GA1ENA AND MINNESOTA PACKET CoMrANY-An-
RANGEMENr FOR lS54.-Thc Galeua and Mime

navigation next season, be prepared to run
Daily Line of Packets from Galena to ST. Paul
Three new Boats will be added to the present
stock, two of which are now building at Cincin-
natl. Said boats will be built, finished, furnish
cd and fitted up in style unsurpassed by any
boats on the western waters. This line will run
in connection with the Galena & Chicago Union
Railroad. the Michigan Central Railroad, the
Southern Michigan & Northern Indiana Railroad,
the Chicago & Rock Island Railroad. the Hi
nois Central Railroad, and the Daily Line of
Galena st. Louis Packets, and all passengers
and shippers, by either of the above lines NAV
depend upon this line for transportation of
themselves or freight, from Galcna to ST. Paul
and intermediate ports, without delay and with

The Advertiser further remarks that the new
boats which this line will put into the trade
will be of the first class-equalt to any that float
on the Western waters. We learn from anoth-
er source that Capt r. S. Harris is to command
one of the new packets. and a second will be in
charge of Capt. Morehouse, successor Of NJ. W.
Lodwick. Capt. NJ. has heretofore been one of
the most popular commanders in the St. Louis
and Galcna trade. The remaining new craft of
the line it is expected will be placed in COM
mand of Capt. Pres. Lodwick, late of the Doc
tor Frankiin--a general favorite in these upper
ports, and one that could not now be well spar
ed from the trade. Blakely, we suppose will
stick to the Nominee, but the company will suf-
fer loss almost irreparablc in Brooks, who
leaves to take the command of splendid
through packet between here and ST. Louis
Our citizens will strongly encourage this enter
prise of Brooks and it is matter of both in
tercst and pleasure to the people Of Minnesota
to know that although the old line loses the
valuable services of this gentleman, we do not.
The old Doctor VIC suppose, will exc out an

How about the new line talked of by the gen.
tlcmen from Dubuque month since? We see
no mention Of it in any Of the papers below.
a RAILROAD WAR.--A war is now raging be-
tween some of the railroad companies and the
citizens of Erie, Pa, in which VIC of Minnesota
are interested, inasmuch as if the belligcrcnt
citizens carry out their threats our direct win
ter line of travel to the East WILL be broken It
is known generally, that some twenty miles of
this line, extending from Erie to the New York
State boundary, is wide gage road ; and the
combined companies, in order to facilitate and
expedite travel and transportation, have rcsoly-
ed to lay down narrow track, corresponding
with the roads east and west. At this some of
the short-sightcd citizens of Erie revolt, and
such dispatches as the following are flying from
thence over the wires:
There is meeting of railroad men here to-
day, 1.-THE 18th nlt.,] to decide upon the course
to be pursued with regard to the change of
guage. The military are preparing to turn out
on the call of the Mayor. A wagon load of
powder has been taken to the Armory for car
tridges. 1t is thought if there is any resistance
on the part of the Railroad Companies that the
track will he torn up the whole length of the
county, and the bridges destroyed. The peo-
pie are DESTROYS that the track should remain
as it il, but if the Railroad Companies force
them to act, there is no telling where they will
stop. Our Supreme Court have decided that
the Western Road has no law to protect it, and
the track will be torn up to the Ohio line-
Monday will probably decide the whole mat
ter.
Monday came, but no War. In fac. the Cleve-
land Herald has treason to believe. what we
suspected in the first instance that the fooii h
uproar in our sster city is limited to irrespon-
sible outsiders, who, having no real interest in
the matter at all, stand in the position of med
dlcrs and disturbers of the peace. We apprc-
bend that, in case SO plain as this, there can
be no serious difficulty" 1t is to be hoped not,
