THE LAST RUN.-The last run of Sal
mon-Trout and Salmon fish for this season,
has commenced, and great numbers of them
are making their way up the Walla Walla
river and its numerous tributary branches
Some of these fish have been taken out Of
the little branch which runs through the
east end of town, measuring over two feet
in length. The most surprising feature
about the matter is the fact that the water
in the branch is but three or four inches
deep and the big fish have not only to con-
tend against this odds-with their backs
sticking oct in the eold-but in order to
get within the city limits they have to
climb up through the Mandatory works, in
the lower part of town-a feat which has
puzzled the brains of the "oldest inhabitant"
to account for in rational way. He says
they climb through at night when no one is
watching, but we can't see that this helps
to throw any light upon the subject. This
matter deserves profound investigation by
our "mock Legislature.

The SITUATION AT THE SOUTH
WEsr.-U Upon reaching the Tennessee
River from the field Of Cickamauga
Rosecrans addressed his troops -
"Fellow-soldiers-tLe object Of our
expedition was the possession Of Chat
tanooga-and here we are" Brief
aud to The point, forcible, true, and
alIoit. Thus far tue campailn,
whose mysterious surges are rolling
above us, has no clearer, as it certain
~ cannot have a more laconic, history.
The few words Of the Federal Gener-
al illuminate the whole page as a ray
from a dark lantern, and no man can
close his eyes to the somewhat painill
glare which they throw full upon it.
Not even Gen. Bragg himself can
contradict them except with his sword
aud such strokes as it may please
Heaven to send US through his hands
in the few days of fair weather just
before US. Unless we make hay
while the sun shines, the story as thus
told will hold good through all time ;
the Spring will open untoward dang
gers 10 our arms the cause which
now turns upon the pivot Of lis crisis
will droop like flower which has
been INTENDED, and the end must fade
ont of sight in rolling torrent Of dis
aster--in fogs and glooms. God for
bid it!
At present the case stands about in
this wise We have lost the gate al
lower East Tennessee--the river,
which was our base, and the facilities
which these afforded for progressive
movements into Middle Tennessee aud
Kentucky. We have gained hand
to-hand fight; We have repelled a
powerful invasion we have preserved
Georgia and secured a commanding
position around the enemy Rose
crans, on the other hand, has gained
all we have lost. He has seized Chat
tanooga and fortified it, taken up the
river line a. his base, and now pre-
pares 10 Winter quietly in his new
quarters, leaving US unciyily OUT in the
cold to take care Of ourselves as best
we can or must. Physically, and 10
all appearances, in the aggregate, he
i the gamer, and after the prisoners,
artillery and standards, taken at Chick
amauga, are counted, our victory Is
told, while our defct to tile long sum
total, glory included, is n sct-oti to
make up for any results yet achieved.
In word, we have lost ten or twelve
thousand men, without receiving an
equivalent in producing territory
The whole question turns, therefore,
upon the situation, and what we will
do with it.---Daiiy Retel, Oct. 9h.
