NOTICE TO U. $. MAIL CONTRACTORS
AND THE PUBLIC.
AupIToR's OFFICE, PosT OFFICE DEPARTMENT,

November ], 1853.
TT HAS BEENLONG THE PRACTICE
i of this Office 10 pay the drafts drawn and nego-
tiated by contractors for carrying the United
States mails for the amounts, respectively of their
quarterly pay. II 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 achole asa0n2t
(deducting fines collections, &c., of his quarterly
pay; but it has been, and is quite generally so
misunderstood, as 10 be supposed TO allow any
number of drafts, and for any amount, not exceed
ingin the aggregate, the contract pay for the quar-
ter. A privilege conceded for accommodation (for
it was never anything more) has thus been made
TO embarrass materially the business Of this Office
forced upon it the settlement of the private ac-
counts of contractors, and thrown upon the ex-
changes OF the country, with quasi sanction OF
this office, species OF paper currency unauthor-
lied by the laws.
Ii not unfrequently occurs, too that this Office is
exposed to great and unnecessary risk in deter
mining upon the genuineness of the signatures to
the assignments or endorsements Of the various
persons through whose hands these drafts are
made to pass before their presentation.
II 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
draft for the pay upon each route per quarter will
be payed, or filed for payment, in this office. This
draft should state upon its face, that a. as tie oniy
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 tie postmaster at The place
sciere ii may be dya,on and other act7ess; and
each assignment Thereof should be aAested By t,co
acttResses.

DOCKS FOR SUBSCRIPTION TO THE
Id stock of this Company now open at the
office of ADAMS u STEVENS, 9th ST., opposite
The Patent Office, where specimens ofthe coal may
be seen. The company has $4,000 acres of anthra-
cite coal lands, lying mostly in Augusta county,
135 miles southwest of Washington city, Staunton
station, on the Virginia Central railroad, is within
eighteen miles. The Manassas Gap railroad will
reach within twelve. The Company proposes TO
build railroad 10 connect with the Virginia Cen
tral and Manassas. When this is accomplished,
il will be able put coal in this city at So per ton
thus enabling the company TO make from 50 to S4
per ton profit, and of course making il one of the
most profitable investments ever offered to the
public. The lands abound in rich stratas OF coal,
from four TO fourteen feet thick, and water free
There is also an inexhaustibe supply Of iron ore,
similar to the Scotch and Welsh ores in quality
and richness The Dora is the only anthracite
field known in the State Of Virginia, and is nearer
than any Of the Cumberland mines by more than
one hundred miles consequently it enjoys, in re-
spect to distance, advantage over any coal that
comes 10 this city. The coal is about ninety per
cent. carbon, and entirely free from sulphur its
ash is white.
