NOrth Missouri Railroad

We take the following paragraphs from
long letter to Gov. Sterling Price from j. ii.
Sturgeon, ofSt Louis, advocating the extern
sion of further aid by tile State of Missouri
to the Railroads of that State and especially
advocating and enforcing the mportan &c of
fastening the completion of the n. NJ. to the
State line and its extension to Ottumwa.
have not shadow Of doubt about the
North Missouri road being able to pay inter
est on the credit granted to it, if completed
to Iowa; and with your branch, which will be
50 valuable feeder to it. Can any one
doubt this VINO will stop to investigate the
matter! Take map showing Iowa and
Missouri. Begin at ST. Louis, and trace the
line of the North Missouri First, we come
to your branch running of to the Missouri
river, only forty miles long, and down our
road it will pour, the year round, stream of
freight and passengers Next, we come to
the Hannibal and ST. Joseph road 20S miles
long River navigation closes about the 1st
December. The hogs and other stock and
produce are at this season made ready for
shipping, and from East and West it will
pour in a stream of trade that must pass
over the North Missouri road. We have
reached the junction with the Hannibal and
st. Joseph road, and sixty -one miles more
carries us to the South boundary line of the
State of Iowa, where, with outstreached arms
the people of Iowa stand welcoming us to a
union with their roads.
Two committees have come all the way
from Iowa, at different times, to learn when
and where we would strike the boundary
line, as they wish to commence work to carry
our road on through their State thirty one
miles, where it will reach Ottumwa In this
short distance, our road would intersect two
railroads in Iowa, and put us in connection
with road leading to the capital of the State
in fact, with the whole railroad system Of
Iowa. This would give ST. Louis the whole
trade of Southern and Western Iowa. This
is their natural market. In the fall season
of the year W hen all that is raised is got
ready for market, the lakes are closed with
ice, or unsafe for navigation and the Eastern
cannot be reached under trip by railroad of
over one thousand miles, whilst from Ottum-
wa, in Iowa, to st. Louis it is only two hun
dred and sixty miles, from which point at
al seasons of the year there is an outlet
Here would be sold their products, and from
this place would goal of their sugars, coffees
and other groceries, and the iron wares that
they would have to Use. Can any one doubt
that this road will pay when completed to
Iowa, with such streams of trade and travel
to sustain it. DO not ask us why We now
fail to pay our interest The reason has al
ready been given-simply because we ex-
hausted all the means at command in bull
ding the road to the junction, in struggling
to reach points that would enable us to
earn something Missouri Republican.

KANSAS SEAT OF GOvERNMENT.-The
seat of government for Kansas was original
ly fixed at Lecompton. Subsequently the
Legislature of the Territory, passed law
over the Governors veto changing the seat to
Mnneola. Attorney General Black, having
had his attention called officially to the sub
iect, has decided that the act of the Legisla-
ture is void, on the ground that the seat OF
government having been established at Le-
compton, and Congress having voted mon
ey to erect the necessary public buildings at
that place, said change now would bain vio-
lation of the act ofCongress, and fraud up
on the United States.

Late From Kansas,

There are serious difficulties again at Fort
Scott. a delegation from there waited ON
Gov. Medary, on the 10Th of December, rep
resentlng that on Thursday morning last, at
an early hour Capt. Montgomery, at the head
OF about 100 men, marched into Fort Scott.
with all the paraphernalia of war, including
howitzer, formerly used in this place. That
they first released Mr.. Rice, who had for
merly acted under Montgomery, but has
recently been convicted of theft and murder
and was then in custody therefor. He was
set free on the ground that those old charges
were bygones, and none of his party should
suffer for offences committed, while they
were in state of open warfare, upon their
pro-slavery enemies. Thus far, their action
may be justitiable, but our informers state
that the party Immediately commenced firing
upon store occupied by Deputy Marshal
Little, who was wounded last summer by
Montgomery's men, when they were attacked
by U. s. troops under Capt Anderson
The father Of this yaung Little was men,
Der of the Lecompton Constitutional Con
vention-a hot pro-slavery partisan-and has
always been identified in our difficulties -
Mr.. Little was shot dead at one of the first
fires through the window, and it is stated
that his body wsa dragged from the store.
when the party entered and helped them
selves to the most valuable contents, taking
in all several thousand dollars. Other shots
were fired by both parties and several were
wounded. Such is the substance of their
narrative.
The Governor, having been only two days
at his post, was not prepared to decide upon
course of action, but would do so shortly.
The report was regarded as Erparte against
Montgomery.
Russell, Majors and Waddcll, contractors
in the Mormon war have done business to the
amount of 81, 800, $50, and have cleared over
a million and half of dollars, pretty well for
one year. su' ..E -.a

the public to this vllubls specific, docs so with
a feeling Of the utmost confidence in its viz
tues and adaptation to the diseases for which
it is recommended. 1t is no quack arti-
Gle, but one that has stood the criticism of the
American press and people. The testimony
given in its favor; by the most eminent and
well known prosperous and private individu-
