South American Antiquities.

Mr. Charles E. Farris has just returned
to England from South America, after hav-
ing devoted thirty years to the collection of
antiquities. He visited Mollepata and Shear
machuco, and other parts, exhausting all
his pecuniary resources in employing Is or
90 Indians at time in excavatiDg or ex-
huming the articles he has brought home.
This was work of long duration, and re-
quiring excessive labor. The collection is
well worthy of attention, and consists of
earthenware drinking vessels, modelled after
the forms of human beings, quadrupeds, rep
tiles, fishes, etc.; garments made of native
cotton, ornamented with silver trinkets,
feathers. etc., weapons, tools, toys, amulets,
in silver, copper, stone, bone and wood, ex-
hurned from the sites of South American
cities From the South American shores
of the Pacific Ocean are very fine cabinets
of land and marine shells, some of which
Mr.. Farris believes have never before been
seen in Europe. With the above is also an
extensive collection of minerals, ores, pet
rifactious, ETC., from the Andes.

DEpAnrURE OF Da. LIyIgeeYos.-Dl

Departure or DR. LTvIseeToS.-Dr.
Livingston, the great African explorer, left
London for Southampton on the 26th of No
vember. On the 9th he embarked on
board the Peninsula mail packet Tagus, for
Lisbon. The object of his visit to that
city is understood to be for the purpose Of
consulting with the Portuguese government.
through whose territories on the eastern
coast of Africa the great traveller proposes
passing to reach the heart Of the great AZ
rican continent, to pursue his magnificent
discoveries there and to open Central Afri-
ca TO Europe through the great river Zam

possessions, and empties itselfin the Aozam-

Camels.
A California correspondent of the &ar

~ Camels.
A California correspondent of tbe Ser
says:
the public mind of our State by the safe ar
rival of Lieut.. Beale and the camels, at Los
Angeles, in prime order. ] think that if
the Government could make some two or
three year old contracts to carry military
stores and mails by camels-the company
TO start with a stock of 500 camels-emi-
nentiy beneficial results would flow from it..
Camels travel safely in snow and cold in
Siberia and Chinese Tartary, and the coun-
tries thereaway. They would answer for
the whole Rocky Mountain country. The
nearest ports they could be brought from to
California are the Persian Gulf, 1900
miles from San Francisco. I don't think
they can be got in sufficient numbers from
Shanghae or North China, but you can find
this out from the United States Consuls, or
probably Russians in Washington. This
camel business bears very important polit-l
ical aspect to our people, Just at this con-.
tingency of public events. If the State
had now 500 camels, they could put through
military stores to the Salt Lake in fifteen
days from California. The Russians have
sometimes had 10000 in campaign, and so,
have the English. They would be invaluat.
bic in keeping the peace of the Indian terri
tories, and in commercial transactions with
Sonora and the Gadsden purchase. Proba-
bly, the cheapest way would be for specula-
tors to bring them from the Atlantic coast
at Morocco, (at Mogadore, which is 1000
miles from the mouth of the Rio Grande.
Camels are very cheap in Morocco. Indeed,
I think the Government could get 500 young
female camels delivered at Matamoras at
$500 head, and probably, when the trade
was opened, spectators would bring over
yearly shipments. They never ought to be
kept on the Atlantic or Gulf coast over ten
days, but walked over to the neighborhood
of San Antonio, where the country begins
to be dry. California, New Mexico, West
Texas, and Sonora, are the very countries
for the camel, being like Syria and Egypt,
where I'have seen plenty of them. With
water every four days, a voyage in the trop-
les, camels can be brought over to Texas
very easy. They fare well in any country
where it is not sloppy or swampy. Camels
ought to be brought in propellers, as the
track from Morocco lies through the horse

to remember the bright days of life, and
not to forget the blessings God is giving US.
Life, it is true, is not all bright and beauti-

shades, and it is neither wise nor graceful
to dwell too much upon the darker portions
of the picture. He who looks upon the

Iowa.

We gather the following facts from the re-
port of the State Auditor of Iowa, for the
fiscal year ending November 1st, 1861
The total receipts into the State Treasury,
including the amount on hand at the COM
mencement of the year, is S255. .327 IS.
The disbursements during the same period
were S241 ,145 05. leaving balance in the
Treasury of S14, 182 20. The total liabil-
ities of the State are S293, ,84S SO. Its es-
tmated resources for the years 1857 and
1858 are 1888, I'll SO, which does not in
elude the school fund (s36, ,9Os 75), as that
is not considered strictly State resources
The estimated expenditures for the same time
will be S59S, ,4l2 20, which leaves balance
In the Treasury of $3.50, $50 O6, on the
Presumption that the State revenues will all
be paid up.

The electors of our State are called 10 vote at
their approaching Election for against the hold
ing of u new Constitutional Convention. We are
decidedly in favor of such Convention, aud shall
vote TO call it, on these grounds:
/. We desire the adoption of some plan or sys-
ten whereby Illegal Voting may be absolutely pre-.
vented. AT present, fraud and corruption revel aud
riot in oH cities at every contested election. We
believe there were not less than Fifteen Thousand
votes fraudulenly east in this City at our last Mu-
nicpal Election. Such Wholesale fraud not merely
tends to impose on our communities rulers who
were reslly rejected by the popular Judgment; it
arms with powerful argument the natural indo.
lence and apathy which already keep so many good
citizens from the polls. "Why should push my
:, way through crowd of greasy blackguards and
d" bruisers to the polls for the sake of voting, when
" my ballot will be neutralizcd the next moment
{" by any Five Points ruilian or hired alien bully
who is voting his way up from the Battery TO
