NATIONAL RAILROAD CoNvENTIoS.-As far
as thas been practicable, a consultation has
been had as to the propriety and importance
of holding a National Convention of the
Presidents, Chief Engineers, and General
superintendent of all the railroads of the
United States, at Philadelphia, on the 4th
day of July, 1866, at II NJ, and this con-
sultation has resulted IN the undersigned
uniting in inviting the officers of all rail-
roads in the United States above indicated
to meet in Convention on this National
day. The immense capital invested, and
in railways, renders this one of the most
important interests of the country. 1t has
been thought that d personal interchange of
views between the chief officers Of the rail-
roads of the country, in regard to their
construction, general management, and
operation, would be productive of much
good to this interest; and with this object
in view, this Convention is called.
In such aConvention an immense amount
of valuable information will be impaired in
regard to every thing connected with rail-
road construction ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
ments in machinery and rolling stock Of
all kinds, repairs of road, the value of ad-
vertising, and travelling agents, runners and
other expenses of that class, the reforms

hoped that the assembling,ofsuch a Conven-
ton may result in establishing rules and
impartiug information that will save large
sums of money both in constructing and OPP
Grating railroads.
One of the greatest benefits to result from
the assembling of such a Convention will
be, that the chief railroad managers from
ali parts of the country will become per-
sonally acquainted. Such a mingling Of
citizens froW all parts of the Uniou can but
be productive of great good in restoring
harmony and good feeling amongstthe peo-
pie of our common country. 1t seems to
US that the assembling of such a Conven-
ton will 90 far toward obliterating the es
arrangements arising from the deplorable
past, and in again uniting all for our whole
country.
The chief officers of the railroads in the
British Provinces are invited TO meet in this
Convention, and take part in its delibera-
tons.
