CamelS on the Plains.

The Secretary of war renews the reeOmmenda-
ton which ne made in his report last year, for an
appropriation by Congress to test the value of cam
els and dromedaries in transporting military sup
plies on our Southwestern and Western frontier.
1t is known that in some Of those regions which our
troops obliged to defend from the incursions Of
the Indians there are table lands and extensive des
erts where large tracts must be traversed which a
ford no water, and but scanty herbsge. When
springs are at length reached, they are often so
brackiSh that horses and mules refuse the water.
The camel from the great weight he can carry,
the longer time he can go without drinking, his
power Of subsistng eoarser food than the horse,
and his willingness to drink brackish water, is ad
mrably adapted for that region of country, unless
the climate should prove obstacle to his intro
duction. On the Eastern Continent he lives and
works in almost every latitude and climate, and is
extensively used for the purposes for which it is
now proposed TO employ him, by the British in the
East Indies and the French in Algiers. Expert
ence has proved that horses and mules are made
quate for the transportation of military supplies in
country of the character OF our Western frontier;
and the experiment recommended by the Secretary
of War seems 80 reasonable, and so likely to sue
ceed, that we hope Congress will not fail to make
necessary appropriation.
The Overland Mail Stage and transportation
Company now in Missouri and California, will be
the parties to try the utility of the recommendation
to employ camels on the plains. We do not doubt
that it will be entirely successful and that in three
or four years "camel expresses will be making the
distance between Sacramento City and Kansas, in
eight and ten days tine-St. Louis Intel.

Chinese women.

The condition of the Chinese women is most
pitiabe; suffering, privation, contempt all kinds Of
misery and degradation seize on her in the cradle,
and accompany her pitilessly to the tomb. Her
very birth is commonly regarded as a humiliation
and disgrace to the family--an evident sign of
the malediction of Heaven. If she be not immedi-
ately sufocated according to an atrocious eustom),
she is regarded and treated as a creature radically
despicabe, and scarcely belonging TO the human
race. This appears so ucontestable a TACT, that

BaSswOOd Paper.

The New York Express says Eastwood paper,
of good quality as rag paper, can be sold, at
very handsome profit, at one half the sum. The
wood does not even need mixture of rags. The
only thing necessary is to shave the wood with
the grain, and the fibre becomes soft and tangi-
bic as cotton or linen. Indeed, from softer woods
it is possible TO make cloth fabric as strong,
durable, and beautiful as cotton, and the evidence
of this can be demonstrated to those who care TO
investigate the subject.
The Albany Atlas understands that Mr. Boards
ley, the discoyerer of the process intends to sup
ply several manufacturers in New York, who will
Immediately begin the manufacture of Eastwood
paper. ~ So
4 portion Of The Albany Evening Wing Jour

material. It remarks on the occasion:
Our exchanges, and the various book Publishers
with whom we are in correspondence, will receive
