" ' " w BY W. A. LEE AND HUGH WILSON, JR. ABBEVILLE, SOUTH CAROLINA. FRIDAY MORNING. MARCH 8, 1861. VOLUME VIII.?NO. 45. BOOTH-EBH POSTAGE ACT. The most important notion of the Southern Congress, on the 24th inst., was the removal of secrecy from the following report and bill: Mr. Chilton from the Committee on Postal Affairs, made the following report: The Committee on Postal nfftiira having considered of the duties assigned them, liave instructed me to submit of following report, *nd the bill accompanying the same. The Committee have mainly direct?*d their iuquiries to the question whether, without material inconvenience to the public, the Post office Department of this Con federacy can be made neIf-BU?taining. The Committee find, from the latest and * roost reliable means of information of which they have been able to avail themself, that the excess of expenditure over the receipts of this Department in the *ix States comprising this Confederacy, for the fisral vear nndlnir HfltH nuno l a?;n 4i nnr\ e> i""M """ *" 595.83. They hav? not been able to obtain the report of such receipt* mix! expenditures for the Ijim fiscal ye hut thcv presume the above furnishes an Hpii?x'*ma tion Rufficiently ait-mate fur lite piei|ji*Mif of our preRent action. To provide for this deficit, join Committee would Ruggetit that the rates ut jt J may be increased, as proposed by tti<- j companying bill. Bv thin bill ?i:?-v j male an increase of receipt* Hpjx im;il intr #578,874.83. They believe that a saving can he elected by a change in the mode of letting >.111 1 mail contract*, adopting w! <a is u>ii mImv : called 'the star-bid system.' I>r?.vi?lintr all i due safe-guards for the celerity, certainty, i and security of the mails hut withou' "ther i restrictions as to the mode of transput tation. In this way vour Committer are atalisfied that the expanse -jf mail transportation may be reduced, miv 33J per rent, j upon the present cost, ?a\ &91(j.033. They are further of opinion that tlu-re | should be a discniitiiiiui?M??? i I routes, the cost of which is greatly disproS portioned to their convenience, and the receipts of the offices supplied by them. In this way they believe a saving of 1-10 of the present coat of transportation may he attained, fay $206,344. . The service upon many of the routs may without material detriment, be changed, daily routes reduced totri-weekl, ?fec., ?t an estimated reduction of, say $206,344. They would also recommend the abolishing a number of minor post offices, wliich u^Miuii ivuBiurrniiiti vxpunna wunoui corresponding pro6l or convenience. In this vray-a saving to the Department might he readily secured to the amount of, say $50,000. 'ihese sums added, say by increased receipts by raising postage rates $578,81i4 83 By aaving, as above indicated total 1,081,721 00 Total . . . 1,060,595 83 Present excess of expenditures over receipts . . 1,660.595 83 Your Committee are of opinion that steps should be immediately taken to pro care postage (tamps of the denomination of two, five and twenty cent*; that these stamps wil! be sufficient to meet the want* of (ba Department for the present.

In the thirteenth And fourteenth century elegance had scarcely any existence, and even cleanliness was hardly considered as laudable. The use of linen was not known, and the iu<>?t dciicqte of the fair sex wore woolen shifts. In Paris they had meat only three times a week; and one hundred liv?r? (about twenty-five dollars) was a large "portion" for a young lady. The better sort of citizens u?Hd splinters of wood and rags dipped in oil tor candles, wliioh in those days were things rarelv to be met with. Wine was only to be had at the nhnps of the apothecaries, where it was foM as a cordial; and to ride in a two-wheeled oar along the dirty, ragged streets, was reckoned a grandeur of so enviable a nature that Philip t,-e Fair pro.u * uii-ucu mo mica ui rinzcnn imm e njoyingl it.

