Sin :-A1er consulting many persons interested in
the principal Rail Roads 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 will enable them 10 serve
persons desiring to invest in Railroad securities
or to procure information ofany matters conn ected
with the construction and administration Of Rail
Roads. They also propose, especially, to urge
upon Congress modification of the laws reat
ng-o 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 Of
paying, as now, quarterly on contracts for foui
years, to advance in five per cent. bonds Of tho
United States, chnrgeable upon the revenues Of
the Post Office Departmental amount, he int
rest upon which at . per cent. would equal II 2
payments now made.
The government now pays $500 per mile for
carrying the mail on first class Rail Roads. This
is per cent. on $4,000. The undersigned would
urge that, instead ofpaying $500 mile, per an
mum, the DEPARTING nt should deliver, on acontract
n perpetuity, five 81 900 bonds, bearing an 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, and the $50 per mile
saved would create sinking fund which will, in a
fewyears pay offthe Bonds and give the ofauch
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 than
50, 900 900, which would enable that complete its
road at early day, and greatly increase its bust
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
pensation, partly contingent upon the success Of
the measure; and respectfully suggest the pro
prety 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
venience, we are, respectfully, your obj serv't

bring for exhibition thereat portions of your stock
The products Of your orchards, and Of your gardems0
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, 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: if 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.

as are properly in your department, we crave per-
mission to solicit your interest, to induce your
,ciues and daughters to bring whatever apperains
to their peculiar departments, embroidery, no,tse-
hold manufactures, the proaisefs Of the dairy and Of

To the .ran,jaefurers Of agricultural Implements

otsm both combine to enjoin upon you the pro
priety Of making grand exhibition of your ma

implement makers and Mechanics ofe United States
make it a 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
