When the Gazetteer was first announced 800

matter, accumulated through the personal labors
of the editors and their assistants, as well as
through the active efforts of several thousand cor
respondents in all parts of the United States, the
work has sweed to 1900 pages. The
amount OF new matter which il contains, NIL Of
recent character, is very large and in many in.
stances embracing statistics and populations TO
1858. This gives Il an intrinsic value over every
other work Of the kind in existence.

which have arisen in the course of the admins

TT HAS BEEN LONG THE PRACTICE
Il ofthis Office 10 pay the drafts drawn and nego-
tIaled 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 10 apply 10 one draff per
route from each contractor for the aohole amount,
tdeductRg fines, collections, &C., OF his quarterly
pay; but it has been and is quite generally so
misunderstood, as TO 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
il was never anything more) has thus been made
TO embarrass materially the business OF this Office,
forced upon II the settlement Of the pripate ac-

changes OF the country, with qnGSt sanction Of

exposed 10 great and unnecessary risk in deter
mining upon the genuineness of the signatures TO

persons through whose hands these drafts are
made TO pass before their presentation.
II is therefore deemed proper 10 give this public
notice TO contractors, and all concerned that from
and after the lst 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
