DRACTICE in Ins supreme Court of
u United States, and in the Courts of the Dis
trict of Columbia and attend promptly to all
claims against the United States, or Foreign Gov
ernments.
Sir ;-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 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 modification of the laws relat-
ing to contracts for carrying the mail, so to au-
thorize the Post Office Department to contract fol
the perpetual use Of Rail Roads, and, instead Of
paying, AS now, quarterly on contracts for fom
years, to advance in FIVE per cent. bonds Of the
United States, chargeable upon the revenues Of
the Post Office Departmental amount, the int,
rest upon which at per cent. would equal II 3
payments now made.
The government now pays $500 per mile for
carrying the mail on first class Railroads. This
is per cent. on $1,000 The undersigned would
urge that, instead of paying $500 mile, per an
mum, the Department should deliver, on acontract
perpstuity, 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 u
fewyears,p otthe Bonds, and give the use ofsuch
roads forever thereafter, free Of all charge there
by effecting vast saving on the present annual
expenditures of the Pot 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. For
instance, such contract would give to the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company more than
81, 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 OIL
the measure F; and respectfully suggest the pro-
prety of your sending one 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 ofbrngng the
subject before Congress.
| Hoping to hear from you at your earliest con
venience, We are, respectfully, your ob't serv't.

tic animals in their highest perfection; in short,
the pictorial feature of the book is unique, and

Of agriculture.
The work is being published in sem-monthly
| numbers of ga pages each, exclusive OF the Steel
engravings, and is sold at IS cents each, or IS for

n STATE AGRICULTURAL SocIETY.-We desire
that YOU should bear in mind, that on the 23d,
GATH and 25th days Of October, your Society will
hold it's annual Exhibition aud Fair al the city Of
Baltimore and we appeal to you, one and all, to
bring for exhibition thereat portions of your stock
the products of your orchards and Of your gardens
Don 7 presume that any animal, or product, you
NAV own is inferior to others that will be here,
and be thus deferred from bringing them, as 1t is
only by comparison that the relative merits ofany
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
competition If defeated honoraby, and the high
haracter of the judges is a 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
,oives and daughters to bring whatever appertains
to their peculiar departments as embroidery, mousse
hold ,nanuactres the proatcts Of the dairy and Of
the poultry yard, preserves domestic ,u,'aes conec-
fioes and above all things to come thensetues, as
,citho,t ,oon,a and the beautiful celebrations Of he
aste and genius, no display con be perfect
To the Manufacturers 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 fthe United States,
make it matter of pride to display your mach-
nery 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.
