Loss Of the steamer Nominee.

The War Eagle brings news that the steamer
Nominee, on her trip up, struck snag short
distance above Lansing, and went to the bot
tom in thirteen feet water in three minutes
She is total wreck and a total loss, with the
probable exception Of the machinery and cabin
furniture. Al the time of the accident she had
on board q large number Of passengers, none Of
whom met with any accident. A span Of horses
belonging to an emigrant wcre lost. The freight
was mostly in q barge, which was saved.
The War Eagle, which left Galcna two days
after the Nominee, came alongside the next day
after the accident, and took charge Of the freight
and passengers. The Nominee was an old boat,
aud We have learned il was the intention of the
Company not to run her after this season. She
was built at Pittsburgh, and mad. her first APP
pcarancc i'll the steamboat world in August,
1918. In the winter Of 1880, she was pur-
chased by the Galena Packet Company, and
has been faithful servant in these waters ever
since. The bones of the old Nominee will be
rcvercd Ivy many passing friend who may
chance to journey by the place Of their final
rcposc.
The accident occurred to the Nominee about
halfpast four O'Clock on Thursday morning.

New YORK, Oct, III,

The Arctic was lost off Cape Race on the
9th. She ran in collision with an unknown
Propeller. Only 81 known to be saved Is
have arrived here.
Among the lost are Capt Luce, Mrs. +. X.
Collins and family.
The Arctic came in collision with the Pro-
pellcr at noon on the 18th, about 40 miles off
Cape Race, i'll u dense fog. The speed of the
Attic at the time was about Is miles an hour :
and the Propeller had AL sails set. with strong
fair wind. II was supposed at first that the Arc
tic had sustained little injury. Assistance was
Immediately rendered to the Propeller, which
was frishItully injured: but it was soon dis
covered that the Arctic was leaking fast and
the water gained 80 rapidly that the fires were
soon cNtingushcd. Every effort was tried to
save those Oh the Arctic; but as four or five
boats had left to render assistance to the Pro-
pcllcr, and there was Only one left, which S
soon filed and Il raft was hastily constructed.
Apanic took possession OF those on board the
Arctic, and they crowded for the after part of
the boat. \ number reached the raft while
others were drowned in the attempt. All this
time the vessel was filling fast, and of a sudden,
with all remaining on board was engultrd in
the sea.
All those On the raft except one who clung
to it for - hours, were drowned. At ) o.
clock on the 10Th the barque Huron hove in

to reach shallow water before the flames had

The after part of the boat swung around in

THE MINI ES0 TIA N
SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER IA. 1854
A New Line Of Packets.

The Democrat strikes in for new line Of
steamboats, between st. Paul and Dubuque.
This is matter for serious consideration after
the close of navigation. We hope then to find
q hearty cooperation between the people of ST.
Paul and Dubuque upon the subject.-not on
paper only, as heretofore, but by substantial
acts.
Next year the Illinois Central Railroad VIII
he opened throughout its entire extent. FROM
Cairo to Dubuque will be run of only some
fourteen hours This will, with line Of fast
steamers, bring travellers from the mouth OF
the Ohio river to St. Paul in about forty-four
hours, and from Chicago in eight hours less
time. The Galena packets have answered us
well. and we have no i'll feeling toward their
enterprising proprietors in proposing an adai-
tional line. But Galena will not be point OF
imnortance in connection with ST. Paul and
Minnesota generally after this season We will
have no further need to wind around through
sundry sloughs to get to Galena, when we can
take the cars at Dunlieth, opposite Dubuque.
1t is the fate of Galena hereafter to he OF less
importance than she has heretofore been i'll bust
ness connections with the upper country, and
sorry are we for it. But nature and the rail-
roads have done the work for her, and neither
she nor we can help it,
We hope the people of Dubuque and 81. Paul,
and all others interested will be moving i'll this
steamboat matter speedily. From what We
can gather, the feeling at this end Of the route
is ripe for the enterprise

And so she took her tea alone,
And cleared the things away.

The supper hour was U'er,
Indifference In her calm smile dwelt-'
She closed the pantry door:
The table -cloth hath passed away
No dishes could he see.
She met him. and her words were gay
She never spoke OF tea!
H. came too late The subtle chords
Or patience were unbound
Not by offence Of spoken WORKS,
But by the sights that wound.
She knew he could say nothing how
That could the past repay;
She babe him 60 and milk the COW,
And co!dly turned awayl
lie came too late! The fragrant steam
Vi tea had long since flown,
The flies had fallen in the cream,
The bread was cold a. stone.
Aud when, with word and smile he tried
His hungry state to prove,
She nervcd her cart with woman's pride,
And never dcigned to move!
