Portrait or Hon. Amos KENDALL.—At the establishment of Mr. Markriter’s, on 7th street, may be seen a remarkably fine likeness of the late Mr. Kendall. It was painted to the order of Mr. William Stickney, by Huntington, of New York, 80 long President of the Academy of Design, and may properly be classed, both on account of the faithful resemblance and its artistic execution, as one of the very best works of art in the city of Washington. We venture to hope it may some day be duplicated for the Corcoran Gallery, or for one of the institutions of the city of which the distinguished original was in his lifetime so hberal a patron. Pouiticat.—The following Congressional dis- ylor’s (contested): ‘ thirteenth—Mercur’s ma- jority 311; sixteenth—Cesena’s majority 144, | Cifcular to the twenty-first—Covode’s majority 825. ‘The democrats have nominated Judge A. in the ninth Missouri dis- probably be elected, as the re- two candidates in the ficld— and Edwin Draper.

LAST NIGHT'S TALEGSI“S, The following items of war news were re- ceived herp by cable last night : THE RECENT BATTLE SOUTH OP PaRIis. Loxpon, Oct. 3—The prefect of the Depart- ment of Nord telegraphs to the government the iollowing French account of the recent battle Bouth of Paris. His di tober 2d:—* 1 have a dispatch from Paris, re- cetved by a carrier pigeon, ispatch is dated Lille, Oc- d dated Septem- r 90th, giving the following detaile:—‘Cur nsive, and & moissance in force was made. We occupied ely Neville and L’Hay, and advanced s and Choisy le Koi. All these places ly occupied by the Prussians, who were entrenched and protected by cannon. After a short engagement, in which artillery and muskets were used, our troops retired in good order to the protection ot Forts Bicetre and D'Irey. The Mobiles behaved admirably. Our losses were considerable, as were those of the enemy.’”” This dispatch is si ‘Jrochu.- Another account from Paris says that the French lost i igned by Gen. he engagement of Sept. 30th "0 killed and wounded. Among the wounded ed prisoners most silent on Saturday and Sunday. THE SITUATION IN PAKIS. Paris, Sept. 27, via London, Oct. 3.—The Parisians are calm and pursue their usual occu pations, but with arms al 8 at hand that they may be ready for service at the first tap of the drum. The soldiers charged with cowardice in the recent engagement have been disgraced and otherwise punished. . VIEWS OF THE EMPRE A dispatch from the Bmpress to the Emperor, forwarded after the first two battles, has been discovered and published. She says“ Pietri's dispatch has been received,” and adds: ‘Have bod considered the consequence of s return to ‘aris under the blow of two reverses? I decline the responsibility of advising you. If you have decided, would it not be better to have it stated to the country thus: ‘The Emperor retarns to Paris to reorganize the second army, provision- ally entrust: ne, the command-in-chief of the army of the Khine to Marshal Bazaine \’” TELEGRAMS FROM TOURS. Tours, Oct. 3.—An official decree has been issued for the purpose of enforcing discipline and order. The most rigorous measures have been taken with that view. Courts-martial will replace councils of war during the continuance of the war. There will be no revisions of and no te alterations in sentences pronounced by courts- martial. Admiral Fourichon has resigned the portfolio of war, but remains in the cabinet as the head of the navy. M. Cremieux acts as delegated minister of war in place of Fourichon, resigned. FAVRE AND BISMARCK AGAIN. Lonpon, Oct. 3.—Jules Fayre having asked Count Bismarck, in the name of the diplomatic body, for permission to send a weekly courier from Paris and to have notice when the bom. bardment will commence, received an answer from the Count refusing the latter request on the ground that it was an unmilitary procesd- ing, but conceded the former, in case the con- tents of the dispatches forwarded are unobjec- tionable. Count Bismarck, however, in his re- ply, questions the propriety of conducting plo- dip matic nego iatio: 8 trom the heart ef a belea- guered city. This latter idea is obviously that of neutral powers who had removed their rep- resentatives to Tours. ANOTHEK CIRCULAR FROM BISMARCK, ETC. BERLIN, (ct. 3.—Count Bismarck has issued a ‘russian resident ministers abroad. He insists that the conditions of the proposed armistice were moderate. The French. he says, declined them, together with the offered opportunity of free elections to the Constituent Assembly in the departments held by the Prus- sians, which the latter believes would have favored peace. A dispatch from Colmar, a few miles below Strasburg, dated Sunday, says that another body of Germans has crossed the Khine, and is now moving ou Mulhouse. Another body ix near Schestadt “nd Neufchateau. A corps of 10,000 German. is now forming at Toul. This torce is designed co operate against Lyons. RUSSIA PACIFIC.

Uct. Special to the New York ¢ World.}—The World's special correspondent at Ostend telegraphs that the Duke of Nassau was killed on the 24th while riding with the King of Prussia and stafl from Rheims to Chalons tor the purpose of conferring with Prince Freder- ick Charles. In the thickest part of the woods there suddenly rang out a doubie volley of mus- ketry from an ambuscade of Franco-tireurs. The third carriage, containing the Duke and staff, was riddled with bullets. de-camps was instantly killed, tally wounded, and the Duke also. The tifth carriage, containing the King, was struck by several balls. Noone washit. The woods were scoured by. cavalry, without any result. The ne of the aid- ‘was mor- Duke died on Sunday. A New York Times correspondent at Frank- fort writes on the 2d inst. that si: is nota- bly increasing in the Prussian army. Lar, numbers of invalid soldiers are constantly di- rected to the east. ROME, Rome, Oct. 3.—It is reported that in conse- quence of the vote of the Leonine city having been cast unanimously for the rulership of Vic- tor Emanuel, the Pope will take up his resi- dence in Malt ita. Loypon, Oct. 3.—Archbishop Manning. in his sermon at the Westminster Cathedral on Sun- day, likened Victor Emanuel to P tius Pilate.
