San :-After consulting many persons interested ~
the principal Rail- Roads in the United States, the
undersigned prrpOse TO establish agencies thss

ing full and authentic ail-Rosd statistics aud
such other information a. will enable them serve
persons desiring to invest in Rail Road securities,
or to procure Information ofany matters connected
with the construction and administration Of Rail
Roads. They also propose, especially. 70 urge
upon Congress modification Of the laws reiat-
ing to contracts for carrying the mail, ~ " AN
thorize the Post Office Department TO contract & Z
the perpetual use Of Rail. Roads. and, instead q,
paying, as now, quarterly on contracts for fou
years, 10 advance in five per cent. bonds OF the
United States, chargsable upon tho revenues Of
the Post Office Departmeutsan amount. the int
rest upon which At per cent. would equal II )
payments now made.
The government now pays $500 per mile tx
carrying tbs mail on 6rst class Railroads. This
il pek cent, on $1,000, The undersigned would
-. sn s.Ssa ds sSc pss
perpetuity, FIVE 81 900 bonds, bearing an int
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 tho $50 per mile
saved would create sinking fund which will, in a
fewyears pay oifthe 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 Pc Office Department, and
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 a contract would give to the Bali
more and Ohio Railroad Company more thar
~, 900 900, which would enable that complete it,
road at an 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 o.
the measure and respectfully suggest the pro
priety Of your sending one or more delegates to
this city, on the first "Wednesday in Decembel
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.

To The Senate and House Of Representatives. oPths
United States in Congress assembled: The memo
rial of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
they are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
of 18th Of September, 1850, that they are informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
that they do not expect or desire to reside on the
land thus granted; that if patented TO them, the
expense Of agencies and taxes will be an annual
charge, reducing the value of the grant, which
thew could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memorialists further represent that the law
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assum q
that the officers and volunteers entitled TO bounty
lands, are not competent to act for themselves
whereas many of them among the most intel
ligen and respectable citizens of the States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be SO modified as to make the warrants fol
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray, &c. .sua
