TIE LINE CouPIErR-RoYAL ARCH.-The Ga

lena and Minnesota packet Royal Arch, has as
sumed her place in the daily line between St.
Paul and Galena, thus rendering the line COM
plete and full. She made her first appearance
here on Monday of this week, heavily laden
with freight and passengers. She is under COM
mand of Capt E. II. Glinn. known to many Of
our citizens as the former Captain of the Min
nesota and other popular boats. Capt. G. has o
high character as an accommodating and ex-
perienced bcatman, and will no doubt add
greatly to the already high reputation Of the
Packet Company. Mr.. Noah Smith is in the Of
fee, and was warmly welcomed by his hume
rous st. Paul friends. We always like to see
some one, at least, of the Smith family connected
with the packets; and if the old Captain HIM
self cannot be on hand, it is we'll enough to
send one Of the boys. The Royal Arch is a
large, roomy boat, nearly new !; and since pas
sing into the hands of the Packet Company has
been thoroughly overhauled and refitted.
Gov. German, and Messrs. Sibley, Steele,
Bailly, Ramsey, Dodd and Nobles still remain
at the Capitol.--Democrat.
We were aware that our fellow-citizens NAM
ed above, had concluded to remain at the
capital few days longer, but we had no idea
they were SO enthusiastically devoted to the
matters they are engaged in forwarding as to
remain all the while--night and day, we sup
pose--at the capitol. Wonderif they are going
it on "the cheaps," after the fashion of "Sau-
sage Sawyer" But these types wiH make an
noyances and nonsense sometimes, and there is
no keeping them straight, even in the best reg
ulated offices.
Tue CRYSTAL PALAcE.--We could find nothing
more interesting and national in our exchanges
wherewith to fill up our first page this week,
than the "resurrectng" circulars from the pre-
sent efficient head Of the Crystal Palace Associ-
alton. A great proportion of this country and
Europe hold the idea that Barnum is "hum-
bug'-but humbug" or not, he is a man of
success in everything and if be succeed in his
present Herculean task, this nation, and the
world at large, will profit alone, and not the
great humbugger" himself: We hope he may
have-and We feel sure he will-complete sue
cess in playing out this last "humbug" of his,
and that its acts will be many ages. Barnum
commences the management of the Palace at
the right end of the ropes. He is sending free
tickets to all the editors in the country. Say
what you will about being influenced by such
small attentions, it is the proper spring to
touch, and Barnum knows how to touch it as
well as the next one.
THE Doctor FRANKLrN.-We learn that the
Packet COmnaDv have mt tho nr Frop in
again into the regular line, under the command
of Capt P. Lodwick, who was master of her
last year, and who was general favorite on
the river. He came up on the Royal Arch, in
good health, and his friends were all glad to see
him. The "Old Doctor" under his manage
ment, will do her duty, and no mistake.-Ga-
lena lido.
To be sure she will There has never been a
gentleman connected with the trade whom our
people will be more rejoiced to welcome back
than Pres. Lodwick. The Company have been
wise in allowing us an opportunity to do "that
same thing" They found the business of the
line could not be got on with by running only
four boats, so they had to call the faithful "Old
Doctor" to the rescue and in doing so, who
should command her but her old Captain of last
year? That suits US!
| The Minnesota Belle was unable to ascend
higher than Little Rapids on the Minnesota riv-
Grinding only two feet water at that point. She
leaves to-day for St. Louis, taking down the
company of dragons recently stationed at Fort
Smelling, en- route for New Mexico.
The prospect at Washington Of throwing
open the Sioux halfbrecd tract to settlement,
is now aattering.
THEY KEEP COMING THE following is from
the last number of the Adrian (Mich.) Expos
| itor:
"WEsTwARD, Ho!-A company of sixteen
families, numbering some sixty souls, under the
lead of Allen Chatfee, Esq, one of our old set
tiers, left yesterday for Minnesota, for perma-
nent settlement. We believe they are all in
dustrious men and women and will give good
account of themselves on the rich soil of the
! Northwest"
! POSITION OF THE REPuBLrcANs.-The present
aspect of affairs in Europe, has placed the lead.

position anything but favorable to the attain.
ment just now, of their great object. Austria
siding as she does with the Western Powers
and against Russia, renders it the duty Of
France and England to maintain the present
order of things in Italy and Hungary. Hence
We find that Mazzini and Kossuth are rather in
a quandary what course to pursue. A short
time since, they were engaged in condoling
feasting and toasting Geo. N. Sanders on &C.
count of his rejection as Consul to London by the
U. S. Senate, as a rebuke for his interference in
European politics. Since then, it appears MAJ
zini has turned on-interventionst. In a re-
cent address to the people of England, he takes
the following ground -
England has taken up arms with great re
luctance; she cannot she must not lay them
down. until series of propositions have been
solemnly adopted by all the European Powers
as foundation for all future international
transactions; and the first of all these should
be: No Power shall ever interfere, except by
peaceful and friendly advice, with another PEG
