providing that the road to o-built shall transport the troops, malls, of the United Vlates free of charge. Mr. WiLsoa.of Iowa, and others opposed any action upon this bill at the present time, contending that tba House had not sufficient laformatioa In regard to the matter to rota away fifty millions of acres of the public lands. Mr. Swsat.

of Maine, explained and defended the bill, contending that aaitas speedy and liberal action was taken toward this company, tha railroad would be built on British territory and bo a British road. Mr. Sloaji, of Wisconsin, (Union,) moved an amendment that If the ftfty miles of tha road to ba built within three years by the terms of toe bill bo Dot completed within six months after the expiration of that time, tha lands hereby granted shall revert to the Government. This was agreed to. Mr.

DoRsiLLT. of Minnesota, (Union.) agruadl a length In favor of the passage of the bill, on the ground that unless the covtrv was opened up by rail-toads it would remain unimproved, and the Government lands absolutely without value. Mr. Stitiks, of Pennsylvania, said be was surprised at the quarter from which It came. Unless we build this road these lands will nevr be occupied until the forests are consumed by toe last great fire.

He replied to the argu-meats against giving away these lands, oa the ground that fhey should be retained la order to afford revenue to the Government. It was shallow statesmanship to hold these lands and prevent their development. It was tbrtfty, substantial Slates we want, from which to derive revenue and these could only be developed by opening up the country to settlers. On the passage of the bill tha vote was, yeas 55, Bus 66. The bill appropriating 1240,000 for the erection of public buildings ia certain Territories was taken up, but, without action, postponed for one week.

A. KENNEDY, SaperinUndent MeuopolUan Police. ANTI-LUXURY CONlfBNTION. Maetlas of Ladlea 01 the Cesser TJaloa. Ia roeponae to a call, lamed by the ladiea of the Executive Committee of the Metropolitaa Fair, a very largo meeting was held yesterday afternoon at Cooper Union for the purpose of calling the attention of women to the injury lnflcted upon the country In this crisis by the extravagant purchase of Imported luxuries, aad to suggest the propriety of ab staining from such luxuries until the present crisis la past.

On motion of Psna Coorxa, President Kibo wss elected Chairman of the meeting. On taking the Chair Dr. B-ixo remarked that It bad seldom been his good fortune to preside over a meeting called together to promote so good a cause. It has been called to discuss a point which his always been supposed to be very dear to the female heart-dress. Yet it has always been said that women dress to please the men aad when we of the sterner sex ask them for tha sake of the Union to appear in a simple dress, becoming to an American women at this crisis, thsy will appear more lovely In our eyes than If they were decked In all the splendor of royalty.

At the conclusion of President Kino's brief remarks, prayer was offered by Dr. Vurro. The Chairman then Introduced Pbtir Coorxa, who remarked that the object of the meetlwg waa the formation of a Union a Union which la intended to commend itself to every patriotic lady a time ilka this, when the Intelligent heart of of our country. At all our hopes for free dom for ourselves, and for our posterity, are threatened with destruction by the vilest despotism that ever disgraced a civilized nation, at such time it Is honorable to the ladies to join in a union of efTprt for the good of the country. Mr.

Coorxa enlarged upon tne necessity of tne Union of all Rood influences tor the furtherance of the principles of just-lee and liberty la our Jcountry and the rest of the world, and for the overthrow of Slavery. No Union, he went on to say, would bo stronger lhaa a Union formed by ladies. The ladies always rule, and when they combine for such a purpose aa that set forth In the call lor this meeting, when all the resources of the country are neeoed to save tha natoo, they must be successful, and will save us from the evils of un-rettraiaed prodigality. The next speaker was DR. HITCHCOCK.

Three years ago, said he, the object of this meeting would have been a theme lor debate but the great cause in which we are engaged has passed through the reign ol controversy. It is no longer a matter lor debate. It is aettled forever. The Providence of God has Influenced the heart of the people with the conviction that our glorious republic, baptized by the blood of our fathers, shall be transmitted to our children more glorious than It was transmitted to us. We are not for a moment to entertain the question whether we shall or shall aot sacrifice our wealth, ourselves to our country.

