SiR :-After consulting many persons interested in
the principal Rail Roads 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 Rail- Road securities,
with the construction and administration of Raj:
Roads. They also propose, especially, to urge
upon Congress a modification Of the laws relat-
ing contracts for carrying the mail, to au-
thorize the.Post Office Department TO contract fci
the perpetuaIuss Of Rail. Roads, and, instead, Of
paying, as now, quarterly on contracts for foai
years, TO advance in five per cent. bonds of tbs
United States, chargeable upon the revenues oil
the Post Office Departnent.an amount, the inte.
rest upon which nj per cent. would equal IT I
payments now made.
The government now pays $500 per mile foi
carrying the mail on first class Rail Roads. This
is 6 per cent. on $500. The undersigned woulc
urge that, instead of paying $500 mile, per an
mum, the Department should deliver, on acontrac
rest Of FIVE per centum. At this rate the charge
upon the Department would be reduced from 500
to $3.50 mile, per annum, and the $50 per mill
saved would create sinking fund which will, in
fewyear pay ofTthe Bonds and give theuse ofaucl
roads forever thereafter, free Of all charge there
by effecting vast saving on the present annua
Expenditures Of the Pc Ofios 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 Balti
more and Ohio Railroad Company more thar
$4,000 900, which would enable that complete il
road at early day. and greatly increase its bust
ness and profits.
| But to meet objections and impress the publ
mind with a proper sense of the benefits to resu
from this measure will require concert of actio
and continued active effort, through the press I'm
otherwise. The undersigned tender their service
to your Company, expecting reasonable con
| pensation, partly contingent upon the success {
the measure; and respectfully suggest the pre-
pr;ety of your sending one or more delegates t
this city, on the first Wednesday in Decembe
next. to confer with delegates from other Rail
Road Companies, as to the details of the propos
ed arrangement and the best mode ofbringing tn
subject before Congress.
Hoping to hear from you atyOur earliest con
venience, we are, respectfully, your obi servt

bring for exhibition thereat portions of your stock
he products Of your orchards and Of your gardens
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
onlyby comparison that the relative merits ANY
thing can be determined. The safer presumption
for you to arrive at, will be that what you have
IA as good If not better than that OF others, and
that it behooves you calamity enter the list OF
competition il defeated honorably, and the high
k&racter of the judges is guarantee that you
an be defeated in no other way, you will ENJOY
he luxury Of knowing that others were more en-
lied to success than yourself.
And while we address you to bring such articles
az are properly in your department, we crave per-
mission to solicit your interest, to induce your
,oives and daughters to bring whatever appertains
To their peculiar departments, as embroidery, house
hold manufactures, the proanets Of the dairy ana o.
the poultry yGrd preserves domestic Utes conJec-
tos, and above all things to come thenlsetues, as
,o,hou von,an, aud the beautiful Celebrations Of he'
aste and genirs no display can be perfect.
To the Manufacturers Of agricultural Implements
aud Tools we would say, that interest and Patri-
otism both combine to enjoin upon you the pro
priety Of milking grand exhibition Of your ma
chinery of all kinds, as from our present advlces,
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, viii be
greater than upon any former occasion here or
elsewhere. We therefore say to the agricultural
Implement makers aud Mechanics United States,
make it a matter of pride to display your machi-
merry at our exhibition, and vie with each other 10
having the best and largest assortment on the
ground. Such ambition is laudabie-is worthy OF
