ONCE. "Did you ever nttend a theatre?" said a young man to a blue-eyed maiden, who hung on his arm as they promenaded the streets of New York, one mild evening in October. The cheek of the lady crimsoned with a blush, as she answered the in terrogatory in the negative, and added : "My mother has taught me from chilhood that it was wrongtovisitsuch places." ' "Rut your mother funned, perhaps, improper prejudice?, from exaggerated accounts given by others ; for I have often heard your mother say she never attended one in her life." And he spoke eloquently of the drama, comedy, and iragedy ;and itwelt with pathos en the iinpoit.'.ut lessons which : we there learn of hiiir'an nature. "Go with me i vner," said he, "and judge for yourself." Persuasion and curiosity triumphed over mater j nal precept and example, as she hesitatingly re j plied "I'll go but one?." . I She went, and in that theatre n rliann came j over her like the one which the serpent sent forth I from his dovelike eyes, Shewentagainand again; ! and from that house of mirth and laughter she was led toone from the portals of which she never , returned. ' Around a centre table, where an astral lamp was . shedding its mild light, sat three young ladies, while one held in her hand a pack of cards. At 1 the back of the chair stood a young gentleman, -who j for years had successfully resisted every effort made by his companions, to induce hint to learn the characters on cards. i "Come V said she, "we need one to make out our game; play with us owe, if you never play i again." i Her eye, cheek, and lips conspired to form an el oquent buttery, which sent lorth its attacks upon the fortress of good resolutions, in whicn he had long stood secure ; until it fell like the walls of an ancient city, when jarred by the fearful battering ram. He learned the cards and played. A few weeks aftorwards.I was passing his room art a late hour and a candle was shedding its dim light through the window. Since that time I have look ed from my chamber nearly cveiy hour of the night, "trom close ol Cay tin early morn, .una seen that light faintly struggling through the cur tains that screened fie inmates of that . room from every eye, save His which seeth alike, in darkness and noonday. Gaming brought with it diseases : and death came, just as he had numbered the half of his three-score years and ten, During his last hours,! was sitting by his bed-side, wlieu he fixed on me a look which I shall nevar forget, and bade me listen to hisdvinir words : - "I might have been a different man from what , I am, oiu u is too utie now. i nui u hivur um, there is a state of existence beyond the grave ; and when I think of the retribution which awaits me in yonder world, I feel a horror which language is inadequate to describe." These were among the last words he uttered. The junior class of a southern college had as sembled in a student's room to spend the night in riot and debauch. Amid that crowd was one who had never recited a bad lesson since his matricu lation. In his studies lie was a "head and should ers" above his class. That day be had failed. A shade of deepest gMm came over him, and he was indescribably melancholy. But the wine and jest passed around, while he himself felt like Lucifer in Eden, where all was joy and gladness around him. Said a classmate : "Come, Bab, quafTthis bumper, and it wilt make you feel ns bright as a hermit's lamp." The temp tation whispered in his ear, "drink once and lor- j get the past. A similar occasion will never re turn." A powerful struggle seemed going en in his mind for a moment; but at last he silently shook his head, and retiring to a prove. Rave- vent to his feelings in a flood of tears. That boy never drank not even once. He look the valedictory, is now D. D., and President of a college. Once once! oh ! on this slender pivot hath turn- ed for weal or wo, the destiny of man) a death j less spirit. Ca?sar paused but" once on the banks j of the Rubicon; but it was a pause like that which nature makes when she ia gathering her j elements for the desolating tornado. Eve ate the -forbidden fruit but once, and her countless poster ity have felt the fearful consequences resulting tr'om that rasn act. Reader ! remember once. $62,314 55 8H)2,314 65 The Counties of Alamance, Alexander, Fnrsvthe, Gaston, Union and Watauga will receive their po'tions from the Counties, respectively out of which they have been erected. In adjusting the Federal population of Henderson and Rutherford counties, according to the enum eration of the inhabitants made under the act of 1846, and assigning to Henderson that portion of the S.tinnl Fund, to tt'li ii h shn was entitled under that net and which had been received by Rutherford, the sum of 8223 is taken from the distributive share of Rutherford and added to that of Henderson, as exhib ited in the above table. The following Counties having had pupils at tho Deaf and Dumb Institute, for the last year of that School, ending on 1st May, 1850, and having failed to pay to this Board the tax of g75, for the educa tion and support of each Scholar, that sum is now deducted from tho shares of these Counties respec tively, according to the act of the General Assembly, to wit : Alamance 1 Scholar, deducted from Orange, $75, Cumberland 1 do 75, Davidson 1 do 75, Forsyiho deducted from Sinkes, 75, Gaston do from Lincoln, 75, Hydo 2 Scholars, ''.'