Don Anlonia Lopez do Santa Anna, who has been appointed Field Marshal by Maximilian, is always turning pp. lie is an clastic and irrepressible football of destiny. In 'Iris interview with Gcft. Houston, after the battle of San Jacinto, he said: "General, you can afford to be generous ; you are born to,no common des^ tiny, you have conquered the Napoleon of the West." ,It must he admitted that, after many vicissitudes of fortune, he is now, if not Napoleon, next bet one to Napoleon's nephew, which is coming considerably ueufer to Napoleon than most who lay claiin to that title. :v, For more than forty, years Santa Anna Jhas^ been a soldier, and among the. many Generals of Mexico none have approached him in genius *hnd energy. Maximilian, who has no doubt repeated of late that part of his studies wlijeh o M~... J " - .wwwuv-.t iuu i"?c?v >? ouu, must ue won acquainted with the brilliant, ami eccentric career of this military and political comet. Possibly he has not overlooked the fact that the first Emperor of Mexico, Iturlvide, was assisted to the throne in 18*J*U by Santa Anna, who served under him and had been Ids great friend. In one year after he had helped to put lturbiile in, he put him out. Maximilian is, perhaps, also aware that history sometimes repeats itself. , . That is his concern and not ours.

On the opening of the present Virginia campaign, his regiment being transferred to the bloody fields of that State, ho cheerfully and full of patriotic hope, went forth to his new. field of duty?he ever believing it to bo his dut3r, respond cheerfully, wherever liis services were mostly needed.
