J WisHiNOTosiJnne 24,1868.— Yesterday, In thi Benate, petitions were presented by Sen ators Howard, Bayard, Frelinghuyeen, Edf innnda and Cattell, from Dr. Wm. Notaon; Charles Foster, arid nnmerons others, soldiers of the war of 1812, living In Philadelphia, in which they shy that the sbldlers of iho late civil war were rewarded with a munificence unexampled In the history of nations. They received, in most In stances, bounties hitherto unheard of; liberal pay and - sufficient . clothing from the government Cities, counties and States vied with each other in contributing to their comforts, and the nation did Immortal -honor to Ut elf in thus rewarding Its gallant defenders. Bnt, they ask, how £6 Itwith the Soldiers of 1812? They did not receive one cent of bounty. The volunteers provided their uniforms, -. the; officers tbelr side-arms, and the militiamen their cloth? tag, at their own expense. They were not paid till four or five months, or even a longer period, after the Government alleged they were dis charged—whereas the! soldiers of the late war were paid when discharged, In par money, while those who served In the War of 1812 received de preciated treasury notes for their services, _and the privates only eight dollars per month. They pray therefore that the surviving officers and privates of the War of 1812 may .receive pen sions and be placed upon the ponslon roll. j This comparison made bv the old soldiers seemed to take well with the Senators,,and their petitions were referred to the Committee on Pen sions, with a special request to give their atten iion to this eloquent appeal. It seems strange, however, that all the petitions were fprwmded to denature from other States to present The old veterans -seeded to be* oblivions of the fact that Pennsylvantahas two Sena tore in the body. ; run irrxu,' FfioH rmnADELi'uiA fob ritOTEC- In the House, Judge Kelley pjresented-toe pe titions of Thomas Sinclair and others. lUhogra>. phera, of Pennsylvania; of J.

A NBV INVENTION TO SECURE CHEAPER GAS. Yesterday M. Hall Stanton and Joseph Manuel, Esqs., ol the Gas Trußt in your city, paid us a visit to witness some experiments m the manu facture of gas by a new invention, from coal tar and petroleum, which it is claimed will produce gas at a much cheaper rate than the present method. The inventors have not vyet put their works in operation, so Messrs. Stanton and Manuel were unable to witness a practical demonstration ol the merits of the invention, and left for home. A bill has been in troduced into Congress, In corpora ting a company, to be called the ‘‘Washington and Georgetown Coal Tar Gas Company,” for the purpose of es tablishing another gas-works here, with all the necessary buildings, reservoirs, &c., required, and to lay pipes through, all the streets of the two cities. The company intend using the new invention for making gas, and guarantee to fur nlsh all public buildings and private houses with gas at $5 per 1,000 feet, which 1b $1 less than the rates how charged. They are to commence lay tag down gas pipes within 90 days after the passage of the act. Their capital stock Is not to txeec-d'55,000,000, to be divided into shares of $l,OOO each. The Committee on the District haS the proposition now under consideration. THE CONTRACT FOE FEINTING INTERNAL REVENUE STAMTS, i The Commissioner of Internal Revenue haß not awarded the contract for print ing Internal Revenue Btamps, which has been In abeyance for some time. There are only three establishments in the United States where these notes can be printed—Butler & Carpenter’s en-. graving house in, Philadelphia, and the National •and American Bank Note Companieß.of New York City. It is understood that as soon as the new tax bill Is diapered of, proposals will be adver tised for offices to print the stamps, which; will Blace the work In the market for competition. oth the New York companies are very desirous of securing the contract, and there will be a sharp contest over it. It, seems that Butler & Carpenter, of your city, have made no effort lately, looking to a renewal of their contract. The work will be awarded under the direction df the Secretary of the Treasury, and if the Phila delphia firm does not compete, the work will in evitably go to New York.

PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 25, 1868. EHUCETOJI COUiEfiE. - Tbe One Hnnared and, Twenty-!lrat Commencement. Pbincetow, Jane 24.— Thin ‘ venerable Institu tion has reached Its obo hundred-and twenty first year. Nearly five thousand sons have gono forth from her walls, of whom about three thons eand are still living. This is an honorable record, (•specially when it Is recollected that daring near ly.aU these years she: has been dependent upon i.er earnings, and not upon Stato aid or funds. Tbe enterprise and faith of her teachers, in Other words, have accomplished these great resnlts in the cause of education. No person not familiar with the financial condition of the Col lege,and yet aware of her repntatlon, would have dreamed.thatthltfyyearßsgo she had scarcely any capital.besides herbulldlfig and apparatus,or that; Ull within five years past all her mveated funds scarcely reached 9100,000, and that even now, j after several years of effort, and after some of Us; friends have made princely contributions, these! funds of all kinds scarcely reach a quarter of a, million dollars; aixty thousand dollars of this has been recently contributed as a fund fOrdbo-eup-: Sort of the President, One hundred: thousand; ollars haa been glvenby JohnC. Green. Esq., < a merchant of New Tork,- to addtO'its buildings and library. SO that with all Its advance there i is still mneh to bo done tomakeltthoroughly; furnished to every good work. - The liberal; gift of General N. N. Hoisted, of Newark,;! deserves mention. - • This gentleman has built an s | enduring monumentto himself inthe erection of! a large and substantial observatory at a cost of 940,000. This Is to be furnished with a larger l telescope than is now mounted in the country,; and with bli the appliances needed for scientific investigation. This stands as an example of whatallttle earnest andliberal effort can accom plish. If many go and do likewise, this coliega may In a few years attain to a hlgirposltion, and; become celebrated for the facilities it affords for education. Tbe exercises of .this festal: week be-: , gan yesterday morning, wltb tbe annual address , before the societies. This was: delivered by; Thomas N. McCarter, Esq., of Newark, N. J. His theme, “The '■Relations of Scholars to the Institutions of their country,” was bandied in an: able and judicious manner,: and was calculated to rouse educated men to exert a conservative in-, finenco upon the public opinion, and. the igstitn-’ tiona of their time. , , , ; . Tbe Alumni men according to appointment, in l the College Cbapei—the Bev. Dr. C.C. Beatty, of: Steubenville, Ohio, in the Chair. A constitution: was adopted as a plan of organization; for the; society, and every member of the Board of Trus tees and Faculty, or, who have beCn members of the same, was voted a member of thla AlumnL Instead of a formal, addreßS, the custom here is to call out certain classes—one year the odd,; and the’next year the even years, Who respond ■ through one or more of their members. This gives a pleasant freedom and variety, and, at the . same time, great interest to the proceedings. FJ F. Westcott, Esq., responded for the class of ; 1858. ‘. Bey. James McM. Crowell, D.

He was followed by General Belknap, of Keokuk, Iowa;. - Dr. Collins, of Baltimore, and tho Pre sident spoke on behalf of thedass of 1818; tbe Bev.

What city or country does not? ‘ jiexlco dty can figure up for the month of May only 1,407 arrests, according to her official report, while the press <pf the capital has its customary record of all manner of crime. We have, on the one hand, the death of General Andrade, late secretary of the Governor of Puebla, from the e ffects of wounds received at. tho hands of Mr. Manuel Asplroz, a member of the city council of Puebla ; and, on the othpiw the pardon of Sergeant Isidore Rodriguez,, by the Pre sident, for the part taken by him = m joining the' revolutionary forces of.Aureliaho Rivera. However, we have to record that It is very uncer tain what, If any. pnnlehment will be dealt out' to Domingo Benitez lor his attempted robbery of a jewelry establishment and hiS murder ot se veral persons who attempted to arrest him in his filghficrimes committed some months, since upon the persons' and' property of,foreigners. It ls ; very, evident that a powerful effort is being made in every quarter to prevent'the dispensing of jus dee in this case, as already weeks and months of delay hove been effected, and talented legal ad visees defend him. The late worthy exam ple of forgiveness. sot by President Juarez has been beneficial to our distinguished Governor, ‘ Juan Jose Baz,' who lately en gaged in a personal encounter with two men and; a woman on the ‘grand Plaza, he receiving the : worst of the fight, which was only terminated by the police taking tbe.entire party to the lock-up (not including Governor Baz of course). In this case the femme combatant did not meet with, fair play, the baldnesß. of . Juen.Joße’s cranium not admitting of hair-pulling or other feminine; methods of warfare. After a temporary imprison ment. the. Governor exercised his authority and his clemency and'ordered a jail delivery in their cases.

This colony has been increasing for the last year and ahalf, and especially during the last six months. The Superintendent of the Tuxpan Railroad. is now in treaty with' Mr. Vicente de la Fnente for the purchase of a suit able building for the offices of the company and in which to establish a bank, which, it teannoun- Ctd, will be a feature additional to the railroad enterprise. Negotiations .me pi ß o stated toj be under way for the purchaSh xn an available piece of ground for the depot within the city and near its finest park. I also am informed that a contract for the ties of this end of the road.which! is to be immediately built, will soon bn completed, and that an abundance of competent engineers and railroad contractors are now here awaiting the* Actual commencement of the labor, whicn will take placeupon the arrival of General Rosen cranz, the appointed engineer in-chief, who is expected at any moment. Materials are also ex pected. It is a notorious fact that the Congress in no way interfered with the concession,as with, others, and there is no reason why the road can not be immediately poshed to completion. The line to Tnlancingo is 38 leagues, and mast be completed in one year. tTgnacio. Mariscal, late' Charge d’Affalres of Mexico in the United States, is nominated by several influential parties and by the press to a seat upon the Supreme Court bench. This body will organize ae a Grand Jury to pass its judg ment upon Governor Cuervo on the 20th of this month. Probably the most serious confusion which has occurred in the Palace of late has been occasioned by the taking of the oath of office on the sth of this month by M. Lerdo de Tojado as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Tnis gentlemen has for a year been filling'the first seat In the Cabinet of President Juarez ae' Minister ef Rela tions, and by special permission of Congress has been suffered to retain his seat m that body, to which he was .elected. Having been chosen as Chief Justice, by virtne thereof, he also became Vice President of theßepablla, thus becoming at once Chief Justice, Vice. President! Secretary of State and for Foreign Relations,and also a member of Congress. The Bench , of Jus tice viewed the last two aa incompatible with the former and refused, by a vote oi seven to five, to grant permission for him to occupy them all. and farther have claimed that, by taking the oath as Chief Jnstjee, he virtually, without further formal action, has vacated. his portfolio in the President’s Cabinet. ThiC has been a surprise to all, and a great one tothe President, in regard to whose action relative thereto all kinds of rumors have prevailed. Just at this ' mo ment of writing it is currently believed that Mr. Lerdo haß agreed to accept of the situation, at leust lor the present, and that President Jua rez contemplates a trip to Oajaca, his native State, to recruit, thus leaving Mr., Lerdo as act ing President.

