So far evorything really points to peace, and this discharge of troops and the cessation of the sending on of reserves, proves sufficiently that the belief in peace prevails also in Government circles. The preliminarics of peace have not yot been made known, but what has transpired from offi- cial quarters tends to show that Prussia, apart from the formation of & new German Confederacy, will gain a con- siderable acee seion of territory.

Fronexck, July 31, 1366, There is somo discontent in the courso Prussia pursucs in rather forcing tho peaco upon Italy, if not making it without much regard to Italian feoli 1t is uot very strange that Prussia is apparently dissatis- fied with the military conduct of her ally, and believes that such an alliance could not much profit her in a con- tinuance of the war. The facts are not pleasaut mattor even for Italian contemplation. From the 24th of Juno to the Bth of July Italy did nothing, although sho had lost only 8,000 out of 300,000 men on the ficld ef Custozza. On tho Bth, Cialdini crossed the Po; but he did ot encounter the Austriaus, scarcely their march to Vienna. The Prussians saw that had effected her retreat from Venetia and con- (German antagonist on the Danube with nearly fronted all her military streugth ; nor was there any grounf to be- lieve that Italy would make even a uscful diversion in Dalmatia. In short, French intriguos paralyzed tho Italian army from the moment that the oror discovered that he had fatally misealentated tho resources of Prussia, and re- solved to have peace at overy bazard. The most painful comment on these facts is & lotter of the noble Cialdini just published. Somo muuimpuhl{' presented him an ad- eadid services” to the pation.

In short, there is in this how not to do 1 policy of Cialdini’s eampnign and its conse- quences, a new humiliation added 10 those bitter ones of Custozza and Lissa.

A., June 26, 1806, Since the 24th May, when the great battle of the war entally fought, there has been but one noteble occurrence. It took place on June 14, and was s simple unresisted bombardment of the Allied camp by the It was unresisted because Lopez bad brought beavy guns, 68 and 110-pounders from Humaita, and had planted them among the mornsses, and from 11 o'clock till night he played these heavy guns with well- directed aim on the camp of the enemy. There was no defense, and there could be no reply, for the Allies had no guns of sufficient range to reach the enemy. Baggage, tents, carts suffered greatly, and the gnzine escaped us by accident. The Allics ‘reckon about 100 killed as the résult of the 3,000 shot and shell rained on the camp that ay. %‘hll event has settled the fact that the Allies cannot bhold their present ground except at the will of their enem{. ‘They have no fortifications to protect them, and they bave no'guns that will carry across the rifle-pits and morasees that front the Paraguayau camp. They must either retreat to Itapiu or advance at all hazard. This bombardment occurred on June 14, and we have no news up to this date of its repetition or of any important move- ment since. It is understood that the Allies are going to wait the ar- rival of Baron Porto Alegro, who is distant twenty leagues at Itati with 10,000 to 12,000 men and 6,000 horses. Theso have arrived at 's pace from Brazil. A flotilla sent to bring them down has several Paraguayan batteries to pass, and may have trouble before returning; but the anny can descend the Parana, and cross at Puso de la Patria. ‘As the Paraguayans recede they leave all the wuntr{v 3 smoking, ashy desert.

Admiral Tamandaré has sent a force of marines to the army, three leagnes distant from where the fleet is lying. But the country is so full of morasses and jungles, and the only possible path so infested with Paraguayans that the communication will not prove of much value. Deserters say that Lopez has about 30,000 men in camp. He has called the National Guards from Asuncion to lga camp. The hostility between the belligereuts is gne of yace, and is most fmplacable.

