American Railway il res. J North Missouri Kailroad. Below we give the Aggregate estimate of the several divisions of the North Missouri Railroad as reported by the committee appointed to examine i to and report upon the condition of the various railroad companies in the State of Missouri ; and also a synoptic statement of the subscription and State credit to the North Missouri Railroad Company, showing the condition and resources of the company. The estimate of the first division, from St, Louis to St. Charles, a instance oi l'J 1 o miles, at $40,868 43 nermile is 8784,673 90. The second division from St. Charles to the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad, a distance of 147 97-100 miles, at $29,006 37 per mile is 4,144,102 35. The third division, from the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad to the State line, a distance of 61 45-100 miles, at 51,724 20 per mile, is $3, 178,551 85 making the grand total for the whole line, a distance of 228-42-100 miles, of 8,107,328 05. . The first division, as you are aware, is finished, and is said to be paying a good per cent It now becomes the duty of the company to complete the second division as soon as possible, which we have no doubt will be done very nearly according trjeontract. . We see, from the above, that the estimate of the cost of the second division is $4,144,102 35. We understand the Railroad Bill has passed both houses of the Legislature, notwithstanding the Governor's veto. This Bill gives to the North Missouri Railroad $2,000,000, of which $1,000,000 is left in the hands of the Governor to purchase Iron and Rolling stock for the second division of the Road when needed, the same remaining the property of the State until put upon the Road. The balance cannot be reached until the Company gives evidence to the Governor of investment of the amount of bonds previously granted by the State. The completion of the Road, we consider is now beyond a doubt, as you will see from tjiis, and statements to be found in another column. Missouri Ledger. Is a Universalis a Competent Witness? Some time since, in a trial at Jackson (N. C.) Superior Court, before Judge Manly, his Honor held that a person professing the doctrines of Universalism was an incompetent witness in our Courts, and in accordance with that decision, ruled out two or three witnesses. The decision gave rise to some feeling of indignation among those who profess the doctrines of the Universalist church, and from the subjoined extract of a report of the proceedings of the State Convention of the professors of this creed, it will be seen that the attempt is to be made to test the validity of the decision in a higher tribunal. At a.meeting of the North Carolina State Convention of Universalists, held at Red Hill Church, Sampson county, Oct. 18th and 19th, the following resolution was passed : Whereas, we have learned with surprise and regret through the public press, that His Honor Judge Manly, at the last Superior Courtof Jackson, N. C, decided that Universalists are not competent witnesses in a court of justice; and whereas we believe such a decision is not only a flagrant outrage upon this increasing and respectable denomination of Christians called Universalists, but unconstitutional and inimical to this republican government. Resolved, That this Convention proceed forthwith to take such measures as they may deem expedient to have their claims and civil rights protected in this our boasted land of civil and religious liberty. For the benefit of those who do not understand our Faith, we insert our Articles of Belief: "We believe that the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament contain a revelation of the character of God, and of the duty, interest, and final destination of mankind. We believe there is one God, whose nature is love, revealed in our Lord Jesus Christ by one Holy Spirit of Grace, who will finally restore the whole family of mankind to holiness and true happiness. We believe that holiness and true happiness are inseparably connected, and that believers ought to maintain oirler and practice irood works, for these things are good and profitable unto men. Haven, Monday Dec. 24, 1055. The British Ship Resolute, abandoned in the Arctic Ice, was brought by Capt. Budington into the port of New London yesterday, with all her armaments, stores and equipments on board. She is a new and handsome vessel and worth $10J,000. When found, she had drilled over 1,000 miles from the place where she was abandoned. An effort will be made to bring her into this port. N. Y. Tribune.

