SIR AFTER consulting many persons interested in
the principal RAILROADS 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,
OF 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 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 CT
paying, ais now, quarterly on contracts for four
years, to advance in five per cent. bonds OF the
United States, chargeable upon the revenues or
the Post Office Department,an amount, the int
rest upon which at 8 per cent. would equal II :
payments now made.
The government now pays $500 per mile for
carrying the mail first class RAILROADS.. This
is per cent. on 5000. 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 int
rest of five per ceDum. AT this rate the charge
upon the Department would be reduced from $500
TO SOU a mile, per dnnunls anu tnc $0U per Hiiic
saved would create sinking fund which will, in a
fewyears, pay ofthe Bonds, and give the use ofauch
roads forever thereafter free OF all charge there
by etfecting vast saving the present annual
expenditures Of the Pc Office Department, and
u 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
so, 900 ,000 which would enable that complete its
road at early day. and greatly increase its BUSH
ness and profits.
But to meet objections and impress the public
! mind with proper 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-
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 Of bringing the
subject before Congress.
| Hoping to hear from you at your earliest con
venience, we are, respectfully, your ob't serv't.

n STATE AGRICULTURAL SocIETY.--W desire
that you should bear in mind, that on the ODD
2ith and 18th days Of October, your Society will
hold its annual Exhibition and Fair al the cfu OF
Baltimore and we appeal to you, and all, to
bring for exhibition thereat portions of your stock
the products of yo,n orchards, and of uour gardens
Don't presume that any animal, product, you
may own is inferior to others that will be here,
and be thus deferred from bringing them, az 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 If defeated honoraby, and the high
harhcter 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.
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
,oipes and daughters to bring whatever appertans
to their peculiar departments embroidery, house
hold manufactures the proares Of the dairy and Of
the poultry yard, preserves domestic oines, conjec-
lions, and above all things to come themselves, as
ost.ou aoopan, and the beautiful Celebrations of he
aste and genius, no display can be perfect.
To the Manutacturers Of 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, 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 Of the United States,
make it matter of pride to display your machi-
merry at our exhihition and vie with each other in
having the best and largest assortment on the
ground. Such ambition is laudabe--is worthy of
American genius, and should be cherished by the
American heart.