Burraro, August 15, 1866. Tho fifteonth meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science commencod this morning, in St. Jamea's Hall, one of the finest places for the purposo which could possibly have been selocted. Up to the pres- ent writing, the arrivals of members of the Association and visitors to attend tho ssssions have not boen numer- ous; but 1 do not despair of the mecting proving a per- foct snocess, and profitablo alike to the Association and to scionce all over the workd, It is probable that the hiatus inthe meetings of tho Association, occasioned by the Rebellion has had much to do with the slimness of tho attendance to which 1 have alluded, and which was noticeablo at the opening of the moruing session. Thoro hos been considerable anxioty felt, and uncasiness dis- !rluyed in regard to the prospects of the present meeting, but [ think that there is au improved fecling upon that point since the business of the session commenced. It was thought that the exci it of the Trotting Fair would havo a tendency to draw away from the interest and influenco whieh it is necessary the Association shonld always posseas in places whero the meetings aro held. There were many long faces when the hour of moeet- ing eame this' morming; but the clouds of caro were dispelled s tho business progressed, and I think the afternoon seasion closed upon as satistied a set of individoals as over attonded & meeting of the American Association for the advancement in any year of its exist- ence. This afternoon about two hundred persons attended the gession, and the deepest interest prevailed. The long slumber which the Association Las been compelied to take through the operation of the Rebellion does not soem to have fupairod the energy of the organization, but, on_the contrary, it appears to have awakened with vigor ronewed by rest and ready to carry forward most successfully tho object of its formation. The Newport meeting in 1560 id not give that satisfaction which had been the attend ant attribute of the sessions in previous years, and from some causs it called forth a severe eriticism from Silli- man's Jowrnal, which declared that the proceedings in 1860 exhibited o decadence in the scicntific character of the Assoeiation, of a loss of tone, which, if not nlready o demoralization, threatened to become such. The expe rienee of the last six years will not be lost upon the Asso ciation, and if a “decadence in seientific character” wos manifested at the Newport meeting, time has furnished an antidote and restored whatever may have beon lost in tono. The eloments of strength are still within the Ass- cintion, and although we are devied the light of Agwsiz's countenance, oud Hemy wad Peirco come not ameng us this year, we st hiave Bar nard, and Gould, and Loomis, and Lovering and many ther bright and shining lights in the scicntific firu nt equite us for the loss sustained by the ab o neut men whose 1 think the character of the favorably with sy w at the close of the meetin A that the Associstion, instead of being on far as seientifie character is concerncd, is summit of its usefulness md importance. One meoting in this eity was brought about through an invitation ex- tended by Col. Bird of the Buflalo Society of Natuml ence. 2 alluding to the Newport meeting, I have como n n ting 6 fact which may be worth e B year it was thought _advisable to 7 from the Southern States, un- tin avers for this mecti bich have been befe d, and on for offieers th seloct & presiding oflices tho iden” that such an wet would creat the proceedings of the association tir ath, and call into action the seicntific men 1 that section.

The session was opened by Professor Loomis, whe presented very attractive paper entitled ‘¢ Th jeal] Condition of the Sun's Surface and the Mo the Solar Spots.” The Professor said that in bringing forward the subject of Solar Spots ko Lad wot anything cularly new in regard to them, ‘There was probably newaboutthem, The hypothesis of Herschel, the was 1n . ) nothi eminent astronowmer, had been generally accepted, that the =4 pluck, and emitting but little light e is surrounded Ly a strata of clouds of different densities, the inner ones being only par- ially huminous, while the outer circle is bighly luminous.

Careful investigation had developed the fact that tLeu #pots of the sun are not tixed, but bave & motion from east to west, with less apgular motion &t the equator. The propositions advanced by Prof. Loomis in a measure moditied the hypothesis of Herschel in relation to the density of gascous strata around the sun; the lines of light exhibited at the spots, and the relative motion of the "llmu themsel “The Glacial Period in the Valley of the St. Lawrence” Mr, sun i8 & solid s} and beat, This b was the title of a paper by Col.

Belts of arid ands sandy soil thero certain doubt if any of these are more than 50 wiles in bre while thero are many points where an unbroken line of Labitable territory may be followed from the Missouri to the base of the mounta: I remember that as late as 1839, the lowest computation of the extent of the Desert was 200 miles; yet in the Smoky Hill route I saw less than 50 miles to which the term could properly be What I have sinee learned of farming urder these new condition: climate and goil leads me to suspect that time and settlement may subdue even this narrew belt— | that there may some day be groves and farms on the tree- loss plains, that w may usurp the place of buffulo | grass, and potatoes drive out the cactus. 1t alwost scems nature were in the Labit of making a last desperate attempt to resist the subjugation of her | wild, unplowed domains, For a fow years tho settlers are obliged to battle with a eombination of hostile influences. The drout f Kausas and the grasshoppers of Utah and | Colorado are exceptional agonts, which oo iven & folse impression in other parts of the Uniov. I found a8 you may have noted, a land of rain, of sogzy m and swollen streams | Aowe, 1 tind Colorado, whore farming was of eloss, ulrvm’lfin ssed by zon g prowmise. Tho effect of e industry upon the soil even now shows its fruits; the effect of cultivation upon climate (au agency geuerally under- estimated) is yet to follow. Two days ago Capt. Sopris took me ont to his farm on Clear Creek, about tive miles from Denver, Crossing tho pewnund substantial plank bridge over the Platte, wo firs. glanced at the adjoining vegetable garden. I must con 1ens, howover, that I saw more sunflowers than anything else. Ouly a part nlllzrfnhk'u appeared to be cultivated; | the soil wis black and deep, and with proper care there would be but little limit to its productivgness. The pro- fusion of sunilowers (not an indigenous @rowth, T believe) | is remuarkable. From Fort Riley to the Rocky Mountaius, wherever a wagon has made a rut in the soil, there springs up a rank hedge of the plant. ‘Ihe pig-weed, horse-weed | and datura stramontum ure also rapidly advancing west- ward. 1§ found them some distance \sl\lc of Fort Ells- | worth, Rising to what are called “the se®nd bottoms’—a frnflr inclined shelf, extending from the monntains to the wo had a viow down the river and saw the first in Near at hand was a furm of 320 the owner of which is inclosing the whole with a post fence, at a cost of about §2 50 per rod. A neat cottage farm-house, at the commencement of the river- bottoms, pleasantly hinted of permancnt occupation. Beyond this farm, still mostly in the rough, stretched a | ssion of dark-green fields of wheat, on both sides of the stream, which, divided into many arms, q»ukh-.l be- tween its islands and bauks of cottonwood. The rising grounds were already beginning to grow tawny under the | Summer sun, aud these low-lying belts of graiin and trees wade a dazzling contrast of color. For some miles down the Platte I could trace @ continuons line of farms and preémption cabins. The undulating higher ground across which we struck in a straight line, toward Clear Creek, was covered with grass, lupins, a multitude of brilliant flowering-plants, aud cactus, Dry as it appears, it furnishes good pastirage during the ‘whole year, and irrigation will convert the whole of it into grain-ticlds. I remember that my admira- tion of the agricultural capacities of California, in 1849, subjected me to many derogatory epithets; henee, one who crosses these bmwn"hum at tho end of Summer may laugh incredulously when T say that all the country between the river and the mountains—every upland and ridge where water eay be made to flow—will'in time be as rich a fyrining region as any in the East. Tho capacity of 80il to liold moisture will increass; trees will then grow | where it would now be hopeless to plant them: hedgos will take tho place of costly fenees, and the charucter of the country will undergo a complote change.

