Steamboat destroyed by Fire-Fivs Lives
I.ost--sIniis burned up--Frsight To-
tai Loss,

Yesterday morning, about one o'clock
the steamboat Galena, while lying at the
Red Wing landing. awaiting the arrival of
passengers, was discovered TO be on FIRE.
Capt. LAuGHroS, who was on deck at the
time first noticed the fire about the smoke
stacks; he descended below, and saw a
great portion of the cabin deck, about the
stack. in blaze. Energetic and vigorous
efforts were made to extinguish the flames,
but they were Of no avail, and in few min
utes, the steamer was burned TO the water 5
edge.
As soon as the alarm OF fire was raised
the passengers who were asleep, were awak-
ened. All the cabin and deck passengers
made their escape 10 the shore, with the
exception OF family named PORTER cabin
passengers) and a boy named Tyson, deck
passenger.
From the time the first alarm was given.
five minutes did not elape until the entire
boat was developed in flames. Most of the
passengers who escaped, did so 10 their night
dresses.
There were about seyenty-iive cabin pas
scngcrs, aud twenty-five deck passengers on
the Galena, at the time of the disaster.
The baggage Of the passengers was entirely
lost.
There was not much freight on the boat
but what there was, was entirely destroyed.
One of the greatest Inconvenience our
citizens will suffer is from the fac. that the
L. 5. Mail for this city and State, was en-
trely destroyed by the FIRE.
The Porter family lost their lives by
drowning, it is presumed, in a vain endeav-
or to reach the shore. They were cabin
passengers from Michigan en- route, TO Man
ka,o. Mis- PORTER, abou, Z years of age
was the only one OF the family rescued
from the boat Tyson. the boy drowned
was Norwegian emigrant.
The Galena was bull, in 1853. She COS,
$4,000. There was no insurance upon her
at the time OF the fire.
The following particulars are extracted
rom our yesterdays extra:
