Black Writing Ink.
Manufacture Established
The quality of this Ink has been tested for moke than forty years. During this
time it has constantly increased in public favor and patronage, and is now the leading
article in the country. The Proprietors armex a few of many Tertimonials received
from parties who have used it for more than a quarter of a century, and whose
opportunity and qualifications for judging correctly of its merits will not be ques-
tioned:
Messrs. Maynabd & Noyes.—Gents:—I am glad that longer use of your Writing Ink enables me to
repeat the testimony given in its favor many years ago. I have used it in this Office tliirty-seven years, and
tcordt are at legible and black a* when firtt written. This rare quality for permanence renders it
invaluable for State and County Records, and all mercantile purposes where it is important that the writing
should remain legible and unchanged in color by the lapse of time.
Messrs. Maynard & Noyes.—Gent*.—I have used your Ink in the Writing Department of this School
the past thirty years, and take great pleasure in renewing my testimonial of its superior quality. It flows
freely from the pen ; its color is brilliant and permanent; and it-combines all the necessary and desirable
qualities of good ink.
The following extract of a letter from a well known and long-established Bookseller in
opinion, ai:d correspond with the experience, of a large number in the business:
After trying various kinds of Ink, most of my customers come back to yours. I am tired of the misera-
ble compounds offered every little while, pretending to be superior to all other Inks, and will have nothing
further to do with them. I have used your Ink on my books over twenty-six years, atid my customers can
ee how it stands against time. Entries made in
The following Testimonial from Dr. Chilton is added as a scpflement to any of his
previous tests:
From experiments instituted by me, in
ly satisfied that Haynard A Noyes' Writing Ink is entitled to the pre-eminence it has always sustained for
HoiBiUty and towanexck of color.
The above popular Ink, together with Blue, Jied, Carmine and Cojting Ink

Attention Paid To Hanging And Decorating'
Kennedy'S
Book & Job Printing Office.
Particular Attention Given To Card And Mercantile Printing, Generally.
In presenting the present volume of the St. Lous General asp Bisinepsi Dikectohy, the pub-
lishers take peculiar pleasure in pointing to the unerring evidence of City prosperity which is indicated
by the large increase in names, compared with the last volume. That volume, published less than twenty
months ago, contains about twenty-nine thousand names—the present embraces, as near as wc can cal-
culate, without an actual count, about forty-eight thousand!
This is a most gratifying result to every citizen and every friend of
practically, to exhibit the amazing progress of our business prosperity, than nil the statistics that have
ever been published.
From the results obtained by oar recent canvass, we do not hesitate to gay, that the population of St.
Louis, at this day (were a correct census to be taken), would be found to amount to one hundred and
ninety thousand souls—a conclusion we deduce from the following premises :—
The names in the Directory represent, only, the heads of families, and the adult male population.
From the experience of competent parties, we learn that the average estimate of the population of
Eastern cities, as compared to names in the Directory, is as one to six, or seven. In the West, allowing
for the larger proportion of siuglc males, a fair average would be as one to four. This test would prove
the present population of St, Louis to be one hundred anu ninety-two thousand !
That we present, in this volume, a full and complete list of the names of all citizens, we do not
pretend to claim, as the utter impossibility of obtaining all the names that should appear in a Directory,
is too apparent to every intelligent reader to need any explanation here. The utmost care has, however,
been exercised to make the work complete and accurate ; nevertheless, we entertain no donbt that many
omissions have occurred ; and in the names returned, it would be alike wonderful if some errors had not
crept in, when it is considered through how many hands they must necessarily pass, before they appear
in their present shape before the public.
We are painfully conscious that some few errors have thus escaped detection ; but we have made
the only amends that lay in our power, by reprinting them under the head of " Alterations, Corrections
&c.," p. 14.
It is scarcely necessary to say that we Hincerely regret such errors ; at the same time, we think we
hazard nothing in the assertion, that the present is the best and most complete Directory ever issued in the
city of
The canvass and compilation have been conducted wholly by Messrs. Tanner, Halpin &
men of large experience in their line of business ; and we have every reason to believe that they have
performed their duty with the utmost-fidelity.
In this volume will be noticed several valuable improvements, in matter and arrangement. The Co-
partnership Directory, given in connection with the names of firms—the Business Mikror, exhibiting
fully the Mercantile, Manufacturing and Professional classes of the city, arranged under eight bundled
different classifications—the Appendix, containing a larger amount of useful information, of its kind, than
has ever befure been presented to our citizens—the Indices, to be found on pp. 6, 9 and 628 the use of
which will greatly facilitate a reference to the contents of the work.
We take great pleasure, also, in presenting to our subscribers a new and complete sectional Mat- of
the City, with Street Directory, drawn and engraved expressly for this work, by Mr. Alex. McLean,
which will be found the most complete and useful Map or
In the Advertising pages, the leading mercantile and manufacturing houses of the city will be found
represented. For the liberality with which this department of our enterprise has been supported by the
oldest, most respectable and inlluential of our business men, we cannot sufficiently express our acknow-
ledgements. Our earnest desire has been to produce a work worthy of the interest manifested towards it
by the community at large, and make it a faithful reflex of the business enterprise and commercial great-
ness of
ambition, in every succeeding annual issue, to introduce such improvements as shall render it stilt more
necessary and useful to its patrons, and an indispensable guide to citizens and strangers.

