Editor of the Bulletin : I 1 A country friend of mine had his pocket picked of over $250 at Barnum's Museum last nightv I wish I could instil iato the minds of your readers; the propriety of staying away altogether irom dramatic performahces, or of goW at once to a well conducted theatre.- No New Yorker thinks of the " Museum,'' which is considered, by us, a low affair, got up to make money; by pandering to the curi osity and uncultivated tastes of gaping coun trvman. who are attracted bv the wretched performance of five or six tenthirate musiciansj hired by Barn urn to strum away on a balcony, and bv large daubs representing the imposi- tions upon public credulity that he has inside. The dramatic performances, dancing, and singing, in this. establishment, are of so vulgar and coarse a kind, that a man of any taste could not be hired to witness them for 05 a night; and an actor of the first grade would not allow his name to be connected with it, for any money.

ANOTHER ABOLITION OUTRAGE! A friend in Ashe County of high character and whose statements may, be implicitly relied on, has communicates to us for publication an account an of Abolition outrage which recently took, place in Gravson Cou.t v. Vu. ueurthe North Carolina line. . i . : It seems that Crooks and Bicon have been preaching their Abolition doctrines in Grayson County, for sometime pas', and liave couver led to their doctrines and pressed into their service seyeral citizens of that County. " They at length succeeded in forming a company of slaves,1 to desert their masters and escape to a free S ate. The plot appears to have been pretty extensive though only four negro men met at the time and place appointed, who were armed with scythe blades, clubs, and dirk knives; They were discovered in their camp, and surrounded by six or eight men, who at. tempted to arrest them. In the struggle that ensued, one gentleman by the name of Bartlett (brother to the Sheriff of Ashe,) was instantly killed, by a bfow with a scythe Made, which cleft his bead quite open. ' Another gentleman received a gash in the head, tha weapon pene. trating; through the skull into the brain. Two other gentlemen were seriouly wounded, one of whom received a stab in the back of his neck which greatly endangers his life. Two of the ner w, iwe learn, huve been appre hended, and every ffrt is being made lo se cure the othur t;vo, ts well ns some whit viiliaus who are s jppo?cd ii be the instigator. ni uw ouiiHgf; . -mo one oouois, aaus our Correspondent, that "this outrage is the legiti mate result of the preaching of Bacon and his comrade; and if they are allowed to remain a- mong us, we may expeef a repetitioe of similar i scenes.' j Bacon and Crooks, our readers wilhreraem ber, are the men n ho were driven from Guil- fosd by tjQjytijncd bV,te citizens had hoped that they had 'left the State (for good; but it would seem that they, are still, or have been recently, in Ashe County and just over the Virginia line. Where are .they now! Why are these men permitted to breathe among our people! They are mur. dercrs; and if the law. cannot reach them as as such, let the strong arm of the people be put forth, in the open day, for their extermination, Afterwbat has happened especially alUr this outrage in Grayson County we would as soon parlely with a bear or a tiger as with these .nen.
