Six citizens have been killed, anil one marine. All the citizens were killed out side the iunits ot the United Slates territory in Virginia.

Brown says lie has contemplated this movement since lboG. Ail of his party are either i killed or captured except one, who left on ; Monday. They were driven bv the Yir giuians into the armory, and there Col. Lie and 12 marines did the balance.? j All the slaves engaged, if any, were i forced. None of the persons held by Brown were hurt ; although all were in j the building stormed by the marines.? , The books and papers of Brown are secured, which throw- considerable light on the movement. Strange it is, but true, > that Brown and his eighteen men took possession ol the Government property ; and town, and held them during Sunday night and Monday. The toivi ruinent money is all sate.

Certain counties in the i seven States, of which only these map-. : were obtained, bear cross marks, formed by a pen, and in sev< ral instances as it to command greater particularity of atten lion, or to suggest perhaps more available points of attack, circular lines are drawn ar rund the crosses ; The following districts in South Caro I ma (die f.uiiicsl Atlantic Stale North of which any map has been found) are thus specially designated : Marlborough, marked with a cross ; Darlington, the same ; Sutnter, a cross, with a cirele ; Georgetown, with a cross and a single dash pointing southward ; Charleston, near Monk's Corner, a cross and a semi circle; Colleton, between Scull creek and tbo E listo. a cross within a circle ; Saint L ike, near Grahamville, a cross within a double circle ; Orangebuig, on the Middlepen Branch, near Orange burg, a cross within a ciicle ; Barnwell, between Bnck and Turkey Creeks, on the lino of the South Carolina Bail Road, a cross ; Edgefield, near Horn's creek, in lite neighborhood of Williston, a cross ; Abbeville, near Long Cane cre<.k a cr.'S*.

At present, we | beg attention especially to the revelations | of the maps and plans which appeared in the Daily Courier of Monday, (and are | to be found in the Country Courier of Tuesday, 23th inst.)

From Harper's Ferry. Washington, October 26.?A special ' dispatch from Harper's Kerry stales that ! further discoveries liHve been made, of a i nature to prevent their being made public but which tend to the suspicion that the plan of outbreak was much more exteu sive than at lirst supposed. Circumstan cea recently discovered lead to the belief j that the n^gros of the adjoining counties J were cognizant of tho fact that a demon- I stration would be made. It is confidently asserted that Hrown has made disclo sures to Governor Wise, which have been placed in the hands of the Stalo Attorney i to be used on the trial. Cook Arrested CiiAMitKHBut'ito, Pa.

It ia believed he will be acquitted by the military court before which ho is to be tried. 0 The Abolition DemonstrationWe continue the publication this week oT further detail 4 and developments of the late atrocious outbreak at Harper's Ferry. , Although the early reports of the numbers | engaged were greatly exngerated, yet the object and cold blooded designs of Brown and his party are confirmed, and appear i more heinous as the work of disclosure and i investigation progresses. It is ascertained that Brown's project has been known and encouraged for more than a year by large i numbers of leading abolitionists at the North. Among the rest, it was known to i nuil aided by the distinguished Gerrit ! Smith, n innn whom many persons both at the North end at the South supposed j above and incapable of aiding and abetting in a stealthy and murderous attack upon | the lives and institutions of Southern citi- I zens, as the affair at Harper's Perry has j proved to be. Hut this only shows us that 1 their is no length?no sink of perdition to | which these fanatics upon the subject of I slavery will not descend, to accomplish ! their nefarious purposes and we trust I that the Governor and the people of Virgin- j ia will do their whole duty and that enough I evidence of Smith's complicity with Hsown and his colleagues may he discovered, to warrant the Grand Jury in finding a true | bill against him as accessory oefore the | fact, and thus lead to a requisition from the I Governor of Virginia upon the Governor of New York for the delivery of Smith for trial in Virginia. The number of white 'persons actually engaged in the revolt was not more than j about twenty. Their plan and obvious designs were simple enough. They had arranged for the formation of u provisional Government, a new constitution, and had everything in readiness, as they imagined, j for a genetal revolution. They aiitieipnted j that the slaves of the surrounding sections would rise en tnnsse and that revolt and bloodshed would spread with lightning speed over the entire South. This was the programme concocted by our Northern brt thren, by which the sunny South wim tu have been, through the incendiary's torch and the murderer's knife, reduced to utter desolation and ruin. U|u>n one material point these fanatics were mistaken, and that was in reference to the eagerness of the negroes for revolt. The latter were not ripe for the movement. Mad it been otherwise their hellish purposes might have been in a great measure accomplished ; for discoveries have been made, suggesting Ihe belief that fragments of the incendiary band are scattered over the whole South, who at the lirst intimation of the success of the demonstration in Virginia, would have been ready to extend the torch of rebellion, and the citizens from Maryland to Texas simultane-' ously made to feel the existence of abolitionism in i>s most fiendish shape in their very midst. A low of our most zealous statesmen have warned us time and again of the probability of such a condition of affairs being experienced in the South at some time in the future, if the tide of abolition fury ;.t the North wua 'jot checked. .Many of us hooted at tUt- idea and thought that the danger existed but in the imaginations of si/jiifl of our fire-eating politicians ; but tlie prophesy does not now seen) so absurd ?the design <4* committing the slave owners of the South to the torch and the knife has been meditated, encouraged by leading men nt the North and the design actually attempted to tie put in execution. It is time that the South should look seriously into this tiling. A palpable warning is given us of the fate that is designed for us, i and we will bo recreant to ourselves, regardless of the safety of our families and of the w ell being of posterity, if we hike no steps to arrest it I a t us endeavor to i inovu in concert, set our houses in order, I looking to the grand event which has been mooted for years and which circumstance* now indicate as affording the only haven of i security for the South, viz : a dissolution of the Union. Practical higher-taw.ism is no longer looked upon as a crime at the North. Under any circumstances we should feel ourselves contaminated by association with a people who habitually preach and practice it; but when the docL/thy is pointed directly to the destruction of as i'jititution which constitutes the sole source of our prosperity as a people and l*ildly attempted to be carried into practical operation, then it is time for us to dissolve our connection with those who thus outrage us and set at defiance our onlv shield of protection, and endeavor to preserve intact our own inherent love for obedience to law and constitutional nuth<*jc i'y.