A rather extraordinary charge has been delivered to the Grand Jury in Dublin, by Mr. Chief Justice Crampton, in relation to the burning of Bibles, with which one Father Petcherin, of the order of Redemplorists, has been recently accused, in Ireland. The Chief Justice lays down (he law against profaning the Bible in stronger terms than were probably ever employed by any English Judge before. Ho holds 1st. And for this he quotes authorities, that the Christian Religion is part of the law of England. 2d. That the Bible is the foundation of this religion, and anything calculated to bring that volume into ridicule or contempt, whether it be in English, Latin, Greek or Hebrew, and whether it be the "authorized" or Douay version, is an offence punishable at common law hv fino anH imprisonment. He concluded by charging the Jury that, if they found cither of the parties charged, to have been guilty of participating in the act of burning the Bibles, with the view of holding the Holy Book up to scorn and contempt, they should find a true bill against them, and send them to a petty jury for trial. After a short absence, the Grand Jury returned with indictments against Petcherin and John Hamilton, and their trial was set down for the followiug Friday. The Franking Privilege. Our present Postmaster-General, in view of the deficiency of the post-office revenue, has made one strong effort to have the rates of postage raised both on letters and on newspapers, and will very probably make another. The Journal of Commerce says, that, up to the present time, the Postmaster-General has never been at the trouble to state what amount of "free" government mail matter is sent in the mails; and, until called for by a resolution of the House, and furnished by Mr. Barrett, the Washington City Postmaster, there had been no official information on the subject since the administration commenced. Mr. Barrett's report shows the postage on "free" matter, if reckoned at ordinary rates, to be $1,468,884, going outward from the Washington City Postoffice. Mr. Hall, Postmaster-General in 1851, estimated the amount outwardly and inwardly at the Washington City Postoffice to be $2,120,410 a year. From these statements, the Postoffice Committee in the House of Representatives estimate two millions and a half for the Government and Congressional franked matter yearly. Now, let Congress, instead of raising the postage, either abolish the franking privilege altogether or appropriate at once and regularly from the Treasury a sufficient amount of franked matter. As for th increase of postage, the people will listen to no such thing. jESTThe friends of Rev. J. C. Fletcher will be glad to learn that he has safely arrived in Europe, on his way to the United States from Brazil. We have a line from him dated Montreaux, Switzerland, Dec. 2. A7! Y. Journ. of Commerce. A too zealous Newfoundland Dog The "Bayonne Messenger" relates that Capt. Lhotellierof the schooner Maria'Ella, of St. Brienne, at anchor in the former port, was bathing in the Adour. Being a vigorous and expert swimmer, he had gone a considerable distance from his vessel, when he was perceived by a Newfoundland dog belonging to the captain of the ship La Perlc. "impelled by tho animal instinct which characterizes that breed of animals, the Newfoundland takes the swimmer for a drowning man, and with a view to save him, leaps, from the deck, swims with vigor towards Capt. Lhotollier. whom he soon reaches, and into whose shoulders he plunges his long and white teeth. a ..,T f nnin is drawn from the swimmer, who nlnncres to o-et rid of his dangerous savior. Dow croesthc dosr after him and seizes him at the small of the back. The same operation is repeated six times, and six times does tlrtPdog pursue under the water, the man who endeavors to escape. The captain was in great danger, but his cries were luckily heard by a workman in the shipyard, who jumped into a boat and rescued the swimmer, when the dog. happy to see another nerform the task whtcli lie nau imu iui mm self, quietly regained his ship.

Mr. Editor: I wish to call the attention of the friends of temperance in our city, to the great importance of a united effort in staying the tide of drunkenness, which lias so recently been let loose anew upon us by the decision of our Supreme Court. We had hoped that in the adoption of our glorious Prohibitory Liquor Law that the mission of tho Sons of Temperance was fulfilled, so far as our State was concerned. But to our regret, the battle has to be fought again, and in the strength of God, we intend to fight, until we shall place upon our Statute books, a Law, which no designing political demigogical Judges can set at naught. i But my object in this communication is to stir up old Sons of Temperance to the importance of our organization. , We are initiating quite a number of young men and ladies every evening, (God bless the ladies for they are all on our side.) But old Sons, we need your council and co-operation. Will you come to the rescue? On next Wednesday evening, Jan. 2d, there will be a public insulatiun of t.'m nfflppw of w-i:0 - 2mioiu, im. iv, at their Hall, to which the public are respectfully invited to witness.
