kept From

The department of the interior al
Washington last summer published a
notice calling the attention of the pub.
lie to the fac that immense areas oi
public fores are annually destroyed by
fire. origin ng. in many instances,
through tn arelessness of proepectors,
campers, aanters, sheep-herders and
others; while in many instances the fires
are started with malicious intent.
Warning was given that the origin of
all forest fires would be carefully inves-
tigated, and, where the fire is ascertain :
ed have originated through careleseness
or design, the persons implicated Will be
prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
The public generally was requested to
aid the officers of the government in
tneir effort to check~the evils referred to
and in the punishment of all such Of
tenders.
The act of congress, approved Febru-
ary "a, 1897, provides that any person
who willfully or maliciously sets fire to
timber or underbrush on the public do
main, or carelessly leaves fire to burn

ble material, shall be deemed guilty of
misdemeanor, and, upon conviction
thereof, shall be fined not more than
So 900 or be imprisoned not more than
two years, or both. Any person who
builds campfire, or other fire, in or
near any forest, timber, or other inham-
aele material on the public domain, and
tails before breeking camp or leaving
said fire to totally extinguish the same,
shall be fined not more than $1,000 or be
imprisoned not more than one year, or
both.
The fines collected shall be paid into
the public school fund of the county in
which the lands where the offense was
committed are situated.
Capt. S. B. Ormsby. of Salem, was
appointed forest supervisor for this state,
and Mr.. Dufur, superintendent for the
nortern district. They, with their gang
of forest rangers, have been instructed
by Binger Hermann, commissioner of
the general land Office, to make every
effort to check the fires or punish the
offenders.
The commissioner, mindful of the fact
that the water supply of Portland would
be greatly damaged ifeheep were herd
ed on the watershed of Bull Run lake
and river, has instructed them to keep
sheep out of all portions of the Bull
Run reserve and that portion of the Cas-
cade reserve north of the Barlow road
and west OF the east fork of Hood River.
Between the Barlow road and the east
fork, the boundary line extends from
the point where the road crosses Summit
creek northeasterly about elk miles to
the east of the east fork of Hood river.
Capt. Ormsby has recently had this line
marked by blazes on the trees, two or
three rods apart. He will be very care
full to prevent any roaming sheep-herder
with his flock from trespassing within
the limits described.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In the issue

under command of Col. David III. Moore, of

occasional artillery shot announced that the
battle was on, and the sounds told US that the
enemy was driving our army down the
Valley.
Our little brigade remained at its post,
isolated for a short time, but finally fell back,
following the receding sound of battle. on the
flank of our army, in a. dense fog, and bearing
toward the Valley pike, struck it north of
Middletown
Skirmishers were deployed, but ordered to
be careful upon whom they fired, because
some of the Eighth Corps men were still es-
Gaping from the enemy and coming out
through the fog that still hung over that part
of the field. At this time our army was
terribly broken up, demOralized and going
rapidly to the rear.
Our skirmish- line was soon relieved and
joined their csmmand at the foot of the hill
north of Middletown on the left of the pike
Our position here was most admirable one
in every way, because the enemy at that time
could not bring their musketry and artillery
to bear on US.

the cavalry moved back and formed line on
the left of the pike opposite to or little in
advance of the line of Getty's Division of the
Sixth, whose left rested on the right of the
pike, while our brigade occupied the extreme
left of the cavalry line.
While forming this line the Johnnies gave
US warm reception with their batteries on
the bill above Middletown, killing and
wounding a number of men and horses.
About O'Clock in the afternoon our entire
line-of- battle advanced ON the enemy, and
the fight opened briskly; but after advancing
a short distance our brigade was taken off the
line and moved eastward seven OF eight miles
to the pike leading from Winchester to Front
Royal, and there went into camp two or three
days, and then returned to our old camp near
Front Royal.

and in what direction the Confederates ap-
preached the pioket-line on the morning of
the 10Th. He said, as near as he could aseer-
tain, they came down the north bank of the
Shenandoah, about O'Clock in the morn
ing, and when our pickets halted them and
asked, "Who comes there?" one of them said,
. We are Confederates, and want to surrender
we are tired of this war"
' How many are there of you?"
'About twenty"
Our pickets at once surmised something
wrong, and said, "You cannot surrender
to us" But the Johnnies insisted on sur
rendering" and finally our piekets fired on
them and fell back a short distance
They soon discovered the enemy flanking
them, and fell back to our regiment on
the hill, which at this time was in line wait
ing for orders.
1t was about O'Clock in the morning, and
the picket-firing on our right at intervals was
sharp; soon it became general. Finally

volleys which set them thinking that they
had an elephant on their hands
When we left this position in the morning,
not a shot was fred at US and as we passed out
and along the ravine under the range of the
artillery every gun opened on them, and you
can imagine how long those sand-bags re-
mained on the embankment.
The failure of this charge no doubt showed
our commander that we should have to come
down TO regular siege, and so the army
settled down to business after this.
The history of that long siege is always
interesting if we'll written. We were proud
when this Gibraltar of the West had at last
surrendered, and we marched in and put our
old torn battle-hag on the Courthouse

HOW THE NEGROES REGARDED SHERMAN.
Gen. A. Baird wrote the following to
Hon. Gerrit Smith, Peterboro. \. Y,
from Savannah, Ga, in January, 1865:
My DEAR SIR: You have heard, |
know, Of our occupation Of this place,
and many Of the incidents connected
with it must be familiar TO you, but
there is one which | wish you could
have witnessed. | chanced on two or
three consecutive DAYS after our arrival
TO be in Gen. Sherman's rooms when he
was receiving the negroes Of the place.
Poor creatures! they came to bin as
their deliverer, and one black preacher
told him, like Simeon in the Bible, he
had prayed for this day, and all he now
wanted was to see Mr.. Lincoln. Some
of them wanted TO kneel before him,
but the General would not permit it,
and told them they must not kneel 10
any one but their Maker.
TO the white rebels, particularly
those in high official positions, swelling,
as they are apt TO do, with their own
self-importance, Sherman is rot con-
ciliatory. He tells them plainly of
their crime and Of the penalties which
they must expect, and his treatment is
the same Of those who attempt to shield
themselves under the garb Of foreign
allegiance or foreign official position !;
but to these humble creatures, overflow
ing with gratitude to God and to him,
he was a different person, all kindness
and goodness. He detained them with
him. and their simple talk seemed to
give him a pleasure which | have not
seen him display in his intercourse with
those of more pretension.
While | was withhim negro recruit
ing officer came in to exhibit his papers.
The General did not encourage him, and
the other blacks present at once appealed
TO the General 10 know whether they
were all liable 10 be conscripted and
carried of, as armed parties were then
circulating through the city, selling
every one they could, doubtless to specu-
late upon the bounties offered by the
Government.
Gen. Sherman at once dispatched his
staff officers to put a stop to this outrage,
and told the negroes that they were now
free, that they must look for their living,
and that. if they chose to enter the army
and fight they could do SO, but should
not be compelled to enlist or be treated
otherwise than white men were; and
that, so far as his feelings were con-
cerned, he would rather for some time
yet use them as laborers and pioneers
than as soldiers.
You and ], who have been Abolition

years. since 1884, and you longer
