Sin latter consulting many persons interested in

undersigned prcposs to establish agencies in this

such other information ~ will enable them

or to procure information ofany matters connected

Roads. They also propose, especially, to urge
upon Congress modification of the laws relat
ing to contracts for carrying the mail, SO as to au
thorize the Post Office Department to contract TO-
the perpetual use Of Railroads, and, instead al
paying, ss now, quarterly on contracts for foui
years, to advance in five per cent. bonds of tn.
the Post Office Dcpartnent,An amount, the int
rest upon which at per cent. would equal Il
payments now made.
The government, now pays $500 per mile for
carrying the mail on first class Railroads. This
is 6 per cent. on $1,000. The undersigned would
urge that, instead OF paying $500 mile, per an
mum, the Department should deliver, on acontract
n perpetuity five 81 900 bonds, bearing an inte
rest Of five per centum. At this rate the charge
upon inc department WOuIu Oe r6uuceu rom W1UU
| to $3.50 mile, per annum, and the $50 per mile
saved would create sinking fund which will in a
fewyears,pay oflthe Bonds and give theuse ofsuch
roads forever thereafter free Of all charge there
by effecting vast saving on the present annua
expenditures of the Pc Office Department, anC
| 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
| 81, 900 900, which would enable that complete it
road at early day. and greatly increase its buei
ness and profits.
| But to meet objections and impress the publ
mind with proper sense of the benefits to rosul
from this measure will require concert Of acton
and continued active effort, through the press ant
otherwise. The undersigned tender their service
to your Company, expecting reasonable com
pensaton, partly contingent upon the success 0
the measure and respectfully suggest the pro
priety 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 at your earliest con
venience, we are, respectfully, your obi serv't.

bring for exhibition thereat portions Of your stock

Don't presume that any animal, or product, you
NAV 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 of any
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

To the manufacturers Of .agries.lMraI Implements

priety of making grand exhibition of your ma
chinery Of all kinds, from our present advices,
we are led to believe that the assembage of farm
ers and planters, and Of distinguished strangers
from moat OF the States of the Union, will be
greater than upon any former occasion here or
elsewhere. We therefore say to the agricultural
Implement makers and Mechanics the United States,
make it matter of pride to display your machi-
merry at our exhibition, and vie with each other in
having the best and largest assortment on the
ground. Such ambition is laudable--is worthy OF
American genius, and should be cherished by the

tic animals in their highest perfection; in short,
the pictorial feature of the book is unique, and
