The Lurnpliin Palladium, received tlile
morning, bringa us gratifying intelligence
from Stewart .county. The American party
have baadaqmaly redeemed it, alecting their
entire county ticket,,and giving Wimberly
and Norwood large majoritiea. It ieevident
thyt Mr". Wimberly’* vote was not a party
teat, many Democrats supporting him ; but
we are the more gratified at this becauee it
is an emphatic repudiation by the people of
Stewart county of the attempt to make the

The Hag Crop.
We copy under our Commercial bead an
article from lb« Louisville Journal, which
maintains that tho amount of pork packed
this year is mueb less than that of last year,
and anticipates a return to Jba high priced
of I8&7. Wa can not, of .course, dispute
tbe correctness^ ihe returns from tbs great
hog-raieing regions, upon Which the Journal
bases these calculations ; but there is^n^lher
important element affecting the price ™
bacon which that paper hia not taken into
the account. Should tbs co lon-growing
regiona of tho United States, in anpono
year, raise tbe whole of their own bacon,
wo think wo may safely aasume that tb*y
would thereby decrease the demand uptn
the hog-exporting region at* f least to the
emount of one-lbird of its annual '•crop."
This the cotton-growing region baa not done
this year, byt wa are fully persuaded that 4
has come nearer to it than usQal—certainly
much nearer than in 1866. Doth the corn
and potato crops of tbe Sooth have been
Urge ibis year—tbe Utter bejjig an extraor
dinary yield; and more hoga have been
fattened upon the- surplus products of the
Southern plantations. This must have bean
tbe cast, because corn bow commands as
high a price ae it usually does in the South ;
notwithstanding the Urge crop, which lands
to show that planters have need more of it
than usual. In addition lo this, not otily
are more hoga to be seen throughout tho
Southern country, on tho plantatione, hut
the number driven from Tennessee and clsc-
bere to the South baa been unusually small
this year. Many of our exchanges remark
upon the aca{city of droves from a distance,
and yet poik haa appeared to be aa plenty
as uauol at tbe South.
Wo conclude, therefore, that there will be
a larger amount of home-raised pork than
usual consumed at tbe &uuth ibis year, and
that this increase ought te be taken into
the account iu estimating the general pack
ing bueinrea nf Ihe country.
A ltullroad to the Pacific.
We observed and copied with much
interest the daily reports of the recent Pa
cific Railroad Convention in New Orleans,
becauso wa regarded ae dependent upon it
a mensuro which ought to be dear to the
South, not only for ite intrinsic importance,
bat also for the vantage ground which its
success affords us in combatting a gigantic
system of Government plunder projected by
Northern politicians. Wa rejoice, therefore,
that the Texas Pacific Uiilroad is by the
action of that convention aecured beyond
peradventure, and wa truat that its success
will unite the entire Southern delegations
in Congress in opposition to Government
aid lo any other railroad connecting the
Mississippi with the Pacific. We aay this
in no sectional spirt, but because the ad
vantages of the Texne route are now m
great and evident ai to make the conetruc
lion of the roud along any ether route
by the Government a most glaring act of
■ectional injustice.
Let ue consider a few fade. The State
of Texas lies granted to this road sixteen
sections of land (10,240 acres) for overy
milo across the entire Slate, from its eastern
themselves, in all probability,
build tl.e road. They certainly will If only
$1 60 per acre can he realized for them;
for the country is admirably adapted to Ihe
building of a cheap railroad, being mostly
very level, with timber at convenient intri
vale. This leaves only about 050 mill ;
through territory of the Federal Uovernmer
to Han Diego on the Pacific. The Texe J
por'inu of the route la for the most pat.
through ii settled country, or one thut eooii
will settle up when Ihe road ia built—beini
fertile and lacking only commercial facililii f
lo malts it a productive and prosperou 1
region. Beyond El Peso the country 11
infinitely I eitsr than that of any mot
Northern route, and it also would soon l
settled by enterprising emigrants when th ■
road afforded them facilities of ccmmunici. ;
lion and protection from the Indiana. A
this route would be in a latitude so far soul
that the road would uever be obstructed ty
deep snows and ice. The eastern terminu
of tho roaJ, by connections already in pro
grass by way of Shreveport and Fulton
would Imvo branches leading to the Misait
sippi at Yicktburg, Gaines' Landing, Ark
Memphis and 8t. Louis, thus connecting i
with all tho greet lines of railroad of ih’i
Middle and Northern Hlataa; and New 0»»
leans will tap it by a continuation of lh*F
Opelousas road. These are the incompara
ble advantages of a road running south u.
Rod river. By any routo mr.h of Texas,
the General Government would have to con
struct a road at least 1800 and probably
2000 uiilca in length—aay three times the
longtli of ita part of the Texas route, b
would run through a country mostly barren
and a groat deal more broken and difficult
tbau the Texae and El Paso line. Both
timber and water statione would be
difficult to find. The coat of construction
per mile would be much greater. The coun
try ie of such a character that it would not
be generally settled. And deep snow* and
severe cold in the winter would be a serious
obstacle to regular travel. Indeed it would
seem almost impracticable to build and main
tain a railroad by any route north if Red