Notices Of The Press
On The Forthcoming Work,
The Great West,
And
Her Commercial Metropolis,
Tliis is the title of a new work now in press, which, on its completion, is destined to have a wide circulation, from the
practical information which it will convey, of the fertile regions of the Great West, anil particularly the great Mississippi
Valley; the different counties of the State of Missouri; and a detailed description of the Mound City, and the extended
aud varim.s business ramifications which form the arteries of her existence.
The work is on a ost gigantic scale, the estimated cost being at least $15,000. It will contain biographies and
portraits of our leading citisens, nnd some of the early pioneers of the country; engravings of the chief public and
private buildings, and an authentic description of the leading firms in all the various business avocations.
It will be a book which the capitalist, agriculturist, the merchant, the manufacturer, and, in short all who read and
desire information, must consult with advantage.
We are glad to see that there is such a work in progress, and that it will present a complete panorama and typo-
graphical view of our great city and State, so different from the catch-penny productions which hare wen formerly
afloat among us.
It will be published in a styl e suitable both to the library and drawing-room, and we call attention to the prospectus
in another portion of our columns.-
This useful work has commenced in thorough business style, which will bring it soon to a quick and successful
completion.
Ma. Edwards has employed a corps of efficient reporters, who are authorised to procure every reliable information
required in his great work now in progress. These gentlemen are now engaged ia canvassing the city and State ; and
the officers of our public institutions, corporate companies, and all business firms and citizens of the State, by giving
attention to, and answering their inquiries, will not only assist Mr. Edwards in his great and useful enterprise,
but will materially subserve their own interest-for the work will embrace all the historical and business features of
cverv county in the State; and all, in looking over its pages, will see at a glance the immense resources of Missouri and
ance to our great metropolis.
We cordially hope all of our citizens will take an interest in a work of such material usefulness,-
We were shown by Mr. Edwards, on yesterday, a number of fine photographs, from which engravings are in progress
intending to illustrate bis great work now in the course of publication, called "The Great West, and her Commercial
Metropolis,
zens. Among the number, we saw one of
Allen, and many pothers. Finely-engraved plates of the Central Presbyterian Church. Second Presbyterion Church,
Church of the Messiah. New Custom-House, Court-House, and the prominent buildings, both public and private, are
ready to illustrate the work.
We have heretofore spoken favorably of this book, and wish to draw public attention to its value and usefulness, as it
wilt contain a. full history of the State, and all of her great business ramifications will be prominently displayed to
the world.-
We call the attention of our readers to the Prospectus of a new work, which appeared in the News yesterday, now in
the course of publication. It purports to give a general history of the West ; but the description of the Mississippi
Valley, the various counties of the state of Missouri, and all the manifold variety of business, which give its vital ele-
ments, will form the main features of the publication. The work will be illustrated with most beautiful and expensive
engravings, consisting of the most interesting portions of History, the prominent Buildinge of
and private enterprise. Portraits of tbe living, as well as the dead, of the illustrious citizens identified with the progress
and advancement of City and State, with their Biographies, together with a History cf the different Railroads, and a
narrative of the extent and resources of the chief business firms, will maka the book one of utility, and give it an
universal circulation.
The industrious citizen will be induced to migrate from the crowded marts of the Eastern cities to an ampler field; the
capitalist and merchant abroad will see the resources of our City aud State, and the one will be induced to invest his
funds where they will be the most available, and the other know in what manner to increase their commerical relations.
Such a work is much needed, as it will convey an accurate idea of the magnitude of the business of Missouri, and the
immense agricultural and business resources or the great State.-St. Louis Evening News,
We have seen a number of finely-executed photographs of some of our oldest and leading citizens, from which engrav-
ings are executing to adorn the above mentioned work. Among the number are those of Col John O'Fallon, James H-
Lucas.
Darby, Thomas Allen, Samuel Gaty. Hon F. P. Blair,
There are also, fine illustrations of some of our principal public buildings; and we have seen fine impressions of the new
Custom-House, Court House, church of the Messiah, Central Presbyterian Church and St. Louis University, with others
that ornament our city. Also, snme fine manufacturing establishments.
The work will be gotten up without regard to cost, and the " Mound City " will be displayed in a manner creditable
to the prominent position she occupies among the great Metropolis of our Union.-

The Great West And Her Commercial Metropolis,
A work of reference, and full of valuable information, exhibiting the natural resources,
commercial, railroad and manufacturing advantages of Missouri, and her flourishing

attention of capitalists and others thereto as a profitable place for investment. Natural
advantages alone, however, never build up great emporiams, but these, in addition to
the exertions of their merchants and business men, who are pushing, enterprising, far-seeing
and public-spirited-who possess city pride, and take delight in doing all in their power to
forward their city and State in population, wealth and influence-combine to render sure
and to establish the prosperity of the same on a lasting basis. Such being the character
and object of Mr. Edwards' proposed work, we take pleasure in recommending it to the

All the
The above Mill, in its construction, combines novelty and simplicity; either portable or stationary, as may be required, and of several different sizes; it is equally adapted to Steam, Water or
Horse power, and its simplicity, cheapness, durability, strength and easy management, cannot fail to convince every person, after a glance at its combined improvements, that it is the best Mill
now in use for making lumber. The frame is of oak; it has two saws. one above the other, and in a line with each other. so as to assist in cutting off the swell, batts, slab and knots. and in
splitting large logs. The upper saw can be moved on the arches so as to cut two planks with one run of the carriage; and for feneing from two to eight boards may be cut at once. The after
ends of the saw shafts are eonnected by by an arm, which serves as a guide to both bafes, so that complete control may be had over the saws while ruhuing; it also serves for their adjustment,
and keeps them true with each other while cutting. They are capable of sawing 1,000 to 1,500 feet per hour. according to size, and will work in all kinds of lumber without sawing crooked.
We warrant the Mills to perform in every respect as represented. Any information respecting them will be cheerfully given on application to Isa Ac >. Garrison, President, or to T. L. Sal-

