THE USE OF CAMELs FOR MILITARY PURPOSES.

The Buffalo Advertiser makes the following remarks
unou the recomendaiion of the Secretary OF War in re-
card 10 the use of cames in the transportation OF military
stores The subject commends itself strongly 10 the favor
able consideration Of Congress
s.GEN DAvIss cAMELs.--The Secretary of war reneWs
the Recommendation which he made in his report OF last
wear for appropriation by Congress to test the value o
cames dromedaes in transporting military upphes on
our southwestern and western frontier is known that IN
those regions which troops obliged to defend om
the ncurson Indians there abeands and exen
sive deserts where large tracts must be traversed when
afford no water and but little scanty herbage When springs
are at length reached they often bracksh that horses
and mules refuse the water
The camel from the great weight he can carry, the
longer time he go without drinking his power ci sub
sistinv on than the horse and his willingness to
drink backish ater admirably adapted for that region
Of country unless the climate should an obstacle to
his introduction On the eastern continent he lives and
works in every latitude and climate and extensive
y used purposes for which it is proposed to en-
oy him by the British the East Indies and the French IN
uer Experience has proved that horses and mules are
inadequate for the transportation Of military supplies IN
country OF the character of western frontiers and the
experiment recommended by the Secretary OF War seems so
reasonable and likely to succeed that We hope Congress
will not fail to make the necessary appropriation
