The South ern literary Messenger, published nt Rich-tto-nd, Va., gives the following definition of the word 'Abolitionist': "An Aboli tionist is any man who does not love slave ry for its own sake, as a divine institution; nrho does not worship it as tho corner-stono of ciril liberty; who docs not adore it as 'the only possible social condition on which a permanent republican government can 'be erected; and who does not, in his in most soul, desire to see it extended and Perpetuated over the whole earth, as a means of humau reformation second in dig importance, and sacrcdness alone to ke Christian religion, ne who does not fore African slavery with this love, is an Abolitionist."

Marriage is nil tho meaning of this sweet song, tho dinmonded point round which nil hope flouts, worships, and radiantly enjoys. Marriage holds tho jew eled shrino of loved, and loving, and lova ble woman; thcro sho kneels with self nil centered from self; and seeking there her companionship with confidence ns pure ns heavenly voices, nono but 0 sntauio spirit will contribute to mnko her doubt, and fear, and fall! Married, cli? why yes, married, certainly I Few persons havo had a right to be born, but nonccx cepting in cxtremo cases of disability, have tho right to restruin themselves from mar riage. This is onr philosophy tipped off at tho top and bottom with tho rather smart notion that no man or woman can possibly bo properly finished by discarding the mar riage process. The Love op I5eaity. Tho lovo of beauty and refinement belongs to every true woman. She ought to desire, in mod eration, pretty dresses, and delight in beau tiful colors and graceful fabrics; she ought to take a certain, not too exclusive, prido in herself, and be solicitous to havo all be longing to her well-chosen and in good taste; to enro for the perfect ordering of her house, the harmony nnd fitness of her furniture, the cleanliness of her surround ings, tho good style of her arrangements; sho ought not to like singularity, either of habit or appearances, or to stand out against a fashion which hasbecomo custom; she ought to make herself conspicuous only by tho perfections of her tasto, by the grace and harmony of her dress, the unobtrusive good breeding of her manners; she ought to set tho seal of a gentlewoman on every square inch of her life, and shed the radi ance of her own beauty and refinement on every material object about her.

Senator linker, In his great speech in tho United States Senate, pars the following beautiful tributo to the Press: " Sir, tlio liberty of the press is the highest safeguard to nil free government. Ours could not exist without it. It Is with us, nay, with all men, like a great exulting and abounding river. It Is fed by the dews of heaven, which distill their sweetest drops to form it. It gushes from tho rill, as it brenks from the deep caverns of tho earth. It is fed by a thousnnd affluents, that dash from the mountain top to separate again into a thousand bounteous nud irriga ting rills around. On its broad bosom it bears a thousand barks.

I am not hero to deny that that river somo- times oversteps its bounds. I am not hero to deny that that stream sometimes becomes a dangerous torrent, nnd destroys towns and cities upon its bonks; but I am here to say that, without it, civilization, humanity. government, all tnnt muKcs society nseu, would disappear, at tlio world would return to its ancient barbarism. Sir, if that were to be possible, or so thought for a moment, civilization itself would roll tho wheels of its car backward for two thousnnd years.