Little Giant
Brick Maker.
Dane's Patent ani Sebring's Improvement
Labor-Saving Brick Machine.
For Grinding and Tempering Clay,
Moulding Bricks,
And Throwing Out Stones At The Same Time.
The Little Giant Brick Maker is worked by one horse and four hands, making 1,200 bricks per day.
It is strong and simple-has little machinery about it-any Blacksmith can repair it, or even make one. It
has only to be known, and few Farmers or large Planters would be without one, as their hands, after har-
vest, could be made profitable in brick-making.
Mannual labor is almost entirely dispensed with, except for the purpose of feeding the machine and carry-
ing away the bricks, the moulding and pressing being done by the same power that grinds the clay ; and
the machine will, when worked by two mules or horses, seven common laborers, mould and turn off easily
25,000 bricks per day. It is adapted either to steam or water power.
Gentlemen:-We take pleasure in adding our opinion to the many already in your possession as regards the Little
Giant Brick Maker. Having examined and compared your machine, and the quality of your bricks, we hesitate not in
recommending them The machine is unsurpassed for simplicity and strenght. If its merit is made known, it must
come into general use, and a revolution in the brick-making business will be the result. The advantages of the Little
Giant over all other modes of making bricks are too numerous to mention ; but depend upon it, if made known, they
will be appreciated.
Respectfully, yours,
Farmers, Planters and others purchasing rights, and are not acquainted with brick-making, will be sup-
plied with full and complete inrtruction in the mod. of burning and taking care of bricks by the Proprie-
tors. who have made it their constant study and business for over twenty years, rendering the art of brick
-making so simple, that any plantation hands or laborers can accomplish all required.
Machines are made of various sizes and prices, according to the territory-from $300 and upwards.
Application innt be made to N. Wilson Sabring &
city, Md. ; to Shapleigh, Day &
An idea may be formed of the immense value of this Machine by reading testimonials from competent
persons and those who have used them.
A Circular containing them will be sent per Mall on application as above.

Raymond'S Latest Improved
Double
Family
Sewing Machine
Warranted To Be The Best In The World.
They Will Stitch And Hem, Tuck And Fell, Father And Embrolder, With Perfection, And Are
Especially Adapted To Family Use.
They will sew all kinds of goods, from the finest to the coarseat, better than any other Machine now extant, and may
be used with excellent success in all kinds of light leather work. Any person of ordinary intelligence canb, in one hoar,
learn to use them successfully. These machines are Warranted and any person purchasing them can returs
them and get their money, if, after a month's trial, they don not prove satisfactory.
The following are among the advantages they possess over all other machines;
1st.-They are simple, strong and durable, easily understood and managed, and not liable to get out of order.
2d.-They use cotton from the ordinary spool, without rewinding, saving time, trouble and waste.
3d.-The stitch is stronger and more difficult to rip than any other made by machinery, and is superior to the best hand
Sewing. The two threads are double looped into cach, and firmly tied and knotted at every stitch. They take the
same stich as the celebrated Grover & Baker Machine, which is the best and most clastic stich over yet made.
4th.-They sew with Cotton, Linen and Silk Thread equally well.
5th.-They Finish their work. There is no accasion to fasten the threads at either end of the seam, as is required
by all shuttle stich machines.
6th.-Every Machine is made to run by hand or foot power, thus combing the advantages of both methods.
Price Of Hand Machine, 25 Dollars.

Russell'S Patent
Fire And Water Proof
Mastic Roofing.
This Roofing, having been used extensively in this city, is pronounced, by all who have used it, to be just what is
required, being strictly Fire Proof and Water Tight. It is durable, resisting the action of the weather, and will neither
Crack nor Run from heat or cold. It is made of a stout canvas, which is
Saturated
With a patented composition, that forms an India Rubber-like material, which is, of itself, water and air tight. The
saturated canvas, after having been put upon the roof and cemented together. Is covered with a Patent Mastic, or
Cement, and coarse sand thrown upon it, hardening by exposure to the air. making it strictly Fire Proof.
One great advantage over other composition roofs is this, that work can be finished as soon as the saturated canvas is
put on, causing no delay whatever. To parties residing at a distance the material is easy of shipment, and can be put
on by any one following the printed directions.
Refer To
We would also refer to the following gentlemen all of whom are using the Roofing:

