communication shall be looked upon as a matte
too unimportant for consideration.
We have but a single objection to the openin,

making laudatory mention of those routes of
Northern travel which appear to possess peeu-
mar advantages, and among these no one has
Impressed US more favorably that that of the
Michigan, Southern and Northern Indiana
railroad, connecting with the river travel.
And it appears to have occurred to the minds of
the travelling public much in the same light as

Through tickets for Northern destinations can
be purchased at the Office of the company under
the St. Charles Hotel, at rates rather astonish-

standing. Add to this the facts that the numer-
GUS steamers running in connection whit his line
are all of the first class, whose time can be
to within few hours, and that the
happy idea has been adopted Of making the