-''- 150, Johnston 2 do 150, Martin . . 2 do 150, Uraiign 1 do 75, Richmond 1 ' do 75, Wake 2 do 150. Raleigh, October 3rd, 1850. 45- Two Duelists. The Chronicle of Western Literature tells the following story of a Col. Wheat ly. It may be old but it' good; "The Col. during a short sojourn inVicksburp, met there some hot blooded southerner with a spirit at tiery as hi own, They quarrelled a challenge pas-ed tnd wat accepted, and the next rising sun ws to wiines one, if not both, their find bodies drenched in blood, to wash out wounded bonr. During the night, the Colonel said ho beard a boat rowing up the river, and it slrurk him that "prudence wa t'ie better part of valor," No he took his trunk nron hiaifrsilderand steppe d, in the dead night, very quietly out-of hi hotel: as he ncarrd the boat, whom should he see but hi antagonist at tho boat before him, just going on board. He returned a quietly s he had gone out, w.m en the giound next morning wun nm seeonn, waited With wrath for his antagonit,and published him as an absconding coward. IvnstASA all Right.

We have often heard the inquiry, why are the Northern papers so much cheaper than those in the South T The reason is this: The money that ought to he expended on Southern papers is sent to the North to emble them to publish cheap papers, and thus enable them to keep the South flooded with their sneers, taunts and abuse. If you want cheap and good papers in the South, reuse the suicidal course of sending your money to the North and erpend it on Sonthern papers. ...-' Southern AdWaJe. v . . NORTH.

Int. Prmtoestul Election, 1853.

As barbecues have been more common during the last summer than at any former period since our recollection, we have thought that an account of their origin would not be uninteresting tg our readers. When David, King of Israel, was old and well stricken in years, and his whole court saw that he must speedily die, (for Abishag, the beautiful young Shunammitish virgin, as well as every other means that had been used, had failed to get him heat,) Adonijah, the son of Haggith, brother of Absalom, and half brother to Solomon, was minded to make himself king in place of Solomon, the son of Bath sheba.whom David had already appointed hissuc cessor. He. therefore. havinu conferred with some of his leading friends with Joab, the son of Zeru- iah, and Abiathar, the prieot gave a grand bar- j becne. He slew sheep, and oxen, and fat cattle, and invited all his adherents to the entertairmem. And esiecially he invited all his bretheren, except Solomon, (whom be left out,) and all the men of Judah. He left out also, Nathan, the Prophet and Benaiah, and other mighty men, who belonged to Solomon'sparty. Tho barbecue was held by the stone of Zoheleth, which is by Enrogel. And here Adonijah put on the royal purple, and a crown upon his head .and all the people cried out" God save King Adonijah." But in the midst of their feasting and rejoicing of the eating and drinking, and while the adherents of Adonijah were no doubt parcelling out among themselves the good fat offic.ee which were to be theirs, and rehearsing over the mighty deed of cluvilry winch they were severally toperiorm in dissolving the kingdom aud throwing off the joke of their lawful sovereiirn.word came that Solomon had been regularly annointed King in the stead of his father, David. Immediately they were an soil ed with a panic, their knees Snote to gether, and sverv man seamrjered offas fast as his legs could carry him, Adonijah himself being one of the first to cut slick. Thus ended the first barbecue of which we have anv authentic account, one thousand and fifteen yeare before Christ. A Dutchman, asserting his desire, to be der, Preserdenchy of der United Slates," was impor tuned as to what he would do insuch an event. "Unt." he replied. "1 would have sour krauts unt gabbage all der times." The cititens of Augusta have recently given a dinner to the lion. Geo. W.Cwwlord on theoeea r ion of his return home from Washington City. The nartv was a Iarce one, some 700 were present They could not have honored a worthier man. ila xade a Seulhern and Union speech. From the North Carolina Argus. England can boast her Shakspeare. Milton, Dry den, and a host of other poets and literary men ; Scotland can boast her Burns, Scott, Campbell, a ml the rest of this ilk ; Ireland may talk of her Moore, Sheridan, Steele, Goldsmith, and as many more as she likes ; the Continent of Europe generally has had some literary men in times gone past ; Homer, Virgil, Oss.ian,,were men of some note, no doubt ; America, too, has had men of note: All these, however, must stand in the 'shade, and more in sorrow than in anger niust acknowledge their vast inferiority to the poet whose merits we are aliout