PRtcAtTIoS ExTRAoRDISKRY, AGAINsT SEcEs-
sIox.-Col. Dirty George B. Curry, late COM
mander of this military department, was ex-
tremely alarmed, or pretended to be, that Walla
Walla was in great danger Of going over to Dix
lie, and in order to prevent such a dire calamity
be, with characteristic wisdom, ordered the
abandonment of the Fort. All the troops were
ordered away with the exception of some six or
eight-they being too sick to travel. From afar
of, some place in ye land of Webfoot Colonel
Dirty-ye hero of the squaw ambuscade noto-
riety-calmly awaited the, issue of this great
strategic movement. As might be expected,
this grand combination against the Walla Wal
la secessiouists proved too formidable for their
wicked intentions, and they incontinently
cnved. How could they do else when such a
mdgteT of the military science as Col. Dirty had
enveloped them in his glorious web? 1t is
enough, for the present, to say taat since Col.
Dirty accomplished this military movement
we have not beard word about "secesh hole, d"
"Walla Walla secessonists, etc., etc. The in
ference is, that Col. Dirty's absence has brought
about this peaceful and pleassrt state of things.
The presence of such commanders promotes
the disorgnnization of society aud tends fear
sfully toward bloodshed aud violence. Their ab-
sence indicates return of peace and harmony
