From the Virginia City Enterprise.
On a ranch on the Carson river,
eight miles below the mouth of Six
mile canyon, and about seventeen
miles east of the city, is to be seen
herd of twenty-six camels, all but
two of which were born and raised
in this State. But two Of the old
herd of nine or ten brought here
some years ago are now living. 1t
would seem that the original lot
tell into the hands of MeXicans, who
treated them very badly, overload
ing and abusing them. The men
who now have them are Frenchmen,
it seems, who had formerly some
experience with camcls in Europe.
They find no difficulty in rearing
them, and can now show "a fine
healthy animals, all of Washoe
growth. The camel may now be
said to be thoroughly acclimated in
this State. The owners Of the herd
find it no more difficult to breed and
rear them than would be cxpericn-
ced with the same number Of goats
or donkeys. The ranch upon which
they are kept is sandy and sterile in
the extreme, yet the animals feast
and keep fat on such prickly shrubs
and bitter weeds as no other ami
nal would touch. When left to
themselves their great delight after
filing themselves with the coarse
heritage Of the desert, is to lie and
roll in the hot sand. They are used
in packing salt to the mills on the
river, from the marshes lying in the
desert, some sixty miles to the east
ward. They have animals that
easily pack LOO pounds.

The Maine Fu,n1er discusses the
value of saw-dust for bedding as
There is a great difference
in the different kinds of saw-dust.
For example, while hard pine saw
dust from the ship-yard is pure and
sweet, even fragrant, and readily
takes up the urine, it is not so valu-
able or good for the soil as hard
wood dust, or even our native
soft-wood dust from spruce, hemlock
etc, The reason is because the pine
is full Of resin, which is almost wa
ter and rot proof. 1t will last quite
a time and not decay, whereas the
hard wood readily and rapidly de-

the high-sounding pretensiOns with
which his name is put fOrths The
anti-negrO suffrage men and Old Line
Wings and Democrats will OUtnumber
those three classes two to one. And
with the help ofthe friends of JOHN

ment, and know his peculiar fitness
for the Mayoralty, we do not hesitate
to express the opinion that Mr.. JOHN
SON will be easily elected. But
WALKER is one Of our oldest and
most willy political managers. And
it may be expected that neither he
nor his friends will leave any stone
unturned. The friends Of Mr.. JOHN
SON must go to work. He viii not

the best interests of the city at heart
win make the necessary eXertiOns.
Let them go to work. There is back
bone enough in the Old Line Wings,
Democrats and anti-negrO suffrage
men now combined as the Democratic
party of Memphis to elect by an over
whelming majority any man they
please. Let them do it. The election
is next Thursday. There is no time

1t is only the man whose worth is

SUBMISSION to party discipline is
absolutely necessary to party success.
When RAYMOND left the Radical
party to assist at Philadelphia in the
formation of a Conservative party, ne
was ruled out by his former asso-
ciates, and though he repented and
went back to the heathenism and
deviltry of Radicalism, was never
forgiven, trusted, or consulted. He
was rigidly excluded from party af-
Citation, because it was found neces-
sary so to do-in order that Radicqlism
might solidly confront the Democratic
party, which, like the Wing and
other parties, has always been held
together by the motto that " whose is
not for Us is against US" The Demo-
cratic party of Memphis, in COnven-
ton assembled, have nominated JOIN
JOHNSON for Mayor. The Democrat
who votes against him, or uses his in
fuence against him, should be ruled
out as in cOntumacy and open viola
ton of the most sound and solid Of
Democratic doctrines. If discipline
be not now enforced, stringently and
strictly enforced, we may as well give
up and consent to take our chances to
secure from a mob, without principles
or party organization, a city govern
ment worthy our future, and fitted to
lead US out of present financial trouble.

