A speech and proclamation

On the 18th Mr.. JOHNSON made his speech.
already alluded to by us, in reply to the Com
mittee charged with presenting him an au-
thentieated copy of the proceedings of the
Philadel phia Convention
He renews his previous declarations of a
settled purpose to oppose, by every means at
his command, the Capitalization of power,
against which he has SO frequently warned
the country which seeks to attain its
ends by first applying its despotic doctrine to
the South, and then to the whole country.
In addition to this, the presence of General
GRANT, and the accord between the President
and that officer, set at rest the story that the
latter had lent himself to the purposes of the
Radicals. #aa.
This may seem to be trivial circumstance,
but in the conflict and now fairly begun, the
assistance of General GRANT will be of spe-
cial importance to the Conservative party. In
this fact, here mentioned, we find ample con-
frmation Of the opinion that the people of the
North have already been educated by events
up to that point where the zone man power
has ceased to inspire the alarm which it once
excited
Following On his speech Mr.. JOHNSON has
given to the country his Proclamation of the
goth TO lie found in another column, In
this he proclaims that peace, order, and
tranquility and authority, now exist through
out the United States.
This logically implies future improvement
in our condition. General TERRY detested
for his partisan bitterness towards our people
has been already removed, aud it is but rea-
sonable to believe that the abuses of which we
complain, such as military arrests and the like
will be speedily abated. Linking the speech
and proclamation together, as we do, the i'm
portance Of the latter grows larger in our
view, and we look forward hopefully to a
steady improvement in our condition so far
as it can be improved by Executive action.
Coming events will sustain us in this expec-
taton

features of England itself will be but trifing

we shall never need steam
When there shall be population of five
hundred millions in North America alone, and
when this immense multitude, which we can
talk about, but cannot grasp in our mind,
shall have to be supplied with manufactures
of all kinds, then very large portion of that

GENERAL BANKS REPORT ON
NEUTRALITY.

A careful reading Of this lengthy and ex-
haustive treatise upon the position Of this
country towards nations at war, not only
elcits from us admiration for the historical
information contained in the report, as we'll
as its mastery presentation Of the subject
discussed, but we most heartily assent to the
general views 80 ably promulgated in the re.
port, and to It's conclusions, which we take to
be the placing ourselves, in our neutral atti-
tude, on the same footing and under the like
obligations with other leading Powers Of the
world.
Gen. BANKS has rendered the country great
service in presenting this question so clearly
before the people, tracing our position to-
wards nations at war from the origin Of Gov
ernment to the present time. We think the
country will coincide with the opinions of this
report, for IL our neutral position towards
belligerents have heretofore beR forced upon
us by the older Governments, Tor fear that
the sympathes and affinities Of the Amer
jean people would lead them to side with the
peoples and countries struggling for their
rights and freedom, we are now at least sufi-
ciently able to maintain our right as Re
public, to be under no more restraint or linn.
itation in regard to our neutrality than the
nations having monarchical or imperial sys-
TENS Of government.
We understand the result of the delibera-
tions Of the majority of the Committee on
Foreign Affairs is the introduction Of bill
conforming our neutrality laws with those Of
the foreign enlistment act Of Great Britain,
which relates to the same subject.
General BANKS, in alluding to the late
feeble irruption of the Fenian Brotherhood
into Canada, takes occasion to pay tribute
to the Irish people, and to express most
decided sympathy for the Irish cause at
home. In this, as well as his severe structures
upon the hypocritical course Of England
towards our nation during the war; and his
just review Of English tyranny in Ireland, we
consider the spirit Of the discussion admirable
and dignifed, and the words Of "soberness
and truth" fairly spoken.
General BANKS does not initiate those
indiscreet partisans who presume to censure
The President for the proper enforcement
Of the existing laws; but while admitting the
necessity Of the execution Of such laws while
they remain as statutes, he pursues the
remedy of the statesman by making it i'm
perative hereafter to execute only such laws
in these matters as are approved by the will
and are sanctioned in the hearts Of the people.

