The camels purchased by Mr.. WoolseY
from CAPTAIN Machado last week, seem 10
answer many useful purposes. The other
day one of the animals, with rider, brought
twelve bushels of shelled corn to town to
mill. So one camel, in milling alone will
answer the purpose of a wagon and two
mules, and will travel over the ground four
times as quick as the mules, We under.
stand that they have been ireid in the plow,
and answer the purpose admirably, being
docile and easily managed.