to bring to tie notice jf the public, and from whose works we are about to extract some gems, so that j we may hold then op to the astonished gaze of an I admiring world !' Without more circumlocution, therefore, we will introduce the book containing'the above-mentioned gen's to the reader. It is culled . ; " Poo;, by C. AugusTL-s PiucE," . The author, we are beatified to say, is " one, of us," being one of the editors of the Camden Journal. ; The Erst gem we quote is from the dedication : Go, little'lmnk, and with thy littlo thoughts Cause but a sigh from 1ier,whose name yon bear; Then shall I gain the object which I sought, If sighs but tell my -memory still is there.' The author seems to lint that his book bears the name of some cherished fair one. Tl.is is not quite so plain to us, however, as wo can find no other allusion in the whole book to any such lady. It is almost a pi ly that the author talks as he does. Of course he means it in fun ; hut still it is, as we be fore said, rather a pity that the author talks about the little thoughts contained in the book, as an in vidious world ni ght take him at his Word, and give him credit but for little thoughts. . j The next gem we will extract is contained in his ' Poem. It is as follows ; ' - For thou wast born 'mid sadness in the heart, ; ' And sloruis of feeling blew thy craft to sea : ' Tho' hope would sometimes come and take the helm, . And moor itsafe upon some sunny lea. This stanza sliows how Completely independent of common things your true poets are. If Hope is wont to take the vessels under his charge out of the open sea way and moor them hard and fast upon 9ome sunny 'ea, should we ever go into the coasting business, it is mere than probable w e will not employ pilot Hope. We have known pilots to run vessels ashore before now ; but never knew them to receive much praise for the exploit. How ever, as we said before, your true poets can afford to be independent of mundane things. ' The next gem is as follows : But history will not let mc ahroud The facts so widely known, Without a brief apology For fiction, when its grown. : It is a great pity that your truo poets cannct Bhroud the truth a little, without an apology, when common 'mortals often lie unlilusliingly, and with impunity. To ordinary understandings the sense of the above quotation seems shrouded as well as the truth ; but your true poets are always dark, so that tho common herd cannot understand them. The following quotation is a true specimen of the independence nf your genuine poet, who cares nei ther for sound nor measure ; but blodly holds forth his beauties to the world, without any of those lit tle attentions bestowed by minor minds on their works, going on the principle that "beauty una dorned is adonred the most." Those who have read of Scottish Earls The deadly feud of their clans May well suppose the dreadful fray That came 'tween the kinsman's bands. Then comes the following : His cell was close her father's door, A chinqne was in the wall, And daily, cakes sho brought him, ; Well wrapped beneath her shawl. Hope she did not dirty her shawl; but if the cakes were made of greasy materials, and she continued long at the practice, we fear very much for the pu rity of this article of dress, so essential in cold weather. The next quotation reads thus : 'Tie hope, the magic anchor, that bears the soul aloft; 'Tie hope that sustains the feelings fine and soft. In this conplet you perceive how truly indepen dent of muudane things our poet is. You see he make an anchor buoy up things, when your com mon herd would stick an anchor to anything they would keep to this earth, or that they would sink to the bottom of the ocean. If hope be anything like anc7ior we have seen, it would take a good deal of gas to raise ; but nf this article we presume our poet has plenty. The Chinese make their an chors of wood. They are celestial. Our poet is more celestial still, for lie makes an anchor that bears things aloft. The next gem we quote because it is sublime ; but we confess our mabilily to understand it all. On beauty's brow, a sparking gem, That's decked with brighter none, A geographical diadem, Surpassing Orion. In the fallowing extract we see our poet has sa crificed both rhyme and measure, so that he might tell us what awfully long steps Napoleon was wont to take. Hope the poor General did not hurt his unmentionables in the operation. Napoleon took three mighty steps 1 Europe, Africa, Asia Cast from the dizzy heights one glance, And died in Helena. The nextquotation is from a piece called " Th last Rose of Summer." We insert it to show how vastly inperior this piece is to a miserable piece of tho lame name written by one Tom Moore, who evidently stole his idea from our poet. The last rose of Sum'r, what a charm ha'ngsaround, 1 linger as I look, and saddened, yet spell bound. But we will quote no more. The whole book is a galaxy f precious gems, set by th hand of a master workman, who, doubtless, will one day or other gat astraddle of bisownanVjr,nd bebirne I aloft, . ''TDK STARS AND STRIPES..