The London correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Commercial gives DR.. RuBrSI's new preparation
for the cholera, which consists Of equal parts by
weight of camphor and spirits, and to the power
thus obtained he attributes his in the treat
msnt Of the disease. The quantity Of water which
the camphor will take up is small. To obtain the
Saturated Spirits Of Camphor of Rubini" it Is
necessary to dsti spirits of wine, and get rid Of SO
much of its water as will bring 1t to 60 degrees
over proof, in which condition it will dissolve and
hold in solution its own weight Of camphor. With

hundred and sixty six in the Third Swiss Regiment
Of Wolf. That the three hundred and seventy.
seven cases treated by DR.. RuBNI in these public
institutions were all genuine cases Of Asiatio chol
era, and some "terribly severe" and that all re-
covered. The method of euro is rs follows:
"whsn q man is seized with the cholera he should
at once" says Rubini, ''lie down, be we'll wrapped
up in blankets, and take, every fye minutes, -four
drops Of the saturated tincture Of camphor. In
very severe the dose ought to be increased "a
from FIVE to twenty drops every five minutes. In
the case Of man Of advanced age, accustomed to
take wine and spirits, wherc the drug given in drops
has effect, give small coffee spoonful every Eve
minutes, and In very short time the coveted re.
action will occur Ordinarily in two, three or -four
hours abundant psrsPiration will come out and
then cure will follow"
THE preventive method, " writes DIR. Rubini
"is this: Let those who are In good health, while
living in accordance with their usual habits take
every day five drops Of the saturated spirits ol
camphor upon . small lump Of sugar, water must
never be used as a medium, or the camphor viii
become solid and Its curative properties cease) and
repeat the dose three or four times day. Spices
aromatic herbs, coffee, tea, and sprituous liquor
should be avoided"

INSTRUMENTATION OF Indian Treaties,
Advicss from the Treaty Commission to the
Upper Missouri Sioux and other tribes, 10 dsts Of
juno Is, have boon received BY the Commissioners
Of Indian Affairs.
The Commissioners report that they have met
with entire success in securing the assent Of In
diaus not represented last fall to the trsaties then
made. Both At Fort sully snd Fort Rice large
numbers Of the people Of the tribes were present,
and appeared to be fully satisfied with the action
Of their ohish, and with the explanations given
them for the delay In their promised payments.
They now exhibit confidence, instead Of distrusting
the commission as they did last fall.
Many Of the Lower Yanctons and Two Kettles
Sioux are planting at Crow Creek this year The
Commissioners give the Indians great credit for
their absolute fulamsnt Of their promise to keep
the peace last winter, amidst starvation and other
suferings, and recommend that reserve Of corn
may bs kept on hand hereafter at the upper agen.
cies, to meet emergencies.
Tho Commission was about to proceed TO Fort
Berthold to meet the Mandans, Arickaries, and
other tribes, who were assembling at that point.
A delegation Of about one hundred from the Sis
seton and wahpaton bands formerly of Minnesota,
but lately gathered about Fort wadsworth, D. T,
Were pfosont NJ roN hice, Dut the Negotiations
with them failed, owing to the fact that the ma
jority Of the Indian delegation claimed rights to
land and money which tho Commissioners could not
recognise, and the Indians returned to their peo-
pie. large number Of those sssston and wah.
patton Sioux have been employed for long time as
scouts by the United States military officers in
command in the Northwest.
From Capt. E. B. Taylor, Superintendent Of In
dian Affairs at Omaha, Nebraska, particulars have
boon received Of the contamination Of treaties with
the Brule. 0salallah, Sioux, and Northern Chcy-
enns tribes, numbering about II, 900, at Fort Lara
mic, Dakota Territory, on the 2sth ult By tho
provisions Of the treaty these tribes agree to sur.
render all claims to the Powder river route to
Montana, and to allow the Government to con-
struct, without interruption, any roads through
their country which may be deemed necessary.
The treaty was signed BY fourteen out of sixteen
principal chiefs Of the Sioux nation and by ma
jority otuths chiefs Of the Cheyenne tribe. In all
the preliminary councils held, the most cordial
feeling prevailed, and the commission arc of the
opinion that the treaty made will be faithfully OBJ
served. Capt. Taylor emphatically denies the re-
