To us up here in the mountains, which
form the border land lbetween Italy, Sweden
anu the Iyrol, come almost daily echoes Of
tue lighting going on In the valleys between
ne khaetian Alps and the Lago di Garda.
Or these the three main arteries leading from
Italy to the Tyrol are-{1) the Valtellfne, or
valley Of the AIDA, terminating In the pass

(S( the valley Of the chiesc, By mounting
which you get into the Italfan Tyrol by the
lake Of !dro and Rocca d'Aufro, almost on q
Level; without crossing any pass At all. If
Alps to The Adriatic, is to be realized, ahat
Italy must certainly include tho Trentino and
the lower valley Of the Adise, which most
Enthusiastically lie to the South Of th3 Alps.
The first OF these three above mentioned
vn1leys--the Valtelline-was on Wednesday
last, July II, the scene Of hard tussle be-
tween battalion Of the modified National
Guard Of the Va1tellinc, aided by the Gus
tom House Guard and d mixed body Of Kali
ser-Jager and Tyrolese volunteers, who de-
scended from Bormio aud their cyrie Of Fer
dinlns-hohe, on the summit Of the stelyio,
with the object Of driving tho Italians from
point called lie Prcse, lower down the
Stelvio, and commanding the lateral pass Of
Mortlrolo, leading from the Valtal1ine to the
val Camouica. Tie combat, which began at
H., and resulted brilliantly for the Italians,
who not only recovered Bormio, but pushed
the enemy back up the Stc1vio as far rs
Spondalurga, and the second CantonIcra, or
refugc-housc on the Stclvio road. Some
seventy prisoncrs--all kaiser-Jaser-rcmain-
loss consisted in six wounded, willie that Of
the enemy is known to have been very con-
siderable. The SUCCESS ofthc day seems to have
been mainly owing to the skllfull disposition
Of his men by Major Guicciardi, and 10 brill
liant feat on the part Of d body OF Italians,
who, after difficult climb across snow and
ice, descended upon the rear of the Austrians
from mn overhangtng g1azfer. Surely these
