II United States, ana in the Courts Of the Dis
trict Of Columbia and attend promptly to all

ernments.
Sir :-Aiter consulting many persons interested in
the principal Railroads in the United States, the
undersigned prcpose To establish agencies in this
city and in New York, for the purpose of collect
ing full and authentic RAILROAD statistics and
such other information as will enable them serve
persons desiring to invest in RAILROAD securities,
or to procure information ofany matters connected
with the construction and administration Of Raj.
Roads. They also propose, especially, TO urge
upon Congress modification of the laws relat-
ing to contracts for carrying the mail 80 as to au-
thorize the Post Office Department to contract fo
the perpetual use of Rail Roads, and, instead OF
paying, as now, quarterly on contracts for fou
years, to advance in Ave per cent. bonds of the
United States, chargeabe upon the revenues OF
the Post Office Departmen,,an amount, the int
rest upon which at per cent. would equal Il G
payments now made. sd
The government now pays 5000 per mile for
carrying the mail on first class Railroads. 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
n perpetuity five 900 bonds, bearing an inte
rest OF five per centum. AT this rate the charge
to $3.50 mile, per annum, and the $50 per mile
saved would create sinking fund which will, in a
fewyears, offthe Bonds and give theuse ofsuch
roads forever thereafter, free Of all charge there
by effecting vast saving on the present annual
expenditures of the Pc Office Department, and
a consequent reduction of the rates of postage. .
The effect will be no less advantageous to Rail
Road Companies than to the government. Fol
instance, such contract would give to the Balti
more and Ohio Railroad Company more thar
81, 900 900, which would enable that complete its
road at an early day, and greatly increase its bust
ness and profits. M
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
pensaion, 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 ofbrnging the
subject before Congress.
Hoping to hear from you at your earliest con
venience, we are, respectfully, your ob't serv't.

IA STATE AGRICULTURAL SocIETy.--W desire
that you should bear in mind, that on the 23d,
oath, and 25th days Of October, your Society will
hold its annual Exhibition and Fair at the cifu of
Baltimore and we appeal to you, 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 is 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 defeated honorably, and the high
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.
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 appertains
to their peculiar departments, as enbroidery aouse-
hold manufactures, the prou,scfs Of the dairy and Of
the poultry yard preserves domestic toiss, c0,tec
lions, and, above all things, to come themselves,
,ofhout ,oonai, and the beautiful celebrations of her
asfe and genius. no display can be perfect.
To the manufacturers Of agricultural Implements
aud 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, az from our present advices,
we are led to believe that the assemblage of farm
srs 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-
merry at our exhibition, and vie with each other in
having the best and largest assortment ON the
ground. Such ambition is laudable--is worthy Of
American genius, and should be cherished by the
American heart. ~ 5tl 4@7b.. az
