Anthracite for MNam NrSsrls.

few weeks since, white travelling on the North
River, on our retnrn from Albany 10 New York, we
engaged passage in the s,camboa, TROY. The
praises of this noble vessel were areody familiar to
us, and we were not disappointed. For speed,
comfort and cleanliness, we never saw her equal
and we doubt If she anywhee has her superior
But what surprised and pleased us most, the
fact, that the fuel she used was our own pennsyl-
vania Anthracite Coal The TROY" we believe,
has been several years in use and has given uni
vcrsal satisfaction. Her engines, we believe, are
similar to those since constructed for the Russian
Freate Kamschatld. On the upper deck, and
nearly each Sc, of bSiers, there is Fan, pro-
PEELED by small engine, which connects with the
fue, and affords sufficient draught for every pur
pose. Upon inquiry from one of the conductors
we ascerained that they gave coal decided prefer
.,nce over wood. But what is of vastly greater i'm
portance, is the great economy and saving IN the
Use of coal for fuel. This saving alone, our inIor.
uant added, amounted to about forty dollars per
day. Now supposing the "'rtoy" should lie kept
running eight months, 240 days in the year.
This atforty dollars per day, would amount to nine
thousand six hundred dollars per annum A
handsome cum. really, of itself, to realize and
above the profits of steamboats, using wood as their
fuel.
Wnh these facts hefnre them, the government,
I've think owes tito itself as well as to the country,
TO adapt the new steam vessels that are about be-
ing constructed, to theus of anthracite coal, We
are confident snsh a course would give general sa-
.isiatton. Sound economy and patriotism de-
mand, at least'tiat The experiment should be made.
the experiment should succeed, and we cannot
,oneieve why it should not, several Government
