WEALTH.-The gain of money is not the
only nor true wealth. Fires may burn it,
the floods drown it, the winds may blow it
away the moth may eat it, the rust waste
it, and the robber make it his prey. Men
are worried at the toll of getting it, but they
leave 1t behind at last They die and carry
nothing away. The soul of the richest prince
of earth goeth forth like that of the wayside
beggar, without garment. Those who pos
sess it are always praised by men, but do
they receive the praise of God?

ELEGANT STOCK Of DRY GOODS
ATT
WILSON & C00PER'S
ONE PRICE CASH STDlSE,

81. LOUIS. NO.
TN addressing the ladies of asgow and surround
L ing country this season, we would respectfully
thank them for past favOrs, and trust that our
New Stock and New System
crease their already liberal patronage.
Our New Stock consists as usual, of every va
riety of
FANCY and STAPLE DRY GOODS,
carefully selected for our own trade, and amply
sufficient to meet the requirements of
Fashion, Good Taste and Utility
Our New SYSTEM consists of several features
peculiar TO our establishment-for instance, our
goods all mrrked in plain figures, from which
there is positively no dbdttmeEt, so that even a
child may purchase with perfect security.
Our clerks are invariably obliging and att, ntive;
the annoying system of of mportuning and mis-
representing the quality of goods is strictly dis
counteuanced. In order TO sell the largeet amount
at the lowest rates, we sell exclusively for cash
so tbatno house within the wide limits of the Mis-
sissppi Valley can possibly undersell us.
So far our peculiar system works admirably,
begetting confidence, lessening business expenses,
and rapidly building up first class popular es-
tablishment, where ladies vis ing st. Louis may
at all times find the largest assortment of
New, FASHIONABLE, AND DOMESTIC Day GooDs,
at the Lowest cas- prices.

in Address to The difere1 Counties on the
ttae Of he .No,M Missouri Railroad.

I'm Address TO The difcrent Counties on The
tme Of tie yNo'M Missouri Ra,troad.
GESTLEMEN:--It is the wish of the Di-
rectors OF this Company 10 complete the
North Missouri Railroad at the earliest day
the means Of the company will admit Of 10
the Iowa State line, but especially is il de-
sirable that it should be completed to lis
junction with the Hannibal and ST. Joseph
railroad by or near the time, that the last
named road is finished 10 the junction,
which | am informed will be about the first
Of next July. This company has not yet
sufficient means TO enable it 10 build the
road to its junction with the Hannibal and
81. Joseph railroad.
The estimated cost Of The whole road TO
the Iowa State line is, as you perhaps have
seen from our annual report, 1864 800
80. This does not include the discount Oh
State bonds and the interest paid OH them,
whilst The road is in course of construction
and not earning any thing. | estimate that
these two last Items and other contingent
ces viii in all probability increase the cost
OF the road over the above mentioned sum
100000.
The estimated cost Of our road to the Han
ni6al and St. Joseph Railroad, exclusive of
interest and discount, and the rolling stock
required for this portion Of the road, is &c.
Ol2,5oS,70. The proportion Of rolling
stock required to equip this portion of the
road Ieslimate $450000, and the interest
paid and 10 be paid on State bonds during
The construction Of This portion OF the road.
and the discount on same and other bonds,
will amount 10 not less than $3.50 co.,
From this it will appear that the road, when
completed 10 the Hannibal and St. Joseph
Railroad, distance of one hundred and
sixty-eight miles, will cost 81 ,0l2 ,50S 20.
The means Of the Company applicable 10
The construction Of This portion of the road
are as follows: 3D..

The News-Exci.ing Times,


The mail of yesterday brings continu-
alton of the exciting news from Washington.
The bold front displayed by Senators Wade
and Wilson, on the 2Sth, in their places in
the Senate, has further excited the ire OF
the South Carolina cut-throats, and Brooks
appears to be after the blood of Senator
Wilson. By the following it will be seen
that the Massachusetts, Shoemaker" as
he is sneerinsly called by the slaye-drivers,
is ready for the Carolina ruffian:
WASHINGTON, May 30.
Gen. Lane, of Oregon, was the bearer of
the challenge from Preston Brooks to Sem
ator Wilson. The latter replied that lie
used the language complained of because he
at that time believed, and now believes, it
was strictly true, and denounced the char
acter of the assault on Mr.. Sumner. He
also says he is no duelist, and that he will
use whatever language he thinks proper in
debate, and if assaulted for doing SO he
knows how to defend himself Mr. Brooks
has given notice to Gen. Webb, through Mr..
Aiken, that his letter in Tuesdays Courier
and Enquirer is satisfactory.
Senator Wilson had engaged to speak that
same night at Trenton, NJ, and was escort
ed to the cars by abody of his friends-all
well armed.
Mr.. Sumner continued to improve.
The Special Committee in Brooks's case
were to report yesterday, and recommend
his expulsion from the House. They will
also recommend vote of censure on Messrs
Keitt and Edmondson. The minority will
report that the assault upon Mr.. Sumner in
volved no violltion of he-privileges of the
constitution, and that outside Congress has
no privil 'ges.

TREATY WITH PERsIA.-The CONSTANT
nople correspondent of the London Times
speaking in reference to the treaty between
the United States and Persia, says it was
concluded under the auspices of Russia, and
is directed against England. 1t pretenGs to
be commercial treaty, and would be but for
three articles. The first says that Pers' "a
not being a'maritime nation, the Americans
will be obliged, for advantages which the
treaty grants their commerce, to have a
: feet in the Persian Gulf in order to defend
Persia against enterprises of any maritime
nation whatever which should attack her.
The second gives America the right to have
her ships of war in the Straits of Marat and
at the mouth of the Tigris; and the third
allows them to have factory at Pariah.
e. The annual earnings of the several
lines of Railroads that connect at Cficasc
with New York City exceed S25,GOO,OOc.
This fact, taken in connection with tie vast
amount of produce and merchandise trans
ported between the two points by waite
carriage, conveys some tolerable idea of the
resources of the Great West. But these
have just began to be developed.
