EDITED BY THE GovERNMENT.-Amo
other novelties introduced into the art oi
government by the Emperor of the French,
is that of editing the entire press of the
Empire 1t is well known that for some
time past kind of editorial bureau has ex-
listed in Paris, in which articles are pro-
duced to order and sent for publication TO
the various newspapers in the provinces.
On some occasions the same article has
been sent at the same time for Publication
in all the provincial journals, aud thus all
the rural poprbtion of France were stimuli
taneously edited by the pernsa of the
" leader" prescribed by the Emperor But
not content with destroying the liberties of
the press, this very free despot is apparent
ly determined to destroy the press itself,
and instead of prescribing articles for pub.
lication, he has adopted more fatal mode
of patronage by quartering editors of his
selection on the country papers. The Min
lister of the Interior sends writer's author
lied to take charge of certain journals, and
their proprietors protest in vain against the
direction Of their editorial columns being
seized by an appointee of the government.
The worst Of the matter is, that the persons
THUS obtruded are to be remunerated by
the journals and not by the administration.
1t is an ingenious and cheap mode of ex-
tending patronage, and rewarding the
aunkies of power"

The CAMEL ExPERMENT-The expert
mcnts thus far with the camels introduced
in Texas, and other parts Of the South,
may be said to be successful. At FIRST, il
was supposed they could only be useful ia
traversing the great desert and plains ia
the interior Of the continent, where there
is deficiency Of water They could cross
a desert Of 100 miles without water and
without stopping. This Of itself would be
accomplishing much. But it now appears
that this useful animal has been introduced
on plantations with advantage, having
double the strength Of the mule or horse
Whether hitched to plough or wagon
he does equally we'll aud eau carry on bis
back as much load as eau conveniently be
packed in two-horse wagon. A planter
in Alabama has written letter to the n
Y. Journal of Commerce, wherein he enters
into particulars as to the advantages aud
disadvantages of the camel The animal
does well where the soil is sandy, stony OF
firm, where he can get good footing. On
wet and muddy soil he moves slowly and
cautiously, even with moderate load
He is used on plantations to draw wagons
plough, gin cotton aud carry it to market
but the present high price of the animal
will prevent It's general introduction. The
camel thrives on the poorest food, and be
ing easily reared may yet be introduced
more extensively in the Southern States.

NEAKIvG SHOES by SrEAM-The Hnver-
hill Publisher gives an account Of steam
shoe factory in that place, for sewing the
seams and pegging shoes. The machinery
is all WORKED w q small Eve horse power
engine. ia tie Dsseinept Of the building
are the machines for cutting, stripping,
rolling and shaping the soles These are
then passed TO he story above. where the
shoes are lasted, and the outer soles tackled
on by hand, which process prepares them
for pegging. The pegging machines are
simple in their construction and mode Of
operation, but performing with great dis
patch and accuracy, driving the pegs at
the rate Of fourteen second. One Of the
most curious operations Of the machine is
the manner in which il manufactures the
peg for its own use. A strip Of wood Of
the required width, aud neatly laid in a
coil one hundred feet in length, is put into
the machine, and at every revolution il is
moved forward, and peg cut oil and
driven into the shoe The rapidity and
unerring accuracy with which these ma
chimes perform their work is truly aston
ishing. After being pegged, the shoes arc
passed up to the third story, where the
bottoms are smoothed, secured and brush
ell The fourth story is occupied by the
stitching machines, tended by females, but
run by steam, which saves laborious and
fatiguing operation. sl

From the AmOOr River.

/ The schooner Caroline r. F0Ote arrived

have escaped her long Imprisonment.
The first vessel Of the season, the bark
San Francisco, had arrived at De Castres
Bay, below the mouth Of the river, on May
18th, but was unable to proceed up the
river on account Of the ice The balance
of the spring feet were at Hakodadi, on
their way up--at which port oil vessels
bound to the Amoor invariably touch, both
going and coming, this port being as much
on the route as is the port Of Honolulu
between San Francisco and China. Hako-.

and not so productive as those situated
more southerly, is an admirable center for
the accumulation Of late news Of all the adj

camels, brought from the confines Of Tar

southern counties of California and on tile

first being those taken from the Meditera-i

" We give our unqualified adhesion to
this Convention and its action We be
lieve that the candidates whom it has Sc.
lected will be the choice of the American
people for the highest Offices in their gift.
We believe that faction must fail before
principle and truth, and that, although
now tie Democratic party may present a
divided front, long before November uni.
ted Democracy will rally to the support Of
the chvalrous son of Kentucky, and the
gallant Senator from Oregon, whose seryi.
ces in the field and in the halls of leglsla-
ton are as brilliant, as their lives have
been pure and blameless.
with such standard bearers, the glori.
ous ensign of Democracy cannot fail to be
the banner of success. They have not
sought Office, and their patriotism forbids
them TO decline it. The people can have
faith in such men, and they will prove it
by casting their votes for them in Novem

from the deadly grasp of the Black Repub