It reflects all the changes (11 the character and habits of a people, and shows how they progress or rctrogndo. The scnuo of word gets abroad by Imperceptible de grees, until It comes to express a different, ' a reverse signification.. It Is well knowu that tho word prevent, in its Latin ety mology, had the sense of anticipation, get ting the start of, and not to oppose, to ob struct, as it now signifies. To i.trr liar turned completely about slnco tho received version of tho Uiblc, when it meant to op pose; now to permit. Max stealing with tho Romans was called ruuirw; from thenco It passed to designate literary theft. QcAtKT, according to origiunl usage nnd derivation, meant scrupulously exact, ele gantly refined; now it is applied to what Is odtl, affected aud fantastic, a violation of tho natural and tasteful. Words get de graded. Thus siJti-i.r, not double, took a strango metamorphose In giving us simple ton; siwi'i.icitv still holds Its charm. We clcvoto words from their physical relations to mentul and spiritual ones. Taste, as applied to tho sensibilities of the palate, has risen to express a fondness for chaste ornaments, neat arrangements, love of the fine arts nnd bello letters. Wo also tulk of intellectual pyrotechnics nnd morul gym nastics. Wo enlarge tho circutnferciico of words. Mr.AT was onco applied to all kinds of food, now only to meat. Civili zation once applied to tho inhabitants of a city only; iiiuanitv, the manners of n city; villain, one living in a village. Wo limit and restrict tho meaning of words. Acre meant any field of whatever size. Fi n Loxo was a furrow of any length. Yard denoted no exact measure. Pi:ck nud hallos were vague and unsettled quanti ties. Words thnt wero used for botli sexes aro now applicable to only ono. Nedikw stood for grandchildren aud lineal descend ants. Giri. designated all young persons. Gooo Brkkpixo. It is truly said that a little gentility Is a dangerous thing. There are no such sticklers for ctiquctto as the would-be fashionable, who have heard of good society, but never seen it. Having no innate good breeding, they hedge iu their lives with conventionalities and rules borrowed from the Handbook of Politeness. It is unsafe to do an original and sponta neous act in their presence, or let full a remark that is not directly common-place, if you would bewaro of offending their fastidiousness. On tho other hand, there's no such freedom nny whero ns in really good society. Truly well-bred persons never act by rulo, or fear giving offonco by tho freedom of their conduct nnd conversa tion. It is tho high tone of their behav ior that preserves them from vulgarityi not tl.o observance of etiquette. Innate politeness nnd nobility of character show themselves in every gesture, in every accent of tho voieo nnd glance of tho eye; humble dress nnd occupation cannot conceal them; neither can vulgarity put on those high qualities, though it be clad in purple and gold, and housed in a palace. Newspapers. Show us an intelligent family of boys nnd girls, nnd wo will show you n family where newspapers nnd period icals are plentiful. Nobody who has been without thesn silent tutors can know their educating power for good or evil. Havo you never thought of tho innumerable top ics of discussion which they suggest nt the brenkfust table, the important public meas ures with which, thus early, our children becomo lamiliarly acquainted, with great philanthropic questions of tho day, to which, unconsciously, their attention is awakened nnd the general spirit of intelli gence which is evoked by theso quiet visi. tors? Anything thut makes home pleas ant, cheerful, and chatty, thins tho haunts of vice nnd the thousand and one avenues of temptation, should certainly bi-Vrtrded when' we consider its influence on the minds of the yonng, as a great moral and social blessing.

It conjures the people not to give up the nntionul airs, and exults over the fact that they aro received at the theatres with enthusiasm. top The official census of the United States bos just been completed, and shows total population of thirty-one millions fonr hundred and twenty-nino thousand eight hundred and ninety-one, (31,429, 891.)

Great excitement exists in Charleston, people wniting for the attack. Tlio Confederate Commissioners left Washington in disgust, and charge Lincoln with perfidy. They say the Montgomery government earnestly desired peneo, nnd llio responsibility of war will rest with the Administration. They regard war ns In evitable. Three regiments of infantry left New Orleans on the 11th for Peusucola. Tho U. S. troops in Texas, it is stated, designed fighting the Mexicans, who threa ten Brownsville. A Montgomery dispatch says tho Forts will not be attacked until tho appearance of tho fleet. Though sensation dispatches represent war to bo inevitable, conservative journals hare hopes that it may bo avoided. several companies or troops have been demanded nt Ft. Taylor. Key West, and ordnance nnd stores from New York. Tho dispatch probably means " landed.' Tho President has communicated with tho Governors of Pennsylvania nnd Ohio, nnd states thnt an attack upon Washington is apprehended, and he desires them to call out their military, nnd hold it in readiness. Gov. Curtin (ot IV1111.) will cull out vol unteers nt tho least sign of danger. The War Department is mustcriu; troops in the District of Colunibin. Tho Natiomil Billcs aro being enrolled for service. Some refused to tuko tho oath, refusing to light Marylund and Virginia. Sherman's artillery at Fort Ilidgely, and two cavalry companies, nro expected. The N. Y.

Curtin 1ms sent a message lo the Pennsylvania Legislature recommending a modification of militia laws for tho purpose of making them mora efficient. Pennsyl vania makes no menaces, but desires pence, but by preservation of tho persnnul and political rights of citizens, tho truo sover eignty of the States, nnd tho supremacy of law and order. There is little hope of the restoration of harmony. Two companies of troops hnrc left Rich mond for Charleston. Yancey and Boss have sailed for Europe, Tho persons of foreigners iu Snvnnuh aro subjected to se cret surveillance. Tho Massachusetts Legislature author ized 3,000 troops to be placed on a wnr footing for the emergency, uml n fund was placed at tho disposal ot tho Governor.

