SIR :-After consulting many persons Interested in
the principal Rail-Roads in the Unitsd States, the
prcposs to es nblish agencies in THE
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 Rail Road securities,
or to procure information ofaIy matters connected
with the construction and administration of Rail-
Roads. They also propose, especially, 10 urge
upon Congress modification Of the laws reatr
ing to contracts for carrying the mail, 10 N au-
thorize the Post Office Department to contract foI
the perpetual use Of Rail. Roads, and instead Of
paying, az now, quarterly on contracts for fow
years, to advance in Ave per cent. bonds Of the
United States, chargeable upon the revenues OF
the Post Office Departmsntsan amount, tina inte.
rest upon which At Per csat. would equal tie
payments now made.
The government now pays $500 per mile fol
carrying the mail on first class allRoads. This
is 6 per cent. on $4,000. The undersigned would
urge that, instead of paying $500 mile, per an
mum, the Department should deliver, ON acontract
perpetuty, five al 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
ewyears pay oiithe Bonds and give the use ofsuch
roads forever thereafter, free of all charge there
by efecting vast saving on the present annua
expenditures of the Pc Office Department, ant
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 BaIti
more and Ohio Railroad Company more than
S2, 900 900, which would enable that complete its
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 actor
and continued active effort, through the press
otherwise. The undersigned tender their service
to your Company, expecting reasonable com
pensation, partly contingent upon the success o
the measure I; and respectfully suggest the pro
priety of your sending one more delegates t.
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 arrang ement and the best mode ofbringing tn,
subject before Congress: =
Hoping to hear from you at your earliest con

haying, harvesting, &C., &C., the various domes-
tic animals in their highest perfection; in short,
the pictorial feature of the book is unique, and