jiver. It ie iaeiated on, in the face of man
ifest (M»*4vanta(se, purely ae a measure of
sectional prepom#»«^ C e f or the North, re-
gardleaa of the condition atf the national
treasury or of the prospective w^ds of
commerce.
We do not wish to be understood as
advocating tba construction, at this time, of
even the wratem aection of tbe Texas Pa
cific Railroad by the General Government.
W bile we have none of the constitutional
scruples in reference to tbe power of Con
gress which a certain party at the Houth
used to have when Internal Improvements
by the General Government were talked of,
we know that just uow the national treaeury
ia bankrupt and tba Uovernmant deeply in
debt. In addition to this, if wa of the South
now struggle to procure Government aid to
tba Texas route, v® thereby go into a strug
gle for rout:s with a section that greatly
outnumbers pa in Congress and will be sure
to come olT victorious in such a contest.
The policy of our faction, we think, is a
defensive one ; by adhering to Mr. Calhoun's
"masterly inactivity" when it ia proposed to
take any present Congressional action on
the subject, V# may defer the final ieaue
until the Teiae road ie completed to El Paso,
and then the federal Government will be
either forced to tee its advantages or capi.
lalista will, and will invest tteJr money to
carry it ou to >he Pacific. I
Progreuing 1
It will be remembered ibal feet winter and
spring our neighbor, tba Timet, pretty se
verely denounced Judge Docolas for bis
courea on tbo Kansas question; as, indeed,
it could not consistently bavo failed te do
atyer to bitterly denouncing Mr. Cnrrram>aj(
for pretty nearly tbe aaroe course. But tho
policy of Judge Douglao succeeded, and
ehortly tbereafter our neighbor spiked hia
gun and declared that -he would not firs
another shot at the Illinois Senator—that it
was uselessly distracting the Democracy, dee.
Wa tried our Weil to induce tba Timet to
unspike and fire away again; bat all lo no
purpose—Ha could move it neither by
entreaty nor rsiljory. Tho Judge was
evidently on rising ground—tho Fxoooqil
Democracy were rallying around him—and
neighbor, aa we then said, read the
indications with all tbe consternation with
wbi< h Belsbatzir looked upon the band
writing on the well. The spirit of hie
opposition was bro en, and his knees smote
together when hu thought of Charleston,
1860. Htill, however, our neighbor could
not bring himself to say aught in prai\t of.
Judge Douglas. We fancied him, like
Milton's rebel chief, inwardly foitifying
himself with the resolution —
"That tribute nrtmi skaU hia wrath or
Kttort from ms." -
But "the Douglas" grew stronger and still
stT»n?eT v/tth the people. One after another
the Democratic strongholds of the .North
surrendered to his assaults, until finally he
triumphed in his own Htate over the com
bined forces of the Black .fiepublicans and
the Administration Democracy. The con
summation of that triumph is shown in the
re-election of Judge Dougina to the IJ. 8.
Senate, and in the very »nmo psperjji whipb
it announces this Utter .event, the Time#
compliments in the following terms th
speech of Judge Douglas in N®w/ork :
In thus praising Judge Douglas, we are
understood aa abating one iota in oui
hostility (o ihe dogma of popular sovereign
ly. of which he is ihe champion and author,
tribute of juatice to Ilia views uplrfn
question which wiU soup test the state
inatinhip of our wisest men." Let Judge
Douglas lake the lend in the abolition of the
Neutrality laws, which now bind ue down
and no other nation—letting ottr 'pofio^ look
,r deatiny’—hatuaonixing it ’with what
come in the future’—and bis at^r of
glory which has been setting behind the
western skies may buam again in brightness
and splendor."
In plain teims, we suppose, Judge Douglas
may atone fur defeating tbe admission nf
Kansas as a altveholding 8taie— for his
weli-piuved intrigues and a'lianca with ,1b*
Black Republicans at Washington—for his
repudiation ol the Dred Hcott decision—and
for his dangerous Squatter Movereign.ty
schemes, which hs and his frieuds ate
urging with all the arts and appliances of
unscrupulous demagogues--; by pimply sup
porting the repeal of tbe niiutrsliiy laws !
His star of glory tnsy beam again in
brightness and splendor, if he wi|l only take
the load in abolishing Ihoaolawsl Well,
that's a cheap redemption from political
purgatory, and the Judge will prove himself
the most unreasonable politician ever con
signed to that uncomfortable abode, if ha
fails lo embraco it.
u-. «»ur itina is, that it is not the neutrality
laws that ihe Foutb ia indignant about. It
is the (thane of those laws by such acts as
those of f'aulding und Chatard, and by the
lutings ami other proceedings of Judge
Campbell at New Orleans and Mobile, that
has nroused tho op, nsition of the people of
the South. The laws could bo endured-—
they do net, at least, curb the people of the
South morn than those of the .North; but
tlivir partial execution to the oppression of
our aection, and their vi dvnt tension to
•uhserve the purposes of a Frortoil pxec-
uiivr, is the tight shoe that pipchea tho
Southern foot.
t auiele lor Work*
Wo copy In another column a very inter-
eating letter from a gentleman thoroughly
acquainted with the capacities and nature
of the Camels imported and used by the
Government for transportation across the
Plains. It will bo seen that he entertains
no doubt of the success and economy of
Using tho animal lor the ordinary work of
farmers. Home lime since we noticed the
importation of a number of Camels by indi
vidual entrrpiiae, and we now observe from
an advertisement in the Now Orleans Pic

