FEMALE EprCATIoN.

We cheerfulIy comply with the request,
TO publish the conclusion Of an Address,
delivered by the Rev. Mr. Freeman 10
the Young Ladies Of Mrs. IIutch.son's
School 10 this place, at the close Of her
last annual examination. There is no
subject that can be brought bcfJre any
community 10 which they have deep.
or interest than Female Education. Wo-
man is said TO rule the world, and 10
some extent this is true, then how ne.
ccssary that she should be intelligent
she has the moulding of the minds Of
our sons, who are the hope of our hap.
pv country. The greatness OF Washing.
lngton has, IN some degree, been attributed
TO the carly Instructions of his excellent
mother, aud although we canno, expect
our sons to become Washing,ons, vet they
are to take part in the great concerns Of
life, and how are they 10 Gil their stations
with credit without some one to ins,lll in
to their minds yrinous principles Of ac
ton, and who can do il better Than an in
'eligcut mother. Every parent should
then feel the necessity of giving TO their
daug equal, if not superior, advantages
TO their sons, for on the mothers of tho
land hang the hopes Of this country for the
pcrpcmaton OF our free institutions.
CONCLUSION
OF an Address delivered in the Presbyterian
Church, 10 the pupils of the Charlotte Femalt
Academy, by tho Rev. Mr.. FRsENAN:

Chad ne Female Academy'

Kentucky.-The news from this State

her people. The Legislature have passed

ing fund, which secures the punctual pay
ment Of the interest on her State debt
This is the right mode, and is in striking
contrast with the doiugs in Ohio, where,
instead Of taxing, they have issued ST.
600, 900 of relief notes, thereby greatly in
creasing the State debt, and the amount of
interest TO be paid annually. Whenever
State pays her interest by the issue of
fresh bonds, instead of resorting to taxa

later, is inevitable. = Phild. Inquirer.