Tho following conslitnto the Com mittee: W. Ballard Preston, Conservative; Alexander H. II. Stuart, Union; Gcorgo W. Randolph, secessionist. No informa tion yet received of tho result of their mis sion, llio Convention is still in session. Resolutions embodying tho report of the Committee on Federal Relations, with oth ers, were adopted, deeluring against coer cion, ond in favor of the recognition of tho independence of the Southern Confederacy, and indicating that Virginia will go with tho South if hostilities are precipitated by tho Federal Government. Tho vote on the recognition of the Independence of the Southern Confederacy, was 121 to 20.

The accounts of the reported revolution in New Mexico were incorrect. St. Louis, April 128 p. m. Private dispatches received at Washing ton to-dnv from the South, leave no doubt thnt hostilities were commenced at Charles ton at an early hour this morning. On the 8th of April, Gen. Beauregard addressed the Secretary of War of the Southern Confederacy, stating that an au thorized agent from President Lincoln in formed Gov. Pickens and himself that provision vnuld be tent to Fort Sumter jtcaeeahly, or otlterteise by force. The Sec retary of War (of the Nig. Conf.) replied on the 10th, tilling Bcanrcirard, if be had no doubt of the authorized character, of the agent who communicated the intention of the Washington Government, to supply Surnter by force, he should nt once demand its evacuation,' and, if refused, proceed in such manner as he might determine to re duce it. Beauregard replied on the same dnyi " The demand will bo made to-morrow at 12 o'clock."- The dispatch says this correspondence grew out of a formal notification by the Washington Govern ment, immediately preceding the hostilities. There are no further particulars as yet. A Washington dispatch says that Rev- Ji.pjUh.

Senate of Saturday, March 2, a sceno occurred such as was never before witnessed iu that gravo conservative body. It Is thus de scribed by tho correspondent of the Chi cago Tribune: Jo Lane had made a tedious, abusive, secession speech of two hours' length, wea rying the putieuco of the Senate, und dis gusting tho thronged spectators iu the gal leries. Ho hud said as many ubusivo things of Senator Johnson, of Tennessee, as he knew how. It was his valedictory, aud was filled with virulence, hatred, and treason. All tho poison he could Inject Into his words, they contained. It was the meanest speech that ho could possibly mnko. Andy Johnson promptly secured tho floor, nnd proceeded to flay tho old traitor alive. Ho has hud 0 score to settle with Lane for somo time. Thcro tins been an old balance on tho books running on inter est for a long time, and now was Johnson's lust opportunity to giro him a receipt in full. The flagellation was scientific, and Immensely relished by tho lonnp rs iu tho galleries. It wus with tho utmost dilllculty they could restrain their feelings from breaking out in applause. Onco or twice some clapping nnd stamping occurred which could not bo held in. A motion was mnde to clear tho galleries. Half an hour was spent wrangling over it. At last it was withdrawn on tho distinct under standing, that at tho next manifestation the peoplo would bo turned out of the galleries. Johnson then resumed where ho had left off, and proceeded to administer a tcrrifio chastisement on the thick hide of tho old secessionist. He told him thnt when tho finger on tho clock pointed to 12 (noon)' on Monday, his political career wus ended forever; thut ho hud no future, that Pi 0 vi de neo had no further uso for such a man even as nn instrument of evil. The Sen ator from the freo and loyal State of Ore gon had becomo a mora rabid disunionist than tho worst lire-enters of South Caro lina. Who was ho representing on this floor? Certainly not tho peoplo of Oregon who had repudiated him, and sent u loyal mnn to fill his place. In the courso of hi remarks, ho turned round, fncing Lane, and exclaimed, " Show me a Secessionist and I will show you a traitor," and iu rcferenco to Gen. Twiggs, and those who havo seized Gorerniuout property at tho South, ho said" If I wero President of tho United Stutes I would urrest them, nud if found guilty of the chnrgo I would hang them, too. I would put down trea son, ana iiiuko me icnucrs 01 una nunoiy crusade ngtiinst tho best government tho sun ever shono upon, suffer tho penally of treason." Tho nudienco could stnud it 110 longer. Their patriotic emotions were to strong for1 ttieir senso 01 decorum, nuu n voney 01 clap ping nud stamping resounded nil round tho ehnmbcr. Old Mason sprang to his feet, hisfaco livid with rage, and screaming at the top of his voico, demanded thut tho galleries bo instantly cleared. The noiso censed. Tho Vice-President ordered tho doorkeepers to turn out tho people. For a minute, no one stirred. Tho crowd hesi tated whether to submit to tlio order; finally, a few started; others rose to go.