Empire Gas Burner
Patented
This Burner has been used with eminent success in all the principal Eastern cities. Upwards of 20,000 of them are
now in une, and they arc daily growing in favor, and taking the place of all other inventions for a similar purpose.
Numerous testimonials have been received, from scientific and practical men, who have had the Burners in use for
the past two years with great satisfaction.
In point of Economy it is superior, while its Mechanical construction is such as to render it more desirable than any
other Burner ever before offered to the public.
It Is Warranted To Save From 25 To 30 Per Cent. Of Gas
Over The Common Burner. And
Pkoduce An Equal Amount Of Light,
Being perfectly simple in its construction, it is not liable to get out of order. It is well known, however, that
all Burners gotten up to economize in the use of Gas are more less liable to fill up. One of the many advantages the
Empire Burner possesses over the Burners in general use, is, the facility with which it may be cleaned, by unscrewing
and removing the top part of the hurner; the Cone, or Purifier, can readily be taken out, and the coal tar, or other
deleterious substances contained in Gas, and which may deposit on its exterior, may be easily removed, thus rendering
the Burner as good as new.
☞ The following are among the many testimonials already received, tending to show the just appreciation of the
merits of this burner over many other inventions of a similar character :
Office Chicaoo Gas Light and Coke Company, Chicago,
Mr.
opinion is, this Burner will save at least thirty percent, over the bat wing or flsh tail burners, and give as good, if not
a better light. The ease and facility with which this burner can be cleaned is a great recommendation to it, as well as
the great saving in gas. Respectfully, P, T. Burtl3, Supt, Chicago Gas Works.
Office Louisville Gas Co.,
I have tested the Empire Gas Burner. and find it an excellent Burner. It gives a fine, steady flame, and, by its pecu-
liar construction, checks the flow of Gas, and thus, to a great extent, prevents the extravagant consumption. The
Empire Burner is the best Gas Burner I have tried. Robt. G. Courtenay, Prest, Louisville Gas Co.
To
Office of the Gas Co., Springfield. Iii.,
I hereby certify that I have made a practical test of the Empire Gas Burner, and find that they consume no more Gas
than each Burner is marked, viz.. 3, 4 and 5 feet per hour. By their peculiar construction they prevent the Gas from
blowing, improve the appearance of the light, and consume less Gas than any other Burner now in use.

The Lawyer Press,
As now improved, and running in all the principal cities of New-York, Pennsylvania,

approbation of Practical Printers, who un hesitatingly pronounce it
The Cheapest, And Best Job Printing Press
Ever offered to the craft in the United States. Within the past two years, this truly
excellent Press has been greatly improved by Mr. Lawyer: the principal improvement
being the introduction of of the Oscilating Cylinder, in the distribution—taking the place
of the old "Distributor"—which was about the only objectionable feature of the Press,
formerly. With this advantage, and the increased size and weight of the Fly-Wheel,
—adding greatly to the ease of working—the Lawyer Improved Printing
Press must commend itself to the attention of Printers throughout the country. It
was invented by the Proprietor, Mr.
and is manufactured of the best material, under his own immediate supervision, at Green-
wood's celebrated Foundry, Cincinnati. ☞ We have one of these Presses in use, and
like it very much.

This is the title of a new work now in press, which, on its completion, is destined to have a wide circulation from the
practical information which it will convey, of the fertile regions of the Great West, and particularly the great Mississippi
Valley; the dinercnt counties of the State of Missouri; and a detailed description of the Mound City, aud the extended
and various business ramifications which form the arterries of her existnece.
The work is on a most gigantic scale, the estimated cost being at least $15,000. It will contain biographies and
portraits of our leading citizens, and some'of the early pioneers of the country; engravings of the chief publie and
private buildings, and an authentic description of the leading firms in all the various business avocations.
It will be a book which the capitalist, agriculturist, the merchant, the manufacturer, and, in short, all who read and
desire information must consult with advantage.
We arc glad to see that there is such a work in progress, and that it will present a complete panorama and typo-
graphical view of our great city and State, so different from the catch-penny productions which have been formerly
afloat among us.
It will be published in a style suitable both to the library and drawing-room, and we call attention to the prospectus
in another portion of our columns.—Mo. Democrat,
This useful work has commenced in thorough business style, which will bring it soon to a quick and successful
completion.
Mi. Edwahbs has employed a corps of efficient reporters, who are authorised to procure every reliable information
required in his great work now in progress. These gentlemen are now engaged in canvassing the city and State, and
the officers of our public institutions, corporate companies, and all business firms and citizens of the State, by giving
attention to, and answering their inquiries, will not only assist Mr. Edwards in his great and useful enterprise,
but will materially subserve their own interests-for the work will embrace all the historical and business features of
every county in the State, and all, in looking over its pages, will see at a glance the immense resources of Missouri and
St. Louis, and who are the prominent men that are directing its business currents, which give tho vitality and impor-
tance to our great metropolis.
We cordially hope all of our citizens will take an interest in a work of such material usefulness - Republican,
We were shown by Mr. Edwards, on yesterday, a number of fine photographs, from which engravings are in progress
intending to illustrate bis great work now in the course of publication, called "The Great West, and her Commercial
Metropolis, St. Louis." The photographs are finely executed, and are made up of our oldest and most respectable citi-
iens. Among tho number, we saw one of Hon. F. P. Blair, Hon. Edward liates, H. D. Bacon, James H. Lucas, Thomas
Allen, and many others. Finely engraved plates of the Central Presbyterian Church, Second Presbyterian Church,
Church of the Messiah. New Custom-House, Court-House, and the prominent buildings, both public and private, are
ready to illustrate the work.
We have heretofore spoken favorably of this book, and wish to draw public attention to its value and usefulness, as it
will contain a full history of the State, and all of her great business ramifications will be prominently displayed to
the world.-Mo. Democrat,
We call the attention of our readers to the Prospectus of a new work, which appeared in the Neva yesterday, now in
the course of publication. It purports to give a general history of the West; but the description of the Mississippi
Valley, the various counties of the State of Missouri, and all the manifold variety of business, which give its vital ele-
ments, will form the main features of the publication. The work will bo illustrated with most beautiful and expensive
engravings, consisting of the most interesting portions of History, the prominent Buildings of St. Louis, both of public
and private enterprise. Portraits of the living, as well as the dead, of the illustrious citizens identified with the progress
and advancement of City and State, with their Biographies, together with a History of the different Railroads, and a
narrative of the extent and resources of the chief business firms, will make the book one of utility, and give it an
universal circulation.
St Louis, the State of Missouri, and. in fact, foe whole Union, will be benefitted by the publication of such a work.
The jndustnous citizen will be induced to migrate from the crowded marts of the Eastern cities to an ampler field ; the
capitalist and merchant abroad will see the resources of our City and State, and the one will be induced to invest his
funds where they will be the most available, and the o ther know in what manner to increase their commercial relations.
Such a work is much needed, as it will convey an accurate idea of the magnitude of the business of Missouri and the
immense agricultural and business resources of the great State.-St. Louis Evening News,
We have seen a number of finely executed photographs of some of our oldest and leading citizens, from which enirrfty-
mgs are executing to adorn the above-mentioned work. Among the number are thote of Col. Johu O'Fallon, James H.
Lucas. Hon. Edward Bates, Hon. Trustcn Polk, Hon. L. M Kennett, Theron Barnum, H. D. Bacon, Hon. John F.
Darby, Thomas Allen, Samuel Gaty. Hon. F. P. Blair, jr., and many others.
There a re also fine illustrations of some of our principal public buildings, and we have seen fine impressions of the new
Custom-House, Court-House, Church of the Messiah, Central Presbyterian Church and St. Louis University with others
that ornament our city. Also, some fine manufacturing establishments.
The work will be gooten up without regard to cost, and the "Mound City " will be displayed in a manner creditable
to the prominent position she occupies among the great Metropolis of our Union.-Mo. Republican,