The billows had surroun ded her, and her anxious crew had seen her even on her beam ends amid the fury of that elemental war ; but how joyful at length was the cry which rose : " She rights sli e lights, boys we're oft" shore.'' May her voyage go on prosperously, the stare shining propitiously upon her ocean path, until at 'length -she reaches port kden with a nation's blessings. . . - '. - The resolutions adopted by the mfcling were in troduced by Judge James H. Veazie, a lending Democrat, who, on offering them, made an able speech, commencing thus: Mr. President, I am a Democrat my, a Loco foco, whose attachment to his party has never wa vered, nor will it ever, while that party exists. But I renounce all schismatics; all little squads, which seek tn make new tests of party allegiance, and interpolate new doctrines on the party creed.

As ridiculous a disparity is : From the New York Express, PROTECTION TO NORTHERN AND SOU . ;. THERN LABOR. Protection to American Labor is a cardinal poinitintlie Whig creed ; but in Syracuse, at the recent Convention there, a distinction Is drawn in the resolution especially thanking only one of our Congressmen, by which Southern Labor is de nounced, though in yetannther resolution, Protect ion for Northern Labor is demanded. The im- nnssihilitv of denouncing Southern labor, and yet of protecting Northern Labor, is a point we want to bring home to such manufacturing towns as U tica, Troy, Syracuse, Poughkeepsie, and to such counties as Essex, Clinton, Washington, Monroe, indeed to the whole State. For the same party to protect Northern labor and tn denounce Southern labor, is so impossble, however, that but to state the proposition is to demonstrate the impossibility. The Utica man, for example, who with his every breath clamors for nrotectinn for his labor, and denounces the la bor of Ihe Sonthern Whig, is so inconsistent a nd so irrational that he not only brings ridicule upon himself, but contempt. The selfishness nf the contradiction is so transparent, that he who runs m read it : and when the New Yorker, breath ing sneh animosity to the Georgian, demands of that Georgian "help, the Georgian anuuarounian, Tennesseanand Kentuckian, naturally turns from his selfishness with disgust. The picture to this country that the Fyracnsans in their 'especial' resolution present, is one that must disgust all mankind. They divide the Whig Parly in order to deify an idol man of their own, which idol is nothing but a Juggernaut, riding ri ver all their intorests. all their labor, all the preju dices of one portion of our common country ; and yet, in another resolution, they u 'or ana orotection to Northern industry, Northern capital, Northern American labor. The inmuristenry of Ihe act seems never to have struck them J and they go coolly, nay, almost impudently, cursing Southern labnr.r.nd crying for the South to pro tect the labor of the North. Tariffs for protection in this country, it is clear, are extinct, until ihe protection is equal, universal. The North alone can never be isolated and protect ed, while the South is accursed. No Southern man will ever vote protection to Syracuse salt, or Oneida cotton jennies, or Troy loiunhries, or Clinton iron, until Syracuse, Oneida, Tiny, and Clinton cease their war upon Southern ion-resi. Almost the whole lah&r of the South is slave la hor, and thai :. the labor of fif'"en Slat 's of our Union ; am) how cin the Northern Stale hep for ipct praU'Ctbn for their Ulwrj when uuccas- she will, submit to this damning wrong and take patiently, the lash, to be it. We can live, we pre sume, whore others live, but, thank God, live where we will, and die w here we nmy, neither the sin of concealed traitorism, nor the open shame of having sold our country for party, will ever follow us with curses. We have but one word more t say now. Nothing but Union' can now save the South, the. Union, and the Constitution. That union .must be on the Missouri line. It w 'as ls- . SUE OF LIFE AND DEATH.