In the latter part of tlio month of April of the present year, a business transaction called me lo thin place. I then furnished your readers with a desultory epistle, con- | tnining a '"few remarks," about the Town, ! its inhabitants, surroundings, the Court and j soforlh. The Fair, I mean the Mecklenburg Agri- 1 cultural Fair, has again induced me to visit this T ?.vn. I came to look, circulate, examine th j ways and doings of an eminently pre deal and successful people, catch an idea or two and enjoy the intercourse and society of such acquaintances and friends as I might happen to meet?probably to , make a few more. Such was about the Vrogratutno which I had figured out to gov- | ern me. i did not calculate to reduce to j writing, any observations or remarks thereon. I was disinclined to write and especially so when i reflected that the columns of your paper during the past summer had been ' tilled up'' with the scribblings of tho same correspondent. Notwithstanding I have commenced this, letter I am still disinclined to w rite. On tho present occasion I ; have neither the predisposition or the formed state of the ailment called K'car.urlhes scribe mil." lint recalling to mind that many of your readers arc aware that I am here and knowing that a letter is expected, and will be looked for in your next issuo, I | have concluded as a matter of duty to write, if it should turn out to be an npolo- { gv for not writing. Just here I would say, ' that should the ailment alluded to lix itself upon me in a formed state, and I should ever bore your readers w ith my eorrespon- , donee, lite blame must rest upon those rea- j ders who have heretofore so profusely Mattered my efforts, and warmly thanked me for my contributions, accompanied with the request of n continuation thereof. A disposition not to disappoint and nn inclination to gratify those of your renders who are looking out. ate the incentives to this w ? - - - - I letter. In company with Messrs. H. A. Spring*, L H Mafsey and Thon Whilesidcs, (of j York.) I visited an informal meeting of the | Pootological Society. A great many vnrie- j ties of choice fruits, particularly the apple, wore on exhibition Considerable interest was manifested by those in attendance in t examining and tasting the new and choice | varieties I was struck with the promptness with which gentlemen could pro- t nnunce the names of the different apples j shown to them?the apple being as familiar j by sight as if the name was labelled upon it. It was tho li'ghest evidence of the interest. progress and Improvement of the membe's. This Society will contribute largely t?> the improvement of the fruits < ! the country, and it is to he hoped their praiseworthy efforts may ho blessed with the choicest fruits Some as large apples I as I have ever seen were exhibited. Dr. A. | P.

The Societj fas recently purchased and located the present Fair grounds. It is eon- I venient to the Town, well laid out, easy of J access, being on the main road or street.

Upon inquiry, hiwuv?ti I ascertained the neighbor ing counties and the District* of l.incnster ami York, lutd oontri anuU-d to swell the 1 number. At n guess I would say over one ' hundred of tUo horse kind were on exhibition?classified according to thp premium list. , Mr. Adam (aordon, of l^ineuster, took j the premium of a>Uver tioMet lor the see.

