Neutrality.
Washington, July 25.—The report of the Commit
tee on Foreign Affairs submitted to the House by Gen.
Banks, favors the repeal of ths neutrality laws and the
enactment of others in conformity with the laws of
nations and the practice of other powers towards our
selves. It claims payment from Great Britain for
property ’destroyed by privateers fitted out frond
British ports, and says while we prefer peace to war,
and find our advantage in maintaining peace as
against war, this preference is no longer from neces
sity. If we are compelled to choose between the sacri
fice of our rights and an appeal to the aibitration of
war, there can be no doubt about the decision. We
can no longer stand bail for the peace of the world; we
have stood good for other nations long enough.
It accuses England of countenancing the rebellion,
and speaks of the suppression of the Fenian invasion
of Canada &9 better treatment than England had a
right to expect. It alludes to Irishmen as a race
which has suffered for centimes inexcusable aud in
effaceable wrongs, and asserts that the American peo
ple believe that England owes reparation to Ireland.
The intervention of our Government in the Fenian
campaign against Canada is therefore proof of its
fidelity to obligations supposed to be due to other
nations. It ought to satisfy the world that we have
neither interest nor desire to disturb the peace of
the world.

of cure is as follows:
“When a man is seized with the cholera he should

a very short time thp coveted reaction will occur. Or
dinarily, in two, three or four hours, abundant per-

“The preventive method," writes Dr. Rubini, “is this
let those who are iu good health, while living iu ac
cordance with their usual habits, take every day five
drops of the saturated spirits of camphor upon a small
lump of sugar (water must never be used as a me

Resolved, That the States are essential parts of onr
system of government, aud to them, or to the people
thereof, belongs all political power not specifically
granted to the National Government, and not essen
tial to the due exercise of the powers specifically
granted to it; that national safety is only assured
while this wise distribution of power is observed and
respected, and auy successful encroachment by either
on the rights of the other is the inauguration of dis
order and disintegration on the one side, or central
ization on the other; and either is alike fotal to the
system itself.
Resolved. That amemg. the powers reserved to the
States, or the people thereof, is that of prescribing the
social relations of their inhabitants, respectively, and
of determining to whom it is safe and proper to con
fide the elective franchise: any attempt by the nation
al government to obstruct them iu the free enjoyment
of those rights, or to coerce their exercise iu any par
ticular direction, is a dangerous usurpation, which
ought to receive public aud universal condemnation.
Resolved, That the constitution of the United States,
by its recent amendment, having declared the abolish
ment of African slavery, it has become our duty to
favor, and we do favor, all legisiatiou necessary and
proper to give effect to that declaration, and protect
the negro in the enjoyment of his freedom aud per
sonal rights ; but we protest against all attempts to
excavation in the burnt district, and inured his head
severely. He was in a precarious condition for some
weeks, but eventually recovered, with the exception
that he has ever since been subject to soma of the
most extra ordinary hallucinations that has over come
under our notice. His fits are not constant, but re
turn at irregtflar intervals, and during their con
tinuance he has more strange fancies than are general
ly crowded into the heads of a score of mem.
First of all, he believed himself to be a dog, and
crawled about the house on all-fours,to the consterna
tion of his wife and family. All night long did he
howl and bark, and upon oue occasion the sight of a
cat led him into a fight, in which the *dog’ was badly
scratched and bitten. The constant racket that he
made was not very agreeable to the neighbors; and
when the fit again seized him, he imagined himself
to be an Angel Gabriel, and stood upon his head in a
corner, holding in his mouth » small teaspoon, which
he solemnly, declared was the Mast trumpet.’ Some
time afterwards he changed his tactics, and vowed
that he was a solid diamond, iufiuitely more valuable
than the ‘Kou-i-uoor’ or ‘Regent,’ or any other lead
ing light of the order. He begged and implored his
wrf|to chip a piece off' him large enough to make her
fortune and his own. Of course she respectfully de
clined; and he then avowed his determination to do it
himself. After hunting all over the house, he suc
ceeded iu liudiug a hatchet; and not until he had
chopped off the end of his little finger did he con
fess that he was nothiug more than common flesh and
ignore the distinction of race and color, or to make i blood,
the negro the special object of national favoritism and. One of his favorite amusements is to believe him
self a talking newspaper; and in this capacity he dips
his fingers iu an inkpot, smears his face with mire,
and tells the most marvelous* and wouderous yarns
about people and things that neve( existed except in
his own foolish brain.
Every description of treatment has been tried, but
without effect, and on one night during iast week his
served and protected with the most ceaseless vigi- j imagination reached the climax. He had been lyiu,