The mouth is a feature upon hich very much of the character of I be fact depends. No woman can- ho a psetty woman who lias an ugly mouth. To the most regular features a gaping mouth, or ugly, drooping, ?nd badly, funned Hp*, will give an air of I listless ignorance, or half idiocy, which is impulsive. Firmness, general dwiai"n, cruelly, softness, and gentleness of mind, love of our fellows, eloquence, spite, vindictive ness, generosity, and strength of character, are all indicated by the mouth. It it* incumbent, therefore, with astute and cunning men?with those who are crafty and politic, and who plot against humanity?to conceal tho play and workings of he m nth. As Caesnr covered his biMn -84 w th h laurel crown, ho a modern Ctesar covers his lips with a thick drooping mustache; in tb a too, nature has adtnirab y aided him. Forrester, the Bqw street runner, and Fouche, Napoleon's celebrated chef of police, almost invariably detected the guilty by noticing the. play of the lips, Forre-ter, in h<a curious has frequently told us thai he saw 'guilt upon lip* of more than one whom he suspected ; and hi* sagacity, if not unerring, was great. But who can watch the play of the mouth when it is covered by a thick grove of mustache! All the celebrated police agents frnm L? ' ... . ?? ..v i>?|n>nui ?? uiciicr, nave been completely puzzled by such. It is well therefore, on important occasions to conceal tbe mouth. It is too sure an index to character. Thin, pale lips are supposed to be imlicativo of ill temper. They are more sure- , ly, perhaps, the consequence of a weakly and not too healthy habit of body. A very thin nether lip, clenched teethe, and a pale cheek, have been for ages the stock in trade of the fiolionist when he wishes to draw a conspirator; and the painter has followed him. Judas, in m*nv of the early Italian pictures, is seen biting his under lip. Richard the Third, as portrayed by Holingshed and by Shakespeare, had a similar habit. Men of nervous and excitable temperament have, especially if su'pioioua, a habit of plucking at their lips and distorting their mouths. Small mouths are very much praised, i i i - > ituu uKm umn tur a long tune muoh in fashion. Fashionable painters and artists for the 'Book of Beauty' have carried this srpaUneRa of mouth to an absurdity. You will see engraving* of ladies with months considerably smaller than iheir eve*, which, of course. presuming the fane to h? in proportion, in as much a roontrocity aa if the nioutb. like that of a giant in a pantomime, extended from ear to ear. The female mouth should not he too small. From what we. can gather from contemporary portrait*, supposing them to he true, botli Queen Elizabeth and Mary, Queen of Sitots, bad mouth* much too. 'small to be handsome^ That of the former, the greatest female monarch who has ever evtr existed, should Jiave at least indicated her capacious mind. That of Queen Charlotte was ugly ; that of the princess of that name was a true Brunswick mouth, exhibiting the two front teeth.* from the shortness ?nd curious elevation of the upper lip, wlli.ch is perpetuated in the mules of the" present royal family. 'The bonse of Hfcpshhi'g has also a very ugly mouth, celebrated as the Aus- ' trian rtiouih.~ Certain masters of the ceremonies have written much on the expression of the raourh. 'It is,* says one, 'the f-ature wliich is callfed into pl*y the most frequently; and, therefore, even where beauty of form exists, careful training it needed, to'en&ble it to pariQriD-correouy ?w ntanuoid duties. An eteghnt maimer of uteerenoe renders words, innitftiifioant in themselves, agreesbf<* and persuasive, In the aotof eating, skilful management it neoeraarv.

And the husband answered' 'Yes. mv d? ar, with pleasure' It was quietly, but heartily said; ?he tone, the manner, the look, were perfectly natural and very affectionate. "We thought, how pleasant t at. courteous reply, how gratifying it mus be to the wife. Ma>y husbands of ien yenta' experience are ready enough with courtesies of politeness to the young a lies of their acquaintance, while they ?? eak wiih abruptness to the wiie, and do uaiy rude little V''"g3 without consider-, n r tliem worth an apology. The stranger, whom they may have seen yesterday is listened to with defferenc*, and although the subject may not be of the most pleasant nature, with a ready smile ; while the poojr wile, if she relates a domestic grievance, is snubbed, or listened to with illconcealed impatience. 01 how wrong this is?all wrong. Does she urge some request? 'O, don't bother me ?' cries her gracious lord and master. ?toes she ask for necessary funds for Susy's shoes or Tommy's hat? 'Seems to me you are always wanting money 1' is the handsome retort. Is any little extra demanded by his masculine appetite, it is ordered, not requested. 'Look here, I want you to do ao apd so; just see that it's done;' and off march es Mr. Boor, with a bow and a smile of gentlemanly polish and friendly sweetness for ovory casqal acquaintance he^ipay clvmco to recognise. When we meet with such though tless? ness and conrsenes?, our thoughts revert to the kind voice and gentle minner of the friend who said, 'Yes, my dear, with pleasure.' 'I beg your pardon,'comes to his lips when by any little awkwardness he has d scam e t'd her, a9 it would in tho presence of the most fashionable stickler far etiquette. This is because he is a tnorough gentleman, who thinks his wife in all things entitled to precedence. IJq 1ov63 her best; why should he hesitate to shown; not in sickly, maudlin attention, but in pre'erring her pleasure, and honor* i"g her in public as well as in private. ?Ie knows her worth; why should he hesitate to attest it ? 'And her husbaud, he praiseth her,'said Holy Writ; not by lulsoine adulation, not by pushing her i-harms into ustiee, but by speaking, as opportunity occurs in a manly way ol her virtues. Though words may seem little tilings, and slight attention aliuost ,valueless, yet, depend upon it, {.hey keep the tlamc oright, especially if they are natu? ral. The children grow up in a better moral atmosphere, and learn to respect their parent* as they see them ^respecti.ig each other.