tation. They are recommended for plough

fitgjr The runaway negro, whom Deputy
Sheriff Irish wanted to take from a brig
arrived in Boston harbor last week, escaped
from the vessel while she was temporarily
detained in the Narrows. He pushed out a
plank, unobserved by the officers, and op it
made hia way to a small island, from which
he whs taken by a passing sloop and of
course conveyod at once to an "underground
railroad" station. When, therefore, the brig
arrived at tbe wharf, the negro could not bo
found either by the deputy elieriff or by tbe
captain. It would appear that the captain
really wanted to restore him to his master.
It ia reported that after the deputy sheriff
and Judge Russel! (for a Judge loo was
endeavoring to violate the fugitive slave
law!) had vainly searched for tho negro,
"tba captain remarked to theaa that be had
made up his tpiud lo blow the pigger'a
brains out if any out eame on board to mo-
lest him, as it wee a hanging offence out
8oulh to carry off a nigger. The Judge
«ot>lly informed the captain that it was a
hanging offence at the North to blew a
nigger's brains out."

complete change of the i’rr-idnni'e ground

Bulwer Convention, has not I***, and can
not be, satisfactorily explained, and the re
cant ferformances of 8ir do ra Onsaley in

mystery which surrounds it. IThe fact is
well known here, that the Derby Minisir*
signified officially to our Gortroment last
spring, a willingness to abrogate on our

a substantial recognition of all Mr.
Clayton had sought iu bis treaty with 8ir
Henry tiulwer, so far ae British influence
in Central America was concerned. Lord
Napier, in his fqmilar conferences and in
tercourses with leading public men, openly
avowed the disposition nf his government to
meet us more than half way. and frankly
gfkngwledged that the Derby Ministry had

Yee. reader, we have seen one ol them—a
veritable African, and doubtless one of iha
cargo of the Wanderer—though we do not
aver it—only saving that Den IJ. 8. Mar
shal Gordon had at the Oglethorpe House,
on Wednesday laat, a likely negro hoy.
about 12 years old, which he aaid he caught
on Jekyl. The boy held a conversation in
our preaenee, with an old African owned by
a citizen of Brunswick, in which he slated
that "him daddy's dead,"—his mother died
in the ship—he waa sick—there were 00
many on the vessel he couldn't count them
—said ha com* irom Boonsh. aa well aa we
could catch tha sound. Un being asked if
he wanted to go back again, he inquired if
tbia waa a good country—old African said
yee—then y >ung African’d other »ay 'ere.'
He i« perhaps a prince of the blood. wl.©#e

