Sin 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 Railroad 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 a modification Of the laws relat-
ing TO contracts for carrying the MALL SO az to au-
thorize the Post Office Department TO contract foI
the perpetual use OF Raj. Roads, and, instead Il
paying, as now, quarterly on contracts for fom
years, 10 advance ~ FIVE per cent. bonds Of the
United Suites, chargenble upon the revenues Of
the Post Office Department. an amount, the int.
rest upon which at per cent. would equal u e
payments now made.
The government now pays $500 per mile for
carrying the mail on first class Railroads. This
is 6 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 81, 900 bonds, bearing an inie
rest Of FIVE per centum. At this rate the charge
upon the Department would be reduced from 500

by effecting a vast saving on the present annual
expenditures Of the Pc Office Department, and
a consequent reduction Of the rates or 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
A., 900 900, which would enable that complete it's
road at an early day, and greatly increase its bus-
mes. 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-
priety Of your sending one or more delegates to
this city, on the fret "Wednesday in December
next, 20 confer with delegates from other Rail
Road Companies, as 10 the details OF the propos-
ed arrangement and the best mode ofbringing the
subject before Congress.
Should il be your pleasure to accept Of our
services in this matter, we will promptly attend
to al other business, which you, or your Com
papy, NAV have with the Post Office Department,
or other branch Of the government.

THE public will be gratifed to learn that the
/ United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abled TO announce that their arrangements are now
complete for sending passengers through from
New York 10 San Francisco and back.
In the first attempts OF this Company TO meet
the wants Of travel to California, by providing
ships on the Pacific, in connection with their
ships from New York 10 Chagres, they were pre-
vailed upon, AT the urgent solicitation Of the great
number then DESTROYS 10 60 out, 10 sell tickets for
through passages from Panama in advance, for
their ships then going round This was done
from desire 10 accommodate those who could
procure passages in no other quarter, and by
which, whatever might he the detention, they
would reach San Francisco sooner than by any
other line Unforeseen difficulties, and the preya-
ence Of fever at Rio de Janeiro mt the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama ms soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the 18TH
mus, which was increased by the impotence Of
passengers in going forward, against the advice
Of the Company, at an earlier day than the ship
could possibly reach Panama.
,These Interruptions are now all removed.
Three Of the four ships Of the Company, intended
for the Pacific service, have arrived at Panama,
and several Of them have performed trips to San
Francisco and back. So that the Company are
now able 10 give the public the assurance that the
voyage through from New York 10 San Fran
cisco, will be performed with regularity and des.
| patch.
Their Pacific Line, from Panama to San Fran.

The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up, so that no delay
beyond the usual stay Of the ship in port at Pana-
ma, will arise.
The large size, well known speed, and superior
accommodations Of their New York and Chasres
Line, and the speed and accommodations Of the
ships Of their Pacific Line offer the most certain,
rapid, and pleasant through passage TO California
