Interesting Letter from St. Louis.

gentleman in this city, who has received a letter from friend in St. Louis, has favored us with the annexed deeply interesting extracts.
 ST. LoUIs, January Doth, 1862 ;,
 We have had no mails for two days, as the ice prevents boats from crossing the river. l have been assessed Sl Q by the Provost Marshal, as my ro rata towards supporting the south western union refugees. I shall not pay except at t',e point oi the bavonet. Some seventy other srcessioGists were assessed in sums Of $l00 to S5D0 each. Only three have paid-the others protesting not talk ing any notice Seven days tune were given Us to pay in, or prove our loyaity but no christian usan can take the oath without perluring hmse I, Swearing to sustain the constitution and the gov ernment whereas the one IS opposed to the other J | decline taking the oath The constitution ex- pressly declares, that no one shall be deprived oi nroDerty or liberty except after fair trial by jury. The government, through it's tools. declares rle assessed, and takes my property without charges against me. How, then, can l swear to support God and Mammon?
 But fear have already written enough to pre- vent my letter going through to you, though hope the censor who may read this will sec that my in telligence is personal, not political.
 I am rusting out here--only earning about S5 per day; but living is cheap: houses SIP to $ , per month. that formerly brought $50; stores $25 to S30 that formerly rented fol 8 GOO per annum; landlords often beg tenants to remain free of rent, in prefence to having vacated property. Produce is cheap--bacon &c.,, for clear sides, and %. for shoulders; flour S3 25 @ $4; corn 34c.; oats 32c i; potatoes BOG. whisky l7c.; wheat Csc. some art- cles high--sugar Il @ l2c; coffee 22 c 25c.
 My son is with the southern army at Bowling Green, Kentucky, but have not heard from him for several months. Our nephews are all in the army III Virginia. but can not hear from them
 About 500 rebels are imprisoned in McDowells $ Medical College. They were attempting to reach Prices army. They are under guard of an Iowa regiment, commanded by Col. Baker, The prso- ners seem to be in good spirits, and wave ther hands at all good rebels who pass near them. They are permitted to receive clothing, etc., from the citizens, and assure you that there is stream of good things always going into the college prison.
 We anxiou-ly await the day when the southern army will free us from present unfortunate condition. Ten thousand are ready, at any mo ment, to rise up in .St. Louis, if friends only approach near enough to give us the chance.

ANOTHER RAILROAD SCHEME IN CoN- GREss.-We learn that another railroad scheme has been proposed to the military committee of Congress for the completion, as "a military necessity" of the Memphis and Little Rock railroad, beginning on the west bank of the Mississippi river at Hope feld immediately opposite the city ofMem- phis, and terminating at Little Rock in the State of Arkansas.
 The proposition of the company is for an advance of half a million of dollars in Con- federate bonds, which they propose to se- cure by an equal amount of their own bonds, and to redeem the advance with in two years, giving such personal security therefor as may be approved by the secre- tary of war. The condition of the advance is to be that the road shall be completed by the first day of july next.
 It is claimed that this road is very im- portant to the Confederate Government, in view of the vast saving both in time and cost, of transportation of troops and muni- tions of war to northern Aarkansas and Missouri.
 The road is finished and in operation from the Mississippi river to the St. Francis, a distance of forty miles, including the bridge across the St. Frahcis river.
 On the middle division of the road, be- tween the St. Francis and White rivers, a distance of forty-fve miles, the heaviest part of the grading is done and large quantity of cross-ties, and iron for fifteen miles of the road are on hand, leaving 8 deficit in iron of two thousand five hundred tons, which 1t is believed, can be obtained from other roads upon which the work has been suspended in consequence of the war;
