HyHE undersigned, a committee of publication, on
Il the part of the Muscogee and Russell Agrcul-

JOURNAL, to be published in this city under the

The work will he devoted to the interests of Ag-

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 Rail Road 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 aud administration of Raj.
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-
thorize the Post Office Department to contract fol-
the perpetual use of Rail Roads, and, instead Of
paying, as now, quarterly on contracts for foui
years, TO advance in five per cent. bonds of the
United sthtes, chargeable upon the revenues OF
the Post Office Departmental amount, the int.
rest upon which at 6 per cent. would equal IL g
payments now made.
The government now pays $500 per mile fer
carrying the mail on first class Rail Roads THIS
is 6 per cent. on $4,000. The undersigned would
urge that, instead of paying $500 mile, per an-
mum, the Department should deliver, on acontract
perpetuty, five 81 900 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 a
fewyears pay ofthe Bonds, and give the use OF such
roads forever thereafter free of all charge there
by etfectng vast saving on the present asnual
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 Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company more than
50, 600 900, which would enable that complete its
road at early day, and greatly increase its busi-
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
pensalion, partly contingent upon the success OF
the measure and respectfully suggest the pro-
pr,ety of your sending more delegates to
this city, on the first "Wednesday in December
next, to confer with delegates from other Rail-
Road Companies, 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 obi servt.

MEMORIAL.
ITO the Senate and House Of Representatives ofthe
United States in Congress assembled: The memo
rial of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
thew are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
of 18th Of September, 1850, that they are informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
that they do not expect or desire to reside 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 memorialists further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assum si
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands, are not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many of them are among the most intel
gent and respectable citizens of the States They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be so modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignabe, and they will ever
pray, &c.