THE Mobile Register and MontgOm-
cry Mail have forsworn all partizan
connection and utilization with blacks.
They will hereafter make no cOmprO-
misesor concessions. This is either a
white mans government or the ne
gro's. We have seen and expounded
this fact and this issue made from the
beginning. The whole press Of Missis-
sippi, with few exceptions, c~onfessses
its blunder in the effort made to ride
two horses at the same time. The
contest is plain one, and we have it
thrust upon US in this city by our old
friend, Mr.. SAM. WALKER, who has
secured the solid negro vote and hopes
because of past deeds and fidelity, to
lraw after him in his opposition to
Democracy, the Irish voters Of this
-ity. Never yet was there a true En-
GRADER found locked in the embraces
Of SambO or Diuah. The game can
not win, and Mr.. WALKER's c~learness
Of perception, when selflOve did not
mislead him, would so instruct. He
is now committing the capital blum
der of his life. Never before did he
faiter, and that he should seek to dis
rupt his party and oppose its action
lifelong service in the ~ceaseless
condemnation of all who have done
what he now would do, amazes many
who have never failed to cooperate
with him.

FOR WHARFMASTER:
ROBERT GOODE.

THERE was never a nomination
made by a partisan convention IN this
city so thoroughly approved by Front
street as that Of Mr.. JOHNSON. In
fact, for many years, this gentleman
was deemed the very impersonatiOn
Of the virtues and idiosyncrasies Of
the ancient "Front Row." He be
came a manufacturer not very long
ago, but has never lost his identity
as an honest, energetic tradesman.
On the afternoon, when the nomina-
ton Of Mr.. JOHNSON was announced,
all the old cotton merchants, gro
Gerry and hardware dealers, as they
collected in little knots and wandered
away to their homes, congratulated
one another that a true representative
man Of the morals and energies Of
Front street would surely become the
city's Chief Magistrate. DAVID
TOWNSEND or VICTOR NJ. MURPHY
would not present more perfectly in
his own person the pecUliarities and
honest worth Of Memphis tradesmeD
than Mr.. JOHNSON, the Democratic
white mans candidate. It is sought,
IS we are advised, to consolidate the
vote Of North Memphis with that OF
the Loyal Le8gues-in behalf of Mr..
WALKER. The scheme fails in its
very announcement. North Memphis
cannot be induced, on any terms or in
behalf Of any candidate, to affiliate
with SOdOm, Rotten Row and Hell's-
halfAcre. Irishmen, in their original
homes, in Cork, on the banks OF the
Shannon, in the hills of Killarney,
and the daughters of Irishmen are the
fairest, whitest Of all the children O
ADAM. They wiz never mix with
CUffee in social life or at the ballot
box; and this fusion Of two races,
which is now sought to be effected on
the universal suffrage WALKER plat
form, can never be accomplished while
the instincts Of Trishmen remain unim-
paired. The election of Mr.. JOHN
SON is, therefore, certain, if there be
no regular negro-nominated candi-
date in the field, and if a Radical as
pirant draw of the savage vote Mr..
WALKER is helpless and hopeless.

NUM-.
His Letter to Gen. Thomas Answered by 4
Radical.

Avery" the East Tennessee cor
respondent of the Cincinnati CONNER
ciai, (Radical,) referring to the resolu-
ton to sell Gen. Thomas portrait,
says:
Congressman Num- takes il upon
himself TO write Gen. Thomas a letter
upon this subject, in which he deals
altogether in vituperation and Bill
ingsgate. Allowing that the resolu-
ton TO sell the portraits of Brownlow
and Thomas was foolish and uncalled
for, yet there is no ground whatever
for such a letter as Num- writes to the
General. The starving and murder
ing of $4,000 Union prisoners alluded
to by the eloquent Congressman, has
nothing whatever to do with the case.
The people of Tennessee are not re-
sponsibie for all the crimes committed
during the war, yet it would seem so
from what Mum has to say in his
letter about the portrait. He brings
in the whole rebellion, and accuses the
Legislature of being malignant rebels,
etc, for proposing 10 sell the portraits.
When we reflect that the proposition
only received eight votes, and that
the man who introduced the measure
was a soldier under Gen. Thomas, it
is difficult to e the symptoms of re-
bellion that are 10 plain to the lynx
