nRACTlCE in the Supreme Court OF
United States, and IN the Courts OF the DIS
trics Of Columbia anu attend promptly to all
claims against the United States, or Foreign Gov
erpmenis.
S,R :-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 RAILROAD securities
Or 10 procure information ofany matters connected
with the construction and administration of hal,-
Roads. They also propose, especially, to urge
upon Congress modification of the laws relat-
ing to contracts for carrying the mall so as to a'i-
thorixe the Post Office Department to contract ioI
the perpetual use Of Railroads, and, instead 81
paving rs now, quarterly on contracts for foui
years, to advance in five per cent. bonds OF the
United StGtes, chargeabIe upon the revenues OF
the Post Office Departmental amount, the 'n,e'
rest upon which at per cent. would equal u
payments now made
The government now pays $500 per mile for
carving the mail on first class Railroads 1his
10 6 per cent. on $4,000. The undersigned would
urge that, instead of paying $500 mile, per an
num- the Department should deliver, on acontract
n perpetuity five al 900 bonds, bearing an inte
rest or five per centum. At this rate the charge
upou the Department would be reduced from $500
10 tQ5O a mile, per annum, and the SOU per mile
aavsd would create sinking fund which will, IN
fswyears pay ofthe Bonds, and give theuse OF such
roads forever thereafter, free of all charge there
by affecting vast saving on the present annual
ex psndtures of the Pc Office Department, and
consequent reduction of the rates of postage. :,
The effect will be no less advantageous to Ran
Road Companies than to the government FOR
instance, such a contract would give to the balti-
yaore and Ohio Railroad Company more than
t2.OQO, 900, which would enable that complete It's
road At an early day, and greatly increase lis bust
pess and profits. ~
But to meet objections and impress the public
mind with proper sense of the DEMENT'S 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
pensaiion, partly contingent upon the success OF
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 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 of any
thing can be determined. The safer presumption
for you to arrive at, will be that what you have
rs 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
an be defeated in no other way, you will enjoy
he luxury Of knowing that others more en-
lied to success than yourself.

mission to solicit your interest, to induce your
,oipes and daughters to bring whatever appertains
to their peculiar departments, embroidery mousse

the poultry yard preserves. domestic mines, contec
tions, and, above all things, to themselves,
,o,thoui loonla,, and the beautiful celebrations of he,
aste and genius, no display can be perfect
To the .Manufacfurers Of agricultural Implements
and Tools, we would say, that interest and patr-
otism both combine to enjoin 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
implement makers and Mechanics fthe 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
American heart.

MEMORIAL
To The Senate and House of Representatives opthe
United States in Congress assembled The memo
rial of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
they are entitled to Bounty Land under the act
of 28th Of September, 1850, that they are informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
that they do not expect or desire to reside on the
land thus granted; that if patented to them, the
expense of agencies and taxes will be an ANNUAL
charge, reducing the value of the grant, which
they could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memoriasts further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assumes
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands are not competent act for themselves,
whereas many of them are among the most intel
igent and respectable citizens of the States They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
NAV be so modified to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray, &c.
