FULL. PARTICULARS OF THE
INSURRECTION IN VIRGINIA.
BALTIMORE, October IL,


Rumors reached this city, this morning, OF Sc
rious instruction at Harpers Ferry, Virginia.
The trains on the Baltimore and Ohio Road have
been stopped the telegraph wires cut and the town,
with all the public works, are in possession OF the
insurgents At first was believed that the report
was an exaggeration of an affray among the Gov
eminent employees at the armory Later despatch
es from MOnocacy, the nearest station to Harper s
Ferry confirm the first statements as to trains be-
ing stopped, aud add that several railroad employ
ces have been killed. The negroes have been
seized on the plantations upon the Maryland side
of the river, and carried over and made join the
insurgents.
All statements concur that the town is in COM
plete possession of the insurgents, together with
the armory, the arsenal, the pay office ard the
bridge. The insurgents are composed OF whites
and blacks supposed to be led by AbolitiOnists.
Some suppose that plumber of the arms and am
munitiOn and Government money is their object.
One hundred United States marines from the
Washington barracks, with two II Founders, went
up this afternoon, and will reach there about O.
clock. Their orders are to clear the bridge at all
hazards. Three companies of artillery from Old
Point arc also on their way thither Six seven
companies of volunteers from Baltimore and Fred
erick have been accepted by the President, and go
up on extra trains.
The insurgents are said to number GOO to 500,
under the leadership of named Anderson,
recently arrived a. the Ferry.
report from merchant at lIarper's Ferry
states that most of the citizens had been imprisoned
and many killed. All the avenues to the town
are barricaded and guarded.
The general belief here is that it is move of
the Abolitionists. Secretary Floyd, some weeks
ago, received an anonymous letter, informing him
that there would be rising, and an attempt made
to capture the armory, but it was too indefinite
and improbable to be believed.
These reports may be greatly exaggerated, but
there is, undoubtedly, serious disturbance going
Two companies from Richmond, Va, have been
ordered into service, and will probably leave on
special train tonight.

FASHIONS. - The Paris correspond
emit of the Journal Of Commerce says the mods
fes are doubling the number of delicate fingers
and winning faces in their employment, to meet
the demand for new fancies. Among the elegant
creations for full dress occasions says the same
correspondent-are the new styles of Grape skirts
entirely covered with chicoree ruches of Grape in
stead of founces. On the corsage there is de-
scription of fchu with long ends, composed of
Grape ruches and white blonde. With these
dresses there are always long skirt with an open
tunic, rounded at the corners. Light blue velvet
is fashioned with cassock body this corsage is
cut low, and has a velvet berthe forming point
before and behind. Each edge of the berthe is
ornamented with Gordon of foliage, and is bor-
dered by rich blonde. On the middle of the
berthe there is surrounded by velvet foliage.
The sleeve is of tulle; at the top the plaits are
fastened down; it falls in graceful point below
the waist A small Gordon of velvet foliage runs
down the edges. The skirt is entirely covered
with double tulle frs falling one over the other.
like pufings. A Gordon of velvet foliage is placed
round the bottom of the skirt. For young ladies,
toilet of simple tarlatane is much in favor. The
corsage, skirts and sleeves are entirely composed
of rows of puffings confined by small white silk
cords which run between the rows On the body
these cords are an inch and half apart; on the
skirt about two inches. On both body and skirt,
the pufings smaller near the waist. The sash
is white silk ribbon, with a cord clasp in the
center of the bow. On each shoulder there is
coral clasp between two ribbon loops. The couture
consists of the hair being turned back and fastened
with bow, low behind; string of coral is mixed
with the hair

And seldom, if ever, an error does make.

Are taken in a style to suit the mind,
For few weeks only, at just half price,
He will take your pictures, and that in trice.
Then walk right up to the Daguerrean Car,
You Ladies and Gents that come from afar,
And you that live near should never delay,
But quick get a likeness, for you twill pay.
His Car is opposite the Canada Store,
Where many ikenesses he has taken before
And the Canada Store is on Front street.
Where George will be happy his friends to greet
No difference it makes in regard to the weather,
If it is cloudy or bright as light as q feather
For in the business he has been for three years past
And every Improvement has learned to the last
Now, in himself, he has great confidence of late,
No Artist before in this village so great,
Could ever with him begin to compare,
For all them he can beat, is the truth, declare

To bring along your children, and your money

At the present time there is quite large num-
Der of persons who will not be trusted at all, and
there is a much larger portion of the community
who cannot get credit any where, but are obliged
to pay cash at credit prices. These two classes
form, perhaps, more than one-half of our popula-
ton and there is good reason why poor man
should pay more than rich one; and no sense at
all in charging CASH CUSTOMERS for bad debts
incurred under the present mode of merchandising.
If the people will only bestow one thought upon
the subject they will at once that-paying Gus
toners assume all the bad debts, or in other words,
they take all the risks of the credit system. The
present time is very discouraging for making debts
the obligations of the people are now very large,
larger by far than the crops this season will dis
charge. Property of all kinds is continually run
ming down, and how would it be with us in the
event of total even partial failure of the crops
next season? Is there one so blind that he cannot
see that in such an event it would take large
amount of property to pay a very small debt Who
then is so bold to increase their liabilities I'M