For the following description and explanations we are mainly indebted to the Evening News. We
have made a few additions, so far as the department allotted to the Post office is concerned:
The basement story has the following apartments, viz : The Sub-Treasury office, U. S. Marshal's office,
Mail Rooms for the Post Office, and Reception Rooms for the Hospital patients. The Sub-Treasury is
ready for occupancy, and is neatly fitted up with sash partitions counters, &c.
The first floor building, on Third street, is intended for the Post Office, and is one of the most conveni-
ent offices in the country. The General Delivery for the American and German public is placed oppo-
site the entrance; the Ladies'Delivery is on the north side, having a separate entrance, together with
rooms for the Post Master and Assistant Post Master, and entrance to the interior of the office. The Post
Master's office in so arranged that he can have at once a view of the entire office. The German Ladies
Delivery is adjoining the German Public Delivery, so that the same clerk can attend to both. The Box
Department is placed on the south side, and contains nearly five thousand boxes, and can be arranged
for twice that number. Each case, containing one hundred and forty-four boxes, is hung on hinges,
so as to open free of the sash in front, thus affording an opportunity of cleaning the glass with but very
little trouble. The Boxes for Exchanges of Newspapers are arranged at the east end of the passage in
front of the boxes, and from there a door with iron stairs leads down to the south and east alley. This
part of the office, for the convenience of the press, is open all night, so that they may get their pa-
pers, while an iron grated door cuts off access to the balance of the office when the hour for closing comes.
This door and stairs will be a great convenience, allowing the public access to the street through the alley
instead of returning west to Third street.
On the south side, immediately in front of the deliveries, is the Register's Office, for depositing and
receiving valuable letters, and at the side of the German Delivery, and constituting itself a front orna-
mental pannel, will be the office for the sale of Stamps and Envelopes and the pre-payment of foreign
letters.
The cases for transient and regular Newspapers, to persons who have not boxes, are arranged both for
English and German, adjoining the Letter Deliveries for each, and this will be found more complete and
convenient than any former arrangement in this city.
The Newspaper Department is at the east end of the South Hall, and is well arranged for every accom-
modation to the Press. The Mail Delivery is placed on the south east corner of the basement story, hav-
ing iron stairs connecting it with the Post Office floor ; together with this, a Dumb Waiter is prepared to
hoist up all the mail matter to the various offices. As to warming and ventilating, it can have no equal,
from the fact of four furnaces being placed in the basement story, and being lit and ventilated by thirty
large windows.
The second story of the building is occupied by the following offices, viz : The U. S. District Court
Room, Circuit Court Room, Library, Judges Rooms, Circuit and District Clerks' Rooms, and Port Sur-
veyor's Rooms. The District Court Room is placed in the north east corner of the building—the Judges'
Bench is situated on the north side of the room, and fitted up with twelve Lawyers' desks, two large
tables. Clerks, Bailiffs, Criers, and Marshal's stands, and other necessary conveniences.
The Circuit Court Room is fitted up with twenty-four Lawyers' desks, desks for the Bailiff, Crier, and
Marshal, stands for the Crier and Witnesses, aud the Bench is situated in the south side of the room. The
Library is fitted up with spacious book cases, together with offices for the clerks, &c.
The Custom House Offices are placed fronting on Third street, extending across the whole front, and
neatly fitted up with railings, counters, desks, tables, presses, &c., &c., and private offices, being divided
by sash partitions.
The third story has rooms for the Grand and Petit Juries ; also rooms for the Local Inspectors and U. S.
District Attorney. The arrangements are different from those heretofore made, and are more advan-
tageous both to the officers and to the public.
In addition to the rooms already mentioned, there are five very large apartments unoccupied, and from
every arrangement in hand, it is evident that the building is more than large enough for all the purposes
for which it was originally intended.
In connection with the Sub-Treasury, it may not be out of place to append a few more particulars. The
Sub-Treasury, as already mentioned, is located in the north east corner of the building, with its entrance
on Olive street. It contains a large business room and a private one for the Sub-Treasurer, together with
a Watchman's Room connected. The Safe for Sub-Treasurer is one of the largest and strongest in the
United States. The bottom, top, sides, and ends are made of three thicknesses of chilled iron, and riveted
together in the very strongest manner. Its dimensions are about fourteen feet in length, eleven feet wide,
and some ten feet in height, the whole standing on a solid foundation of masonry. The sides and top are
enclosed with a brick wall two feet two inches thick, and in the centre of the thickness of this wall is a
lattice work of iron, made of wrought bars nearly a half inch thick by two and a half inches wide—all
being riveted together. The door is secured with a lock having 4,000,000 of changes, and which will re-
quire three keys to open it, and three persons will each be entrusted with one of them. These keys can be
so changed every day, by means of collars placed on each, that it will be a matter of impossibility for
thieves to manufacture keys to open it, particularly as it requires all three of the persons carrying keys to
he present before it is possible to open it at all, for one or two of the keys will not suffice.
Is located in the new Custom House Building, corner of Third and Olive, a description of which we
have given above.

