the salaries OF officers Of the territories OF the
UntedStates," and TO repeal the prov so in the ac
entitled an "act making appropriations for the ciyl
and Diplomatic expenses for the government for
the year ending the 30th Of June, 1852, and foI
other purposes, ;" approved March 3, 1851.
The debate on this bill was continued this
morning on sundry ame endments which were Of
fered. and after amending the bill, the committee
ordered il TO be laid aside TO be reported to The
House with the recommendation that IL pass.
The bill TO run and establish the boundary be
tween the State Of Texas and the territories o
the United States was then taken up.
On motion Of Mr. RicHARpsoS the sum To car.
nv out the object OF the bill was fixed at $3.50 !
he stating that this amount would do for present
purposes, but that il would require S2ll 200 tc
complete the whole survey.
The bill was laid aside to be reported TO th,
House, with the recommendation that i pass.
TIE committee next took up the bill making
further appropriations for the construction OF GER
tain roads in the territory Of Minnesota.
A very lengthy debate entued on this bill, when
!, was laid aside to be reported 10 the House with
the recommendation that il do pass
The bill relinquishing to the territory OF Ne"

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 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 relat-
ing to contracts for carrying the mail, as to
thorze the Post Office Department to contract for
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
F, United States, chargeabe upon the revenues Of
the Post Office Department, AN amount, the inte
rest upon which at per cent. would equal Il e
payments now made
The government now pays $500 per mile for
carrying the mail on first class Railroads. This
is per cent. on $1,000. The undersigned would
urge that, instead of paying $500 mile, per an
mum, the Department should deliver, on acontract
n perpetuity, five 3 900 bonds, bearing 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, ana the sou per mile
saved would create sinking fund which will, in Il
fewyea pay otfthe Bonds and give the use ofauch
roads forever thereafter, free Of all charge there
| by etlecting vast saving on the present annual
| cx penditures Of the Po 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
A., 900 900, which would enable that complete it's
road at all 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 CON-
pensation, partly contingent upon the success oil
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.
venence, we are, respectfully, your obt servt.

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.

as are properly in your department, we crave per-
mission TO solicit your interest, TO induce your
vipes and daughters TO bring whatever appertalns
to their peculiar departments, as embroidery mouse
hold manufactures, the proulets Of the dairy and
the poultry yard, preserves, domestic ,oines eoree

s.a Tools, we would say, that interest and nstri
otism both combine to enjoin upon you the pro
priety of making grand exhibition Of your ma
