YuNHE undersigned, a committee of publication, on
IL the part Of the Muscogee and Russell Agricul
tural Society, respectfully invite public attention
to the following prospectus Of a MONTHLY
JOURNAL, to be published in this city under the
auspices Of the above named association.
The work will be devoted to the interests Of .4g-
ric,tlsure and Horticulture, Domestic and R,srat
Economy. Under these several heads will be in
cluded all that concerns the culture of crops, the
Improvement of the soil, the management OF the
farm, the garden, the orchard, the flower yard,
and the house keeper department In their CON
nex;on with the interests of the soil, the other in
du5uial pursuits of the land, will receive their ap
prupIiate attention.
The "SOlL OF THE SOUTH" will be under
the editorial supervision of CHARLES A. PEABODY
esq. and Col JAMES M CHAMBERS. MIR. Peabody
has been for two years past connected with the
Agricultural Press, and is equally distinguished
a practical and scientific farmer and gardener
Col Chambers is one Of the most intelligent and
successful planters in the South. They will be
assisted by able corps OF contributors, among
the practical farmers and planters of the land.

DRACTlCE in the Supreme Court of
u United States, ana IN the Courts of the Dis
trct Of Columbia ana attend promptly to all
claims against the United States, or Foreign Gov
ernments
Sir later 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 Rail Road securities,
or to procure information ofnny 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, to au-
thorize the Post Office Department to contract fo
the perpetual use Of Railroads, and instead CT
paying, az now, quarterly on contracts for fou
years, to advance in five per cent bonds of tn.
United States, chargeable upon the revenues OF
the Post Office Departmental amount, the int
rest upon which al 6 per cent. would equal II 3
payments now made.
The government now pays $500 per mile for
carrying the mail on first class RaI-Roads. 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
perpetuty, five III 900 bonds, bearing an lutte
rest Of five per centum. A thus 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 a sinking fund which will in a
fewyears oilthe Bonds and give the use ofauch
roads forever thereafter, free Of all charge there
by eiiecting vast saving on 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. Fol
instance, such contract would give to the Balt
more and Ohio Railroad Company more thar
81, 900 ,000 which would enable that complete its
road at an early day, and greatly increase its bust
ness and profits.
But to meet objections and impreBs 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.
pensaton, 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 ofbrngns the
subject before Congress
Hoping to henr from you at your earliest con
venience, we are, respectfully, your ob't serv't.