Ws have already laid ourselves on the altar of our country and we have came here only to consider the question of ways and means not whether we shall do, but kino shall we do We would not Insult the American woman by praising her readiness to retrench, to sacrifice personal oomfortand luxury for the sake of tne country. Tne ar has a spiritual and a material aspect, a soul and a body. Toe soul is the faith of the people In the ultimate success of the efforts to put down the rebellion the Dody, was the people. The familiar phrase "fas imnw o' war," waa as ancisat as DsuostBSRXS. The old Gresk warriors were also made up ot bone and muscle.

The Uio-blood of war was gold and the object of the meeting waa not to Inaugurate a Qcixotw crusade against importations ol all kinds, but to guard against that excess of Importations over expor tat Ions, which drained the couatry ol Its yellow blood. The question may be viewed In another aspect. There are too many crippled soldiers in our streets, to. many coffins had been borne along our highways, with the' warrior's sword laid upon ihem we have heard too many sighs from breaking hearts for us to look with patience on roagntfiaence and luxury. What true lad can sweep tha streets with costly dresses, when these streets are full of tuneral trains? It is Indecent, shameful and a source of sorrow to the brave men who have sacrificed everything for their country, tnat the people ho teroain at home do dot lead more sober and earnest lives.

We propose to lay no heavy cross on thosawhom God has not smitten. We do not ask yon to dress in sackcloth, but in sober habiliments, suited to the gravity of the times. Can we not, in God's name, be sobea and earnest In this crisis, while our brethren ara dying on the field of battie The next speaker was WILLIAM K. DODGI, ESQ. He snoke elouuently of the object of the meeting.

and paid a deserved compliment to the readiness of the American women make every saennce mat tne Interests o( the nation demand. He would no accuse tne ladies only ot extravagance the men were as culoable in their way, and he thought that if the ladies were called upon to lay aside their silks and satins, tha mea should give up their wines and cigsrs, fast boises, (The ladles received this list with inanfest delight, and appiauded the speaker for several minutes.) You seem to think, resumed Mr. Do dob, that you've got the men now but Is It so How about the champaine at the last party Didn't you ratner picas that matter upon papa? Mr. Donaa went on te say that nothing more was asked than a reduction in extravagance. He read a letter from a manufacturer In Jrl anchester.

N. on the subject of domestic goods, of which patterns were to be seen at the platform. Tne meeting waa afterward addressed by Dr. Vinton and Dr. Ktxx.

Tbe Chairman of the meeting then stated that a pledge had been prepared fot circulation among the audienoe, and that any who ehose to do so might sign It. At this moment Dr. Kux said that he feared tbe influence of the pledge In Europe, where the manufacturers were ever on tne alert for some cause of quanel with this country. He had proposed a more oautiousty-worded, pledge, warranted not to give offence. Dr.

Adams also had aaotber version prepared. The Chairman put Dr. Kixx's pledge to vote, and though the parties seemed to he pretty evenly balanced, declared It carried. A scene of great confusion immediately took place. Tbe 3,000 ladies ia the hall all began to apeak at once soma at the Chairman, some at each other, and aa many as were near tbe platform, at the reporters.

In tbe midst of the hubbub a few voices demanded that tbe gentlemen should retire from the platform, alleging that they were the sole cause of the disagreement At this juncture of affairs MISS BCBAW B. AltTHOirr of Rochester. N. came forward on the platform and made -a few remarka, to the effect that the disagreement waa on accouat of ti'O ladefinlteneas of the pledge. This seemed to be the sense of the meeting, and the gentlemen who had occupied the platform, after counseling tha ladles not to let their enemies and the enemiea of the country bare It in their power to aay that tha meeting could not agree upon a matter so vital to the welfare of the nation, withdrew and left the ladtes to themselves.

The committee soon prepared the fol lowing pledge we, 1 the undersigned, during tbe conUnoaace of th'e war of rebellion, pledge ourselves to refrain from tbe purchase of lonpoitea aruoies of luxury, whan those of home manufacture or production eaa conveniently be substituted." This was carried by a small majority, a large number of ladiea thinking it not sufficiently stringent. The reporters wera told by ladiea of the committee that are cause of the want of unanimity waa tha presence of a large number of Importers, who seised the favorable opportunity to ereate a divergence of sentiment. The ladtes of tbe Executive Committee of the Metropolitaa Fair request the publieauoa of the following notice The Executive Committee, of the Metropolitan Fair, having discharged the doty which they undertook In regard to the movement agalaat imported luxuries, now retire from the eoatrol of It. and leave It to be organised and carried forward by othara. The book for the aames will be at No.
