This step would seem to prove that both parites , betleve the election will pass to the Congress, where they hope to defeat the election of Mr. Juarez. THE MANNER OF VOTIN Tne method of voting in this country ia different from that tn the Untied States, The wards, or vot- lng districts, ure divided up Into several! sub-dis- tricts, for which inspectors are appointed by the chief local civil autuority, whose duty it 13, before the day of election, to send a notification to every voter in the sub-disirict advising him that he ts thus- registered and where he is entitied to vote, In case any person is overlooked ho can apply to te inspec- tors to be registered, Upon the day of election the fortidcationa surrounding it unt) the lith day of Jane. ‘The rebels had pnsiessed theme selves of all the public offices and public fonds, and also had collected forced loans from the commercial houses of Tampico, and { by thai means thetr ofivers found it easy during the | revoit te pay their men, feed them and secure thetr | active co-operation, Their number was originally about five hundred, but by enlistments and levy it was Increase.t to about oue thousand well armed, well fod and able-bodied soldiers, with an abund- ance of artillery and ammunition and protected by five forts and ample eatrcuch ments. CERALLOS AND ALOANTARA SENT TO SUBDUE THEM, Generals Cebalios and Alcantara were sent with troops to the scene lmmodiately by the Secretary of War, but did not commence active operations at once, awalting tie arrival of more troops and Gen- eral Rocha from San Luis Potosi, which took place about the Jast of May. A complete investment of te place was then undertaken aud accomplished, 80 af to prevent the escape of the rebels by land or water. i GENERAL ROCHA'S OPERATIONS. General Rocha then planted heavy cannon within | lowing ‘short distance and to the north of the city, and | opened fire without any other result than the de- + struction of some buildings and the indiscriminate killing and wi nuding of soldiers and citizens, Cannon thought to be more effective were then | sent for and planted at other points and fire opened | with no better results, At this period of the history of the affair a tiuce of twenty-four hours was agreed upon to permit the families of non-combatants to leave the besieged city, but the rebeis violated the truce and instead of occupying themselves in facilitating the exit of | Jamilies they Improved the few hours strengtnzening their fortifications and earthworks, Thereupon General Rocha determined to assault the | rebel works. Colonels Malina, Calieja and others of the rebeis were confident that they would be able to | bold out against any force which the go nment | could sent against them; but they had calculated | upon other revolutionary movements in other parts of the republic of sufficient importance to prostrate the government by dimtaishing the number of troops which could be sent to any single polut of | reveilion, In this caleulanon the rebels were de- ceived, for po other :evolutiopary movement was iniilatel, and they were cousequentiy left to me | mercy of as large a force as tne Secretary of War chose to send against them. PREPARING FOR AN AS8AULT. Everything being ready tor the assault General Rocha issued the following prociamation to hg troops on the 9th inst.:— SoeTENES Rocna, General-tn-Chief of the division operat- ing syainst Tampico, to his subordinates :— SOLDIERS —To-morrow we must fight.

Learned disquisitions are of irequent oceur- Tence to account for TRE ABSENCE OF VISITORS, and speculative theories on this subject give rise to equally speculative corollaries, which involve m their conclusions the closing up of half tho hotels im the place and the migration of a host of enter- prising traders, The truth is that the hoteis are not one-fourth full, and tnat! they seem not likely to be fuiler. At this time last year there was scarcely a vacant room in any of the hotels or cottages, and this so buoyed up the residents here with GREAT EXPECTATIONS for this year that each house was supplied with a fal) complement of help very early in the season, tus necessitating a considerable outlay of money, with no profit, ‘The result 1s that proprietors of es tablishments growl fiercely among each other and swear devoutly at the general public. Great anx- ijety is manifested among this class to get THE PATRONAGE OF NEW YORE for the Cape. They like Philadelphians and Penn- sylvanians generally weil enough, but New Yorkers are their beau ideal of a watering place visitor, and they hate New Jerseyites. It is a popular fancy here that when New Jersey :olk come to Cape May they bring # large share of edibles with them, and as they drink nothing bat ice water— knowing, as they do, the component parts of the State lightning—tnere can be no way of spending the stamps, except, per- haps, for cigars, which, itis charged, they purchace in grocery stores for “two for five cents,” New Yorkers, however, do not much congregate here, and tney lose much by not doing so. The town 18 a pleasant one, the hotels are well kept, aud.as for tne beach, GLORIOUS IS THE WORD, But the charms of the Cape lack the great essen- tal for enjoyment at @ watering place—namely, the presence of the people—and duiness pales every scene after a while.

