II STATE AGRICULTURAL SoCIETY.-We desire
that you should bear in mind, that on the 23d,
oath, and 25th days of October, your Society will
hold it's 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 rs 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
ompetition: II defeated honoraby, 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-
lied 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
,oives and daughters to bring whatever appertains
to their peculiar departments, as embroidery, no,tse-
hold manufactures, the proacs Of the dairy and Of
the poultry yard, preserves domestic ioines corec-
tons and above all things, to come themselves, as
lc,thout ,oona,,, and the beautiful Celebrations Of her
aste and genius, no display can be perfect.
To the Manufacturers If 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, as 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 ofthe United States,
make il matter of pride to display your machi-
nery at our exhibition, and vie with each other in

SsR :-Afler consulting many persons interested in
the principal Rail-Roads in the United States, the
undersigned prrposs TO establish agencies in ths
city and in New York, for the purpose Of collect
ing full and authentic RAILROAD 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 Rail.
Roads. They also propose, especially, to urge
upon Congress- a modification OF the laws relat-
ing to contracts for carrying the mail, no to
the perpetual use Of Rail Roads, and, instead Of
paying, as how, quarterly on contracts for foui
years, to advance in Eve per cent. bonds of tn.
United Suites, chargeabls upon the revenues OF
the Post Office Departmental amount, the int.
rest upon which Al per cent. w'sul6 equal II 8
payments now made.
The government now pays $500 per mile for
carrying tho mail on first class Railroads. This
il per cent. on $1,000. The undersigned would
urge that, instead Of paying $500 mile, per AN
mum, the Department should deliver, on acontract
perpetuity FIVE 81 900 bonds, bearing an nts
rest Of FIVE per centum. At this rate thu charge
upon the Department would be reduced from $500
to $3.50 mile, per annum, ana the $5O per mile
saved would create sinking fund which will, in
fewy pay ofIths Bonds and give the ofsuch
roads forever thereafter, free of all charge there
by effecting vast saving on the present annual
expenditures of the Pc Office Department, and
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 Bati-
more and Ohio Railroad Company more than
81, 900 900, 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-
prety 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.
venence, we are, respectfully, your obj servt.