cattoa of an nr tick from lb* Alabama 8a»*
tinel, "On the «uaoa of Cemels," by a cere
respondent who eigua himself "Jatros.' f —
The purpose of dk* nKicle is to indura i».
qniry as to Aha .usofodwese of the camel ia
tbe production qf.corn And cotton, and our
plantations generally. Having been occu
pied now tep yofo with ihe experiment #f
introducing tbe a:\sdcI gate this country,
permit me to offrj Ahraugh your column.,
briefly to“J*troe," end olAer inquirers, n
few of the result* of xn*(Uo«, observation
sod thought upon theae po in te. To do so
concisely, and st the earn* .tune oufEciently,
I will follow them in their gwiUr 4 «■ presen
ted by your correspondent.
The climstive range of the caoul, within
which be haa been known, indisputably, to
live, thrive and bs useful, may be eteted st
from 60 deg. to 63 <Leg. North latitude.—
The mean temperate e of this z>ne may
be rated st from 60 deg. t > 68 deg. Fahren
heit. As aniuiaU, we know, are diffused
tbe glob.i, first, according to zones of
climate, and, seron , according to degreea
of longitude ; and a« sve know that ••cam-
land" and the United Hi area are i elu
ded in tbe aaroe zones of climate; snJ as,
further, the secondary order of arrangement
by (longitude) is but of trivial importance,
yonr correspondent ie right in his supposi
tion "that tho camels would flourish in
any latitude within the United 8t*trs."
The coat of s camel, a good, acmcesble
one, landed at Mobile or Penascoia, may
he put down st from from $150 to $200
not more, I think, if tbe purchase and
tranepoKetiwo are judiciou.iy managed.—
The greatest rl|«iue in general wi.l be in
gbe freight, h any project, therefore, for
A$* introduction uf the animal, this must
be the ire in item for close calculation.—
Ho rar aaike voyaga »■ concerned, there
need he no apprebensiou, for I knuw of ni
animal ao little troublesome end to comfort
able at sea aa the camel. 1 speak from a
tolerably large experience in the IranaporU.-
linn nf horses anJ mules during our war
with Mexico. Ho far ae the motion of th®
vassal goes, whether in calm or in gals, nun
hundred camel# woufJ nut cause as much
anxiety or give sr much trouble as tan hor
se*.
The cemrl doee not consume more food
than a horae or mule ; prefer# e coarser diet,
satisfies itself readily with either scanty
grazing oe browsing ; requires feeding bit
once a day. being ■ ruminant; and would
be with diffiruly digressed fur water. It
requires no close stable ; only * shad pro
tecting it from cold northerly winds end
from felling weather; end require# no
grooming, though certainly hethbitr andbet-
ter, like other animals, for e clean skin. Tho
camel ie undoubtedly t hardier and tough
er animal than the borer; nut au>pe*s«d, if
equaled, iu theae respects, by tb# mule;
and wglh belf the forage of either, and with
two nr three hours of grazii g or browsing,
con be kopt in toudition. In addition lo
th* economy of forage, tbe use uf cam
els saves the untjay fur wagons end
carta, harness, afiors and the mceaaajy
repairs tor them. The park-reddle bvjng ae
simple iu its finnatpjetion as to be readily
meda on the plsntetio a, its noat will bs
but trilling. It* weight, moraovtr, com.
pared with that of s wagon or csrl„ increet*
a# lh«* physical energy devoted to tb® trans
portation of goods. F-t the t distance*, say
about s pianist on, or for six a eight miles« g
the road, s strong came! will cirry on en av»«
rage from e-ghl hundred to one thouased
pounds. The I'iulu* of Asia Minor, the
the produce uf lb® double.liuiuped Hadrian
male on tfie singbvbumprd Arabian female,
w|l| average, fay the same dielai-cea, fr<>m
one thouaend to fifteen hundred pounds—
AH of the stateioeuia in my efficial report
of what "aa duo* by the oamels under my
direction in Texas are made from accurate
weights and closely computed distance*.
Ho Isr, the general edvautegeg frmn using
camels may he sucomed up sa follows :
They will flujn.h a a well in the United
Bu'ea a* wither borer a or muter,
'1 hey may be introduced st Mobile or pen*
•scols st rales not greater, certainhrnot
much great#, tfcsu fTCI flF
They are not ts expel sire to feed ea hor
ae* or mules.
They require no close stable* nor groera-
itig.
'1 hey sr* as tough end ** hardly ss either
hors* or mule.
1 bey save a heavy outlay for wagon*,
certs, harness, end shoes, and s constant
tax for tbr ir ref sirs.
Their | hyaieal energy i* not larrely drew:
upon forth draught ofa wag..u or cert,
end therefor® i* proportionately given more
usefully lo the Ira importation of goods.
Tfiry will do iqore work at tbr aame cost
end keeping than either h< tee . r mule.
The** arc the general advantages that I
think may Ue fairly clsimrd lor the rain* l.
Now let ua examine huw Isr tl is animei,
with these advantages, tnuy Ue luuabla tor
•Ut plsulstinn or farm u#se.
In Egypt I have ae<u tbe cam*-1 us«d in
cities and in the country,on plantation#, iu
Itelife, and on the rued, for every purpose
that horsr# and mule* are used with ua. f

chopped straw, corn, cotton, fodder, mer-
chandtae of nil kind*, men, women sod
children, and with their burdens stepping
intelligently and with >ur®-footeduea into
sod out ol clum»y ferry boats. And I have
seen them uaetully occupied in carrying bur
dens on the dams and check binki of ric®
plantatione. U there anything more then

A* e Southern man. from a cotton, corn,

advantage in our agricultural lab ts, wbil*
pulling corn or foJdor, or picking c< iton, in
transporting them from the field* to th* barn
or ginhouso, in carrying eoad, manure, fire

enough to find a plaro m your Column*, end
result in benefit to eur country, especially to
