Anthracite Coal.

The Canadians seem to be troubled very
much because the United States has laid an
embargo on the export of this article. This
embargo occasio MS great Inconvenience TO
many manufacturers and others who have
built their furnaces expressly for this kind of
fuel. The reason assigned for this embargo
is that the coal is exported from Canada to
the West Indies to supply the blockade run
ners. The Montreal papers say, that but one
cargo has thus been exported, and that not
by a Canadian merchant. Perhaps that may
be So The remedy for this trouble is an or
Ter in council forbidding the export of an
thracite coal from Canada, and If this were
done, then the Cananians think our Govern
ment might change its policy with regard to
this article. Petitions have been presented to
the authorities in Canada, and the Provinces,
to adopt some measures that will secure a
supply of coal. We hardly think they will
succeed at present.

FIRST GRAND MARSHAL SANTA ANNA
1t would be a strange Mexican revolution in
which Gen. Santa Anna should not be either
one Of the chief agents, or the prime victim.
The news of his appointment to the post OF
Grand Marshal of the Empire, the very fore
most in the gift of the new Sovereign, is fol-
lowed this morning by the report that the ex-
Dictator Is to be brought from his place of ex-
lie in the vessel that conveyed Maximilan to
his new do inions, with all the circumstance
and pomp that the new Imperial Government
can extemporize In his honor. But a few
months the venerable ex-President was
ordered cut Of Mexico by the French Com.

The celebrated Confederate man-of-war,
the Alabama, has at last been disposed Of
sent TO the bottom, as was most beftting.-
The strict watch the English Government
now maintain over the ports of the kingdom
renders it unlikely that the rebels will ever be
able TO get hold of such another vessel
There viii be no little rejoicing among our
neighbors over the result OF the conflict, and
well there may be, for Capt. Semmes has
proved sore annoyance to the United States
merchants. His was most inglorious task
the burning Of mere trading ships The
first time he dared enter upon fair stand up
fight he was beaten, and his career, for time,
at least, ended.-[Toronto Globe.

A MOST remarkable case of gun shot wound
is that OF rebel soldier in Georgia, who was
recently in the hospital at Marietta. Two
bullets passed through his head, making four
holes at which the brains were coming out,
and astonishing TO tell, he was perfectly con-
scious, and conversed intelgently concerning
his situation, and was anxious to .know the
doctors opinion of his case. He was alive
thirty-six honrs after the infiction of the
wound and may be yet.-lThe Crutch.
