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 Rail- Road statistics and
such other information as will enable them TO
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 relat-
ing to contracts for carrying the mail, so as to au-
thorize the Post Office Department to contract for
the perpetual use Of Rail Roads, and, instead Of
paying, MS now, quarterly on contracts for fom
years, 10 advance in five per cent. bonds of the
United States, chargeable upon the revenues OF
the Post Office Department,an amount, the int
rest upon which at per cent. would equal II 2
payments now made.
The government now pays $500 per mile for
carrying the mail on first class Railroads. This
is per cent. on $4,000. 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 ine
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 .
fewy otfthe Bonds and give theuse ofsucf
roads forever thereafter, free Of all charge there
by effecting vast saving the present annua
expenditures of the Pc Office 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
| 50, 900 900, which would enable that complete IL
road at an early day, and greatly increase its bust
ness and profits.
| But to meet objections and impress the pubi
mind with a proper sense of the benefits to result
| from this measure will require concert of actor
and continued active effort, through the press nnt
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
prety of your sending one or more delegates &c
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 III,
subject before Congress.
Hoping to hear from you at your earliest con
venience, we are, respectfully, your obi serv't.

cultural work, called the
GARNER 5 GUIDE TO SCIENTIFIC AND PRAcrcAL
AGRICULTURE,
By HENRY STEPHENS, F. r. S., of Edinburgh, au-
thor of the Book Of the Farm, &C., &C.; assisted
by JOHN p. NoRroN, M A, New Haven Professor
of Scientific Agriculture in Yale College, &C., Go
This highly valuable work will comprise two
large royal octave volumes, containing over 400
pages, with Is or 90 splendid steel engravings,
and more than 600 engravngs on wood in the
highest style of the art, illustrating almost every
implement of husbandry now in use by the best
farmers, the best methods of ploughing, planting,
haying, harvesting, &C., &C., the various domes-
tic animals in their highest perfection; III short,
the pictorial feature of the book is unique, and
will render it Of incalculabe value to the student
of agriculture.
The work is being published in semi-monthly
numbers of GA pages each, exclusive Of the Stee
engravings and is sold at % cents each, or SIS for
the entire work in numbers, Of which there will be
at least twenty-five.
The British Periodicals re-published are as fol
lows, viz
LONDON SSUAHTEhLf
Tue EDINBURGH REVIEW (Whig),
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW free Church),
THE WEsTmISsTER REVIEW (Liberal.)
BLAcKwooD's EDINBURGH MAGAZINE (Tory).
Although these works are distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but small
portion of their contents devoted to political SUBJ
jects. 1t is their literary character which gives
them their chief value, and in that they stand con
fessedly far above all other journals ofther class
Blackloood, still under the mastery guidance OF
Christopher North, mantars its ancient celebrity,
and is, at this time, unusually attractive, from the
serial works of Buwer and other literary notables,
written for that magazine, and first appearing in
its columns both in Great Britain and in the United
States. Such works as "The Caxtons' and an
New Novel" (both by Bulwer,) "My Peninsular
Medal, ""The Green Hand" and other serials,
of which numerous rival editions are issued by the
leading publishers in this country, have to be ref
printed by those publishers from the pages
