Alexanclcr DumnH has been furnishing sensation items for Russia, of ivliicb tlib following is a apecimeh : We loft tlie room witb a turnkey behind ua.iitid wnlkcd on until we found oltrsclvcs opposite! th prison. The lattdr opened it, Went in nndliirlifcd a limterri. Wc' follow ed. AVej went down ten Btepsj prisned a row of duniicon, but did not atop. .Wte went down five more,, and then stopped at the one mark'ed No. 11. He gave a silfln,, signal ; it eecmed as if in this abode of the duad, he had hmt tho power of speceb. There was at this time a frost of al least twenty degrees outside. , At the depth which we found ourselves it was mingled with a damp which penetrated to tho bone ; my marrow was frozen, and yet. I wiped the perspiration from my brow, The door was opened and wo went down tit dump and slippery otcpa, and found ourselves in a dungeon of about six feet square. I fan cied in the light of the lantern that I saw a human form moving iri it. The Govefn ( r remained ou the last step, and said to the prinoner : . "Rise and dress yourself." I had a curiosity to know to whom this order was addressed. "Turn on the light," said I to the jailor. I t lion saw a thin and pallid old man rise up. Ho had evidently been immured, in this dungeon in the same clothes ha had on when Hrrosted, but they had fallen off by piecemeal, and be was only dressed in a ragged pelisse, Thiough the rags, could bo hocii his miked, bony shivering body l'orhaps this body had been covered with' splendid garments ; perhaps ribbons of the most noble order had once crossed his f Hinting chest. A' present fie was only a iving skeleton, that had lost rank, digni ty, and even nunio, nnd was called No. 11. Ho roso and wrapped himself in tho frag ments of his ragged pulisse, without utter ing complaint. His body was bowed down, conquered by prison damp, time, or it might be, hunger. Ilia eye was haugh ty, almost menacing. "It is good," said the Governor. "Come." Ha was tho first to go 6u't. The prisoner threw a parting glance on his coll, bis stone jug, and his rotten straw. He uttered a sigh, yet it was impossible that he could regret anything of this. He followed the Governor and passed before me. . , , I ahull uever forget the glance. Iio turned on me in passing, and iho reproach that was eonciitnitcd in it. "Soyouftg," it seemed to' say, " tod al ready obeying tyranny." ( I turned away thul glance bad pierced my heart like a dagger. He passed in the door of iho dungeon. How lona Was it sine he bad entered 1 ( He must cease for a lfiig time counting days and nights. On reacliitig tho Governors door, wo' fiAi'tid j two sledges waiting. The prisoner was or jdered into the one that bad been brought ! us, and v e followed him, the Governor by his side, I in front. ThU other bledo was j occupied by our soldiers. I AVlier w er we going? I knew not. What were we going to do? I was equally ignorant. I had only to see the action itself did not concern roe. We started. . , - Through myoaition the old man's knees, wtre. between mine. ; Iy felt them trenble,, .The Governor was wrapped in hiii i'urs I was buttoned up in my milita ry frock, and yet the cold reached us. The prisoner was almost naked, but tb$ Gover mr offered him no covering. For a mo ment I thought of taking off my coat and offering it to him. The Governor guessed my jnfntion. ' ' -. , "It was not 'worth white," he said. , Soon we reached the Neva ag;fin, and our sledgo took the direction of Cronstadt. .. The wind came off the Baltio, and blew furiously ; the sleet cut our faces. .Trio' our eytfs had been accustomed to the dark ness, we could not sec t?n jfS'rds befor us. . At last we stopped in the midst of a fu rious snow storm. We must have been a league ahd a tialf from St. Petersburg. The Governor goi out of our sledge and went up to the other. The soldiers had already got off, holding the tools they had been ordered to bring. "Put a Thole in the ice," tlie Governor said to them. I could not, refrain a cry of terror. I began to apprehend. "Ah!" the old man uttered, with art ac cent resembling the laugh of a skeleton, "then the Empr'esS docs still remember mo." - - Of what Empress was ho talking? .Three bad passed awajr ,in . succession Annie, Elizabeth and Catharine.. It was evident he still believed himself living under one of them, and .be did not know even the name of the . man rho , had ordered his death. What was the obscurity 6f night compared with the tomb? . The four soldiers then set to work.- They broke the ice with their hammers, cut it with their axes, and raised the blocks with the revet. All at once they started back ; the ice was broken, and the water Was then rising. . . "Come down," the Governor said t the bid man. , . The order was useless, for he had already done1 -so. Kneeling bh the ice, he waa praying fervently. , . Thii Governor gave an tirder in a low tone to the soldiers; then he earn1 e back to iny side, for I had riot left the sludge. In a moment the prisoner rose. "I um ready," he said, , ., , The four soldiers rushed upon him. I turned my eyes away ; but though, I did riot see, 1 heard the noise of a body hurled irito the abyss. In spite of myself, I turn fed rdund. The old mari had disappeared. I forgot that I bad no right to give Orders, but shouted to the driver i "Away! away!'.' , !'Stop!" cried the Governor. . , , ; The sledge, which had already moved forward, stopped again. "All is hot finished," the Governor said to me in French. . "What have we to do?" I asked: "Wait," he replied. We waited half an hour; . . "The ice has set," said one of the soldiers. ','Art thou sure?" . .. , He struck the spot whero the hole had so lately yawned ; the water had become solid again. ... t , "We can gci," said the Governor. The hors?s started at full gallop, and iri less than ten minutes we reached the fortress A Good Thing in Leather. Our friend, Mr. Isaac Iiierfield, of New berry, has. received a patent and we be lieve the first issued to a South Carolinian for an important invention and improve ment in Tanning. , , In the words of the Newberry Sun, we say : "The ingredients used in this new process makes the Leather fine and close. The specimens he 1 as exhibited td us are of a tine polish, and remarkably weighty and pliant. . Mr. Iiierfield has already dis posed of a large quantity of Leather tan ned by the new process, which has given general satisfaction. lie tells us that fie has found that be can tan leather from 40 to 60 per cent, cheaper than heretofore. The light stocks can be tanned in from fif teen to twenty days, and heavy stocks in proportion. , We consider this new process of Mr. Bierfield of great and doeidod util ity to tanners. Bark, in many sections, is becoming scarce and clear, and tho weed used by Mr. Bierfield (EiipatOriam; Foeit icalaJcuni; or Dog Ken nel) can be obtained in great abundance. Those engaged in tho business of Tunning would do well, wo think, to purchase a right. He will dixpusd of rights either by States or Dis tricts.". ; , , . .