EGYPT. Tihe Viceroy and fit, Uncle—A Scrloua familynlMicoity. Some statements lately appeared in Ois Euro-; pean press relative to arbitrary conduct on the part of the Viceroy of Egypt’* officials to Prince Halim Pacha, his nncle. Tho Prince .has since ! addressed the following letter toall foreign Con- i snls-General In Alexandria: ’ ;' J < «■ Chocuba, Cairo, May 22,1868;—Ntr-I shall not j go over the detail* of everything that Baabeen. done to me' np till the present moment, and • which l have patiently, endured,.the .facts beingj well known to the public; bnt os these, abases, in- ■ stead of ceasing, are contlnoed in snch a manner as to justify an apprehension of still'worse treat merit, I feel bound to bring the foltawlngclrcum-> stances under the notice of the Consuls General:; lly mother-in-law.-the Pnncesa Mnmtag Ko dln, died on January 9th last, and, as her solo heir, according to Mussulman law, I entered the: same day. on the possession of her property. .1, gave the instruction for the administration of; the real property, and took into myserviee the ; establishment of the late. Princess., Matters took; theirregular course, until : the 14th of April last, j the season when preparations for the wheat har- : ; Test are usually begun. On :• that day my . farm : bailiff was summoned, to waif upon the, mndir of Oarbleb, governor of the' province, and' he > was detained the.whole day at the divan without; a word being said to him. When evening came j my bailiff aeited permission' to return to ms busl-. ness, bnt he was told to remain at Tanter,and toi . come to the nradlriehnext morning. The same evening, however, while going through the town looking for a lodging, ho rnet o person .unknown to him, who tried to quarrel with him. and sud denly seized him by the collar and cried, but for help, The police cavasßea at once appeared on the spot, arrested the bailiff, .pnt him in prison, • , and the next morning sent him to the mndirieh,; where bo still remains. . . -- ■ .■; ! . On being - informed o/ this, I sent on my farm ' another bailiff, who reported to me that the labor-' era and other men on the farm bad boon ordered 1 to refuse to work. My bailiff accordingly em-‘ ployed sOine strangers in their place-tint T on the lath of Moharram, the Nemr-el-Klsm; a chief' of the:, department, arrived about• three> o’clock; after midnight and had these men arrestedl and Imprisoned. .Thereupon my bailiff returned, to Cairo to Inform me of what had occurred, so: that I should understand that vf'e wefe exposed.to j a predetermined persecution, against whlcli It was. impossible to maintain our-rignts.

Hai.im. POIjITIOAIi. An Old Democrat on Grant. jHon. Isaac N. Morris, an old and- Influential Democrat of Qnlncy, Illinois, made a long and able speech lately, in favor of Grant and Colfax. The conclusion.of it was as follows: “If yon ask me to forget the rebellion—lf yon ask me to blot ont from my recollection the memory of the five hundred thousand brave pa triots who died that their country might live— some of whose graves you have been strewing affectionately to-day with ilowors, sweot emblems of gratitude—if ypu ask me to shut my eyes to tho widows; and orphans, and maimed soldlbrs left by the war—if you ask me to assist in- re storing to power treason and traitors or their auxiliaries—if you ask me to embrace men whose hands are stained with the precious blood of our fallen heroes, and who only .wait for a favorable opportunity to overthrow the'government, 1 tell yon frankly I am not with you In that. ~ “If you ask me to lift my voice against the great Captain to whom we are more Indebted for our preservation as a nation than to any. other living man, and who has written his principles with the point of his sword; on the national records, and unstamped his fidelity to liberty On the national heart, I tell youplainly I cannot 1 do that. I claim to have Borne little gratitude left. The ensuing-four years will, in my judgment, be the most dangerous and eVentfnlin onr. history, and we must nave one at the head of the Gov ernment wh6 will be equal to the emergency, or we will sink under the weight of a crushing revolution.