For the following article we are indebted to the Annual Report made to the Chamber of Commerce by the
Secretary, W. B. Baker, Esq.:
One of the most interesting events of the year was the successful accomplishment of the Overland Mail
enterprise between St. Louis and San Francisco; establishing not only the practicability of the route—
divergent as it is from a direct line—but giving promise, under matured appointments, of lessening the
contract time very materially. The first arrival was heralded at this termiuns on the 9th of October, in
something less than twenty-five days. The mail from this side reached the Pacific about the same time,
and both achievements received appropriate attention from the two cities. At San Francisco the event was
celebrated in an imposing manner, proportioned to its importance to that isolated section of the Union. It
was hailed as a means of transit by which the wealth and permanent prosperity of the country could be
developed; as an inducement to the speedy settlement of the immense territory lying between the Eastern
borders of California and Oregon, and the western lines of Kansas, Missouri, and Arkansas, (such is the
language of the Resolutions,) and as affording facilities for and a security to emigration, which will very
soon attract a vast population; as a thoroughfare within the domain of the United States, calculated to bind
tgether the East and West, and to unite by firmer ties the States whose shores are laved by the waters of
the two great oceans, and by creating a warmer sentiment of brotherhood between different sections,
hitherto separated by natural barriers; as an emancipation from the thraldom of the only speedy routes
hitherto available, the necessity of whose use had subjected their citizens to the dangers and privations of
sea travel and oft-repeated indignities and wrongs from semi-civilized foreign governments. A gentleman
who passed through on this first trip, gave, on the occasion of the celebration, an interesting statement of
the journey, in the following brief manner:
" For the first one hundred and sixty miles from St. Louis he traveled on the Pacific Hail way to Jeffer-
son City ; thence by Concordia coach to Springfield, through the richest agricultural region in Missouri;
thence to Fayettville, Arkansas, through the Ozark Mountains. This part of the route is the roughest en-
countered. He next went on to Fort Smith, the intersection of the Memphis route. Fifteen minutes after
they arrived at this point, the Memphis mail came in, which is the best evidence that the junction is at the
proper place on the route. After leaving Fort Smith, passed through the Choctaw country to Red Bivcr.
The Indians are perfectly quiet. Sherman, Texas, was the next settlement; thence to Gainseville. The
country in this section is very fine and well wooded. Phantom Hill, a deserted military station, was next
stopped at, and successively Forts Belknap and Chadbourne. At both of these forts a few soldiers are sta-
tioned. From Fort Chadbourn to head waters of Concha River, the southernmost point on the route, and
on the 32d degree parallel; thence they struck over Llano Estacudo, a barren plain, seventy-five miles in
width. Although in an uncovered wagon, he Buffered little inconvenience in crossing this plain. He be
lieves thnt, very shortly, the trip over the plain will be made in a single day. Thence they journeyed to
1'ecos River, a tributary of the Rio Grande, and up that stream to Pope's Camp, fifty miles below the old
emigrant road. This is ou a line with Guudalupe Teak; thence to Cornudas Tank and Tncco Tanks, to
Franklin, opposite El Passu; thence one hundred and twelve miles up the Pecos River. On this section
they had no animals except what they took along with them. Stations are needed here, and will soon be
established. The country between Red River and the Pecos is almost entirely uninhabited. Three miles
an hour was the average time made on this section, but this delay was more than made up on this side of El
Paso. The arrangements on the western half of the road arc far more complete than on the eastern jide.
They then proceeded up on Col. Leach's road, through the Rio Grande and Mcsilla valleys, crossing to
Cook's Spring; thence to Miuibres, in the Gadsden purchase. Provisions here have to be furnished by the
company. The stations are from lifteen to twenty miles apart. From Tucson the route runs through Pa-
cheen Pass nnd Pimo village to Maricopas; thence through the valley of the Gila to Fort Ynma, on the bor-
ders of California. Midway on the stxty-mile desert there is a water station. The road up to Los Angelos
and thence tn this city is iu fine condition." The distance from St. Louis to San Francisco, by this route,
was given at 2759 miles.
To St. Louis, such an accomplishment is worthy of the highest consideration. New York, St. Louis, San
Francisco, on this great national thoroughfare (for the line of railroad to the Atlantic is the chain) present
themselves as the three great cities of the country—the principal market of a commerce unrivaled in the
extent of its domain and the variety and value of its products. Simultaneous with the great achievement
was the announcement of the discovery of gold at Pike's Peak—the highest mass of the Sierra Madre.
This point is nearly midway between St. Louis and San Francisco, and i'.s precious ores seem to have been
presented at this favorable moment for the purpose of inspiring the friends uf a Pacific Railroad, aud meet-
ing the difficulty of distance half way. From the preparations now apparent, thousands of adventurers
will doubtless seek this gold and silver region this spring, and thus at once establish, in the heart of the
wilderness beyond us, the strength, energy, and protection of a civilized community. In a brief period—fcr
ten years only have elapsed since the incident at tho mill-race of Gen. Sutter—a new State will be asking
for admission into the Union, and the intermediate country, from the Mississippi to its borders, marked with