Wbfe'n vour companion' bows to a ladv. ybu should do the same. Wberi a gentle man bows to a lady iu your company, al ways bow to him in return. Nothing (ssb ill understood in America as those conven tional laws so well understood arid practic ed iii Europe. Ladies complain that gen tlemen pass thent by Unnoticed in the streots, when, in fact, the fault arises from their own breach of politeness. It is their duty to do the' amiable first, for it. is a pri vilege which ladies enjoy of choosing their on associates or acquaintances.

We yesterday published the Yankee ao couut of a battle in Logan county, which as usual, was manufactured out of whole cloth. " The following are the facts as ciV- i,n.'?y the South-westcrrt Times, '(Tazewell county) of the 10th inst. : I")"1 Samuel Smoot, Esq., of Boone ',., who WMS ; t!lfi fivt H' w Chapmanyille, Logan county, on the 25th ult : The Yankees numbered 700, and sommenced the attack upon our troops the Logan militia in a low gap between Guyanflpcte river -n i d. Big Creek, where they were engaged in raising temporary breastwork. Our troops numbered 220, but there were only about 80 of them en gaged in the fight. They wpre Command ed by Col. J. W. Davis, of Greenbrier, a brave and gallant officer, who was severely, but not dangerously wounded, in the arm and breast. As soon as it became known that Col. Davis was wpunded. the militia commenced a retreat. The c "officer of the Lincoln troops afterwards confessed to Cel.. Davis, who was taken prisoner, that at the saree moment a por tion of the Yankees (wero- running, and that one more round would have complete ly dispersed them.- . The .Toss, of , the Yankees, by their own confession to Co), puvis, was 40 killed anu a number, wounded ; among the former were four Union men, all of whom are re presented by the Yanke'rJS 6 .be most 'ar rant, thieves and cowards,.

