ernments.
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 as 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 Rail
Roads. They also propose, especially, to urge
upon Congress modification Of the laws reat-
ing contracts for carrying the mail, to
thorize the Post Office Department to contract for
the perpetual use of Rail Roads, and, instead Ct
paying, AZ now, quarterly on contracts for foG,
years, to advance in FIVE per cent bonds of the
United States, chargeable upon the revenues OF
the Post Office Departmen,,an amount, the intc
rest upon which at per cent. would equal Il c
payments now made.
The government now pays $500 per mile for
carrying the mail on first class Rail Roads. This
is per cent. on IS, 900. The undersigned would
urge that, instead of paying $500 mile, per an
mum, the Department should deliver, acontract
n perpetuity five III 900 bonds, bearing an inte
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 a
fewyears pay otthe Bonds and give the use ofsuch
roads forever thereafter, free Of all charge there
by effecting vast saving the present annual
ex penditures Of the Pc Office Department. and
u consequent reduction of the rates of postage
The effect will be no less advantageous to Rail
Road Companies than to the government. For
instance such contract would give to the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company more than
AZ, 900 600, which would enable that complete its
road at an early day, and greatly increase its BUSH
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 and
otherwise. The undersigned tender their services
to your Company, expecting reasonable COM
pensation, partly contingent upon the success OF
the measure and respectfully suggest the pro-
priety of your sending one 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 ofbringinS the
subject before Congress.
Hoping to hear from you at your earliest con.
venience, we are, respectfully, your obl servt.

THIRD ANNUAL EXHIBITION
THE

Mo ryland state Agricultural Society.
A PPEAL TO THE MEMBERS OF THE MARYLAND
n STATE AGRICULTURAL SocIETY.-We desire
that you should bear in mind that the Odd,
oath, and 25th days Of October, your Society will
hold its annual Exhibition and 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 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 il 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
that it behooves you to calamity enter the list Of
competition if defeated honoraby, and the high
haracter 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
properly in your department, we crave per-
mission to solicit your interest, to induce your
,oiues and daughters to bring whatever appertains
to their peculiar departments, as embroidery, mousse
hold manufactures the products Of the dairy and Of
the poultry yard preserves. domestic tcincs, conec-
lions, and, above all things, to come themselves,
WITHOUT wonan aud the beautiful celebrations Of he,
aste and genius. no display can be perfect.
To the Manufacturers Of agricultural Implements
and Tools, we would say, that interest and patri-
otism both combine to enjoin upon you the pro
| priety 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
elsewhere. We therefore say the agricultural
Implement makers and Mechanics Of the United States,
make it a 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 laudabe-is worthy of
American genius, and should be cherished by the
| American heart.

| fer favor by copying this notice.
