have lately been published, in speaking of his deten-
tion al the Yellow river in China, because OF the I'M
possibility of crossing his cameis, concludes by say.
ing, " for this animal cannot swim; hence my great
anxiety for the entire success OF this experiment
with camels was very much increased on my arrival
at the Colorado river. All my pleasure in looking
upon this noble stream, and all the satisfaction l de-
rived in the reflection of q successful journey accom-
plished, was clouded by this doubt; however, the
effort was to be made, and after having resolved in
my own mind what to do in the event OF failure
determined to test the truth OF the statements which
l had seen in relation to that fact. The first one
brought down to the rivers edge refused TO take the
water. Anxious, but not discouraged, i ordered
another one TO be brought-one of our largest and
fnest-and only those who have felt SO much anxiety
for the success of an experiment, can imagine ny re-
lief on Sc, ng il take the water and swim boldly across
the rapidly flowing river. We then tied them one to
the saddle Of another, and, without the slightest
difficulty, ia a short time swan them all to the OPP.
posite side, in gangs, five in a gang. To my delight
they not only swan with ease, bueJvith apparently
more strength than horses or mules. One of them,
heading up stream, swan a considerable distance
against the current, and all landed in safety on the
other side.
On reaching the settlements Of California J have
concluded to despatch Lieat. Thorburn Immediately
to Washington with the notes and astronomical OBJ
serVations, in order that BE may prepare a map OF
oN route.
In closing this report l desire to cay q word in
conclusion OF the officer who bears IL. His reputa-
tion in his own service would render unnecessary
any concentrations of mine, but the department. OF
which you are ct the head being unacquainted with
mis- merits.I desire to make them known to you.
He has evinced on this journey an aosivity, zeal, in
t~elligence and courage rarely to be found combined
in any one man, and has been TO me not only a most
| able assistant, but an agreeable companion through.
| out the entire exploration; and ! esk, as an especial
favor from the department, if the work il to be
continued, that he be not detached from his present
duty. Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

gentleman, Of quiet unobtrusive manners. We wait

NoRrH-CARoLrNA ToBAcco.-We have been shown
by Col. McDearmon, one of the inspectors at
Shockoe Warehouse, sample of two hogsheads of
tobacco sold by him at the Shockoe Tuesday last.
One at $27 per 100 lbs. to Geo. w. Gillian, and the
other at $31 rs to Jas. Thomas Jr., manufacturers.
This Tobacco is coal cured of fine texture and fla
vor. The two hogsheads brought in the aggregate
nearly $500. We assured that had not this To-
bacco been priced hard it would have brought
from three to five dollars per hundred more. Sure
ly such prices will stimulate the planters of 4" OLD
Rip" as well as prove to them that Richmond is the
best market and the warehouse is the place to sell
it. This Tobacco was grown by Mr.. j. !. Shaver of
Salisbury, North Carolina, and is highly credta.
BILE to that section of the State, that trust often
to see samples of 1.-the weed " in market-Rich
mond Enquirer.
The above is very good and very complimentary,
with the exception of that term "Old Rip" We
are tired of that. The time has been when North
Carolina might, with some appropriateness, be called
Rip Van Winkle but that time has passed. Some
of the papers within our own borders sometimes
use the term. 1t is time for them, at least to quit
it; and then our neighbors, when they find it dis
tasteful to US, will also quit it.
But we will add our testimony to the enterprizing
spirit of Mr. Shaver, and only regret that he was,
in regard to his tobacco, too prizing-nevertheess
he seems to have obtained very good prize for his
enterprise in pricing. May his next prize be greater
but not quite so hard.

RAm-CRoP PROSPECTS. &c.-On Wednesday
and Saturday evenings last we had fine shower of
rain, which we learn general in this Sec
ton.
We have heard some planters say that notwith-
standing the drought, they will make fair crops of
corn. 1t has been remarked that there is enough of
old corn in the country to supply the wants of the
people even fa third ola crop only made this year
But think the present crop will prove far better
than has been apprehended.
Those who ought to know say that the drought
has made it unusually healthy in all portions of the
country So what our friends have lost in the way
of poor crops, they have probably saved by being
free from disease and doctor bills-Charlotte Demo-
