SIR :-After consulting many persons interested in
the principal Railroads in the United States, the
undersigned propose to establish agencies in this
city and in New York, for the purpose of collect
ing full and authentic Railroad statistics and
such other information will enable them to serve
persons desiring to invest in Railroad securities
or to procure information ofany matters connected
with the construction and administration of Raj!
Roads They also propose, especially, to urge
upon Congress n modification of the laws reat.
ing to contracts for carrying the mail, so as to au-
thorize the Post Office Department to contract foI
the perpetual use of Rail Roads, and, instead Of
paying, AZ now, quarterly on contracts for foul
years, to advance in five per cent. bonds of the
United States, chargeable upon the revenues OF
the Post Office Departmen,,nn amount, the int.
rest upon which at & pei cent. would equal II
payments now made.
The government now pays $500 per mile for
carrying the mail on first class Railroads This
is per cent. on $1,000 The undersigned would
urge that, instead of paying $500 mile, per un
mum, the Department should deliver, on acontrac
n perpetuity, five 81 900 bonds, bearing an inie
rest of five per centum. Al this rate the charg,
upon the Department would be reduced from $500
to $3.50 mile, per annum, and the $50 per mile
saved would create sinking fund which will, in a
ewyears, offthe Bonds, aud give the use ofauct
roads forever thereafter, free of all charge there
by effecting vast saving on the present annua
expenditures Of the Pot Office Department, ant
a consequent reduction of the rates of postage.
The effect will be no less advantageous to Rail
Road Companies than to the government. Fo,
instance, such contract would give to the Balt
more and Ohio Railroad Company more thar
1000 900, which would enable that complete ia
road at an early day, and greatly increase its bust
ness and profits.
But to meet objections and impress the public
mind with proper sense Of the benefits to result
from this measure will require concert Of action
and continued active effort, through the press md
otherwise. The undersigned tender their services
to your Company, expecting reasonable com.
pensaton, partly contingent upon the success OF
the measures and respectfully suggest the pro-
priety Of your sending one or more delegates to
this city, on the first "Wednesday in December
next. to confer with delegates from other Rail
Road Companies, as TO the details Of the propos
ed arrangement and the best mode ofbringing the
subject before Congress.
Hoping to hear from you at your earliest con
venience, we are, respectfully, your obi serv't.

Don't presume that any animal, or product, you
may own is inferior to others that will be here,
and be thus deferred from bringing them, as it is
only by comparison that the relative merits ofany
thing can be determined. The safer presumption
for you to arrive at, will be that what you have
as as good, if not better than that Of others, and
hat it behooves you to calamity enter the list OF

haracter of the judges is guarantee that you

To the Manufacturers Of agricultural Implements
and Tools we would say, that interest and patrl-
otism both combine to enjoln upon you the pro
priety Of making grand exhibition of your ma
chinery of all kinds, as from our present advices,
we are led to believe that the assembage of farm
ers and planters, and of distinguished strangers
from most OF the States of the Union, will be
greater than upon any former occasion here or
elsewhere We therefore say to the agricultural
ImpLemsnt makers and Mechanics the United STATES,
make it a matter Of pride to display your mach-
nery at our exhibition, and vie with each other in
having the best and largest assortment on the
ground. Such ambition is audable-is worthy of
