Public Meeting in Stony Point.

According to previous notice meeting was held in Stony Point, in relation to moving the capital to this place. The meeting was organ ized by calling Wm. A. Hardy to the chair, who called the house to order and explained the object of the meeting in manner credita- be to himself, showing natural advantages this place holds over Little Rock, or Searcy.

Pitt that "the Speaker be authorized to cause to be printed and posted one hundred bills announcing that the Sth of January, 1859, will be celebrated by the Legislature" MT. Pitt made the following speecE:
 MR. SPEAKER:--
 This House passed resolutions, air, the other day, to celebrate in an appropriate man. ner the 8Lh of January. This is resolution simply asking that notice be given to the pub lie that we will celebrate that day. We have declared our intention, and now, when we come to publish it, some gentleman is suddenly taken with 'the retrenchment gripes," and squirms around Ike long red fishing worm on a pin hook. Laughter
 Gentlemen keep constantly talking about economy. I myself do not believe in tying the public purse with cobweb strings but when re- trenchmcnt cones in contact with patriotism, 1t assumes the form of "smallness." Such economy is like that of the old skinfnt who who had pair of boots made for his little boy without soles. that they might last longer.- Laughterl 1 reverence "the day we cele- hrate' It is fraught with "reminiscences the most soul-stirr;ng; it brings to mind one of the grandest events ever recorded, Tn letters of lv- ing fire, upon the walls of the temple of fame, by the strong right arm of the god of war; On such occasions we should rise above rartv lines and political distinctions.

Important to the Press---Exchange Papers to be Charged with Postage.

We notice in the Washington Union of the 26, that Mr. English of Indiana, from the commit tee on prstofficeS and post-roads, reported bill regulating the payment of postage on lewspa- pers and periodicals, and for other purposes, and asked that it be put on its passage.
 The bill authorizes the regular printers of newspapers or periodicals to receive succh news papers or periodicals as they may require and pay postage thereon at the same rate as regular subscribers; maps and engravings to be charged at the rate one of cent an ounce or fraction of an ounce.
 Mir. Walbridge of Michigan remarked that the bill was very important one, and moAeo that it be referred to the committee of the whole on the state of the Union; which motion pre- vaiIed-yeas 68. nays 56,
 Newspaper proprietors now receive their ex- changes free of postage; but, if we understand the above bill correctly, it is proposed to tax them as other papers are taxed. If the amend ment is passed, the members voting for 1t will be apt to hear some pretty loud thunder from the country press.-Cta. Ehq.
 If this bill becomes law, the consequence will be that the newspapers will be com pelled to cut off about one half their exchanges.

An Enghshwoman Opinions Of American
 I,aS;es

Madame Bodichon, who has recently pub li9hed a tract on Women and Work" expresses her opinion that the life of most women is practical denial of their duties to God. While on q visit tothis country, she was struck by the utter idleness of the " lady class" in society "There is," she says, ' in America, large class of ladies who do absolutely nothing In every large town in the United States there are large hotels or boarding houses, containing seve- ral hundred inhabitants each. This hotel population mainly consists of families who live altogether in hotels; and the ladies, having no housekeeping whatever to do, have few of the usual duties of women in Europe, and are more thoroughly given up to idleness and vanity, 1 believe, than any women in the world These ladies have not the cultivation which glosses over the lives of so many women in Europe, and gives them some solid value in society as up- holders of the arts and literature; but are ge- nerally full of the strangest affectations and pretensions. The young ladies, especially, remind me of certain women l have seen in seraglios, whose whole time was taken up in dressing and painting their faces; with this ditierence-the ladies of the east spend their days in adorning themselves to please one lord and master, tlv ladies of the west to please all the lords of creation Which Is the noblest ambition?"
 She also notices the fact that there is in this country as strong public opinion against women working for livelihood as in England We never hear of father in independent circumstances giving his daugh- ter professional education. If he can live in some style. he counts on his daugh- ter's marrying; and if he cannot, he proba- bly, sends them to some relative in a city, who receives them for long visit, in the hope of getting them off Many thou sands of young girls come to the cities to stay with brothers, uncles, or friends, for this purpose. A worse preparation for any serious life cannot be conceived. Years of idleness are often passed in this way; years spent Ill nothing but dressing and dissipa- tion; and what does 1t lead to? Marriage, probably; but what sort of marriages can be formed by young girls looking at the world from such false position? With such beginning to life, 1t is almost impos- sible the girl can ever become noble hu- man being" ''In America-in that no- ble, free, new country-it is grievous to see the old, false, snobbish ideas of 'respecta- bllity' eating at the heart of society-mak- ing generations of women idle and corrupt, and retarding the onward progress of the Great Republic.
