gUNHE undersigned, a committee of publication, on
III the part Of the Muscogee and Russell Agricu
tural Society, respectfully invite public attention
to the following prospectus of MONTHLY
JOURNAL, to Be published in this city under the
auspices OF the above named association.
The work will be devoted to the interests of Ag-
riculture and Horticulture, Domestic and Rural
Economy Under these several heads will be in
cuded all that concerns the culture of crops, the
improvement of the soil, the management Of the
farm, the garden, the orchard, the flower yard /,
and the house-keeper's department. In their con-
nexion with the interests Of the soil, the other in
dusrial pursuits of the land, will receive their ap
propIiate attention.
The "SOIL OF THE SOUTH" will be under
the editorial supervision of CHARLES A. PEABODY
ESQ. and Col. JAMES M. CHAMBERS. Mr.. Peabody
has been for two years past connected with the
Agricultural Press, and is equally distinguished as
q practical and scientific farmer and gardener
Col. Chambers is one Of the most intelligent and
successful planters in the South. They will be

ernments.
Sin AFTER consulting many persons interested in
the principal Railroads in the United States, the
undersigned purpose to establish agencies in this
city and in New York, for the purpose Of collect
ing full and authentic Rail-Road statistics and
such other information a. 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 q modification Of the laws relat
ing to contracts for carrying the mail, so to
thorizs the Post Office Department to contract 70,
the perpetual use Of Rail- Roads, and, instead Of
years, to advance in 1--WE per cent. bonds Of the
United States, chargeabls upon the revenues Of
the Post Office Departmental amount, the inte
rest upon which at per cent would equal II g
payments now made.
The government now pays $500 per mile fer
carrying the mail on first class Railroads. This
is per cent. on 5000. The undersigned would
urge that, instead of paying, 1900 mile, per an
mum, the Department should deliver, on acontract
perpstuity five vi 900 bonds, bearing an int
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 mile
saved would create sinking fund which will, in Il
fewyears pay othe Bonds and give the use ofauch
roads forever thereafter free of all charge there
by etfecting vast saving the present annual
expenditures of the Pc Office Department, and
a consequent reduction Of the rates Of postage
The effect will be no less advantageous to Rail
Road Companies than to the government. FoI
instance such contract would give to the Balti
more and Ohio Railroad Company more than
AZ, 900 900, which would enable that complete lit
road at early day, and greatly increase its bust
meas 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 actor
and continued active effort, through the press and
otherwise. The undersigned tender their services
to your Company, expecting reasonable com
pensation, partly contingent upon the success o.
the measure 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 ofbrjnging the
subject before Congress.
Hoping to hear from you at your earliest con
venience, we are, respectfully, your obi serv't

A PPEAL TO THE MEMBERS OF THE MARYLAND
II STATE AoRrcULrURAL SocIETr.-We desire
that you should bear in mind, that on the 23d,

hold its annual Exhibition aud Fair at the city Of
Baltimore and we appeal to you, one and all, to
bring for exhibition thereat portions Of your stock
the products Of your orchards, and Of you, garenss
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 ia
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
competition: If defeated honorably, and the high
haracter of the Judges is a guarantee that you
an be defeated in no other way, you will enjoy
he luxury Of knowing that others were more EN-
led to success than yourself
And while we address you to bring such articles
as are properly in your department, we crave per-
mission to solicit your interest, to induce your
oipes and daughters to bring whatever appertail's
to their peculiar departments as embroidery, notase
hold manufactures, The PRODUCTS of the dairy and Of
the poultry yard, preserves, domestic 'oines confec-
tions and above all things to come themselves, as

To the Manufacturers Of agricultural implements
and Tools, we would say, that interest and patri-
otism both combine to en]oin upon you the pro
prety Of making grand exhibition of your ma
chinery of all kinds, from our present advices,
we are led to believe that the assemblage 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
implement makers and Mechanics Of the United States,
make il matter of pride to display your machi-
nerv 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
