PICTURES OF THE BATTLES ITALY.-Our Paris
correspondent writes that the earlier battles, en-
gagements, receptions and skirmishes of the cam
paign, have been cheaply and popularity done on
wood and stone, at from one to six sous the copy,
by the brush or accompanyipp letter press. The
swarm OF new illustrated Journals, devoted to re-
cord OF the war; that have sprung to life atterly is
almost numberless. Gustave D0re has done the
Montebello on an enormous scale for photography
Horace Vernet has gone down to the scene of that
combat to reproduce it on canvass. Previously to
the battle Of Magenta photographers were sent for
from Paris. Now that it is fought and won, Yom
much superior artist to Vernet, has gone down to
the ground to make his studies for an official histor
ical picture.-Netc York Tribune.

The astion Of the H,use to-day, in laying the
Nebraska contested election case on the table,
leaves Mr.. Ferguson, the sitting Delegate, in his
stS..
The admission Of Oregon has occupied most of
the time of the House to day. By general consent,
the vote sill be taken on Saturday. There will be
no party vote on the bill, as about fifteen Replbi-
cans will vote TO admit her-some because she
comes with Constitution without Slavery; about
twenty Southern members, it is reported tonight,
will vote against her admission becsuse she comes
as Free State; the South Americans will vo.e
against her because Of the provisions in her
Constitution concerning the elective franchise;
a large majority of the Republicans will vote
sgainst her because her Constitution recognizes the
Dred Sect Decision. Mr.. Grow made forciblo
speech agsinst the admission, on the ground that
Kansas is not allowed to come in on the same
terms aad because To ADMIT Oregon with her
preseLt Constitution would be telling the world
that our boasted Republcanism consists in denying
To whole class of men born on American soil
protection of life, person and property ia our
Courts Of Justice because they are poor despised
and friendless- that such Republicanism would be
the realization Of the bsrbari,m described by the
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court in which
portion Of the people have rights that the other
portion IA bound to respect. The proposition of
Nr. Davis Of Indisns, to recomuit the bill, with
Instructions to insert provision repeating the
PoPu'ston clause in the Kansas Conference bill,

Buchanan; that through the agency of certain
tfielals high in power, Swift has since obtained
nearly oil the contracts made for supplying the

tracts amount to about 100000. The evidence
