Pee Dec Times. MVJ ^^ TnE liend engineer at Sevastopol is a ?' young man named Todleben, wlio at the commencement of tlie siege was a captain, and almost unknown. When the siege coinmeneed, Prince Menschikoff, it is said, asked >" the then head engineer how long it would %' take to put the place in a state of defence. Ho answered "Two months." Todleben stepped forward and said he would undertake to do it, if he had as many men as bo required, in two we<&s. He did it in twelve t- days, and was made Colonel. Since that time he has had the direction of everything in the way of building batteries, defences, p' &c. The other day the Grand Duke called upon nis wile, who is residing in St. PeterttK burg, to congratulate her upou lie husband's promotion; for he is now General and Aidede-Camp to the Kinp^ror. Rain ano We lonrn that ap6rtion of the Sdpuda side of our District was, > on Fridaylaatj visited by a severe storm of commingled wind, rain and lmil. ConsidV erabie damage was done to the youug*cropa, T especially cotton, which was completely | " -battered into the earth. Corn will rise up * > - 'again, and," if?-the end, do about as well as giy ' Sjr would Have done. But cotton, thus badbruised, can scarcely recover in time to M ' -do much. Some planters, we understand, fiffi SrA rPlllantinn ?''? * """? o it buwH w/vwii ueias in corn. If all were to do so, the storm would prove cjgr a ble^ng rather than a misfortune. ;: .

In some plat es there I iveie :- > <;ral hail storms, but wo believe j' the damage from that cause has not been j extensive. We observed oue field of wheat j! about 8 milt s abov6 Anderson 0. II. badly j | hurt. Tho rain immediately in the neigh-1' borhood of Anderson C. II. was slight, but in this District, Pickens, and tho larger portion of Anderson, Spartanburg and Laurens, we understand the rain was abundant. The crops are all assuming a more promising appearance. Greenville Mountaineer. Lacrens^ille, May 25.?We have been informed that the storm on Friday last, did a great deal of damage to many plantations in the southeastern and south-western portion of our District. We have not received sufficient information to give alt the names of the owners of the plantations injured, but have heard that Col. J. L>. Williams' plantation, near Spring Grove, and Mr. John Smith, near Mt. Gallagher, were most wofnlly injured by the rain and hail. Other persons also recivedas imn-h damage, who, unfortunately, are less able to sustain the loss than the above gentlemen. < I Onions.?If you wish to grow a good crop of onions from the seed, manure a herl with well rotted manure, or guano, dig it in spado deep, one foot apart, ami drill your onion seed thinly, cover the seed, and but give the bed a free dusting of a mixture < omposed of six parts ashes and two parts plaster. When the onions come up and are large enough to lxi thinned out, thin them out so as to stand about four inches apart in rows ; keep the bed clean, but do not cover or disturb the bulbs, and you will have fine onions at the harvest-time.

Fire in Pendltox.?We regret to learn .that the large carriage manufactory of Mr. J. B. Sit ton, of Pendleton, was consumed by fire, at one o'rloek, on Sutimhiv mhi-nin<r -V * & , last. It was tliu work of an incendiary, who lias since been arrested and lodged in jail. Mr. Silton's loss is heavy, amounting to some ?4,000 or ?5,000. A house near by, belonging to the estate of the late Samuel Maverick, was also consumed. Pickens Courier. Mississippi.?-Corn still looks well in some parts of the country, and those acquainted with planting, inform us that. crop will doubtless be an avcrmre nnn . o ~ v"v? I,vfc withstanding there ha* been such an unprecedented drought. The majority of the wheat fields look well and promise a good yield. Corn is daily getting -scarcer, and some of our largest planters are unable to I obtain enough to feed their horses aud mules. I Tup flonno A t?a?? A ? *1 * w..v/. a iiouvc..?.v msiiiicman wno resides in the neighborhood of Belair, in the upper *part of the District, informed us I day before yestsrday, that they have had fine seasons in that section. The crops of corn, cotton and wheat, lie tells us, are doing remarkably well. IJad the rains come sooner, wheat would have dono better, but liven as ii is, mere is great cause for thankfulness, that it is doing as well as it is. Lancaster (?S. C.) Ledger. Death of Dr. Kino.?Wo learn wifb regret, by intelligence received at the Courier office, the death of Dr. Courtenay S. King, second son of the late Col. William S. King. Dr. King had been attached to the Medical Staff of the Russian Army in the Crimea, and early in April felt a victim to malignant typhus fever, contracted in the hospital of Simpheropol. Alabama.?Tlin wonflior Vo e?5li ? i " ? ?cijr dry suty&t, and we shall not notice it further than to say, that, notwithstanding we arc yet without rain, the crops, as far as our observation extends, are doing remnrkably well. Froin every quarter the news is encouraging, but unless we can have rain soon vegetation must suffer. Cotton Destroyed!?We learn from the Madison (Fla,) Messenger,?that a destructive hail storm passed over a seel ion of that country recently, doing considerable damage to the young crops. Wo regret that "bur friend B. F. Wardlaw sustained heavy damage by this unexpected visitation, losing a hundred and fifty acres of cotton. The Marietta (Ohio) Advocate says that many farmers in that section have refused to sell their corn to speculators at $1 40, and have chosen to divide .it among their poorer neighbors at one dollar nor l>noliot s..~u |-?. wuwmvi* WMWI benevolence deserves to be recorded. To show that the present high prices for provisions are not altogether unprecedented, a correspondent of the State of Maine newspaper publishes an accouut, from which it appears that iitl8l7 superfine flour sold for $14 per bbl in Portland. Texas.?After informingits readers of an abundance of rain, the State Gazette (Austin,) says that it is now satisfied- that the harvest of Texas for cotton sad corn will surpass that of any of the sister States.

From this pedigree it will at once appear that .loeassee has descended from n pure ancestry. as much so as any horse in the country. Waverly, the sire of .loeassee, stands unrivalled at. the present day in this country, having obtained a premium in 1814 at Greenville, anil also fit Newberry in 18-10, also at Pendleton ami Anderson, being (lie best stallion exhibited on each occasion. Joenssee is placed so low in price as to be within the roach of every man who is able to own a mare, and in fact very low for a horse of, his blood, nnd in form and figure, size, beauty and color all combined can vie with any horse. livery person desirous of raising line, stock, will do'wcll to patronise this full-blooded and beautiful stallion.