YALE COLLEGE. Meeting of the Alumni—Introdnctory Ad- dreve— lass App: iutments. New Haven, Conn., July 12, 1871. A large and enthusiastic meeting of the alumni of Yale Col'ege took place this morning in the time honored edifice known as ‘‘Alumat Hall,” which is* externally, a bulidlug of fair proportions, but whose dingy appearance within would be much relieved bra FRESH COAT OP WHITRWAST, and by providing seats of modern style in place of the ancient pine benches which constitute the only furniture of the principal audience room. Upon the platform were members of the corporation and faculty of the college, and a number of the older and more distinguished graduates. Scattered through the audience as well a3 in the gallery above the speaker's stand were quite a number of Jadies, After the meeting had been opened by prayer the presiding officer, Mr. Edwards Pierre, pont, of the class of 1837, made a bricf INTRODUCTORY ADDRESS, referring to the many changes which had taken place since his time. The list of deceased graduates, numbering eighty-two persons, was then regd by the secretary, Professor D. ©. Gilman. Professor Thatcher being cailed for gave some interesiing reminiscences of the pertod whea ex-President Woolsey first became connected with the college, in 1831, In that year the entire property of the college, after aeaucting debts, amounted to only avout $14,009, and its annual expenses were in round numbers but $20,000, He wontd not, he said, at- tempt to give his hearers any schedule of the prop- erty of the university to-day, but tt had received from one man alone more than $309,000, During the past twenty-five years seven professors have been added to the col ge aud four new departments created—viz., the Sheileld Screntific School, the Yale School of art, the School of Philology and the new one just inetaruted of Pure Mathematics, Some of these were UNRIVALLED IN THE COUNTRY, and all had been established during the administra- Hon of President Woolsey, “whoxe sun had now goue down in meridian splend Rey, Dr. Leonard Bacon, on being introduced to the meeting by the chairman, referred to the intere esting circumstance that he was the only mau alive who had participated in electing President Woolsey, and that how, at the close of a quarter of a century, it haa devolved upon him to assist m the choice of his successor. A series of resolutions offered by Dr. Bacon, expressive of the regret of the corporation and fellows at the resignation of President Wooisey, and of their deep sense of the remarkable wisdom and ability with which he bad discharged the duties of his ofce during the past tweaty-fve years—a period more memorable than any other in the his- tory of Yale—were unanimously adopted, together with other resolutions of simular import offered by a delegation of the alumni from Cleveland, Otto, President Porter being loudly called ior, notice was given by tne chair that an opportunity would be afforded to the graduates to hear him after the annual commencement dinner to-morrow (Thurs- dar). Among the speakers who followed were Cassius M. Clay, of Keutucky; Senator W. A. Buckingham, or Connecticut; Mr. Bradley, of Washington, D. C.; Rev. E. Y, Hincks, of Portland, Me., and others, Numerous telling hits were made which brought down tie house, and several PLEDGES OF FUNDS to a considerable amount for the use of the univer- sity were publicly given, A large sum, estimated by some as high as $109,000 in cash, is likely to be raised in this manner before the week 1s over.

As to the parties by the name of Johnson, their number 1s legion. I have just counted five signboards bearlng that appclla- tion from the window of my room, and all the way up the main street the name alternates with the cognomens of other less fortunate individuals, Agriculturally speaking, the crops of the town are Johnsons and biueberries, and they thrive famously together. The contun jou of THE COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES was nicely gotten on with last night and to day. On the former occasion the Junior Class went throngh its usual declamatory rouune, was duly and severally applauded, and the good little boys then retired to the seats from whence they came. Two of them diviied equoliy a prize of $30, although I believe the general average was considered much lower than that of previous years, Another strong feature of the week was the meeting of the alumni to-day, concerning the 1mportance of which might be hung atale.

Amuenst, Mass., July 11, 1871. Alumni continue to arrive on every train, and, although much preparation has been made to ac- commoidate them, the little village of Amherst seems quite unabic suitably to dispose of them, It is worth a long journey even for @ stranger, thongh he be of the coldest nature and knows little of the pleasures of renewing o:d acquaintances, to stroll through the strects and about the buildings on College Hill, and to note the old men’s hand-shaking on the campus where they stood years ago, and to near them talk of those old-time scenes, Every one 1s twenty years younger to-day. I meta party of about twenty just arrived tnis afternoon. Every familiar spot was marked, as well as every change, especially the trees, old, majestic trees, the same that had shel- tered them many years ago.

But the time Was not entirely Wasted. Men began to turn their heads—and this was about all they couid do—to look for old friends. I saw one aged man look despairingiy about until he espied some one fromm whem he had been long separated. By effort he raised his hands above toe shoulders of several, and, aiter some prelimmaries, they proceeded vigorously to shake hands, greatly to the discomfiture of sundry chigoons and bonnets. Just beiind was the Kev, Henry Ward Beecher, ing position where 1t seemed he was un- able io str, In vain he beckoned to those ahead to pass on, in vain he endeavored to pusn by; but the crowd was stabbora, No ~ s#eecher, however, could endure this, He retreated amoug the seats, climbed over the hacks, pressed to the door of the Nall and pushed. He passed te hall and escaped iato ihe strect. Why could we not ail be Beechers in a crowd? ‘This ll-omened rain was to many the pleasantest feature of tie day; lor the crowd gradualiy teil back lato the hall, and a ree newal of acquaintances that would have done any one good took place. Tue flow of sp.rits was as copions as the rain, ‘Those who could brave the weather repaired to the tent where the Sentor Ciass were assembied. While itrained the crowd was held tu check and amused by college songs. But the siorm so increased that the exercises were abandoned, with the exception of a parting gong from the Sophomore Class, and a resentation of cigars to the Sopus and miik to the Freshies, which they devoured with good relish and “asked for more’’—ali terminating by the smoking of the friendiy pipe by the Seniors.
