Tho Seoretary of War has lately issued ® very valuadie and interesting report on the importation of camels into the Untted States for purposes of military transportation, and as {t ts not vory likely to fall under the genoral roader’s couce, we sabjoin a synopsis. Op the Sd of March, 2855, thirty thoussad dollars were appropriated, to be expended under the direction of tho ‘Way Department, tor the purchase of camels and impor- tation of dromedaries, The Secretary of the Navy also sappited the storeship Supply, under the able and oxpe- enced command of Lieutenant Porier, in order to carry out the wishes of the government in this novel and im Doriant undertaking. At thesame time Major Houry C. Wayne, of United States army, was oommissioned to proceed to the Lovant and iawror of Asia, wita farther instructions obtain from experienced persons in Eag. land, France and Tuscany every information bearing npon the use and introduction imwo she United States of the camel for military purposes. Ta accordance with these Instructions, {n the month of May following, tho expedition set unt, und on tho 7th June Major Wayno arrived iu London where he remainsd for ort time colleoting iniormauon respectiog the habits, mode of living, acclimation, &o., @” the gainos im the Zo0- logical Gardens. Proceeding to Paris, where he obtained & variety of usoful facts in relation to the camel from officers who were in the French Algorine service, be went up tne Mo-literranean, Imided at fonis, where he fell in with Lieutenant ‘Porter, and tbrovzh the American Consul, Chandler, had an iuerview with the Bey Mohammed Pasha, on being requested to grant a permit for the embarkation of a camel the Major had purchased, toquired the object, upon learning whica he generously present=d two fine blooded stallions, which were accepted tn the name of the Presi- dont and peop.e of the Un.ied Staves, The expedition thon visited Maits, Sioyrna and Sslontoa, ard landed at Uonstantinopie on the 4th Ootoher. From this piace Major Wayne wri esto the department:—“At Sayrpa we saw maby fine secimens of the camel, but no dromedaries, and, owlmg to the Crimean war, the demand for them being very great—tte Bri !uh having in one order contracted for the hiring of $,000—the prices of the anl- mais bad considerably advanced, ging from $40 to $60 for (he beat femaies, and from'$15 w $100 for the best males’? Finoing mt this p’ace that a to Persia, where it was anticipates the tinest breed could be obiained, was not ai that seazon of ihe year feasiole, Major Wayne and Lieut, Porter jod to Balaklava, avd thero had the fallest opportunity, from the immense number of camels in use by the allies, to get the most complete information fas to thelr adaptation for military purposes. Here they saw the two kinds—tho Bastrina or two humped camel, and the Arabian or one humped—the Int- ter being considered the more serviceable. in a con versation with Colonel McMurdo as to the availibility of the came! for military purposes, (he Ovicuel were most efficient, baying Rad 25,000 expodition agsinst Sciade, and bo insianced tho organization of the camel corps under Gonoral Napior, consisting of one thovsaud men taounted upen 600 dro- medaries, two men to each drom-dary, the men ail! back to back, one facing the bead, the olber the tall, and both armed with rifles and saares.