They tore down a meeting house iu Boone t'ottnty to make frafts wheroon, to cross the river they drowned twd of their wound ed, lost a wagon -containing tlicir entire1 stock bf arilniuriitibri, arid were fully per suaded that they were followed by .two thousand cavalry, of which . the Yankees in the West are about as fearful as their Eastef rl b'othrs are of feask'ed batteries. , Upon the whole, we are iriu.ch gratified at the rer.ult of this fight. It has. for the present, driven the cowardly thieves from the country, given renewed energy to the true patriots of Logan and the adjoining counties, fully convincing them th(it with the assistance of two or three hundred of their gallant friends in Tasewell county, thoy will be fully able td thrash any num ber that Gen. Cox or his friends' shall dare tu send against them. . Incidents of . tha Greenbrier Fight; . ; , A correspohderit of the Richmond Din patch relates the following incidents of the Greenbrier fight i ,, . Col.

Was forced to take, td the woods, and was in the enemy's fear during the battle, and says he oountcd 25 wagbps fiill of dead arid wbundod that passed by hirri, and that for a ,mile vlie foad was cov-, ered with blood... Col. Ramsey displayed great courage with his pickets, aridhcy hobly sustained him in his efforts, During a portion of the battle tho en emy upon the right was called upon to chiirge upon the Georgians by the com, raariding officer, but "nary"' charge could be got out of them. The .following dia logue was distinctly heard by our troops: The Yankee pffieer to Colonel. Why in the h 11 dqrit you charge on them? Haven't you beard the order? , Colonel.

We learn from the Gazette of yesterday that this gallant' Boldie,r and. K'E.ll teemed gentleman died recently, at ,the Warm Springs, in Virginia, of typhoid fever. He wss Captain of ono of the finest companies which Tennessee has sent into the field, and was attached to the , 14th regiment, cotthnanded by Col. Forbes. The whole regiment was distinguished for the size and soldiery bearing of the men, and no company ranked highor than that of CRpt. Beaumont's. VVa tlib company passed thpough this place on the march to Virginia, it commanded especial admiration'. ;" No' one who saw its accom plished commander then, in. the, Vigor of manhood and ambitious; ot distinction, would havp anticipated for him death from disease. . They would rather have expect' ed him, ti he felf, to fall in some cTHval- rons encounter with . the foe. , But that titrated and apparently foolish expedition mto the mountains of Western Virginia. has cut down many a brave soldier, aqd hundreds of little hillocks on the moun tain sides note where they lie buried and torgSttei) save by friends fct home, who perhaps never heard of their iltness, and will never know their graves.

In that .part of the country the wheat was mostly harvest ed with "headers" and the stacks imper fectly built, so that drenching rains have thoroughly saturated them. Along the valny of . the Fpx river the wl;et in the stacks is nearly all growing, and some of Miem is reported to be a "mass of growing pulp" tho grain growing like tnrf on the top of them. Along the Chicago', Bur lington and Quiney railroad also the dam age is exteudivo, though not quite eo lad a?pn the other northern roads. In confirmation of these reports it is proper to Btote that during the past three or four days a" very lSrge proportion of the wheat received is inspected and "rejected" Inconsequence of its damp and poor con dition. , One firm in this city had fifteen carloads of wheat. sent him, arid eleven of them were rejected. Another bad twelve car loads, and and eight were rejected and some gave even worse returns, This is undoubtedly a great calamity to the country. The crop was, at best, far short of an average, arid it is foafed trat this will reduce it to bWt a small percent age of fast years' abundant yield.