Ditchos are being carried from Clear Creok ovor all parts of the undulating slope stretching down from the mountains, and it was o cheering sight to find a largo fiold of tho greonest wheat upon one of the highest points, in the midst of & plawn studded with cactus, A short dis- tance from Donvor, ono of the ditches Las been tarned futo a natural basin & mido in diameter, forming a lake of that oxtent, around which large herds of cattle were gramng.

Our course was sometimes impeded by the aumber of theso ditchos, which are not yot bridged, es- pocially 10 descending toward Clear Crock, which wo steuck three milos below the point whors it issues fromthe wountaing. Hero wo wore favorad by an invitation to visit the farm of Mr. Miles, and try the flavor of Colorado strawberries. “This gontleman, 1 loarn, aold his lait year's wheat erop at 18 conts the pound, ($10 80 per bushel), and is now solling Iis entiro atock of strawberrics at a bushel!

Miles was not at home, but his wifo welcomed us to their neat cottagn of concrete, which, with tho barn, stables aud haystacks, already wore an air of old sottle- ment. The gardon, though still in the rough, was very luxuriant. The strawberrries (Albany seediings) soomed to wo of r #izo, but of finer flavor than in the East. With the golden cream which our friendly hostoss fur- nishod, we could not have ssked for anything more deli- cious.

The cafion of Clear creck is wallod in by steep, forbiddin mounteins; but there is pasturage in all'the hights.

