He is a fine Sahel ar; and as a teacher ranks second to none in this distriit.' Some of our most prominent citizens, in every position in life, have been tutored by him, and the beautiful testimonial presented last evening, is an evidence of the high esteem in which he is boldly them. Not less than onshundred tad fifty of the old schol ars joined in the feitive scene, 'and two of the Directors of the sehool in 1835; 'whet Mr. Meads assumed the - management—Dr. Ota. 3—Brae and B. MeLaln—were also present as well as a large number'of invited guests. The souvenir, as we have berets stated, Is a magnificent edition of the Encyclopedia Bri tannia, a oomplete'dictionary of artsi science! and Maratha.

The presentation took place' in the parlor -the Scott House soon after 8 o'clook.., M . Andrew Patterson introduced Mr. Meads to the company and to Edward Jay .Allen, Sig ; \, who hid been chosen to make the presentatiotZ' speech. Mr. Allen performed. this pleasing \ task in an eloquent and feeling manner, re counting in beautiful words the remembrances .of the old schooL He prettily, alluded to the feat that a large majority of the "boys" there present were now married, and their _teacher was now:the Maher of their children also. He begged the recipient to regard the gift in the spirit of affectionate_ friendship in which it was offered, and to valets it for Wit and not on abeenint - of its intrinsic: value. Mi.. Meads, apparently, much effected; received the works in fitting and pathetic terms, and his remarks, as wallas those of Mr. Allen, were loudly ap plauded. After the presentation, Messrs. T. L. Me 'Monad, W. Z. Pope, J. B. Motet:by, E. J. Allen and Ed. Jones entertained the company .with vocal and instrumental music. The whole party then adjourned to the dining hall, and sat down to a banquet that - would have satisfied a king. After • the clang of knives and-forks had subsided, every one' ' feeling satisfied with himself • and all the world, the officers called the meeting to order. Ed. Jay Allen was President; A.

The regular touts were then - read by Mr. Smith, and . when we left, (near midnight,) they were being answered,' amid loud manifestations of approval. To gether with the works goes an elegantly ex ecuted chart, attaining the autographs of as many of the old scholars as could be obtained. The occasion will long be remembered by those who participated as one of unrestrained and elevating enjoyment. Songs were sung,- jests were told, sentiments of the happiest sort were freely uttered, and the time passed . merrily away. Sergeant Major Robert Tag gart, of the Ninth Reserve Regiment, (for merly of the reportorial corps of Pittsburgh,) replied to a, toast to the volunteers, saying that he believed the hopes of the loyal people would soon be realised.

Asiusatrio, Fib:213,1862 -,- The entire session of the House was con . pied, with the discrundon of the bill to repeal the act of 1861, for the commutation , of the tonnage tax on the Pennsylvania Railroad. • This bill hid been made the spotlit-order . nearly two weeks ago. The discuasion was opened by Kane, of Fayette county;Whe'mode, a strong and vigorous speech in favor of the repeal. 11. was followed by John Siott, of Huntington; by the queerest speech of the session.- , His speech was a- legal argument against the right of the'Legislature to repeal,. but fully one-half ' of it a terrible phillipio against the use of money to pass snot bills. The tone of his remarks. implied, that even this bill had been passed by such meant: Certainly one-half of t irouldjcist suit persona . who have - been understood as advocating its repeal. His position will be belt understood by saying that his constituents an strongly for the repeal, while be iv, and has been for inany'years, the counsel of the Railroad Com , pany: - • Mr. Tracy, of Bradford, followed in favor ofrepeal, w hen Mr; Williams got the floor, instead of his general argument, be, af ter,a idiots introduction, offered a substitute teethe bill.

He suddenly concludes by asking his substitute to be printed, and made the order for Friday. The opponents of the bill rallied, and proposed Friday week. A war of birdies now eommsnoed, in whielt half a dozen leading men of the House spoke. Mr. Bigham, of your delega tion, urged the earliest day. The result was several calls of the yen and nays, tending to show that the friends of repeal had a clear majority, bat not two-thir6 of the House. Tiniest vote, on making it a special order, was 57 yeas to 38 nays—this not being two thirds, it failed as a" special order, though a =Prig, ' by adhering , to the orders of the day, cahcall it up in hill an hour on Friday mornink. The committee on this subject have com menced its investigation, and sits every even ing. lam not advised what course will be taken by the Directors of the Company, most of whom an present. The vote of to-day has satisfied. me that • considerable majority of the House will vote for the repeal of the act of 'lB6l. Its fate in the Senate, is uncertain— the probabilities are, it will be lost there. Its Mend ny, if all else falls, then the Supreme ,Court is an impregnable barrier. FORT PITT. City Mortality.

It appears that the- °bat:linter:l of this link were mostly the work of the enemy.' The light-house, at Cape Hatteras, may now be lighted with perfect safety.

The steamer Ellis was captured. A new gunboat on stocks at Elliabeth City was also destroyed, making Seven vessels In all, and each of the first six was remarkably I well armed as a guriben. All of them, except the Curlew, were destroyed Sr captured in the' attack at Elisabeth CRY, and it may be proper to meatiest that the whole of them, saving, of course, the one on the Merle, ware struck by our projectiles of one kind or another in the nouns of the iingagenjaft." - - - - On the 7th in:luta, is our forces - took . ttri disturbed possession 'of 'Edenton; • part of a flying artillery regiment, Tideway estimated at from one to three hundred, fled precis& -lately without firing &shot..
