Mr.. CIARK-Dear Sir,-After my best re-
spects to you, will inform you that we are
all well at present. and hope that these few
lines may find you in like favorable circum-
stances. promised to write to you, but
have delayed it thus far to have something
to write, and hardly know where to begin
now.
Invent through Perrysburg, March 18th, on
my way to Iowa, and landed at Kanesville,
on the Missouri river, the last day of March,
and had very pleasant trip. l came by
railroad from Toledo to Rock Island then
came by wagon the remainder of the way
/ came through Scott, Muscatine, Johnson,
RE, Adair, Cass and Poawatamie counties,
and settled within one mile and half Of
Magnolia, the county seat of Harrison coun-
ty, 40 miles from Council Bluff City. The
eastern counties surpass everything for good
country | ever saw. The country lays roll
ing is fertile, with plenty of good water all
is more broken. Timber is very scarce ex-
cept through Polk county, where it is more
plenty. This county is more hilly than the
part of the state have seen, and the prairies
dlC NGly lGltllC anu IulIAN dlCO,
produce good crops of all kinds. Crops are
very good this season, wheat will average
from 20 to 80 bushels per acre, corn go, oats
60, and potatoes all you want to dig
This is pleasant country to live in; the
air is very pure and clear; you can see an
object Is miles as plainly as you can 3 or 4
on the prairies in Wood county. 1t is very
healthy, we had no sickness here this season
This country is well adapted for raising
stock of all kinds. The wild grass is better
quality than ever saw east. AS for game,
there are some deer and elk. and the bottoms
abound with geese, ducks and brant, and the
water is prolific with fish, such as buffalo,
pickerel, pike and cat the cat grow very
large caught them myself that weighed
IT'S pounds. The soil is composed of black
limestone loan. Wild fruits are very plen-
ty, such as plums, gooseberries, raspberries,
straw berries, and they grow much larger
than they do in the east
We have had the pleasantest fall I ever
saw. We had no frost till the 10th of Oc-
tober, and but little since.
Yours, sc. JOSIAH GROIN.

The War.

The Siege of Sebastopol- White To1cer
blOaun up By the British Quarantine Fort
siEenced by the French.
Some impression has at length been made
on the besieged fortress-how much may be
learned from the following dispatches:
The Paris Moniteur publishes " A letter
from Varna, dated Oct. 81, says that the
fire of the allied land batteries was opened
at half past one o'clock on the 18th against
Sebastopol. At the same time the allied
fleets attacked the forts at the entrance of
the port; the English those at the left and
the French those on the right. The English
blew up the outer Notifications on the left,
(this is supposed to mean the white tower,
while the French silenced the quarantine
fort on the right
From Vienna, 28th October. "Lord
Westmoreland re eceived dispatch yesterday,
according to which the guns of the two
forts, at the entrance to the harbor of Sebas
topol were dismounted by the artillery Of
the allied fleets. The allies had about one
hundred and five men wounded, and one
third that number killed"
From Vienna, Sunday, 29th October
"The Fremden Blatt, newspaper, yesterday
received news Of date 18th, from the Cri-
inca. 1t was said that the ships discontinue
ed the bOmbardment because the battery and
quarantine fort, at which they fired, was
sienced. The loss on the part of the allies
was nearly ninety"
From the cam before Sebastopol, Octo-
Der 10, it is said: :" AS accounts leave, the
French have sienced the quarantine battery,
and continue their attacks against fort Alex
ander, and the loopholed walls that defend
the town Of SebastopoI on the southwestern
