INTERCOURSE AT THE TABLE.-To meet at the
well, ought to be happiness to any heart I; it
should be source of humble gratitude, and ;,
should wake up the warmest feelings of our
nature. Shame on the contemplate and low
bed cur, whether parent or child, that can
never come 70 the breakfast table, where the
family have met in health, only to frown and
whine, and growl. and ire.t- 1t is prima facie
evidence of mean, and grovelling, and self
ish, and degraded nature, whencesoever the
chuEl may have sprung. Nor is it less repre-
bensibe to make such exhibitions at the tea
fable; for before the morning comes, some of
the circle may be stricken by some de adly dis
ease, to gather round that table not again for
ever. Children in good health, if left to
themselves at the table, become, after few
mouthsinls, gurrulous and noisy, bnt If within
atail bearable bounds it is better to let them
alone, they eat less, because they do not eat
so rapidly as if compelled to keep silent, while
the very exhiliration of spirits quickens the
circulation of the vital fluids, and energizes
digestion and assimilation. The extremes of
society curiously meet in this regard. The
tables Of the rich and the mobiles of England
are models of mirth, wit and bonbomme; it
takes hours to get through repast, and they
i've long. If anybody will look in upon the
negroes Of a well-io-do family in Kentucky
While at their meals, they cannot but be i'm.
pressed with the perfect abandon of jabber,
cachination and mirth it seems as if they
could talk all day, and they live long. 1t fol-
lows then, that at the family table all should
meet, and do it hahitually, to make a common
interchange of high-bred courtesies, of warm
affections, of cheering mirthfulness, and that
generosity of nature which lifts us above the
oTntes which perish, promotive OF these things
are of good digestion, high health and long life.

PENSACOLA NAvY-YARD BURNEp..-By re-
cent news from the south, we learn tha
Captain Brown, who is in command of Fort
Pickens, has succeeded in burning the Pensa-
cola Navy yard. by throwing hot shot into it
from the Fort. The distance is about miles,
and must have taken some sharp shooting to
accomplish its destruction. This is consider
able Of loss TO the United States Govern
ment; bnt at the same time it MAY prove of
much greater Inconvenience TO the rebels who
have no navy. Be this it may, important
or not important to the government, the Navy
yard has been destroyed. But the most inn
portant news which we have to communicate
10 the people of this county at the present is,
that Richard Mossop has just opened large
stock OF goods at his cheap cash store which,
We are told he is selling exceeding low for
cash. All who are Interested in this fact,
should call and make the proper inquiry with
out delay. .7t ss-

The Health of Charlotte.

We have heard that the appreheusious
which excited in the minds of some peo.
pic, that Charlotte was an unhealthy local
ity had tended in some degree, to iujure
the excellent schools of that hourishing
embryo city AS affecting the correctness
of these appreheusions, we publish the fol-
lowing portion of the Annual Report Of
deaths in that place during the year 1850,
made by DR. Gibbon and published in the
Bulletin. There were SO deaths from all
causes. Twenty.one of these were of per-
sons under two years of age, and six from
two years to ten. The report proceeds:
These figures show three very important
facts. First, That Charlotte is free from 10.
cal disease. Second, That nearly one-half
of the deaths was of children under ten
years of age. Third, That the mortality in
Charlotte is greatly below the average NOR.
tality throughout the world. Divide our
28OO population by 81, and you will get
quotient of about 50; that is, the average
mortality in Charlotte is in so, whereas,

Refusal Of Glen. Houston to Cooperate
with the Administration.

WASHINGTON, April 10, 1861.-A few
weeks since distinguished democrat was
requested by Secretary Seward to go to
Texas, and ascertain the state of the pub
lie mind there, and especially to converse
with Governor Houston, and learn his views
of the present secession movement in that
State. On his return he reported that Gov.
Houston not only refused to accept military
support from the United States Government,
but desired that President Lincoln should
recall the regular troops from Texas. He
also reported that Gov. Houston urged in
the strongest terms the evacuation of Forts
Sumter and Pickens, stating that Arkansas
will join Texas in secession in the event of
coercion, or even the collection of the rev.
enue being attempted. Cow Houston re-
quested to be left alone, and maintained
that the Union party of the entire South
was dead if coercion was once attempted.
This account appeared to President Lin
coin so much at variance with what was
understood here to be the opinion Of Cav
ernor Houston, and knowing the political
proclivites of the ambassador, the Presi.
dent Immediately dispatched another mes
seuger to Governor Houston, and without
waiting for his return has sent forward the
troops to Texas.
There IS reliable information to show
that the late publication that General Am
pudia was marching on Brownsville is false.
On the contrary, he has retired from the
army, gone into the interior, and has no
means, even if he had the disposition, to
enter upon such an enterprise. Besides,
the Constitutional Government is opposed
to any such movements.

THE BULLET as. THE BALLOT.

Mr.. Seward, and endorsed by the Republi
can party, has at length attained to its log.

these men, flushed with the power and pat
ronage Of the Federal Government, have
mady rushed into civil war, which will
probably drive the remaining Slave States
into the arms of the Southern Confederacy,
and dash to pieces the last hope for recon.
struction of the Union.
To the gallant men, who are so nobly de-
Tending the flag of their country within the
walls of Fort Sumter, the nation owes a
debt of eternal gratitude-pot less than to
the equally gallant and patriotic spirits,
who, in like obedience to the demands Of
duty, are perilling their lives and shedding
their blood in the heroic, but, as yet, un.
successful endeavor to afford them succor.
But, to the cold, ,blooded, heartess dema-
gogues, who started this civil war-them'
ss1Nss magnanimously keeping out of the
reaeH of bodily barm-we can only say,
you must find your account, if not at the
hands of an indignant people, then in the
tears of widows and orphans. The people
of the United States, it must be borne in
mind, petitioned, begged and implored
these men, who are become their accidental
masters, to give them an opportunity to be
heard, before this unnatural strife was push

ing the Presidents watch chain, drew the
watch by it out of the fob, remarking naive
ly ''fue watch-how'll you trade ?" Be-
fore Gen. Davis could make up his mind on
this proposition, Col. Pollard came in and
saluted "President Davis"
The clerk dropped the watch in the
Presidents lap, fell backwards over bis

his books promiscuously.
So they tell the tale. For ourselves, we