Resolved, That the expenditures of the National aud
State Governments should be reduced to the least
practicable amount; that a strict economy should be
adopted and pursued, and that when the payment of
the interest on the national debt is made, which we
hold sacred, there is no reason for exceeding the
amount appropriated before the rebellion, and that
the taxation of our people to huudreds of millions for
the purpose of securing the domination of the blacks
and the oppression of the whites is wicked, and
should receive universal condemnation.
Resolved, That appropriations to feed and educate
blacks are unconstitutional; that no such policy has

that the knob of the flag-staff was sacking out of bis
mouth and gradually choking him.
On yesterday morning, after a walk down town, he
became very much excited, and screamed out that he
was the Devil. No one paid any attention to what he
said until he wrapped some wrags around his head,
threw a mantle over his shoulders, took a broomstick
in his hand, and shouted, in stentorian tones, that he
had a mission to take possession immediately of the
bodies of the moat violent men to be found in the
world. He started off at a run, and has not yet been

The Victory Mot Emfireljr Doe to tfor
„ Needle Oraa.
[From the London Tildes, July 10.]
The delay of Benedek hod enabled Ae two main ar
mies of the Prussian a, each one of them a n*H<m»i
host in itself, to combine, ond Os their looses had not
been large in the previous encounters, they con
fronted the enemy 240,000 strong. The Austrians are
r aappoaed to have had an equal number, surveyor
the field of battle with a good map will show the ex
tent of ground over which thesa immense leviea^rff
men were spread. It is, indeed, wonderful that Mh«
extensive operation* should have been begun and
completed in a single day. Where nearly half a million
ofrnen and 1,500 guns are in the field, we Aihtex-
pect a conflict as long as Leipslc. But the irremlible
onset of the Prussians and the Skill of their Generals
decided tue battle in a single long summer’s day. The
narrative of its incidents gixen by onr correspondents
does justice to the obstinacy and courage of the Aus
trians, but raises higher our estimate of their oppo
nents. It is evident that the Austrians were very
strongly posted, and that it was % work of daring and
endurance to dislodge them. Only Generals having
complete confidence in themselves and their troops
would have ventured on such an enterprise. General
Benedek c ould have little hope of achieving the ob
jects of the war by taking up his “partly intrenched
position. ” The Austrians could not. by holding thoir
md in Bohemia, either deliver Hanover and tne
tiles,* or make those conquests ol Prussian terri-
wluch were to enable them to cede Venetia with
grace. But if their design had been merely to protect
’'their own territory, they, perhaps, could not have
done better. They had a position well protected by
slope and wood, and they mode good use of It. Their
artillery appears to hove been excellent. They mowed
down the advancing Prussians, inflicting on teem ter-i
rible losses, while they themselves were almost unin
jured.
From our correspondent’s account we must judge
that the Prussians did not win the day -merely by the
T»oh9e*«toc of * superior arm. Through a great pact
of their advance the needle-gun give dam not t*
riortty. The Austrians were protec timbythe nature
of their position, and musketry fire was useless against
them. The capture of the wood above Sadowa was
accomplished by real hard fighting. The Austrians
would not retire, but waited for the struggle. The
Twenty-seventh Prussian Regiment in nearly 3,000
strong, with 90 officers, and came out on the further
side with cmly two officers and between 300 and 400
men standing; all the rest were killed or wounded.
Again, when a second wood opposed their progress,
they advanced against it, but did* not at first mike
mush impression; for, the Austrians being here again
concealed, the flee of the needle-gun did not tell, and
a whole battery, placed at tbe far end of the wood,
fired through the trees and told ou the Prussian ranks
with awful effect. These and other incidents make it
clear that the greatest battle of the present age was
won by the superior prowess of the victors, and was
not the consequence of a merely mechanical advan
tage. The needle-gun added, no doubt, to the com
