The proposition em braces terms for a lasting peace over the whole conti nent of Europe.

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.

The method of cure is as follows: “When a man is seized with the cholera he should at once,” says Rubini, “lie down, be well wrappodup in blankets, and take every five minutes four drops of the saturated tincture of camphor.

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.

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, lance; and no impediments to its free enjoyment perfectly quiet for several hours, when he began to ought to be interposed, bnt such as are absolutely re- cough and splutter at a terrible rate.

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 heard of.

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. at “ARCTIC’SODA WATER,” DRAWN THROUGH TUFT’S PATENT FOUNTAINS, WITH CHOICEST FRUIT SYRUPS, .AT * E.

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.— Richmond Enquirer, duly 25.
