Visit to a Mummy Pit.

We had been wandering for more than an
hour in low subterranean passages, and ieit
considerably fatigued by the irksomeness OF
posture in which we had been obliged to move,
and the heat of our torches in those narrow and
low galleries. But the Arabs spoke so conf
IDENTITY of succeeding in this second trial, that
we were induced once more to attend them.
We found the opening of the chamber which
we now approached guarded BY trench OF
nnknown depth, and wide enough to require a
GOOD lean. The first Arab jumped the ditch
and we all followed him. The passage we en-
tered was extremely small, and SO low in some
places as to oblge us to crawl hat on the
ground, and almost always on our hands ana
Knees. The intricacies of its windings resem-

November /, 1853
TTHAs BEENLONG THE PRACTICE
of this Office TO pay the drafts drawn and nego-
tiated by contractors for carrying the United
States mails for the amounts, respectively, OF their
quarterly paw It was established to accommo-
date the contractors and meet their necessities, in
advance of the regular and slower process OF pay
ing by the drafts or warrants OF the department,
and was intended only to apply to one draft per
route from each contractor for the aohok amount,
(deducting ines collections, &c,) Of his quarterly
pay but il has been, and is quite generally so
misunderstood, as TO be supposed to allow any
number Of drafts, and for any amount, not exceed
ngin the aggregate, the contract pay for the quar-
ter. A privilege conceded for accommodation Qor
il was never anything more) has thus been made
10 embarrass materially the business of this Office,
forced upon il the settlement of the private ac-
counts Of contractors, and thrown upon the ex-
changes OF the country, with quasi sanction OF
this Office a species of paper currency unauthor-
lied by the laws.
1t not unfrequently occurs, too, that this Office is
exposed 10 great and unnecessary risk in deter
mining upon the genuneness of the signatures TO
the assignments or endorsements of the various
persons through whose hands these drafts are
made to pass before their presentation.
1t is therefore deemed proper to give this public
notice to contractors, and all concerned, that from
and after the 1st day of January, 1854, but one
be payed or filed for payment, in this Office. This
draft should state upon its face, that IS the only
one for the quarter and the route (both to be speci-
fed) on which it is drawn and the signature there
to should be attested By the postmaster at the place
1chere it man be dravn and other aoiness; and
each assignment thereof should be attested BY too
