CAMELs.-A correspondent Of the Lou
isville Democrat proposes the use Of the
Bactrain camels for travelling to Califor-
MIA, New Mexico and Oregon. They
would be very useful for carrying the
mail. Good authorities state that thew
can carry 1000 pounds weight 100 miles
per day, for eight or ten days in success
sion, and subsist in scanty supply ofthc
coarsest heritage, only requiring water
once in two or three days. With the aid
Of this animal, tho United States mail
might be carried from St. Louis to Asto-
ria, at the month Of the Columbia river,
in twenty days, or in shorter time from
the mouth Of the Arkansas river to tho
harbor Of San Francisco, in California.
They could be got in their native coun-
try Asia, and be brought by land to the
Black Sea, and shipped for the U. States
direct.
In addition it may be sa id, that the
Bactrain or Asiatic camel would be USE
fuI in war, in the vast plains ofthe West.
From their great power, quickness Of
motion, they might be useful in carrying
.ligh. pieces Of artillery, and be trained
to the use Of them for their various pur-
poses. This would be very effective
arm against the Indians

THE SURVEYOR GENERALsHIP.

THE SURVEYOR GENERALSHlP.
Information was received in town on
Friday last, that Col. Caleb H. Booth, of
this city had been appointed Surveyor
General for the district Of Wisconsin and
Iowa, in place Of George w. Jones, elect
ed to the United States Senate.
We have, on a previous occasion, ex-
pressed our opinion of,he propriety Of this
appointment, and will at this time merely
take the opportunity Of congratu|ating
the public upon its final consumation.
Whether we look to the merits Of the
individual upon whom this important pub
lie trust has been imposed, or to the pub
lie benefits which are 10 flow from the
proper and faithful discharge Of those
trusts, we say emphaticaIly, that no bet
ter appointment could have been made.
Mr.. SENATOR CRAwFoRD.-Let no one
suppose that because the name ofthis in
dividual does not appear in the vote upon
the Proviso instructions recorded in a.
mother column, he showed disposition to
sku1k from an expression Of his opinion
upon the subject. His absence from the
Senate Chamber on that day was on &C.
count Of severe indisposition under which
he was then laboring. Mr.. Crawford has
uniformly been prompt in the discharge
Of his duties, and bold and fearless in the
expression Of his opinion. He is known
to be all right upon the question involved
in those resolutions Of instruction.
THASks.-We gratefully acknowledge
the receipt ofimpor,ant Public Documents
from the Hon. Geo. w. Jones, OF the U. S.
Senate.
THE CHOLERA.-Thi disease seems
O be very much on the decline in the city
Of New Orleans agreeable to the latest
news from tina, place. The Board Of
Health have reported it as no longer cpl
demic. 1t seems, however, 10 be rather
on the increase in the towns upon the riv-
er above New Orleans. At Vicksburg
it is causing Some alarm. This is the
place that was so dreadlully scourgcd with
it in 1882.
Its progress up the river seems to be
slow and hesitating; and its intentions as
to summer trip to the supper country"
difficult to ascertain.

FOR CALIFORNIA.

Some ten or fifteen persons have al
ready left this city for the Gold regions
Of California; mos, Of them going 10 New
York, and thence by the Mail steamers,
by the ts:hmus Of panama. Messrs Mer-
rit, Moblcy and Hammond, who we're the
first to leave, have gone directly TO New
Orleans, thence to the Isthmus.
Many we understand arc making prep
ara.ions for the overland route, in the
spring.
Previous accounts Of the abundance OF
gold in California, continue to be confirm
ed.
A late dispatch says, that letters have
been received by one Of the most respect
able houses in Boston, saying that their
agent in California had shipped $4,000
in gold to England, and that upwards of
$4,000 900 was waiting transportation to
New York.