continuous improvements. This market will be sought as the most available for the supplies required by
new settlements, and in the end will form the gateway to the vast agricultural and mineral wealth of that
immense region. It is hardly to be expected that the claim to this outlet, of such inconceivable moment,
should be yielded to any particular locality without a struggle, especially while the General Government
must bear the burden of the expensive system of postal routes, aud finally of a gigantic railway; and,
accordingly, claims are preferred by the South aud North for the terminus on the Mississippi.
The Government, in this view of the case, has acted wisely, no doubt, in ordering the southern detour
in the contract for the mail service, as such a course 13 weli calculated to disarm sectional animusity, and
thereby lead to an early consummation of the great requirement of the age. This spirit on the part of the
Government has been further expressed in the establishment of other mail routes across the plains. Besides
the principal one under consideration, the Postmaster-General, with tho approval of the Executive, has
established a weekly mail from St. Joseph, on the Missouri, through Utah to Placerville; and also a monthly-
line from Neosho, Missouri, by Albuquerque, to the Tejon Pass in ijalifornia, and each has important
branches. A fourth route is in contemplation, to begin at St. P aul, and pass through the Pembina settle-
ments, in the valley of the Red River of the North, and after crossing the Rocky Mountains, diverge, on the
one hand to Puget's Sound, and on the other to the lower settlements in western Oregon. A year or two
of experiment on these various routes will unerringly lead the public attention to the most practical one,
and the great work will be commenced under the auspices of a national consent. No one, however, ean be
blind to the decided advantages of St. Louis in this future enterprise. Pike's Peak is almost immediately
west, and nearly midway between the Mississippi and the terminus on the Pacific. Should the auriferous
character of the country in its vicinity turn out as productive as it has been represented, the first rail laid
by the Government must inevitably point in that direction. That other roads, in the course of time, will be
constructed, there can be no doubt; but the first steam car across the plains (if the future can be penetrated
at all by the light of present circumstances) will certainly start from this city, in a line almost directly
west, to the salient point of the Sierra Madre adverted to. If Pike's Peak on the West, and the direct line
to California beyond, are advantageous for the central route to the citizens of this section, the position cf
St. Louis is equally as attractive to the people of the Pacific slope. There is no more advantageous point
in this great valley for such a terminus. Located near the center of the Mississippi River, with its 3,000
miles of navigation, and fifteen hundred steamers—with line3 of packets established to every point North
and South, and far up to the source of every tributary—and with railways radiating in all directions—opp
or-
tunities are offered to passengers and products for almost instantaneous ingress and egress. Through this
gate the world opens up with its homes and markets, accessible by the surest, cheapest, safest, and most
speedy modes of transportation.
The Chamber of Commerce having always taken a great interest in any question relating to the unob-
structed navigation of the great rivers of the West, a short history of the Rock Island Bridge, and the
various legal steps taken to prevent its erection, and since that time to remove it as a nuisance, will come
within the scope of this report.
The Chicago and Rock Island Railroad was the first enterprise of the kind completed from Chicago to
the Mississippi; and it was also the first Bailroad in the United States built by speculators and contractors
By it anew era in railroading was initiated, under which roads were to be built, not because the people
needed them, and were willing to take the stock, but that contractors might make their fortunes in the
construction. The parties who were the main men in the Rock Island road then projected a connecting
road from Davenport westward; they became the principal stockholders, and took the entire contract for
building the road to the Missouri River. To make all things smooth, they must needs have a bridge across
the Mississippi River, and the same men appear as the corporators and builders of that structure. As their
charter contained a clause that the same "should be constructed in such a manner as not materially to
obstruct or interfere with the free navigation of the river," but little attention was paid to the matter; every
one supposing they would, of course, comply with all the provisions of their charter. But in choosing a
site, they located their line across the island of Rock Island, at that time held by the General Government
as a military reservation.
Some gentlemen of St. Louis, rightly foreseeing what trouble would in future be caused by bridges across
this river, sent one of their number to Washington, and he procured an order from the Secretary of War,
forbidding any work on the island, and caused a suit to be instituted at Chicago to prevent the erection of
the proposed bridge. But because the Secretary was a Southern man, a great cry was raised that the whole
proceeding arose from a spirit of Southern jealousy, and the Company continued their work. The suit was
tried before Judge McLean, and the main point contested was, the right of the Company to cross a small
island—the important question of the effect upon the navigation of the greatest river in the world being
evidently regarded as a mere collateral matter. The case is reported in the sixth volume of McLean;s Reports,
page 517. The Jndge declined to grant the injunction, because the testimony upon the question of the
obstruction was very contradictory, and nearly of equal weight; and he thought it best to let the Company