On Bear . to the south, and the branches of Boulder Creek, to the vorth, I hoar there are already many fine farms. If & new system of agriculture has been learned, and such results attained within six years, is it too much to assert that the farming interests of Colorado will keep pace with the development of her extraordinary minersl wealth, and that, no matter what amount of population may here- after be attracted to her mountaius, her plains aro capable of foeding them ! BT In a few words, hastily written after the curtain bad fallen on the first representation of ** O'Donnell's Mission,” we recorded the success of the drama, and briely indicated the nature of its excellence. It is now our pleasat duty to de- scribe it more fuly, aud to review the acting wherewitb it was presented, Mr. Broogham's leadiag impulse in writing this play clearly was a dosire to delineate s character seldom scen upon the stage—an Irish gentloman. In that desire he bas abundantly prospered. A brief hiat from Spavish history snggested to bim both the hero and the scene of adventure. His own faney sapplied the rest. The here is Roderick O'Don- pell, an officer 1n the Irish Brigade tbat served the French King, Louis XIV. The scene is that most romantio of all lande, sunny and beautiful Spain. Wo erred, the other day, in describing tbls O'Donnell as an adberent of the cause of Charles Edward, the Pretender. It was James the Secord whom e bad served, in whose downfall and expatriation he partook, and in whose subsequeut plots be met with the adventores illustrated in the drama. Thet, at any rate, is the ground.work of Mr. Broagham's play. It is recorded that after James fled from | bis kingdom - which he did with fear in his heart and iyiog comed in n very kingly manner by upon bis lips—te w | Louis, and fastalled, awid boundless luxury, at the royal retreat of 8t, Germaius, There be plotted, weaving abortive schemes against William of Orange and the peace of Great Pritain. One of bis political allies was Cardinal Alberoni, at the Court of the Spanish monarch; and i was to advise this Papal dignitary of a plot agaiust bis life that 0'Dounell wus sent from Parls to Madrid, with dispatches from James. The Spanish History which Mr. Broagham quotes fnstruots us thag O'Donnell was enabled to do a signal service to a noble Spanish lady, in the course of this jonrney, which led to his subsequent marriage with ber; and we aro further told that the present influential O'Dounell family of Spain sprang {rom this romantic union, This, possidly, is trae; but it must not be forgotten that the Ulster family of O'Donnell bad, in the time of James the First, established itself in Spain, recelviog @ cor- dial weloome from the anclent Castilisn families, and entor- ing into the service of the Spanish Government. Oae of those O'Donnells, Baldearg by name, fought against William of Orange, in 1690, when James the Second bad raised the Staart standard in Ireland. Mr. Brougham's hero was of still later date; aud, whatever be might have been in history, ko is cortainly®s fascivating personage in romance. Hand- some, gay, obivalrous, impetuous, brave, humorous, philoso- phical, be dastes at all sorts of adventure, with ' chreless Qisdain of peril that is estremely fuspiring. Wo seo the or- tire character of the man, in the very first scene ho plays. Nothing could be neater, in the way of nonchalant dialogus than® bis discourse with the mischievous Abbe Le Reoard, when invitiog the latter to learn a little bonorable sword-exercise, in Don Manuel de Zupiga's garden. Iu the guarl-room peons, also, his soutiment and geniality and characteristio Crltio woskuess of resolution are delightfully lustrated.

A nice stroke of art, 100, is the intre. daction of the stanas from the song of the “Irish Brigade whereby, in & moment of extrome pertl, O'Donneli aunounoes to Eva his safoty and bis approach. The fourth act brings us into the presence of Cardinal Alboroni, at Madrid, and also, in sucoossion, brings before that eeclesiastic the troe and false ('Donnells. All Cardinals, on the stage, we believe, are in delicate hoalth, are aflioted with & siight cough, and are inclined to walk with a totteriog step. This should not be the oase with Cardinal Alboroni. who wes & middle. aged mao, strong, sod quick in motion as in speech. Mr. Morris possessos all the dignity that is necessary to the part, and might easily dispense with the slight tings of superfluous deorepitude. Nor would bis personation of the oburchman be marred should he employ & more vature mothod of elocation. The woones in which the Cardinel ap. pears are fell of interest and picturesque offect. Mr. Morr's acting, in deating with the treachorons Zadock, was, al maay poiuts, sdmirable.

The Abbe's pursuit of Kva might have heen easily made both pre* posterous and revolting; but. by making the villain a bamas’ oreaturs, with cational motives, such as are ia keopiog with the oharacter of sn ambitios man, Mr. Brongham avoids aifko absurdity and valgarity, We have often heretolore dwolt upon the advantage which intellect possossos over staze | oarpentry, in the construotion of dramas—an advantage which very fow modern dramatists have brains ooough to understaad. Mr. Broagham's prossnt work, like certain of its prodecessors, illustrates this point. Itis weil concelved, well eonstructed, and ominently well written; and it affacts the micd with & sonso of natare, probabilicy, aud poetry. Thers is not teo much romance in it; characters are clearly drawn, s’ aro human oreatares; and tho dialogas is richly freighted with those fowors of sentiment and humor, which seem to grow as' turally upoa the Irish tongue as the shamrock does upon the Irish soil. Tho actiog, with which this drama has boen illuatrated a® the Wiater Garden, i, speaking gonerally, ood. That of Mr. Broogham, as O'Doonell, is strongly marked with the characteristics of this actor—naturalness, and off-hand dasbing grace, relieved by ocoasional undertones of tender seatiment. Mr. Charles Walcot, jr., onacts the Abbé Renard, and exbibita vary oarefal study of the emotions of love and smbition, ad of the faculties of duplicity and diplomacy. Mr. Audrew, as “Zadook,” plays woll at first, covering craft with assumed sta- pidity, but be descends to needloss farce, when frightened im the robes of the Cardinal. Why need the serious and treach- orous Spavish nature be laid aside, under the pressure of fosr¢ In respect to the persouation of the beroine “Eva de Zunigs,” silance is kindness. Mr. Wall played the litils part of “ Patrick O'Connor” of the Irish Bridade, with noticeable! beartiness of spirit, and fidelity to the Irish character.
