IL All the mighty energy exhibited in St
Louis in behalf Of the North Missouri Railroad
results from a fear that the trade Of Northern
Missouri will be diverted east through the Han.
nibal and St. Joseph Railroad. The North
Missouri road will not prevent this result in any
considerable degree, until St. Louis connects
herself with the Southern markets by railroad
Ii Is therefore her interest 70 push forward a!
rapidly as possible, the stupendOus undertaking
Of railroad from Louisiana TO Minnesota.

leave in dctachments. The Mississippi
aud Allegheny will leave Norfolk on the
first of December. The Princeton will
follow in few weeks The Vern ont

part as soon as their complement o.
seamen can be shipped. The delay in
the departure Of this important expodi-

CuR Gus EXPERIMENT The New
Go.k Tribune states thai curious re-
suits are obtained in that city from Il
very simple application Of the nervous
fluid, animal magnetism, or whatever
be The agency, TO brute matter. Let Il
party Of six or eight persons sit around
a common pine table for twenty minu-
ties 10 half an hour, with the palms Of
the hands held fiat on the top Of the
table 1t is not necessary that their
minds should pay any attention to the
process, or the ordinary conversation be
suspended; but presently the table be-
comes so charged with the mysterious
fluid that il begins to move; than rise
from it, push away your chairs, still
holding your hands near, though I, is
not necessary 10 touch it, and ii will
turn around from end TO end, and even
proceed rapidly about the room, with
out any visible agent, on which ex-
cursions The persons must bear IL CON-
pany, or the current is broken aud the
movement stops. This simple exper
ment may easily be rird it requires
no faith and no ouley Of physical or
moral strength and the result, with
table that is not too heavy, is pretty
sure to follow. The fact, when scten-
tiically established, must throw light