go on and build, leaving navigators their remedy by actions at law for damages as they might occur. The
result has proved that the captains and pilots who testified that the bridge would be a great obstruction
were right; for within a few days after the opening of navigation—the first spring after the bridge was
completed—thirteen steamboats were detained there at one time, none of them being able to pass the draw.
The first boat that had power to stem the currents—the Effie Afton—was wrecked, and swinging ronnd,
caught fire, and burned off one of the spars. Immediately all the detained boats passed through the burnt
space without difficulty, and they continued to use that passage until prevented by the rebuilding of the
obstruction. The suit for the value of the Afton was tried at Chicago, in
McLean, The Court would not permit the right of challenge for cause, and the only four peremptory chal-
lenges allowed the Plaintiff had been exhausted. Under these circumstances, the Plaintiff was fortunate to
get off by having the jury disagree. His case is now in progress in Burlington, Iowa, where he will get a
more satisfactory hearing.
The injury to the commerce of the river had become so serious, that in
appointed a Committee to institute proceedings to have the bridge abated as a nuisance, aud they have raised
the necessary means to carry their suit to a termination. In the winter of
bridge began to show signs of falling, and the company prepared a very large quantity of materials to
strengthen or rebuild it. This Committee at once instituted a suit in Iowa, and all repairs to the broken
pier have been prevented. During the summer it moved about eighteen inches, and the draw of the bridge
had to be cut off fully two feet, as the pier yielded and the truss pushed over. There is every probability
that part of the bridge will fall when the ice comes down this spring.
The evidence taken in this preliminary suit shows that the injury to the commerce of the river, including
lumber, caused by this bridge, is fully half a million dollars each year. One witness testified that the damages
he had seen would amount to between $400,000 and $500,000, and several others that the loss and detention at
the bridge for the three years it has been standing, amount to more than those on both the Rapids for twenty
years. Testimony is now being taken for the final hearing, which is set down for May next, and those who
have the best means of judging are quite confident that every stick and stone of this great obstruction will
be removed by due course of law.—Last Annual Report to Chamber of Commerce.
According to the charter issued in
the State banks are required to be incorporated with
a capital of at least $1,000,000—they are not to issue
bills of a less denomination than $5, nor to deal in
notes of banks of other States, (or currency), and
each of them are required to publish, in two of the
city papers, quarterly statements of—
The amount of iti capital stock actually paid in.
The amount of real estate held by the bank aud
branches.
The amount of gold and silver coin and bullion on
hand.
The amount of notes of other banks.
The amount due from all other sources.
The amount of undivided profits, and the amount
of State bonds on hand.
The amount of its notes and bills in circulation.
The amount due by the bank to all other banks.
The amount due to depositors.
The total amount of debts and liabilities of every
description.
The amount on hand of bills discounted, exchange
matnring, and the amount of suspended debts.
The aggregate amount of liabilities of all direc-
tors, as principals and endorsers. Every bank loca-
ted in the city of St. Louis shall publish, in at least
one newspaper published in that city, a weekly state-
ment of the coin on hand, bills maturing, and the
amount of its circulation.
They have to invest 10 per cent, of their paid up
capital in 8tate bonds, and to set apart two percent.
of their nett earnings as a contingent fund, to be
also invested in State bonds; and in consideration of
the privileges allowed them, they have also to pay
the State annually one per cent, of the capital stock
paid in by the stockholders. Seven per cent, is their
limit of interest to be exacted on paper, and semi-
annual dividends can be declared, but not to impair
the capital stock. At present $2,50 of paper can be
issued for every dollar of their paid up coin capital;
after two years $3 to $1 may be issued; but as yet,
dollar for dollar has not been issued by the city
banks, though some of the branches have issued all
they are entitled to.
Discount Days—The private banks and a number
of the Savings institutions discount every day. The
banks of issue, and some of the Savings banks, have
the following days set apart for this :
Mondays and Thursdays—-The State, Southern
Bank of St. Louis, Exchange Bank, and People's
and United States Savings Institutions.
Tuesdays and Fridays—the Merchants', and Me-
chanics' banks and First Ward Savings Institutions.
In addition to the requirements of all the State
banks, the following are peculiar to the Bank of the
State of Missouri: The bills or notes of said bank
shall be receivable in all payments due to the State;
and the public moneys of the State, as well, as those
of any public corporation for public purposes, and in
which the State may be a part owner, shall be kept
on deposit in said bank or its branhees, whenever
lying inactive. Said bank shall, also, act as the fis-
cal agent of the State, negotiate all loans for the
State, either in Europe or America, transfer the
funds of the State from one part of the State to
another, and from one portion of the United States to
another, charging only the actual expense. Special
deposits of the State in the said bank, for a period of
twelve months or longer, shall be entitled to draw
interest at the rate of six per cent, per annum.

City, for the above article on the State bankB, ex-
tracted from an interesting account of the banking
institntions of this city, recently published in that
paper.