The singlu and double harness horses, the brood mares and colts, saddle horses sod young geldings and fillies and the sleek mules, presented u handsome and in?* posing cavalcade, and augured well for the prosperity and enterprise oJ their respective owners, and also formed n good index of the judgment nnd success of tfie neighborhoods from which they cnipe. In their appcitfanee and action beauty nnd service were combined. Th"re is one species of the norm- kind which in invariably unprofitable and expensive to his owner : thai i* the race horse, with ju?t enough muscle, apecd and bottom to lose every race in which he is entered by his owner, whose zeal u often stronger than his judgment. I did not observe any of this okas* of horses and was very glad that I did rjol The Cattle were numerous. Many were thorough bred and beautiful. Mostly of the Deavon and Durham breeds. Mr. A. II. Davidson, the worthy President of the the Kocicly, exhibited several choice animals. Among the number was a thorough bied Durham Rail, purchased when a calf st the Fair in Richmond. IFe am nwnrd- I ed the first premuim of a pair of Silver , i Candlesticks. Several of his ofFsp.ing were I on exhibition and took premiums also. I , I noticed and examined this animal with in- 1 I teroat and care, because he is the sire of < "vur calf.'* I fancied it would not bo a I great while before "our calf" would be taking premiums too. To Dr. Holt was awarded the first pretui- j' um of a Silver Card Basket, for his tho- | rough bred North Devon Bull. F ait) gratified to inform your readers this beautiful animal goes to our District, having been purchased by our public spirited friend M. ; P. Crawford, K?| Major Young received ! a premium ror the best lot of Milk Cows, ' and for the single best milk cow, giving five j gallons and one pint of milk per day. In 1 passing about looking at the cattle, I came across a deaf anil dumb negro who had the management of a Devon [lull, upon in. qjuiry, I ascertained he belonged to a gentleman who was also deaf and dumb. Probably as many as 20 premiums were given on rattle Among the products of the Farm were I reported 310 bushels of Irish, ami 39'J bushels of Sweet Potatoes per ncr?. Some choice looking Tobacco, raised in the vicinity of Charlotte was also exhibited. Mr. King, neai this place, lias planted this year a full crop of this weed, the income from which will more than double that of a lik* number of hand* engaged in malting cottonin North or South Carolina. I noticed* ?n the Ibaniestic linn a very soperinr pnir of lllnnkets, and also a Straw Carpet, the tilling of which was Rye straw. In the Iridic* dcpaitment many huautifnl and handsome articles were to be seen. Such as Itrandy Peaches, Pr? serves. Pickles, Jollies, Marmalade. Butte*', Blackberry, Strawbetry, Tomato and Muscadine Wines, Wax Fruit, Needle Work, Kmbroidery, ' Quilts, Counterpanes and soforth. In many, very many of the arlHcs contributed by the fair hands of the fair sex, great taste, skill, ingenuity and science was manifested and displayed, exhibiting a combination of the useful and ornamental, a thorough know ledge of the practical purposes of life. An education calculated to make a good wife and n proper mother. Such wives, hih'Ii mothers, ulwiiyii make happy homes. The machinery nnd farming implement* were numerous ami highly creditable.

A HISTORY OF ALL RELIGIONS 5 CONTAIN I MO A statement if the origin, development, doctrines and government of the Religious Denominations in Europe and the I'm ted States, icith biographical sketches of emi nent divines. By Samuel ,\l. Smurker, hit. D. Published by Duane Rulison, Quaker City Publishing House, South Third Street, Philadelphia. Pa. The subject of Religion and the Doctrines of Sects must alwav* have an absorbing interest 1 for the thoughtful observer, and a work which affords the desired information, in a convenient and accessible form, at a moderate price, has been urgently demanded, and will be sought for with aridity, and must command a large sale. In the present work, the origin, development doctrinal belief. Church government and pe. culiarilics of over eighty different religious sects, are treated in a style, clear, compendious ! and accurate, and will afford all the inforina. tion which might be procured with great dilKcult} and expense and much labor and resenrch, from the larger polemical works and encyclopedias. I)r. Smucker has evidently prepared this : work with much care, and it exhibits great ability and learning. The articles on the different religions are very impartially written, ami show the careful study of an unprejudiced and sound mind ; and the importance arid value cannot be too highly estimated of such superior and uubiaaae 1 effort in a work of this kind, as too ofUn, those pretending to give correct information upon such subjects are prejudiced in favor of some particular sects or denominations. Mr. Kulison has brought out the work in a very handsome form, ami the public is indebted to hiin lor a very valuable, instructive and useful tsxik. The price, l.OO, is remarkably low for such a work, ami in order that it may have a rapid and extensive circulation, he will send it to any address, accompuniod with a valuable (lift, on tli receipt of the price and twenty cents to prepay postage. M r. Kulison will send free, on application, his new, enlarged ami revised Catalogue of Hooks and Oifls, containing all information re ' lative to the establishment of Agencies in the (lilt Hook business.
