Sin latter consulting many persons interested in
the principal hail-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 10 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, 50 to
thorize the Post Office Department. to contract for
the perpetual use Of Rail. Roads, and, instead Of
paying, ss now, quarterly on contracts for four
years, TO advance IN i've per cent. bonds OF the
United Suites, chargeable upon the revenues Of
the Post Ofice Department, an, amount, the inte-
rest upon which at 6 per cent. would equal the
payments now made.
carrying the mail on first class Railroads. This
is per cent. on 5000. The undersigned would
urge that, instead Of paying 1900 mile, per an
mum, the Department should deliver, on acontract
perpstuity five III 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 the $50 per mile
| saved would create sinking fund which will, in
fewy pay ofthe Bonds and give theuse 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 For
instance, such contract would give to the Bati-
more and Ohio Railroad Company more than
81, 900 ,O00 which would snable that complete it's
road early day, and greatly increase its busi-
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
| pensaton, partly contingent upon the success or
the measure (; and respectfully suggest the pro-
prety Of your sending ons or more delegates to
| this city, on the first Wednesday IN December
next. to confer with delegates from other Rail
Road Companies, 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.
venence we are, respectfully, your ob't serv't.

~ STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. w desire
that you should bear in mind, that ON the 23d,
oath, and 25th days Of October, your Society will
hold it's annual Exhibition and Fair at 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't presume that any animal, or 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 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
that it behooves you to gaiantly enter the list OF
competition if defeated honorably, 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 departments we crave per-
mission to solicit your interest, to induce your
loiues and daughters to bring whatever appertains
to their peculiar departments, embroidery, nottse
hold manufactures the proa,ets Of the dairy and o.
the poultry yard, preserves, domestic ,otnes cof3ec-
to,,s and above all things, to come Themselves, as
o,trou ,pon,an, and the beautiful Celebrations of her
asie and genius, no display can be perfect
To the Manufacturers Of agricultural Implements
and Tools, we would say, that interest and patri-
otism both combine to enJoln 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 assemblage 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 othe United States,
make it a matter of pride to display your machi-
nery at our exhibition, and vie with each other in
having the best and largest assortment on the
ground Such ambition is laudahle--is worthy OF
American genius, and should be cherished by the
American heart.

fer favor by copying this notice.