pleteness of a victory, but if the Prussians hod pos
sessed no such weapon, the spirit of their onset and
the skillful arrangements by which a part of their
army was brought on to the flank and rear of the eoe-
my, would have effectually dislodged the Austrians
from their position.
[Vienna ( July 6) Correspondence of London Times.]
THE LOSSES OF THE AUSTRIAN ARMY—FALSE REPORT OF
THE SUICIDE OF RENEDEK.
Reliable news from the Northern army there is none.
In fact, it is not even known where the army has its
headquarters. It is now reported that the Prussians
captured 120 guns on the 3d inst., and that the loss of
the Austrians on that fatal day in killed, wounded,
drowned and prisoners was not far short of 80,u00
Lieut. Gen. Von Ramming, with the Sixth Corps d*
Armee, which hod been reduced from 30,000 to 17,000
men, covered the retreat of the main army, and suf
fered a very heavy loss while doing to. When laat
seen, Lieut. Gen. Goblentz was fighting at the head of
his troops with uncovered head. Ever since his de
feat at Koniggratz Gen. Benedek lias been subject to
violent nervous attacks, but the report that he has
shot himself is false. Geus. Clam-Gallas, Henikstein,
and Kritsmanitz arrived here yesterday, and each of
them was accompanied to his place of residence by
two officers. The Archduke Albrecht is now here,
aud ills expected he will receive orders to take com
mand of the Northern army.
A Monster Enterprise.—Away up in the Sierra
Nevada mountains, so high that air and water lose
their respective gravity, and sticks of wood refuse to
float on its surface, is a beautiful sheet of water, called
Lake Tahoe, by fifteen hundred feet the highest body
on earth ever navigated by a steamboat. Surrounded
by mighty peaks, whose summits are clothed in man
tles of eternal snow, while they look down on valleys*
where eternal summer rcigus, this lovely lake seems
beyond the reach of civilization, and consequently
doomed to solitude forever.
But science has already seized upon it aa a fit sub
ject for another of her triumphs, and a daring engi
neer, one Colonel A. H. Von Schmidt, has determined
to turn its vast volume of water to a practical use.
He has incorporated a company with a vast capital,
and will actually commence the work at once of tun
neling the mountaiu to draw its pure waters to the
California side.
The waters are to be turned into the channel of a
stream and carried to the hills which skirt the valley
of the Sacramento, thence through the canal among
the placer mines, down the level of the Capitol City;
hence across the valley towards the range, and ulti
mately to Han Francisco., ..This enterprise would, if
carried out, supply a dozenrtowns with delicious water
of a purity unknown elsewhere, provide the miners
with water to carry on their work during the dry sea
son, irrigate thousands of acres of now unproductive
land, making it to blossom as the rose, and lastly, sup
ply for all time to come the seeming millions who will
inhabit San Francisco.

Negro Meeting in RiCHMOND.^On Monday even
ing the negro population of Richmond turned out en
masse to a great meeting on Navy Hill. The regi
ment was about five hundred strong, and paraded
through tbe streets with a great flourish of drums and
rattle of sabres. The objects of the meeting were, we
understand, to take measures to oust the preeeut Mayor
and city authorities, and supplant by others more ac
ceptable to Ward well and the negroes generally.
Resolutions to this effect were adopted, and a delega
tion appointed to visit Washington ior the purpose.
Colonel Brown and two aids of General Terry are said
to have been present,Tending the influence of their
presence to this outrageous affair, and Messrs. Hunni-
cutt and Wardwell. The meeting was addressed by a
white man and a Northern negro, who told them that
tbe rebels had no sympathy with them, and that un
less they clung together the fate of the Indian would
be theirs. Congress, however, sustained them, and
they must uphold that blessed Congress. Groans were
given for the President, cheers for Wardwell, Hunni-
cutt, Colonel Brows, General Terry -and ail their
friends. The assembly dispersed between 8 and 9 p.
m., the negro soldiers marching with beat of drum
and clank of sabre through the city at a later nour.—

immediately whistled down the brakes and reversed
the engine; at that moment the mother of the chifa
