Cetewayo and his Zulus continue as impla- cable as ever. The attempt to surround and capture him does not promise success, and the whole job seems scarcely nearer an end than before the recently belauded victory of the British invaders.
 It adds horror to the account of the railway disaster near Nancy, France, to learn that it was the work of scoundrel who hoped to kill some of the Ministers. The iren car couplings were filed almost in two, so that their break ing was matter of course.

General Santiago Gonzalez, an cx-presidcnt of San Salvador now on visit to this country has been interviewed by N. Y. World re- porter on the inter oceanic canal. Gen. Santi- ago is now resident of Nicaragua He was identified with Valle in the war between Gau- temala and San Salvador. When the treaty of peace was signed between those two coun- tries he retired to Nicaragua where he is now extensively engaged in commercial enterprises.

OUR CORRESPONDENCE.
Baltimore Letter.
st. Patricks Day-Lent-Sad DEATH
Especial correspondence to the JOURNAL
BALTIMORE, March Is, 1879.

81. PatrackS Day-Lent-Sad Death.
Especial correspondence to the JOURNAL.
BALTIMORE, March Is, 1879.
st. Patrics day in Baltimore this
year was as st. Patrick's day has gen.
orally been in years past and will
most probably be in time to come-a
rainy, d.sagreeable day. Early in the
morn .ng drizzling rain commenced
falling, and in the four inch deep
mud in the middle of the streets,
marched the jealous Irish citizens Of
Baltimore, determined to pay due
tribute to ST. Patrick, their patron
saint. The procession was very fine
being about six miles in length and,
Notwithstanding the terrible condi-
ton CT the streets, made tie entire
prescribed route of nearly nine miles
in less than three hours. In the
evening banquets and entertainments
Of all kinds were INDUCED, and the
dull, stormy day closed, marked by
no suspension of business or by no
other demonstrations than those made
By the Irish.
Lent necessarily makes everything
in the way of amusements very quiet,
but what people have given up in
balls, theatres, etc.. they seem to be
making up in patronizing the skating
rink. The attendance at this place
has considerably increased since the
season OF Lent commenced, people 60
ing there night after night, meeting
all their friends and having as much
gayety and fun as at ball; the only
difference is in the name.
A very sad death occurred here on
Sunday night in Baptist church of
a young lady who had only the week
before been baptised in the same
church. Last Sunday evening she
was with some friends who had lust
been immersed and in asking one of
them if she did not feel happy, fell
over and expired before she could be
taken home and without regaining
consciousness. PIoxEHs.

To SAY the least the prospect for n:
good work this year lis very hopeful il
not Aattering. We are now fully
$4,000 tons ahead Of the same period
last year with fair promise of pro
rata increase to the end. Water was
turned into the canal yesterday pre-
paratory to shipments next Monday,
after which it is expected work will
go on At full tide.
It has been remarked in this con-
nection that reduction of Is cents
per ton upon carriage Of Clearfeld
coal by the Pennsylvania railroad
company will likely interfere very
materially with our trade. We are
since informed that this very liberal
concession to that product will be met
by corresponding reduction both by
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad and
Chesapeake and Ohio canal companies
upon the transportation of our coal.
Should this be true, and there are ex-
cellent reasons for believing it, our
trade will be fully able to hold its
own.
The one great fact is apparent at
any rate that the demand for allqual-
tiles of coal is great and growing.
The supplies carried over the winter
were never so light as this spring, and
with old industries reviving and new
ones springing into being, it is hardly
too much to hope that we are enter
ing prosperous period. Certain it
is, if this hope be we'll founded in u
general way, it is in particular way,
and if the rest of the world gets
along nicely our great product is
bound to obtain the large share Of
patronage warranted by its univer-
sally acknowled ged merit.

All the operators who have offices
on Walnut street, are of the opinion
that coal must bring higher prices la
ter on in the year, for the individual
operators cannot afford to mine and
ship at the current low rates this
will bring about a scarcity of coal
quite as much as any agreement to re-
strict production. The demand this
year will be fully up to twenty-five
or three million tons, End as the months
go by and this proportionately is not
done; then the trade will be crowded
into few months, and naturally the
demand will bring about a higher price
We think there is great deal of force
in this process of reasoning, and it be-
hooves dealers to stock up at the low
rates at which coal can now be had
